Song and Best Animated Feature Award, won the Best Animated Feature Film Award at the 90th Academy Awards on January 23, 2018. As an animation work, it can be said to be very powerful. The film tells the story of Ferdinand, a bull born in a bullring. He is different from other bulls since he was a child. He doesn't like to fight with other bulls, but likes flowers and smells flowers, but his father told him since he was a child that you To be a bullfighter, to fight, to be like him, to be chosen by a bullfighter, to go to the bullring, that's the glory of bullfighting, that's what all bullfighting should do, so he should too. But Ferdinand didn't want to do this. He had a completely different idea from the bullfighting around him, especially when his father was taken away to the bullring, he wanted to leave the place more and more, and finally one night, he escaped from the bullring. , met a family of florists, he liked it very much, so he started his new life. At a flower festival when he grew up, he did not listen to the advice of the florist and went to the flower festival in the village without authorization. As a result, because of his huge size, he accidentally destroyed a lot of things, and was sent back to him as a beast. He escaped from the bullfighting training ground, where he began his reluctant bullfighting life again, and was accidentally selected by the bullfighting master, and finally had to compete with the master in the bullfighting arena. The images portrayed by Ferdinand in the film are not uncommon in our real life. They have been influenced by their own environment since childhood. They have been arranged for what they want to do and what kind of person they want to become when they grow up. I don't care if I'm arranged, or I don't think about whether I like to do what I want to do, and whether the person I want to be is what I really want to be, they just think that if I do this, I must be the only one , I should do this, this is my mission, if I think this way, I will trap myself in a vicious circle, and I will seal my own way to only one way. If it does not succeed, it will be a permanent failure. And the most terrifying thing is that if someone around you does something other than the mission, they will be regarded as not doing their job properly, just like a bullfight, they can only go to a duel in the bullring, and they will be ridiculed if they like flowers. There is another kind of person, like the goat in the movie, who knows he likes to be a bullfighting trainer, but does things like calming down a grumpy bull, and he doesn't want to be stuck in this bullring for the rest of his life, which makes him very uncomfortable. Satisfied, but unable to change himself, this kind of person needs people like Ferdinand in the film to fight alongside him. People like goats are not people who have no ideas and are content with the status quo, they just lack the They fight alongside those fleeing the status quo. Let's talk about another kind of person, just like Ferdinand in the film, who can realize what he wants to do and like what he wants and dare to do it together regardless of the fact. This kind of people who can clearly see themselves and the environment around them is not common, so their appearance is also very valuable. The world also needs such people who break the routine and pursue their true self.
