The gap between humans and animals

Hubert 2022-04-21 09:02:56



This movie is really long enough, even if I have a fondness for boring movies, I still feel like I was consumed for about the entire afternoon.

1. Humans always feel that they understand animals, but I think it is pure nonsense. From King Kong, to the Japanese guide dog named Xiao Q, to the horse in this film, which one do we know?

Even if the relationship with them has eased a little, he still treats them as animals, and treats himself as the first primate.

This innate sense of superiority cannot be avoided.

2. If we talk about the emotional entanglement between people and horses and the growth of GRACE, it might not be a good movie. It can depict the beauty of human nature, the pain of growing up, and the pain of the future more calmly, but the addition of emotional drama is really good. A failure.

There are enough emotional movies, and there is no shortage of this one.

3. The contradictions and estrangements between humans and humans cannot be resolved. Trying to achieve thorough communication between humans and animals is simply more difficult than reaching the sky.

However, the old man in the movie is still quite charming, with style, with the wildness and depth of a western cowboy.

People who can talk to horses at least know more about animals and love nature more than we do.

The Horse Whisperer quotes

  • Tom Booker: Is she going to be long?

    Grace: Probably, she's on the phone 23 hours a day.

    Tom Booker: What does she do?

    Grace: She's an editor.

    Tom Booker: An editor? Ah.

    Grace: Just in case she hasn't told you, which she probably hasn't, I don't want to be a part of this. Okay?

  • Annie: I've never been on a cow farm before. It seems to me that the bulls have the best time. Just laying around the fields waiting for someone to come along and ask them to do their work.

    Tom Booker: You get born a bull you have a 90% chance of being castrated. Served up as hamburger. So on balance, I reckon I'd choose bein' a cow.
