In the 28th year of Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty, Henry John Temple, the first auxiliary temple of Yingyi and Yi, said: "Friends and enemies are not long-lasting, and benefits are always passed on." "How to Train Your Dragon" (How to Train Your Dragon) is a seemingly warm depiction of friendship, family affection and love, but in fact it deeply reveals the principle of the supremacy of interests. Let us interpret it.

1. People don't have friendship with dragons, they just make use of it nakedly,
there is no love for no reason, and no hate for no reason. The reason why the Vikings wanted to train the dragon was to use the dragon to defend the village and even attack other dragons. Just like humans domesticated dogs back then, in order to let them take care of the nursing home, and turn their teeth to deal with their blood-thicker compatriots-wolves. From the perspective of wolves, dogs are full-fledged wolf traitors, running dogs, and traitors.

2. The owner and the pet are cold to the bones. In the
movie, the Vikings claim that the dragon is their pet, just like the pony and the parrot of the foreigners, it seems to be dissolving the dragon’s livestock identity and diminishing the utilitarian color of the relationship between humans and dragons. In fact, it further hints at the tragic position of the dragon. Pets have always been just playthings that the owner talks to to relieve boredom and pseudo-communication objects that are turned out to fill the emptiness of the mind and satisfy their own desire for control and moral superiority. In order to enslaved and control the body and spirit, the owner often puts a chain on the pet. They are separated from their wives and ions in a cage, and even they are sterilized or even castrated in order to satisfy the owner's convenience. The relationship between the owner and the pet seems to be tender, but in fact it is as cold as the bone marrow.

3. You can't bear to kill the dragon, but the fish provoke
someone else. Hiccup first saw the dragon shot by him, but didn't kill it. It seems to be out of human compassion, but it is hypocritical. In order to feed the dragon, he did not hesitate to hunt fish again and again. After all, which species expresses this kind of "pseudo compassion" is determined by interests.

4. Carrots and sticks, the conqueror’s habit
The way the Vikings tamed the dragon was nothing more than a combination of grace and power, using food and other small favors to win over them, and at the same time intimidating them with eels and other things that the dragon was afraid of. Relying on carrots and sticks, the Vikings made the dragon bow to himself and swear allegiance to his death.

5. Launched foreign wars and passed on conflicts in the
village. The village was attacked by dragons, and the livestock suffered heavy casualties. Seeing that it was impossible to survive the winter, the village chief did not pay close attention to economic development, but used the banner of the village's interests to resort to military violence and repeatedly launched foreign wars. His true intentions It is to divert the attention of the village, transfer the contradictions in the village, and maintain their authoritarian rule.

6. Domestic slave or subjugated slave? ——Dragon power is higher than sovereignty.
Despite the evil intentions of the human race, the dragons in the cave scattered when the army came in. There was no resistance. The tamed dragons even happily formed a "pseudo army" to the dragons. The boss made a counter-attack. The movie instead of condemning this, but rather beautifies it, because the dragon boss is portrayed as a tyrant, enslaving the people and killing innocent people indiscriminately. This shows that dragon power is higher than sovereignty. Even if the human race has a subjective selfish purpose, as long as it objectively serves the interests of the oppressed dragon and overthrows the evil ruling dragon, the Kaicheng surrender is also worthwhile. The human race to conquer the dragons is just like the king of Wu's cutting down on the dragons. It is a just battle of "being benevolent and unkind" praised by Mencius. All dragons should eat pots of pulp to meet the king's master. If they are all slaves, what is the difference between being a domestic slave or a subjugated slave? And if the country can be freed by subjugation, why not do it? The ruling class always tries to disguise class contradictions as national contradictions, and disguise the anti-tyranny wars against gold, yuan, Qing, and Japan as national wars. The truth is: the people have always opposed tyranny, not alien rule. Only when alien rule exists in the form of tyranny, the people will rise up to resist.

7. If you want to conquer women, you must have a good car.
This vulgar theme has been revealed in "Avatar". "How to Train Your Dragon" only proves once again eloquently: no matter how smart and talented men are, It's useless to be able to fight a fight, it only provokes women's eyes and hatred, but as long as there is a good car, everything changes.

8. You can’t bear to kill the dragon, but who provokes the fish (continued) The
movie deliberately portrays the fish as dead fish, and is dumbfounded, and the dragon is dressed up to be "cute". The intention is obvious, that is, to dispel the audience’s feelings. The sympathy of the fish makes the audience feel that dragon eating fish is natural and reasonable. In sharp contrast, in Finding Nemo, in order to arouse the audience's sympathy for the fish, the fish is portrayed into an extremely cute image. This further reveals that the so-called compassion of human beings is based on their subjective preferences.
