I just watched the movie "Duma", and I am still in the mood. I really like these kinds of films about the relationship between humans and animals, because there are more pure emotions in them. Of course, I am also curious about how the director made these animals, especially the beasts and actors, to make these films. The movie "Duma" tells a story that happened in the vast and charming South African grassland. The protagonist Xan's family lives here. In an accident, Xan and his father saw a newborn cheetah and took it with him. back home. The life of the Xan family on the prairie farm is like paradise. The father likes the wild life very much and gives Xan a lot of life skills. The mother is beautiful and gentle. The arrival of the cheetah Duma brings more joy to the family, but the accident still happened. , Xan's father fell ill and died, his mother rented out the farm and brought Xan to the city, Duma sneaked out of the house to go to school to find Xan, during the riot, Xan took Duma away to fulfill his father's wish. Before he died, he told Xan that he would take Duma to the grassland, and let Duma return to the embrace of nature, and then a cheetah and a boy started their own heroic journey. The blue and vast sky, the boundless desert, the dazzling sun, a boy, a motorcycle, and Duma, the cheetah sitting in the motorcycle's passenger seat, together with the distant and blurred music, constitute a beautiful painting. It's like fantasy.

I really admire this boy. He is stubborn, independent, brave, smart and fearless. He embarked on an almost desperate road for his beloved partner to return to his homeland. When he was in danger, he met a black backpacker, so he started three people. During this expedition, we experienced many difficulties, setbacks and dangers. The original design suspicion turned to trust and love between xan and the backpackers. Together, they built a wind-powered motorcycle to stay away from the vast desert and find an oasis. When the water was dug out, Xan rescued the backpacker who was looking for treasures in the abandoned mine, but he also saw his intention to hand them over to the police to get a bounty and left alone. Trapped in a beast trap, and Xan encountered a wild boar, the backpacker appeared to save everyone in the crisis, and the two also untied the knot and began to move forward in unity. During the journey, both the xan and the backpackers have changed in their hearts. Backpackers have been chasing their desire to stand out from their hometown and their relatives. They have failed in the big city and gradually got lost. After several adventures that passed by death, the stubborn and persistent boy and his docile cheetah gradually He opened his eyes and let him see that the most important thing in life is not money and status but staying with his family, and finally returning to his family. Xan was sad and didn't understand because of his father's sudden death, but the journey and the backpacker's words made him understand life and love. In the end, when he took Duma back to the grassland without hesitation, Duma found a partner and started a real wild life. He went home and returned to his mother's arms. He also understood that his father never left but became a part of his life. Love will never disappear because of his departure, whether it was his father's departure or Duma's departure.

After watching the whole movie, there was another image that stuck in my mind: when Duma was playing with another cheetah, he heard xan's cry, and he would still run to xan and put his paws on xan's body, Play with him intimately, and then lie quietly beside him, completely losing the wildness of predation just now, more like another child and a playmate. This scene moved me. The relationship between animals and children is always the purest and most profound. There is no harassment in the world, no worries in the adult world, just the purest relationship. I am afraid this is why children are always easy to get along with. The reason why animals get along with them is to gain their trust, because only children have the purest eyes and see the world with the purest eyes. It's a pity that as adults, we have long lost that innocence on the road of growth, and we are afraid that we will never get it back.
