Let’s take stock of the various contradictory characters
in the film : Panther is a kind but conservative mentor in the film. He seems to have some understanding of human society, and he is also very familiar with Mowgli’s growth character and creativity. He has always Boys are forbidden to use human skills in the jungle, almost persistently thinking that the village belongs to humans, but miraculously 180 degrees at the last minute, Mowgli encourages Mowgli to use human skills to fight against tigers.
The wolf pack is a group where collective interests are paramount. When Mowgli was discovered by the tiger that the wolf pack was threatened, he made a decisive decision to exile the boy, and even chose to silently yield to preserve the group when the leader was tragically killed by an unprovoked attack. Such a group finally duel with the tiger and after the most powerful bear of its own party was defeated, suddenly the group changed sex and almost died to death. The whole group fights for the short time for Mowgli to run into the forest fire.
The most incredible thing is that these two staunch conservative representatives did not make a decision because of their trust in the boy's abilities, but after the unreliable behavior of Mowgli rashly attracting fire to ignite the jungle! And if they were moved that Mowgli gave up the only kind of fire that was beneficial to them and chose to return to nature and fight collectively with the wolves, they immediately persuaded Mowgli to give up the return of nature and turn around to choose the way of mankind. Heaven and earth, I was shocked by this magical logic. Little Mowgli, I can understand why you have been in a state of confusion and self-contradiction, because your mentor and ethnic group themselves are really hard to understand.
There are also various contradictory supporting actors. Legend has it that the sacred elephant who created the forest was helpless with a small dirt pit, and disappeared when his child was saved by Mowgli in various distress; but the problem was almost near. At the end of the solution, he served as an engineering team under the command of the boy. It is not known whether it was to reflect their strong physique or the boy's outburst of human wisdom. Mysterious big snake, you are already very powerful, and you can hypnotize this kind of magic. Is it difficult to swallow the helpless little boy in one bite? So so much of your nonsense and hypnosis show is actually just to make soy sauce to match the introduction of the background plot? And Mr. Monkey King, is it difficult for you to steal a fire from a human village with so many dexterous and obedient subordinates? If it’s because you don’t know how to use it, then look at Mowgli’s understanding of fire later. When you lit the jungle and threw the torch to face the tiger, where did you expect his magical value come from? I.
The consistent thing in the film is probably that our furry, lazy, honey-loving, hibernating bear brother is a little cunning and selfish, but kind-hearted, soft-hearted, optimistic, obedient, can teach singing, can indulge in spiritual chicken soup, and be able to climb at critical moments. Can climb trees and fight tigers. There is no regret that Mowgli can get a good friend like this!
