Surprisingly, the villain is the monkey closest to humans. Is it ironic in a sense? The biggest barrier between humans and animals is communication barriers, but love is enough for true communication. Mowgli was brought up by wolves. In his eyes, humans are animals. Wolves are not our traditional sturdy and cruel image. They have their own rules. As a human child, Mowgli has been Instilling this law, he was taught not to use those little tricks, which would destroy the law of the forest. Everywhere has its own laws, and the human world is the same.
I have to say that I still admire this Mao boy. The only human image in the film (not to mention the memory in the middle). It is said that except for a tree, the rest is green cloth. His performance depends on imagination and special effects in the later stage. It's the "Fantasy Forest" of today.
