"Everything in the world has spirituality."-Inscription
Hiccup and Toothless have gone through many hardships, and they have a deep friendship in the short time to get along. Although one person and one dragon are not able to communicate with each other, they can communicate with each other with their eyes. Entrusted to each other's back-there is not only family, friendship and revolutionary friendship between them.
He never knew each other, and let Xiao Hicc discover that humans and dragons can live in harmony; in the sequel, he found that the villain used the dragon as a slave to control and drive. At that moment, he realized that there are many dragons that need help; and finally In Zhang Li, Hiccup desperately sees the human nature of the villain-some people's greed and selfishness cannot be persuaded, as long as the dragon lives in the human world, there will be no peace.
The film is adapted from "How to Tame Your Dragon" by the famous British children's book writer Cressida Cowell. She is hailed by the British media as an adventure fantasy novelist in the "post Harry Potter era", and DreamWorks has a smart eye Know Zhu, put this story on the screen, and present a visual feast in the climax of "How to Train Your Dragon 3"-the utopia of the dragon.
The full growth, adventure, mythology and epic final chapter of color, not only demonstrates the imagination of paradise burst table, but also let us in this gorgeous scenery, read a small hiccup hiccup and toothless young to be separated inevitability - Human They cannot coexist with the dragons, no matter how close their friendship is, in the end, they must leave each other and embrace their own world.
01. Lack of self-confidence: "I am still looking for my direction"
Hiccup is smart and smart, with strong insight and creativity. He is especially good at mechanical manufacturing. However, as good as he is, he still always doubts himself, thinking that without the help of a powerful toothless boy, he is just a worthless person.
At the same time, because his success is triggered by an opportunity, and every decision he makes is taking advantage of the trend, he can't see his strength clearly.
It's like fighting against one more difficult struggle, more and more people know about the dragon clan on Bok Island, and for a while they become the target of public criticism, which forces Xiaohic to think "rebelliously" and find a new home for the people-even if you want to. Moved away from the homeland passed down by the ancestors for seven generations.
We can imagine that it takes courage and courage to propose to leave the home that has been passed down from generation to generation.
Hiccup never acted blindly with the bravery and belligerence of the Vikings. Instead, he thought carefully. In order to protect the tribe and the dragon and avoid the battle and let everyone lose their love, he dared to find another way. He advocated leading everyone out of the "comfort zone" and looking for it. New home.
Everyone is where Bok Island is located-his acumen and foresight are the most precious qualities of a leader.
However, he was obviously capable of being extraordinary, but he never noticed his strong leadership and action ability, let alone think that he was capable of serving as a chief. Especially when he witnessed the toothless boy becoming the "king of dragons", the insurmountable distance deepened his inferiority and reluctance.
Hiccup's lack of self-confidence prevented him from facing the faith in his heart and made him rely more and more on Toothless Boy.
Until the elder Gerber predicted that "one day, you will cause an unwinnable war", Toothless Boy was repeatedly injured. He knew that his abilities were limited, Hiccup finally made up his mind to let it return to the entire dragon clan. Secretly, this is the best way to protect them.
It is mentioned in "Inferiority and Transcendence": Everyone will have some sense of inferiority, because we will find that our environment is not satisfactory. If we can maintain the courage, there is the only way to eliminate this feeling-to improve the status quo.
At this point, Hiccup finally accepts the change and no longer hesitates- he assumes the responsibility of a chief and is determined to forge ahead. Even without the company of Toothless Boy, he must complete himself in his own position and in his own world. duty of.
02. Awakening of consciousness: "You have taken care of me for too long, it's time to be yourself"
With the talent of Toothless Boy, it can be called "God Assist", whether it is fire, water or even air combat, it perfectly cooperates with hiccups to defeat every battle, so hard work and great achievements, so someone once joked that "it's time to give him a girl." Friends".
DreamWorks lives up to expectations. Toothless finally ushered in his partner "Light Sha" in "How to Train Your Dragon 3", and in order to facilitate the toothless chasing of Guang Sha, Hiccup also took the initiative to make a new feature upgrade for it. Tail.
So in the final chapter, the feelings of hiccup and toothless boy are sublimated again-from "the scholar dies for the confidant" without fear of sacrifice, sublimation to "let you live more freely" let go.
Through the theme of "The Hidden World", we learned that human migration is just a branch of the story. The main task of the final chapter is to let the dragons disappear in the human world and return to their mysterious and safe place of origin.
"The stronger the ability, the greater the responsibility." Toothless boys always support the hiccup with full firepower, and they always show extraordinary combat effectiveness with their dual swords. But regardless of the hiccup or the toothless boy, although they are connected, they are still individuals with independent thinking. Especially when life comes to a crossroads, their separation is inevitable.
Toothless is smart, simple, loyal, and powerful. It is actually used to coping with the crisis in the human world. If it can, I believe it is willing to live in the human world with the evil spirit. But after becoming the "Dragon King", it seems to understand its mission- it is easy to fight alone, but to protect the huge dragon clan, they need a natural barrier, a world without human desires.
After the Toothless Boy and the Dragon Clan returned to the hidden realm, Hiccup finally stopped escaping under the comfort of Astrie, and learned to face his own strengths and carry it forward. Before he knew Toothless Boy, he already had the courage and persistence. Such a good quality.
In this way, it seems that the distinction is not a bad thing. On the contrary, there is a kind of philosophy of "I don't know the true face of Mount Lu, but I am only in this mountain"-only by jumping outside can we see ourselves clearly.
So looking at it from another angle, the hiccups and toothless boys, who have become leaders, lose each other, and at the same time force them to grow and mature rapidly, and to develop their lives more independently-to achieve each other and achieve better results. Own.
03. Cruel truth: "The human world is not worth it"
There is no doubt that the Vikings on Bok Island are all champions of the dragon, but they are friendly to the dragon, but it does not mean that others are also the same to the dragon.
Especially after many experiences of hurting dragons because of human greed and selfishness, Hiccup finally accepts this cruel and helpless fact-dragons will never be safe in the human world.
However, what is more uncomfortable is that the film shines into reality.
In today's highly-developed civilized society, some people have an attitude towards animals, just like the anti-toothless boy-they are greedy for available, valuable or rare animals.
In order to enjoy more, human beings not only destroy the ecological environment, from deliberate hunting and killing, to random garbage pollution, so that the vulnerable animals have been harmed, living on the edge of torture and death.
"Desires are endless", in order to satisfy some people's interests and material vanity, carnage-like factories have risen from the ground, killing their lives in an invisible corner:
For example, foxes, crocodiles, snakes, and ostriches that have been skinned by humans are processed into various brand-name clothing and bags on the assembly line, which become the sundries that celebrities put on the shelf after showing off;
Humans also capture wild "omnivores" civet cats, in order to increase their discharge of unique coffee beans, they are forced to feed a single coffee bean, which not only causes them malnutrition, but also suffers the trapped body and mind;
There is also the most notorious habit of "eating" pangolins. Although the news has repeatedly refuted rumors that the composition of pangolin scales is the same as that of human nails, its meat not only has no nutritional value, but also contains residues of cement paint, stimulants and tranquilizers. Thing
But just because it was exaggerated by the interests, the pangolin unknowingly became a capital to show off its wealth. However, it is just an animal that survives by digging holes and eating ants.
It may be excusable to hunt and kill because of ignorance in the past, but nowadays mature civilization and technology have not only failed to let those people learn to fear life, but also let them have the superiority of the "master"-animal life can do whatever they want.
If there is a device that can make humans feel the fear and suffering of animals, let humans experience the feeling of physical torture and dying, and face cruelty and blood, perhaps those people will know how abominable they are.
However, although the instrument has not been developed, not long ago, a popular environmentally friendly animation short "Turning Point", "cute and cruel" interprets the drama of the exchange of identities and situations between humans and animals: human beings are kept and enslaved by animals. And slaughtered.
This short film can be described as "strange and true", but I don't know how much conscience can be awakened by the shocking scenes and full of ironic allegories?
Remember the previous news reports on the new crown epidemic?
When we are home to all human beings due to the epidemic, animals that avoid humans can finally appear leisurely on the quiet streets, without the noise of tourists or the noise of cars, nature has shown its healing and resilience.
Fawn strolling in small Italian towns, wild boars infested the streets of the community, jellyfish emerging on the Venice Canal, rabbits running on the highways in Wuhan, and the exceptionally clear blue sky-that is probably a rare spectacle in our life.
But after we saw such news, our humorous and cheerful mood immediately dropped, because this fact proves that animals and humans cannot "coexist".
Humans and animals obviously share the same earth, but what is shown before our eyes is often a sense of disharmony. Animals can only show up when humans clear the field. The unstable and expelled way of living allows them to gather in places where humans gather. It's difficult to move.
"The human world is not worth it" This is the voice of Hiccup, but it is not our voice.
We are still looking for a balance. We hope that we can understand and love animals, but also respect the importance of life.
Written at the end:
"How to Train Your Dragon 3" takes on the plots of the first two parts, and at the end explains the origin and disappearance of the dragons. Although they have become legends, the Vikings who have been with them will always miss them for being smart and friendly. .
Growth is always inseparable from the subject of separation, and friendship is as deep as a hiccup and a toothless boy is no exception.
If "separation" means having a better self, then why don't we bravely say goodbye?
Just like Hiccups and Toothless Boys, they will not only fulfill their respective lives in the end, they will even move on in the invisible future, overcome obstacles, and explore their tireless new fields, new technologies and new worlds.
Although the coexistence of humans and dragons has become a legend, the days of our coexistence with animals continue;
I hope that after this battle, we can not only work together to overcome the epidemic, but also recognize the importance of animals to us and realize the weight of life regardless of high or low.
