For a nation, a simple fairy tale is far better than ten profound philosophies.

It started with war and panic, and then peace and happiness. The great changes in history, the tribe’s salvation only stemmed from the soft moment of an ignorant child-Hiccup foolishly gave up his reputation, foolishly threw down his dagger, and succumbed to the tenderness of kindness and love.

In the words of our aesthetics teacher, at that moment, Hiccup "turned around gorgeously".

But the movie does not express wisdom or philosophy, but a simple fairy tale that children can understand. I think all three of us in the same group like this story.

Because of letting go of killing, there is mutual understanding behind. Because of mutual understanding, Hiccup was able to tame various "tyrannosaurus" in training and won a true reputation. Because of mutual help, Hiccup and dragon fly wonderfully in the sky. Because of the special flying skills, Hiccup won love.

But just that, this is not a good story. Dragon loves Hiccup, and Chief also loves Hiccup. When Dragon and Chief want to save Hiccup at the same time, a dramatic conflict occurs, and Chief binds Dragon for the tribe.

If the story ends here, Chief kills dragon, starts with love, develops with love, and ends with hate, then this has become a tragedy that makes us sad and makes adults sigh.

But the movie chose to amplify this power of mutual love and mutual help. Their cooperation defeated the dragon that even dragons and people feared, and conquered the deep-rooted hatred between dragons and people, and reproduced a theme of human belief." Love is much stronger than hate."

At the end of the film, Hiccup lost a leg, and dragon lost a tail wing. It looks like a difficult brother, very cute. The pictures and colors are very delicate, as if every hair can be seen. Is the background music too expressive? This is a fairy tale. We are all children. In the eyes of children, the world is inherently colorful~

Yes, reality is not a fairy tale. Goodness and love cannot solve all problems. But can it be said that only with kindness and love can we understand and help each other, and that human civilization has hope of moving forward?

For a nation, a simple fairy tale is far better than ten profound philosophies.

How to Train Your Dragon quotes

  • Hiccup: [Stoick has just thrust a large battle axe into his hands] I... don't wanna fight dragons.

    Stoick: [chuckles] Oh, come on, yes you do.

    Hiccup: Rephrase: Dad, I *can't* kill dragons.

    Stoick: But you *will* kill dragons!

    Hiccup: No, I'm really, very extra sure that I *won't*.

    Stoick: It's time, Hiccup...

    Hiccup: Can you not *hear* me?

    Stoick: This is *serious*, son. When you carry this axe, you carry all of us with you. Which means, you walk like us, you talk like us, and you think like us. No more of... this!

    [gestures to all of Hiccup]

    Hiccup: [miffed] You just gestured to *all* of me.

    Stoick: Deal?

    Hiccup: This conversation is feeling very one-sided...

    Stoick: *Deal*?

    Hiccup: [sighs, giving in] Deal.

  • Gobber: [to Hiccup during dragon training] Don't worry. You're small and you're weak. That'll make you less of a target! They'll see you as sick or insane and go after the more viking-like teens instead.
