The truth about utopia

The first reaction after watching it was, when will the heavenly dynasty be able to make such a spring and rainy political propaganda film! Compared with the awkward and unbearable images of bears and joyousness and the script that irritates you without hesitation, zootopia's level is like the artillery shells that bombarded the Qing Dynasty. It completely crushes the former from all aspects without pressure.

my country’s cartoons are still at the mentally retarded level, and zootopia has become a saint and has begun to influence people’s hearts. Some people see inspirational films, anybody could be anything, some people see all kinds of cute animals, and some people see them. It is an absolutely correct American political propaganda film, especially when the immigration and anti-immigration riots are inevitable, even the strictest racist smiles and realizes that he can only grumble and be set up. , And as a strict dystopian, let us look at other truths hidden behind utopia.

The name of the film is zootopia, but if it is accurately translated, the name should be mammaltopia, an ideal country for mammals. It is set a few years later that all mammals have gotten rid of their instincts and evolved into human-like existences, using technology and "basically" to be able to coexist peacefully, foxes and rabbits, cats and mice, although they still have grievances, they are like hunters. We no longer have the instinct to hunt. And it seems to be possible to assume that the film is not actually describing a utopia in the strict sense, but an allusion of contemporary human society—and furthermore—American emperor.

You can feel the shadows of various human societies, such as prejudice, bullying and even hate crimes. Then what I want to say is a darker understanding of what is maintaining the operation of this utopia.

There is one detail that I am concerned about. When Judy left the Rabbit Valley on the train, there was a "rabbit mouth display card" that jumped wildly (the first time I didn’t see the specific number, I fell), which showed that although the mammals After the big evolution, the rabbit's instinct for reproduction has not disappeared. You must know that the survival strategy of the rabbit is to "even the eaten part is born." Generally speaking, once the economy develops, the reproductive instincts of animals (humans) will be suppressed. This is why the population in developed societies has been shrinking in recent years, but in the film rabbits (or rabbits, such as those at the bottom of the food pyramid, suckle Kind of) but it is almost crazy to give birth to rabbits driven by a certain motivation. Where did the birth of rabbits go? In particular, where will the offspring of rabbits who are discriminated against and considered only suitable for farming go?

Look at the predator in the film again. Their canine teeth are still developed and terrifying. At first glance, you can see that they are completely carnivores, not even omnivores. What do they eat? If it is really vegetarian or omnivorous, it should slowly become like the leopard in the police department’s reception, instead of the fangs and claws still there, just waiting for awakening, as the film said, this kind of DNA is still there. , It’s just not being inspired.

It is possible that they are eating other non-mammals, such as birds, fish, reptiles, and amphibians. In this mammal metropolis, other animals may not have evolved. Just like humans have raised other animals in captivity, perhaps in the eyes of the mammals in the film, other animals have no intelligent meat-producing machines and can be eaten as food, but there is one The question, how to solve the crazy breeding rabbits? If family planning is not properly promoted, any utopia will be quickly destroyed by creatures that multiply at will.

The fact is that even though rabbits have such crazy fertility, predator is still stable at 1:9 than prey. As the author who almost became a biological dog, he almost conditioned to remember that this is a classic food chain. Energy transfer efficiency, managers are likely to clearly realize this, and they will definitely arrange a factor to act as an environmental pressure to solve these extra-minute rabbits, and contact the mayor of Lion’s secret laboratory and the underground of Thunder Town. The black market, it is not difficult to think that perhaps meat managers, for the sake of stable and safe eating (rather than risking their lives on the prairie all day and fighting with rhinos and buffaloes), chose to breed a lot of smaller but larger numbers. Prey, and in order to be able to maintain the stability of this supply chain for a long time, they fabricated such a beautiful utopia: a few managers know this secret, and they provide other predators with "safe, green and pollution-free" civilized meat products to suppress their Hunting nature, while also enacting laws to sanction those restless predators (meows, the legendary evil creatures that kill small animals for fun 233) to maintain stability, and all these fantasies are to encourage the vast rabbits We live fast, run into communism.

Miss Sheep might have accidentally learned that there were few feathers from the Mayor of Lion, and wanted to go to power through night howlers, but unfortunately she hadn't been exposed to all the truth before she broke out of Judy and threw her into jail.

And back to human society, who has the cheapest labor to drive this society? Which group has the most votes? In order to stabilize them, who has been advocating happy education?

Well, it's all nonsense and can't be taken seriously.
