Rational and irrational behavior in economics

The music, the colors, the style of the film are all special. It's just that the author doesn't quite understand what the author wants to express. The fox father made a promise to stop stealing when his wife was pregnant and fell into a trap, but after he settled down, he couldn't bear to change the tree house and steal three rural masters. Nearly killed the whole family and all the animals that lived underground nearby.

There are many assumptions and premises in economics. For example, people are rational people, and people seek benefits and avoid disadvantages, but these assumptions cannot explain the behavior of father fox. In my opinion, the quality of life of Father Fox has improved significantly after he changed his career as a journalist. He doesn't have to worry about it, he is quiet and leisurely, and according to the assumption that everyone seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages, Father Fox must no longer be in his old job. However, there was something in his blood and his natural bones that made dad fox buy a black professional mask, developed a "master plan", and overcame a series of obstacles such as the power grid to steal things. I think, in this process, he must have obtained a great sense of psychological satisfaction and satisfied some of his nature, but this behavior will probably pay a great price, the lives of himself and his family.

I can't judge whether Father Fox's behavior is good or bad, but I know that my habitual thinking makes me think from the perspective of economics and law, so it is difficult to understand Father Fox at first. However, the starting point of a behavior has an economic perspective and From a social perspective, what is incomprehensible from an economics perspective may be understandable from a social behavioral perspective.

Another point, is the wolf that appears at the end of the film. He doesn't wear clothes like other animals in the film. He walks like a man on his hind legs. The wolf walks on all fours. He can't speak English and Latin. And there was power, like a savage breeze, and I remember papa fox shedding tears when he saw it, and muttered: What a beautiful creature. Yes, the fox father has a family, has children, and has all the norms of rational behavior. He can no longer take great risks to steal things. This is the price of his warm family life and rational people.

    I also have an amazing dad fox at home! The last encounter with the wolf was so well written that Father Fox was in tears. He was a brave and wise beast.

    Stop motion animation has always been my love. However, the expectation of Daddy Fox was so high that he was a little disappointed. What is so great about Daddy Fox? Suppress wildness for the sake of his wife and children? Exhausting Ze and fishing triggers human revenge? Encourage all animals and humans to go to war? Perhaps what the fairy tale wants to express is just the high-style anti-capitalist carnival of proletarian animals. Perhaps in the final analysis, this greatness is also relative. It is also about stealing things. If you are caught and killed, you will be a bastard. If you can't die, you will become a hero. The ironic meaning is greater than the educational meaning.

Fantastic Mr. Fox quotes

  • Mr. Fox: Wake up, everybody, they're digging us out!

    Mrs. Fox: They'll kill the children!

    Mr. Fox: Over my dead body they will!

    Mrs. Fox: That's what I'm saying, you'd be dead too in that scenario!

    Mr. Fox: Well, I'm arguing against that!

    Mrs. Fox: What are you talking about?

    Mr. Fox: WHY ARE YOU YELLING AT ME?

    Kylie: STOP, STOP, STOP! You say one thing, she says another, and it all changes back again!

  • Franklin Bean: Any fox problems?

    Walter Boggis: Are you joking?

    Nathan Bunce: It's horrible!

    Walter Boggis: We're miserable!

    Nathan Bunce: He's laughing at us!

    Walter Boggis: It's humiliating!

    Nathan Bunce: We're furious!

    Walter Boggis: I don't even want to talk about it.

    Franklin Bean: [drinks a glass of cider] Perhaps we ought to kill him.

    Walter Boggis: Well, that seems rather obvious.

    Nathan Bunce: He's too sneaky!

    Franklin Bean: Ah, yes. He's very clever, isn't he? Might be a bit difficult, I suppose.

    [shoots every light around in one fluid movement]

    Franklin Bean: But I already figured out where this fox lives. So tomorrow night, we'll camp in the bushes, wait for him to come out of the hole in the tree, and shoot the cuss to smithereens. How does that grab you, fellas?

    Walter Boggis: Yeah, don't see why not.
