No one can escape their own story

"No one escapes his own story" sounds like fate, but it is. No one knows the ending of their own story. Maybe we are all little people, but we are indispensable in our own story.
Lango, the human lizard pet, was accidentally dropped on the road by the desert. And so his story began. A small person grows into a big hero. But the whole story has its ups and downs, and the shapes of those little animals are so cool. Exactly like little pirates and western cowboys. Each character is given a soul and comes alive. "Catch a thief and grab water" is too exciting. The rhythm is tight and the action is gorgeous.
Because it was John Depp who dubbed Rango, I came here a long time ago and waited to watch it, but I haven't watched it for a long time. I didn't expect this movie to be an Oscar-winning animation. I remembered the sentence in the cartoon again: "No one can escape his own story".

Rango quotes

  • Maybelle: [annoyed] You've got a lot of nerve coming back here, lawman. What is it that you want?

    Rango: [dead serious] Yer pappy and them boys are gonna hang for something they didn't do.

    [pause]

    Rango: But I've got a plan...

  • Rango: [taken aback] Golden guardians... Alabaster chariot... The Spirit of the West!

    [to Spirit]

    Rango: Ahem... excuse me... Mister Spirit... sir?

    Spirit of the West: [eyeing a fish hook] Now there's a beaut. Sometimes you have to dig deep to find what you're looking for.

    [to Rango]

    Spirit of the West: So, you made it.

    Rango: Is this Heaven?

    Spirit of the West: If it were, we'd be eating Pop Tarts with Kim Novak.

    Rango: Yeah, ain't that the truth. What are you doing out here?

    Spirit of the West: Searching... same as you.

    Rango: [downhearted] I don't know what I'm looking for. I don't even know who I am.

    [brighter]

    Rango: They used to call you 'The Man with No Name'.

    Spirit of the West: Nowadays, they have a name for just about everything. Doesn't matter what they call you... it's the deeds that make the man.

    Rango: But my deeds just made everything worse. I'm a fake... a phony. My friends were counting on me. They were looking for some sort of hero.

    Spirit of the West: [emphatic] Then be a hero!

    Rango: [disbelief] Oh, no! No, no. I'm not even supposed to be out here.

    Spirit of the West: That's right. You came out here looking for something that didn't exist. But don't you see?

    [pause]

    Spirit of the West: It's not about you... it's about them.

    Rango: But I can't go back.

    Spirit of the West: Don't think you have a choice, son.

    [draws rectangle on windshield]

    Spirit of the West: No man can walk out of his own story.
