The term "American Dream" was coined by the American historian James Truslow Adams (1878-1949), who believed that in a piece of land, as long as people's strength or achievements can lead to better and better Wealthy and more fulfilling lives. However, with the events or phenomena such as the 9/11 incident, the financial tsunami, and inequality between the rich and the poor, this dream is quietly slipping away, and it has even become a myth. As a result, some people begin to question their own worth and the environment they live in. Like the horseshoe in the first episode, he longs to get out and get out of the predicament in front of him—that is, the enclosure in the zoo—to explore the unknown world . For the unknown, he was only excited, without much anxiety, as if he had regained the vitality of survival.
leave to come back. As revealed in the opening scene of the third episode of the movie, going home is the backbone of the plot. The reason why they detoured from Africa to Monte Carlo and then traveled to various European countries was all because they wanted to go home and return to the zoo in New York City. Therefore, the so-called "home" here is actually the United States. During this process, the protagonists got to know a group of circus animals, and joined the performance by accident, becoming a new force in the limelight, and shouldering the heavy responsibility of rebuilding the circus. Ellie, who knew nothing about circus performances, unexpectedly became the object of the sea lion Stefano's admiration. Just because he was from the United States, "American circus" and "American trapeze" Stefano repeatedly praised that the United States carries It is the place of his dreams, as long as everything is plated with the "American" aura, it seems to be superior, even if the clumsy movements of the Elephant are the same. Through the eyes of these circus animals (outsiders), America is once again portrayed as a land of dreams.
Therefore, America in the movie actually has two meanings: for native Americans—that is, zoo animals—the United States, for better or for worse, is their home; for outsiders—that is, circus animals ─ ─ the United States is a beautiful dream land. In other words, this group of circus animals holding the "American Dream" recreates the nostalgic imagination of today's Americans, allowing them to regain the enthusiasm, courage and dreams that have been consumed by real life. Power" is a combination of these elements. So we saw the horseshoe trying to bomb the trapeze, and shouted happily: "We don't want to be land animals, let's be air animals." And Ailei and Leopard Jiaojiao also had a wonderful two-person trapeze show. They regained their self-confidence and challenged themselves through circus performances, turning the impossible into possible, and digging out new possibilities for themselves. This is just like the adventurous spirit of Europeans in the past, who discovered new continents and opened up new unrealized realms. Same.
The adventure of departure has tempered them again. In the end, although they seem to have returned to the "origin", they have already gained a new perspective. Aileshi said: "My stone is smaller than I imagined." Horseshoe also echoed: "The mural actually looks fake. "They look directly at the truth of life, only to realize that the place they once thought was "home" is no longer "home", because it is just a "predicament" shaped by fences and illusions, and they are already in the outside world. Having stayed, gained ability and confidence, of course, he did not want to stay in the "predicament" again, so he chose to officially join the new "home" of the circus, continue to take risks, and rely on his own efforts to conquer the world.
