The original text was published in Chengdu Business Daily on 5/4. After the earthquake in Ya'an, Sichuan, the devastated scene and the helpless eyes of the victims have always been imprinted in my heart. Just like every sudden natural disaster, it is always so easy to destroy the homes that people have worked so hard to build. While paying attention to the earthquake news and praying for the victims, I accidentally watched the American cartoon "Crazy Primitives" and found that the storyline was inseparable from the earth's disaster. Light. The primitive people "Kru family", a family of six lived in a cave under the protection of their father Grug (Guage). After an earthquake, they lost the cave, and the Kru family was forced to leave. Find a new home and embark on an adventurous journey. [Change, not for destruction, but for better continuation] "Failed to survive" is a very common idiom, but we rarely have the opportunity to experience the true meaning in conversation, because most people are always favored by the god of luck , Only a few people can deeply understand how difficult and precious it is to work hard to survive when they encounter natural and man-made disasters. The Crewe family in the movie is like all ordinary families, they rarely move and don't want to move. They move around the cave every day, as long as they can fill their stomachs and live safely. In their world, "change" is equivalent to "danger", which must be strictly forbidden and completely avoided. An earthquake completely collapsed the safest cave. Just imagine, when the protection of our homeland instantly becomes a murderer that may devour our lives, who is not afraid? And who can desperately believe that tomorrow will be better? However, it is precisely because of the fear that follows the shadow, the Cru family's paranoia that they will not leave the cave has been changed. The outside world is indeed very dangerous, but only by going out can you know how wonderful the outside world is? There are two sides to everything. This is an obvious truth, but few people can stand in the middle of the scale and think in a balanced way, because once everything is relevant, it is difficult not to be biased. Therefore, we need good movies, so that we can fully see the world we are in from a certain distance. "Fear" often stems from "unknown". With a comprehensive perspective, when the unknown becomes known, "fear" brings not only the result of destruction, but also a force for survival. Therefore, after meeting Guy (Gai), the nomadic tribesman, the eldest daughter Eep, who was originally curious about the world in the movie, finally knew that the "fire" that also glows is not the "sun" you see every day, but A fire that gives warmth and light, if not used properly, can become a disaster like an earthquake. And the "home" that has always protected us, if we just close the doors and windows, Unwillingness to open the door may also become a "shackle" that locks us, making us ignorant and insensitive. In fact, ignorance and insensitivity are the culprits behind the worsening of the world. This made me think that although the earthquake brought devastating damage, it also witnessed the strong vitality of people and the kindness of mutual care between people. All the lives lost due to disasters are to remind those who survived to love each other more, just like the boy Guy (Gai) always remembers the last words his parents told him: "Don't be cowardly, live, follow the sun, you will be can create tomorrow. 』People, will eventually die, the difference is only in the time sooner or later, no one knows whether the world after death is beautiful, or the living life is brilliant? Live well, not only for yourself, but also for your loved ones who have been forced to leave before they can create a better tomorrow. Change will inevitably bring harm, but I always believe that the purpose of change is not to destroy, but to continue for the better. Someone asked: What is the meaning of "tomorrow" for those who have been severely hurt by God? The only meaning I can think of is to see all the world's scenery he wants to see, taste the world's food he wants to eat, and fulfill his unfulfilled wish for the person he loves, with the warmth that he never left, to warm his love world. And this meaning is actually the interpretation and inheritance of "love". [The head of the family is not to dominate the fate of the children, but to give warm hugs] Every family has a head of the family. The head of the family in the movie is the father, Grug. Like all fathers, he To protect the safety of the whole family, he tirelessly told his children not to stay away from the cave, for fear that the child would be in danger as soon as he was out of sight. But he has a daughter Eep who is curious about the world. When the authority of the father can no longer cover the eyes of his daughter's desire, he becomes a father who is overwhelmed and full of frustration. In the movie, he has a dialogue with Guy (Gai), the boy Eep (Yi) likes: "Maybe, I'm just too busy helping her. "It doesn't matter, my father will do it." 』The phrase "that's what my father would do" reminds me that my father did too. After graduating from the graduate school, it was very difficult to find a job for a period of time. In addition to the increasing psychological pressure, what troubled me the most was the constant inquiries from my father. The most outrageous thing is that my father actually wanted me, who studied literature, to work in a bank, but he ignored my personal wishes. My father just kept nagging me: "If you don't try it, how do you know that the bank is not for you? Now that it is hard to find a job, with a high degree of education and a high unemployment rate, you are still picking and choosing. 』 Every time I hear these words, I get so upset that I want to run away from home immediately. Although I knew that my father was out of concern, he was eager to help me, but I was not interested in the only field he was familiar with. He thought I didn’t know what was good and bad. I thought he didn’t understand me and would just worry. They often break up without saying a few words. Of course, I know that my father is for my own good, and I feel distressed that I am constantly frustrated and want to solve problems for me, but there are some problems in life that I can only rely on myself. Just like the father Grug in the movie, he was too busy helping his daughter and only wanted her to do as he said, so he didn't have the heart to think: What does her daughter really want? Most parent-child relationships are actually the same: because of love, parents do their best for their children and want to dominate everything, but they forget that the growing children have their own ideas, and even if the road ahead is difficult, they want to go their own way. After that, in order to avoid my father's continuous fatigue bombardment, I deliberately left home for a period of time, and the relationship between father and daughter tended to ease until I embarked on my own path. At the end of the movie, after countless crises, the daughter threw herself into her father's arms, leaving a warm picture of father and daughter embracing each other. At that moment, I suddenly understood one thing: there is really no need to draw swords between father and daughter, and all conflicts arising from "love" must be resolved with "love" in the end. Every parent was a child once, and every child will be a parent. All we need to remember is: less finger pointing, more hugging. After all, the best way to practice love is always: be gentle. [As soon as your mind changes, the "food" that disappears after eating can become a companion "pet"] This is obviously a symbiotic world, but human beings always want to control everything with arrogant power, including the lives of animals. In the beginning, the Cru family, who was always hungry, wanted to eat any animal they saw. In their eyes, there were no "pets" but "food". It didn't change until they encountered man-eating birds and many colorful and strange creatures on the road of adventure, and were inspired by Guy (Gai). Humans can't just look at the surface, and animals can't either. Humans and animals are hostile because of desire and malice. I remembered a news from Taiwan a few days ago. A man went to a friend's house as a guest. The friend wanted to kill a goose to entertain him, but when the man saw the pitiful eyes of the goose to be slaughtered in the backyard, he moved with pity and did not avoid it. The goose could not escape the fate of being slaughtered in the future, and he asked a friend to let him take the goose home. Later, the man kept the goose in the front yard. The amazing thing was that this goose actually became a dedicated "guardian goose". Whenever a stranger approached the house, it would scream in the sky to protect the safety of the owner's family. Because of the man's momentary kindness, the goose changed from a "food" that disappeared after eating it into a "pet" that could accompany it. It can be seen that as long as one's mind changes, a beautiful good relationship can be forged. As a result, the seemingly ferocious but tame little crocodile dog and parrot tiger in the movie gradually became friends of the Crewe family. "Crazy Primitives" is the story of the Crewe family from primitive to civilization. The so-called civilization is not only the evolution of life, but also the growing understanding and tolerance among family members. I like the ubiquitous sense of humour in the movie, which makes people feel relaxed without forgetting to think. Although it is a comedy, it is still poked into tears. It can bring warm healing to friends who have suffered from natural disasters and hardships. There are inevitable setbacks in life, loss is the only way in life, but we still can only move forward and cannot go back. We cannot choose our destiny. The only choice is to follow the light. Even if we walk to the edge of the cliff, the fear of falling will be transformed into flying wings due to the light that follows us like a shadow.
