Can the "red flower" of human wisdom and the forest really break the antagonistic relationship?

I saw this movie while watching TV at home during the 11th holiday. Overall, it is a fairy tale for children.

First of all, the special effects of the movie are breathtaking. Various animals such as tigers, leopards, wolves, bears and pythons are very realistic and expressive, just like the original creatures in the animal world.

The protagonist of the movie is also a little human boy, and the wolf and the leopard as his mentors teach him that the law of the jungle is to run faster, and the strong can survive. However, the tiger, the king of the jungle, chased and killed the little boy inexplicably. On the way of being chased and fleeing for his life, the little boy encountered a giant python in the jungle, and learned from the giant python why he was being chased and killed. The boy's father once injured the tiger with fire and died under the tiger's mouth. The offspring of the enemy, the tiger will naturally not let the little boy go. After that, a bear rescued the boy from the python's mouth. In the days of living with the bear, the boy gradually awakened his wisdom as a human and made tools instead of blindly using brute force.

In the final battle, the wolf and the leopard changed their minds, and the boy took out the enemy with fire.

A happy fairy tale ending.

However, fire is the representative of human wisdom. This red flower is in natural opposition to the jungle and animals. Human fire can destroy the entire forest. As strong men in the jungle, wolves and leopards can really accept little boys. Return to human nature? Tools, traps, and fire are all things that animals are instinctively afraid of. Can a jungle that has been hurt by human intelligence really accept a human like a real human?

    It was a fantasy journey, the special effects were great, the voice of the widow sister was very interesting, the big screen and the python looked at each other, it was really creepy.

    It's really just Disney's old-fashioned funny jokes, I didn't see how good it was, the storyline was hard, and the little boy's memorial lines were too blunt (original English), too bad. .

The Jungle Book quotes

  • King Louie: [singing] Now you might think it's ridiculous / That me, a gigantopithecus / Would ever dream, I'd like to team / With the likes of you, man-cub / But together, we'd have powers / All the jungle's treasures, ours / I got desire, you got the fire / But the dream I dream takes two / So, ooh, I wanna be like you / I wanna use that flame, just the same / You can do / Oh, how magnificus it would be / A gigantipithicus like me / Could learn to do like you humans do.

  • Mowgli: Bagheera!

    Bagheera: Mowgli? Stay there. We'll come around to you.

    Mowgli: Is it true?

    Bagheera: What?

    Mowgli: Is Akela dead?

    Bagheera: We were going to tell you.

    Mowgli: You knew! You both knew! And nobody did anything about it!

    Baloo: Kid, just hold on.

    Mowgli: Someone's gotta do something!
