To survive in the forest, Mowgli needs the protection of a tribe; facing the pursuit of Sheli Khan, Mowgli needs the protection of a more powerful group. I was very impressed with the ethnic group in this film. The law of the forest says this: This is the law of the jungle,As old and as true as the sky.And the wolf that keeps it may prosper,But the wolf that breaks it will die.Like the creeper that girdles the tree trunk , The law runneth over and back. For the strength of the pack is the wolf, And the strength of the wolf is the pack. Isn't it that unity is strength? A narrow understanding is the unity of various ethnic groups, isn't it the unity of all living things in a broad sense? The wolf tribe protects Mowgli, and King Louis protects its descendants. This is a small group; because Sheli Khan is the strongest in the forest, it wants to protect the entire forest, which is a large group. And when Shere Khan threatened Mowgli's life, the wolves chose to send him to the protection of the human race. Doesn't this mean that the human race is a powerful group? In the larger world, shouldn't human beings take on a greater responsibility to protect all other creatures? This is the largest group.
