Children and Adults - The Lost Beauty
In fact, there are not many direct exchanges between the two, but the only two conversations are very moving. The first time was when Aidan tried to explain to Raul why he wanted to kill Sanga and Kumar. He analyzed the danger of tigers from an adult's perspective, but Raul used the naivety of a child to believe that his tigers would not hurt people. Man, in the end it was not so much Aidan who persuaded Raul as he persuaded himself that he believed it was his duty to protect humanity from these two tigers, and he believed that although his heart was in love with Raul Sanga loves his Kumar as much, but can't be as risky as Raul to believe that they can learn to hunt in the jungle without hurting people, because that's just his own good wishes and not a cruel reality.
The second exchange is at the end of the film, when Aidan witnessed Sanga and Kumar inconceivably jumping over the fire wall set by humans, his previous firm idea was shaken, and when he faced the naughty and gluttonous Kumar helpless opened the empty candy box, and two "forgive me" made people cry. So he threw away the rifle in advance, followed his inner hope and watched the two brothers return to their jungle with Raul. He told Raul that it was a huge adventure, but it was worth it. The film also misses the opportunity to give us a happy ending like a fairy tale. The two brothers reunite with their mother and live a peaceful jungle life away from the hustle and bustle of the world.
If you question that this kind of story arrangement is too good and out of touch with reality, do you realize when you stopped believing in fairy tales? There is a saying that is very good: "When you know that a carat diamond is worth more than a glass ball, you have grown up sadly." After growing up, we have harvested maturity, but lost a little bit of innocence and beauty. . The change in Aidan's attitude in the film is gratifying, but ask yourself, if we were Aidan, would we make the same choice as him?
Animals and Humans - Protection and Inclusion
Although it is a film shot by a real animal, "Tiger Brother Tiger Brother" is actually more like a fairy tale, and it also has more subjective colors. When conceiving the story of the film, director Arnold has always believed that long-term memory does exist in the animal brain. This is the core of the film's story. But human understanding of wild animals is not so thorough. As someone commented on IMDB, if you believe that humans treat animals so kindly, then the film is very moving; on the contrary, if you don't believe it, then the film is really boring.
The topic of how humans and animals, especially wild animals get along, has always been controversial. I believe that for most people, although they would resist the bloody killing, they would not be as extreme as animal protectionists, but it is undeniable. Yes, the more civilized a human society is, the more tolerant it will be towards aliens. As the spirit of all things, human beings should not only enjoy the scenery of the ruler of the earth, but also shoulder the responsibility of the big parents of the earth. Human beings should treat animals like adults treat children, with proper respect and generosity. tolerance. We can never truly enter the world of animals, just as we can never find the innocence when we grow up. If we believe that the world of children is clean and pure, then we have even more reason to believe that the world of animals is more So, because relative to the overly complex adult world, they appear so simple.
Sanga bit a puppy as an accident during play, like a child accidentally breaking a vase, two brothers broke into a human bathroom because of fun, and even hijacked a bus just to steal sausages, as Raul said Yes, if they did intentionally hurt people, they would have been hurt long ago. Facing the same life, do we think too much about ourselves and ignore them? Facing the same earth, do we take up too much space that belongs to them? In the face of unsolvable knots, should we learn from their tolerance, sometimes they forget hatred just because of the friendliness of a piece of candy. .
Ancient civilization and modern society - awe and respect
Director Jean-Jacques Arnaud said: "Tiger Brothers and Tiger Brothers contains three things that I am most obsessed with: the animal world, the mysterious religious culture and European colonies". The colonial culture of Westerners always makes us both envious and resentful. At first, the hunter Aidan in the film treats those ancient stone statues like his prey, just as a way to make money, without emotion. Later, the change of attitude can be regarded as It is a kind of value that the director wants to reflect in the film. Whether he is hypocritical or morally hypocritical, it must be admitted that this is a symbol of civilization after all. In addition to mocking their shameless robbery behavior and hypocritical moral reflection, we can also seriously think about it, since the impact of modern society on ancient civilization is inevitable, what is the correct way to get along?
Maybe it should be like getting along with adults and children, respect and tolerance. Any ancient civilization with cultural value must also have many inappropriateness. In modern society, obeying certain religious ceremonies or traditions is actually just to show respect, the famous political philosopher Slavoj Zizek (Slavoj Zizek) Said: "'Culture' has become the common name for all those things that we don't really believe in but still practice". There is nothing wrong with the beautiful stone statues abandoned in the jungle except that it is a pity, but what if it is a backward way of life? Are they left to fend for themselves? The colonial king in the film is embarrassed when faced with the anger and helplessness of the colonists. If he wants to regain his glory through the bloody beast fighting ceremony, he can't help but feel his innocence. Once the peace of the ancient civilization is broken, it is destined to never return. The original appearance. From the perspective of Westerners, of course, they have reason to reflect hypocritically, because they are strong, and respect and tolerance are all things they need to think about; but from the perspective of the colonized, learning like children is what they really are. what needs to be done.
Aidan's two "forgive me" sentences are indeed sincere and moving, but if an apology is useful, why do you want to grow up?
