When watching this movie, I think everyone should like me to hope that Dumbo flies out of the bondage of the black-hearted capitalist and reunites with his mother. These are the resonance that the movie brings to us and also the irony of real life. The Dumbo in the film was labeled as a commodity before it was born, which is not only the ordeal of its own destiny but the sorrow of the whole group. In the movie, we see elephants in both circuses and playgrounds. They are either performing hard in tents or being kept in cages for everyone to watch. These are real phenomena in real life. And when the little flying elephants rose into the air, they not only obtained the hope of reuniting with their mother elephant, but also expressed their demands to break out of the bondage. In real life, the elephant doesn't have such big ears and can't fly in the air, but in reality, there are capitalists who are fascinated by interests, like Vandervelt (played by Michael Keaton) in the movie. In order to gain more money, Vandervelt dressed Dumbo as a clown, forced it to be on stage for the audience to laugh, and even killed its mother in order to appease it to concentrate on performing. His heart is driven by interests, and every smile on his face shows the hypocrisy of a black-hearted capitalist. Millie (Nicole Parker) and Joe (Finley Hobbins) are the most heartwarming characters in the entire film. They showed their simplicity when they learned that Dumbo could fly and thought that they could make money through Dumbo to buy back their mother, but when Dumbo lost its feathers and couldn't fly, Millie threw away the one left by her mother. The necklace shows the kindness of his heart. Throughout the film they are like descending angels who not only help the baby elephant but also change everyone. The Dumbo in the movie is more like an appeal, like the appeal of the entire elephant population, who also want to go back to the beautiful nature but don't have the ears of Dumbo. It can be said that the whole film is full of warmth but full of irony, the warmth is the pure and kind Millie and Joe, and the irony is the same black-hearted capitalist as Vandervelt.
