The beginning is clear, I like it very much.
The main storyline of "Jungle Voyage" is simple and clear. In order to cure human diseases, the tenacious, intelligent and powerful scientist sister takes her exquisite gay brother to the depths of the jungle to find the antidote. Captain, a team of three on an adventure.
Britain at the time was rife with prejudice against women and sexual minorities. Women are prohibited from wearing trousers, and female intellectuals are excluded from scientific research, politics, and sports on the grounds that "women are inherently immature". As a doctor of botany, the heroine cannot speak on stage, so she has to write a manuscript and entrust her younger brother to speak on her behalf. And the heroine is going to resist patriarchal oppression to the end: she wears trousers, is a helmsman, practices boxing, and everyone who jokingly calls her "Miss Pants" is greeted by her one by one.
The captain was curious about the purpose of her journey, "Are you going to risk your life to save those you don't know?" And her eyes were full of determination, "You don't have to know to care."
Even so, at the last critical moment, she gave up the righteousness of saving all mankind and chose to save specific people-at this moment, she changed from a savior in a vacuum to a real human being with feelings and selfishness. And the Disney writers are certainly willing to give her the best of both worlds in a fairy tale.
The younger brother who goes on adventures with her is also very attractive! When he speaks in public, he will sweat his palms and wet the manuscript paper carefully written by his sister; he will carefully prepare his daily outfits, and remain elegant and beautiful even in the tropical rain forest; he will care about whether his skin is sunburned , apply the skin care products that Leopard Leopard also loves. In another way, he silently and forcefully demonstrates the absurdity of gender stereotypes and shatters prejudice.
The captain asked him why such a delicate European came to this desolate place with his sister. The younger brother said that when he was at home, he was always introduced to the right ladies, but I couldn't like them. My love was "somewhere else". Only his sister stood with him.
The captain looked at him deeply, raised the wine bottle with a smile, "Respect is elsewhere"! "
Although women's power and sexuality tolerance are common topics, every time I see it on the screen, my joy is not less than half of the first sight, from "forbid women to wear pants" to "boys can wear skirts", from fighting for equality From labor rights to minority groups gaining the power to participate in and deliberation, every progress of human civilization is the result of the joint struggle of human beings who have encountered discrimination and injustice. As a window that connects the world and conveys ideas, the movie illuminates not only the small movie hall under the screen, but also makes millions of people follow the light in the long night.
I sincerely wish there were more films like this, and more, even "elsewhere".
