However, foreigners should not understand Buddhism. I think, did the author of the script get the inspiration from the famous song "Auguries of Innocence"?
To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower.
The original was written by a famous American children's literature writer in the 1950s, satirizing the prevailing McCarthyism at the time.
And in the country we live in today, even with such a lighthearted and funny cartoon, it's easy to think of so-called political metaphors again. So some people say that this is a story about dictatorship and democracy, about human rights, about the collective unconscious, about the voices of vulnerable groups...
I believe that there are many deep things that can be unearthed, but my first reaction is, this is first and foremost A story about imagination.
Initially, we were happy to imagine and believe everything. Then we learned to doubt and deny. Our brains are constrained by rules and regulations, and they are becoming more and more distinct. We are taught not to cross the line and step on the line. Everyone seemed to be safe, securely restrained.
However, are these rules that you have been taught to interpret the world really correct all the time?
Sometimes, can you get out of it all, go back to the beginning, try to imagine again, imagine without any scruples?
Most importantly, don't be afraid, but trust your imagination?
Hug your imagination.
Don't forget, it's such a beautiful thing.
So, I'd rather believe it's just a lovely lighthearted and humorous story about the original imagination.
Because it was so fun from start to finish. Even the villains are bluffing and clumsy and funny, not evil at all, just mischief at best.
And that cute and funny elephant.
It's comfortable and happy most of the time. It's just that in that beautiful and endless alfalfa field, it was persistent and desperate to find that flower, no, when it was dust, it was really sad.
Fortunately, it was finally found.
It keeps insisting, a person is a person, no matter how small it is.
I love this film.
