If we stand in the perspective of natural evolution, then all this happens. However, when the world outside the dust—actually the real world—the forest animal inhabitants headed by kangaroos, citing Horton’s demagogic remarks that “there is life in the dust”, especially infringing on the innocent hearts of children, are right. Things become paradoxical and allegorical when they rise up to attack and try to destroy the dust on alfalfa that is the source of evil. We can interpret many meanings from Horton's confrontation with other animals in the forest as the guardian of the dust (that is, the residents of Huhu Town). Nowhere is this more evident than in the film's final conclusion: All things have their dignity, no matter how small. From this we can extend: respect for every life, respect for every creature on the earth, respect for everyone... Honestly, it is a perfect fit for the environmental protection appeal that is currently in a fashion boom.
In addition - and this is the main reason why I continue to write down - the concept of "life lives in the dust" is beyond the cognition and concept of most people, how to convince the public of this unreasonable thing. This is actually a deep game. Holden has one enemy to a hundred, and a few to many. Although the two sides reconciled in the end, Horton and the forest partners turned enemies into friends, but if the residents of Huhu Town cannot go all out to let people outside the "world" hear the voice of "We are here!" Doomed. Here, letting others hear your own voice is the key to solving the problem. Conversely, what if others can't see their efforts and can't hear their cries?
Well, after telling an animated story of an anthropomorphic, virtual world, let's step into the real and sensitive mundane world of human beings to get answers.
This "John Q" (translated as "Looming") movie starring Denzel Washington tells the story of John Q, a dedicated and hardworking underclass American worker who lives in poverty and cannot afford the expensive heart transplant of his son Michael, when his insurance lapses. , hopeless to borrow money, sell property and fall into despair without the help of the hospital and society, and finally can only be solved by extreme means of violence - hijacking the hospital, kidnapping hostages, or even hoping to commit suicide, using one's own heart to save the son. The story of getting rescued. Although the plot of the film is old-fashioned, it boldly and surprisingly reveals the dark side of the social system and touches the depths of human nature. We are all indignant to see how John Q went from being a well-ordered, gentle and prudent man to be forced into a kidnapper to a prisoner. Of course, the ending is that Michael is rescued, John Q is given a light sentence, and the ending is perfect.
The experiences of John Q and Huhuzhen are so similar. Although the cry of "We are here!" did not come out of John Q's mouth, it was evident that it had been revealed to the secular world through his actions. Hegel said that existence is rational. When a certain existence is ignored or buried by the injustice branded by power and money, I think violence has become the only solution and way for it to show its existence. Because anyone needs the world to know that he exists.
After all, a movie is a movie. When any kind-hearted person is rewarded in a movie, we always end a movie viewing and psychological journey with a gratified mood. The real world is much more complicated, especially when one day we ourselves participate in a scene similar to the plot of a movie - do you understand why migrant workers are always on the bridge, when they can't get their wages back? Appear on the pendant? Why are the haggard petitioners sitting at the gate of the provincial government for so long? They need the world to hear their voices, no matter what. I think, to a certain extent, this is reasonable.
