In front of the city hall, even the little girl clamored to burn the zombies, set the doll she was holding on fire and threw it into the building. Why, does a child of this age know what a zombie is, besides knowing that zombies eat brains through cartoons? The teacher who put on the green mask later evaded when he made a transcript with the police and said that he was too involved in the play at that time. There is a passage in "The Crowd" that explains it quite profoundly: Once a person becomes a member of the group, what he does will no longer be what he does. Taking responsibility, everyone will expose their unconstrained side. What the group pursues and believes in is never truth and reason, but blind obedience, cruelty, paranoia and fanaticism, and only know simple and extreme feelings. So, one man even led the crowd clamoring to burn Norman.
Since ancient times, people have always been in awe of what they do not understand, thunder and rain in ancient times, gods and devils. And once these revered existences threaten or potentially threaten human beings themselves, reverence will turn into fear and destruction. It used to be a ghost, a fox demon, and a witch, but now it is a dissident, a bird in the early stage, and the rafter that is quickly eliminated. Movies are always just movies, and reality is much crueler. Norman finally got everyone's support, dispelled the hatred of witches, and the whole family lived happily together. And many more Normans are still left alone in the archives, or burned to death in front of City Hall. The happy ending may be happy, but it's really a mess for this movie.
Maybe some people and some things recently, it is really impossible to view such an animated film defined as suitable for all ages from the perspective of comedy. But I hope, eventually, Norman will actually be able to sit in front of the TV with his family and watch zombie stories.
