This is a story about love.
If love can be classified, it is friendship love between friends; romantic love between lovers; family love between family members. Friends create friendship based on the same hobby; lovers generate love based on their own hormones; family members form an inseparable affection not only based on blood relationship, but also through long-term common life. So the question is, how did our little girl Miko fall in love with Super Pig Yuko? Where did their love come from?
First of all, they should not belong to lovers! The same sex between humans and animals, this scale is too large to discuss.
Secondly, they are friends, Boya, Ziqi. Animal protectors basically treat animals as friends. However, the purpose of human domestication of animals in history is obviously not because of loneliness. About 40,000 years ago, humans tamed cattle and sheep for food, dogs for hunting, and then horses, pigs, chickens and ducks... But now people say that we are all friends, and then open the cage and say to them, "You are free! ” And they will ask back, “After all these years, where did you want us to go?” They may find a straw that leads to freedom like Brooks in The Shawshank Redemption. Back to Meizi, the purpose of her finding Tamago was to bring it back to the mountain, but at the end of the film, when she finally fulfilled her wish, she didn't smile, she was still so dazed. This is the naked possessiveness of the child, when she is about to lose her beloved toy, she resists desperately, and when she has it, she is absent-minded. In a word, this love comes from the desire of the individual's heart, it is possession, control, and slavery, even if Yuzi and its children will become the last creatures of the same kind in the world. Of course, ALF is still worthy of recognition, at least they contributed the best scene in the film (in the end credits).
In the end, they are family members, using the phrase "we are family" that has been most admired in Western films in recent years. However, just as the West has turned to family education after two hundred years of liberal education. As a traditional Oriental, the family view is the most important, but in the past three decades, he has vigorously promoted the concept of free education in Europe and the United States. Our little protagonist, Miko, is a victim of this education. It can be seen from the film that Meizi should have lost both her parents and was raised by her grandfather since she was a child. Grandpa’s love for his granddaughter abounds: the purpose of adopting Yuzi is to prepare a dowry for Meizi; the full piggy bank shows that grandfather is frugal; the ginseng sent to the airport makes me a little sad. But Meizi responded with indifference, willfulness, and determination. Meizi finally threw out the little golden pig, and also threw out the bitterness, expectations and full love of her grandfather all her life. So it's hard for me to understand that someone who can't love his grandfather would love a pig. Those who do not love their relatives but love others are said to be contrary to virtue; those who do not respect their relatives but respect others are said to be contrary to reason.
To sum up, Meizi's love for Yuzi does not know where it came from, what it does, or what cloud it is!
PS: Let’s talk about the two Mirandos in the film. They are simply the standard models of the capitalist exploiting class in the textbooks of the 1970s and 1980s, not the CEO of a 21st century global enterprise.
