Very interesting and very meaningful proposition. What labels can do to people. Ferdinand is so big that everyone at first glance at him would think he must be vicious and capable of fighting. But this is a cow whose heart is as gentle as butter and is very anti-violent. He is just big. When a stranger faces Ferdinand, he is never facing the real him, but facing his own presupposition. And an environment that judges people by their appearance is actually pushing people step by step to the stereotype that is preset because of their appearance. Ferdinand endured all the malice imposed on him by countless people, whether it was out of fear of his appearance of bluffing or because of his opposition to violence. People who only see him think he is a monster, and (part of) people who see him refuse violence think he is a coward. What moved and admired me was that Ferdinand stood up to this full of malice and kept silently insisting on his own nature. He was not forced to become a monster, and he never used force to deal with problems as people expected under persecution. In the bullfighting arena, people have designed a complete set of procedures that can push the gentlest and least aggressive bulls to desperation step by step, and they have to "bone the best" to meet the needs of bullfighters and spectators. Seeing Ferdinand being surrounded by steel guns and being devastated by the designed system of "best-forcing", step by step into the desperate situation, I really cried and became a fool. But even in the face of these, Ferdinand did not violate his principles, only dodge, never attack. The matador's desire for violence only made him embarrassed. In the end, the bullfighter, who was ashamed and furious, pointed his sword at Ferdinand's heart, and Ferdinand looked straight at him and sat down. This is true bravery. Rejecting violence is not cowardice, and true courage far surpasses violence. The last point, after seeing, I have been thinking about another animated film that I have watched before. The movie talked about a man who was forced to fight a bull but did not want to fight a bull. "The Adventures of the Bull" talked about a bull who was forced to fight a bull but did not want to fight a bull. Should we reflect on the bloody and cruel "entertainment" of bullfighting?
