It is definitely a wonderful novel. Although it reflects the story of the tenacious Chinese soldiers on the grasslands of Inner Mongolia in the 1940s fighting against the Japanese invaders in China, the protagonist of the novel is a handsome and elegant man. The military horse "flying".
It was the author's superb writing style that made me fascinated by Feifei, and moved to tears by its loyal and unyielding heroic conduct. That was a turning point in my new understanding of horses, and it was the first time in my life that I experienced an education and enlightenment about freedom.
Eighteen years later, I was fortunate enough to "read" another touching work about horses again, but this time the scene of the story moved from the endless Mongolian grasslands to the vast western United States, but like "White Horse", "SPIRIT" It is also based on a legendary story derived from reality. Although the protagonist has different characteristics from Feifei's coat color, he also has the same wild nature, unrestrained passion and free spirit similar to Feifei's blood. This is the protagonist of "SPIRIT"-a free wild horse elf.
"SPIRIT" is an animated film without much human language, filmed in 2002 by the famous American "DreamWorks". Regardless of the plot, production, editing, music and many other film elements, it can be called a model in the history of animation film.
As a producer, Jeffrey Katzenberg, one of the "DreamWorks" Big Three who created countless movie wonders in human history, stubbornly believes that no matter how mature technology is, the mouse will never replace human hands and their hands. pencil. Adhering to this creative concept, he hired the famous actor Matt Damon as the narration and voiceover of the film, and also invited the gold medal music producer Hans Kimmer and the famous singer Brian Adams to compose the soundtrack for the film. , And the joining of the famous director Jeffrey Katzenberg made the whole film bring infinite reverie to the audience in terms of visual and auditory sense, but also experienced a strong soul shock.
The protagonist of the film is a pony called SPIRIT. The prototype is taken from a legendary story spread in the United States during the western pioneering era that bravely unites different kinds of animals to create a peaceful living space with mankind. Its name symbolizes the soul who yearns for freedom and does not give in to everything. Therefore, what this film shows to the audience is not only the magnificent mountains and rivers of the western United States, but also the thrilling and tortuous plot content, as well as the ubiquitous wit, freedom, indomitability and perseverance.
Like "White Horse", "SPIRIT" is a moving work that interprets the spirit of freedom through Malays. Although their creative cultural backgrounds are different, they have achieved the same goal in different ways to praise a wild, unyielding, and free spirit. In fact, the pursuit, possession and enjoyment of freedom is not only an animal possessed, but also a kind of power that humans possess and pass through the world. This is the conclusion that everyone should draw from the two works of "SPIRIT" and "White Horse". But then there was a question that puzzled people: Why did the Japanese invaders and the white pioneers unwilling to give Feifei and SPIRIT freedom at first, but they were both conquered by the two horses in the end? Is force to ensure freedom? Or is it powerful to trample on freedom?
In "White Horse", Feifei was unfortunately captured to save his master. The leader of the Japanese cavalry regiment, who loves horses, used both hard and soft on him. In order to tame Feifei, he was kicked into serious injuries but failed to conquer Feifei. In the end, he had to reluctantly release him.
In "SPIRIT", SPIRIT fell into the hands to save the horses. The colonel of the cavalry regiment cut it out of water and food for three days in an attempt to defeat it mentally, but in the end he failed to tame SPIRIT. Instead, SPIRIT longed for freedom and fullness. Admired and subdued by the bloody unyielding spirit.
Compared with Feifei, SPIRIT is lucky because it has regained a new life and also has love: Compared with SPIRIT, Feifei is even more fortunate, because it also regains freedom and has an unconquerable arrogance to win. The respect of the enemy.
Recalling these two free spirits, we who the Creator loves should really keep in mind: there is a spirit whose power is so great that even a powerful force has to be subdued for it, this spirit is called freedom.
