I may like this simple and crude courage

Recently I watched "The Form of the Family" on station B and found that everyone in the barrage was surprisingly mean to the characters in the play. The protagonist will always have a halo, appearance is the standard for measuring everything, those who do wrong are scumbags, and those who are not trusted no longer deserve to be trusted.

Later, when I watched "House of Sin", I found that it was the same. She was obviously a girl with principles, courage, and hard work. She was suppressed and degraded by the so-called social rules and eventually destroyed herself. But there are still countless people who are accusing the girl of not being flexible, not knowing the rules of the game, and being "self-inflicted and unable to live".

It seems that we have already decided that we are living in a hierarchical prison cell, that any effort is worthless, any courage is futile, as long as we make a wrong step, everyone will tell you, and there will never be a chance to turn back. Therefore, we can only erect a thick inner wall, find our own position, and then live carefully without thinking of crossing the line.

A bit boring, but stable life.

Then I saw this "Zootopia".

The movie I watched, adults and children alike. Before the opening, the children were the most noisy. After the film started, the children's voices became quieter. The adults who laughed the happiest in the whole movie theater were adults.

Yes, an adult. Because in the eyes of children, reality is a huge fairy tale world, so they just read the story with peace of mind, a good rabbit, a good fox, and finally joined forces to eliminate the big devil, and live happily in the zoo. But adults can always see more and always find more.

If Xing Ye's "Mermaid" tells a story of pure love from an adult's point of view; then "Crazy Zoo" tells the struggle history of adults in a child's way. Stupid rabbits, cunning foxes, energetic newcomers, and old fritters who see through all the rules, this combination is not new in any Hollywood story - "Zootopia" is just to put these old souls back to the audience. Create a new dream.

More importantly, this movie is full of all kinds of cute things, and Disney has exerted its best "cute" power to stir people's desire for "cute". They've always succeeded in doing this, as did the big-eyed bunny in "Super Marines" and "Zootopia".

That "zoo city" is so similar to the city we live in that if you have the heart, you can even put yourself in the right seat. In this city, there is tolerance and joy, and there is unspeakable discrimination and contradiction. Everyone can come here to find a dream, but not everyone can find it. And this city can finally change every individual, but some people are smooth, some people go astray, and some people have the courage not to hit the south wall and not give up, and have been fighting.

The only difference is that it is only in the animation that we are convinced that the fool who is driven by courage and constantly challenged will finally meet the victory with a full head. Only in stories that seem to be shown to children, urban talents are willing to reveal a little bit of their idealism and are willing to believe in the existence of such a utopia.

Life is too hard. If we believe in the possibility of "try everything", we must accept the changes that will occur behind it. Beauty is too fragile, and in many cases, it requires too much strength to support. We may be successful, but most of the time, we'll screw things up, lose face, or lose ourselves completely, and become one-of-a-kind, every "urbanian."

So in reality, there are already many people who don't believe in this beauty at all.

I saw in "The Title of This Book Can't Describe the Content of This Book", the author said that he did not believe in Santa Claus, not because he had not seen it, but because he did not meet anyone who believed in it. Then he asked his daughter if she believed in Santa Claus, if she believed in the Easter Bunny, and his daughter said she believed it—

she said, I'm still young, so I believe in everything. But there are some things that not only children should believe.

That makes life a little more interesting, right?

    The younger sister thought that the old lady was bent for a lifetime and was broken straight by an animated fox. I love rabbits too! It’s really a success for Disney to use female lead roles. Disney’s education for men and women is great. The gay leopard at the front desk of the police station is so cute!

    Why do everyone like sloths! The cutest is the gay leopard front desk!

Zootopia quotes

  • Judy Hopps: [Judy rings Manchas's doorbell] Mr. Manchas? Judy Hopps, ZPD. We just want to know what happened to Emmitt Otterton.

    Mr. Manchas: [Manchas slightly opens his door] You... should be asking... what happened to me.

    Nick Wilde: Whoa! Uh, a teensy otter did... that?

    Judy Hopps: [whispers] What happened?

    Mr. Manchas: He... was an animal!

    Mr. Manchas: [flashback to Manchas's limo] Down... on all fours... he was a savage!

    Mr. Manchas: [Emmitt growls and attacks Manchas inside the limo; Manchas escapes the limo, gasping in fear; the flashback ends] There was no warning, he just kept yelling about the Night Howlers. Over and over, the Night Howlers!

    Nick Wilde: So... you know... about the Night Howlers, too? Good, good, good. Because the Night Howlers are exactly what we are here to talk about. Right?

    Judy Hopps: Yup. So, uh... so you just open the door... and tell us what you know... and we will tell you what we know... okay?

    Mr. Manchas: Okay.

    [Manchas closes his door]

    Judy Hopps: [to Nick] Clever fox.

    Judy Hopps: [Manchas re-opens his door, making struggling groans; Judy and Nick enter his apartment] Mr. Manchas?

    Nick Wilde: Buddy?

    Judy Hopps: Are you... okay?

    [Manchas is prowling about his apartment on all four paws, growling]

    Judy Hopps: Run, run!

  • Jerry Jumbeaux Jr.: Listen, I don't know what you're doing skulking around during daylight hours, but I don't want any trouble in here, so hit the road.

    Nick Wilde: I'm not looking for any trouble either, sir. I simply want to buy a Jumbo Pop... for my little boy. You want the red or the blue, pal?

    [Finnick points at the red Jumbo Pop]

    Judy Hopps: Aw, I'm such a...

    Jerry Jumbeaux Jr.: Oh come on, kid. Back up. Listen buddy, what, there aren't any fox ice cream joints in your part of town?

    Nick Wilde: Uh, no no, there are, there are. It's just, my boy, this goofy little stinker, he loves all things elephant, wants to be one when he grows up.

    [Finnick squeaks]

    Nick Wilde: Is that adorable?

    Judy Hopps: Oh.

    Nick Wilde: Who the heck am I to crush his little dreams, huh, right?

    Jerry Jumbeaux Jr.: Look, you probably can't read, fox, but the sign says "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone." So beat it!

    Elephant patron: You're holding up the line.

    [Finnick cries and sniffles]

    Judy Hopps: Hello? Excuse me.

    Jerry Jumbeaux Jr.: Hey, you're gonna have to wait your turn like everyone else, meter maid.

    Judy Hopps: Actually, I'm an officer. Just had a quick question: Are your customers aware they're getting snot and mucus with their cookies and cream?

    [Two elephants spit out the ice cream they were just eating]

    Jerry Jumbeaux Jr.: What are you talking about?

    Judy Hopps: Well, I don't want to cause you any trouble, but I believe scooping ice cream with an ungloved trunk is a Class 3 health code violation... which is kind of a big deal, heh.

    [the other employee drops the scoop of ice cream]

    Judy Hopps: Of course, I could let you off with a warning, if you were to glove those trunks, and, I don't know... finish selling this nice dad and his son a... what was it?

    Nick Wilde: A Jumbo Pop, please.

    Judy Hopps: A Jumbo Pop.

    [Finnick squeaks with relief]

    Jerry Jumbeaux Jr.: [sighs with a groan] $15.

    Nick Wilde: Thank you so much, thank you. Oh no, are you kidding me? I don't have my wallet, heh heh. I'd lose my head if it weren't attached to my neck.

    Finnick: That's the truth.

    Nick Wilde: Oh boy, I'm sorry, pal, got to be about the worst birthday ever. Please don't be mad at me. Thanks anyway.

    Judy Hopps: [Judy puts money on the counter, buying a Jumbo Pop for Nick and Finnick] Keep the change.
