The only thing that makes me think about it is the phenomenon of cross-cultural communication reflected by the closeness, distance, joy and sorrow between humans and orangutans.
Communication theory has a theory that people adopt "selective attention, selective reception, and selective memory" to various information based on their own preferences, needs, endowments and other characteristics.
As the film shows, Caesar, the leader of the orangutan kingdom, grew up in the human world. However, his companion Koba, whether it is out of selfish intention to usurp power or sincerely act for the "gorilla", only sees the cunning and cruel side of human beings.
The formation of stereotypes is too complicated to describe, especially for cross-ethnic and cross-cultural communication. The princess in Hayao Miyazaki's animated film "Nausicaa" can walk freely between humans and Zerg; Malcolm in "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is also a person who can communicate with orangutans smoothly.
If you pay a little attention, you can find that a key factor in cross-cultural communication and dissemination is nothing more than love. This is true between people and between different species.
However, in many cases, a concept of "only my good or bad, regardless of your life or death" prevails in all areas of social life. Unscrupulous merchants can use rat meat instead of mutton, classmates and friends will let you "lay guns" intentionally or unintentionally, and motor vehicles on the same road can't wait to run over bicycles and pedestrians, just for quick money, "fast progress" and "opening". be quick".
Even if you have the heart of "keep yourself well and don't offend others", it is difficult to "keep your ears out of the window" in an environment where "others offend me" all day long.
Perhaps, we need to find some ways to shift our minds, change our unbalanced focus, step into a normal spiritual journey, reactivate our love, and reawaken our care.
