Human-animal relationship

It seems that Disney really attaches great importance to the relationship between animals and people. The fire of "Zootopia" has not yet subsided, and it immediately poured such oil down, and there are endless surprises, I think, that is them Presenting to us the harmonious world in their hearts.

This "Fantasy Forest" has changed a too mediocre title, and the plot is indeed a little younger. Fortunately, the kung fu in this animation is really admirable, the animals are lifelike, the fur and those anthropomorphic expressions, The characteristics of those animals themselves are fully expressed, but it would be better if there were more animals. Of course, in order to present a beautiful world, this cartoon has many logical limitations, but today I want to discuss the relationship between humans and animals.

The world is inherently a contradiction: the precious thing about animals is that each species has its own characteristics, like in the movie, black panthers are good at climbing trees and mountains, bears are afraid of heights and bulky, but black panthers are helpless when crossing the river. , the bear jumped into it without thinking and carried the black panther over, and as a high-level animal, even if there are no sharp claws or strong muscles, but there is a wisdom that surpasses them. Imagine how well the forest and the whole world would be managed if humans and animals cooperated seamlessly - however, as I mentioned above [paradox] - assuming that humans are really integrated into the forest, and animals become as intimate as each other. Like "Zootopia", in a sense, they assimilated each other - or the cheetahs began to jump into the rapids to swim, the bears began to climb trees and mountains easily, etc., the so-called [characteristics] gradually disappeared. And it is worth mentioning that carnivores cannot develop healthily if they only rely on vegetarian food to maintain their body functions, so should they eat or not eat for their friends? Imagine that a black panther and a grizzly bear cooperate to kill antelope, and then eat each other in slow motion. From their point of view, it may be a kind of beauty, but if you change your position, what does the mother antelope think? Even if the leopard and the bear finally pointed out a clear path to the antelopes and said that there is a place with abundant water and grass for you to live, will they go? Dare they go? This is not called coexistence, it should be called mutual destruction in a sense.

Harmony between humans and animals has long been a slogan, not just Disney, but the whole world is emphasizing this, I don’t want to repeat a bunch of laws around the world not to hunt animals, anyway, you said there is no such thing now I don't believe hunters exist. So, in our human world, the so-called "harmonious coexistence of humans and animals" is actually non-interference, right? However, such a central idea is not clearly shown in this movie. On the contrary, the ending of exterminating the tiger in the end feels a bit wrong. Usually in movies, it is correct to defeat the big boss at the end and live happily, but here you are not as simple as killing the character of Sheri Khan, but killing a tiger, the only tiger that has ever appeared! Besides, is it really good to use violence to suppress violence? It killed the wolf king, and then you got your revenge. For a movie that has a lot to do with [environmental protection] and [harmonious coexistence], isn't this really inappropriate?

Putting everything aside, a heavy and lazy grizzly bear and a cautious and serious black panther want to get along well with a good child whom she cherishes, and the wolf mother treats him like her own without prejudice, especially when she sees peace After Shi, everyone gathered to drink water, which is really touching. This is the charm that Disney has given to the world. This is the dream that animation has given us but it is impossible to achieve in reality. Everyone will like it when they see it. Yes, we were very happy to see it, that's pretty awesome, isn't it?

Maybe what I said is really naive, but I just like all kinds of animals, and I just really want people and animals to get along well and not kill each other. There is really no practical way to do this except to continue to emphasize the legal protection of animals. But I still believe in the future, I believe the future will be good, I believe that there will be a very good and appropriate way of getting along with wild animals in the future, at least we have to hope and explore hard, um, it will be good of.
