CG kneels, YY is innocent?

Watching it with my family, I was initially surprised by the CG effect. At first, I really wondered if this was a real shot. It's almost like a BBC-style pseudo-documentary.

However, the plot was not as expected. Not only that, but I don't know if it's because I've been more sensitive to these things lately, or because I tend to think darkly, I've also seen more things that make me feel uncomfortable.

When I was watching, my heart froze, and what I thought in my heart was: Are you not even willing to leave this last place for animals?



In the virgin forest, all kinds of animals work together to formulate the same rules of mutual benefit as human beings. Neither carnivores nor herbivores can harm each other at will. They have the president and have the general rules. At the same time, they have - human nature .


What I don't like is this "human nature". It's not that we feel humiliated, but that everything has rules, but we humiliate them. Their rule is that the weak eat the strong, their rule is that they often eat the children who are left behind, their rule is that the winner lives and the loser dies, and their rule is to sacrifice the weak. Rules are rules, people have rules for people, animals have rules for animals. There is only suitable or not, not right or wrong.

I felt very dark again, and there was always a voice in my heart saying that the little boy should have died a long time ago or that the story would not be like this. From the beginning of the boy can talk to animals, it can be known that the boy will not return to human society.


In my opinion, this is more like a grand obsession of human beings with the last dignity of nature. Behold, even the most natural virgin forest, a little boy who was accidentally abandoned, can "conquer" the whole forest with human wisdom without any other human help, even the forest is arranged to "conquer" the whole forest. The "Creator" character's elephant can be ridden by him at the end. In the face of giant baboons, he has black panthers and sloth bears to save his life; in the face of brutal tigers, he can fight "like a human"; in the face of burnt forests, all kinds of animals still stand by his side. A child in his early teens, long before he could figure out all kinds of tools like vines - maybe possible, but I always think that not all human beings are capable of creating in complete independence. Yes, in fact, there are often a few people in the human group who have the ability to create, and the rest have the ability to learn and inherit. The sufficient and necessary condition for the success of the entire human group is actually the ability to accumulate. Powerful, not one person has the ability to create everything, one person can turn the whole race.




Maybe I'm thinking too much.
