'Kung Fu Panda 2': American-style Chinese victory

Is it true that after becoming a parent, when you see a family scene, you will involuntarily substitute it? The cinema on Friday night was full of children. I personally saw a tall father next to him quietly wiping his tears when he saw A Bao's mother abandoning A Bao, and of course I was also wiping away his tears at the same time. "Kung Fu Panda 2" is an emotional film, and this is the only place it surpasses.

I have always viewed the Kung Fu Panda series as a Chinese cartoon—before China couldn't make such a good cartoon, or, in other words, after China couldn't make such a good cartoon. No contemporary Chinese cartoon can capture the Chinese elements of Zhao Bandi's satire so beautifully - this is a more Chinese film than China. The ancient pines on the cliffs of Heping Valley, similar to Zhang Wuji's epiphany in "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" or The Legend of Dragon Saber, the red lanterns of Qingcheng Mountain and the towering pagodas, I can only dream about China in Hollywood cartoons, and this dream's The content is what those whom we mock take and give back to us.

But it's not all Chinese. Po's grass-roots character is obviously a perfect portrayal of the American "fool" spirit. A fool is a peacock who can defeat elitism - haha, among animals, who can better represent the elite than the noble and glamorous peacock? The stupid and stupid panda subverts the noble image of the hero. Even the pretentious shouting on the high cornices and corners has become the funniest burden in the film, not to mention the American-style humorous bickering in the film. The big family who dragged their sons and daughters to watch the movie laughed and laughed. This is the victory of Panda Bao, and it is also an American victory.
