Save the earth? Only humans need to be saved

It was broadcast by the teacher in Marx's class to explain the greed of capitalism. The whole film is bright in color, the musical runs throughout, and there are many cute spots, suitable for the whole family to watch.
Although many people say that environmental protection themes are bad, and the protagonist hasn't grown up or changed, and Lao Leisi did not punish him, but I still think this film is very good. It does reflect the greed of the capitalists. The little boy swimming in Jiaojiao Town, turning green, actually reflects water pollution, and the people in the town don't care about the whereabouts of garbage. These details are very real. Especially in the song "How bad can i be", for capitalists, the heavier the pollution, the better the air is sold, so they have more motivation to expand production. But what if you look at it from the essence? What is the ultimate goal for capitalists to master so much capital? Is it just for money, isn't it? better life? right? If it is the former, then capitalists should obtain resources in a controlled manner and should not cause the final situation. In the latter case, capitalists only need to ensure that people maintain their basic livelihoods. They deprive the people of their senses, wisdom, and freedom, so as to achieve the purpose of manipulating the people. This is terrible.
Teacher Marx believes that "private ownership" is the root of the evils of the capitalist system, but the ownership of goods is the nature of human beings, which is also the basis for mobilizing the enthusiasm of human production. If this is overthrown, I cannot imagine what the future society will look like. , It may be that I am too shallow and my thinking is too limited.
In short, I still like this film. The earth never needs to be saved, only human beings need to be saved.

The Lorax quotes

  • Once-ler: [after being pulled from the river and revived by the Lorax] Now, I have a big day tomorrow, so I am going to get some sleep.

    Once-ler: Once I find my bed.

  • Audrey: [Referring to her mural] Those are trees. Real ones. They used to grow all around here. And people said that the touch of their tufts was softer than anything, even silk. And they smelled like butterfly milk.
