Although the story is old-fashioned and has a personal heroism, it still does not hinder its warmth and positive energy. The protagonist, Ferdinand, is a sturdy, kind-hearted bull. As a bull, he was told that his mission is to fight constantly and finally win the bullfighter; however, Ferdinand has no heart to fight, and only likes flowers and small animals. In order to escape the battle and live the life he wanted, Ferdinand secretly escaped from the Bull House, was sent back by accident, and then ran away with all the cattle in the Bull House, encouraging everyone to pursue a new life. The movie is better called "Bull's Escape" instead of "The Adventures of the Bull".
The whole film uses warm dialogues to show the protagonist's persistence in self-pursuit, and vivid pictures to express the protagonist's persistence in breaking stereotypes. Facing the ridicule of other bulls, he still chose to like flowers and plants, and continued to protect other small animals; in the face of the bullfighter's provocation, he silently sat down and did not fight back, adhering to the principle of not harming people. What Ferdinand did in the film was completely different from the bull in the stereotype, but it was even more beautiful and precious, which made people feel warm unconsciously after watching the film. In today's society, there has never been a shortage of people who strive to live according to stereotypes, and it is so precious to be able to truly be themselves. Although some streaming movies often promote the concept of being yourself, for example, in order to free yourself after breaking up, eat mango to self-mutilate, euphemistically saying goodbye to the past; It's called finding true love. Compared with the "being yourself" that these films forcefully produce, the three views of this cartoon are obviously much milder. Ferdinand adhered to the principle of truth, goodness and beauty from beginning to end, never harming any flowers, plants and small animals, and sacrificed his life to rescue other bulls who bullied him at critical times. While achieving others, he realized his self-worth. It can be seen that to truly be yourself, you must always have the unremitting pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty, otherwise it will just be an unbridled moan.
The scene that touched me the most in the whole film was facing the bullfighter's sword. Fernand chose to sit silently without fighting back, waiting for the judgment of fate. At this time, the whole bullring sounded "don't hurt him", and finally the bullfighter put down He took the sword, turned and left, and then Fernand and his friends galloped among the flowers. I was not moved by the protagonist's willingness to sacrifice his life to be himself, but by the audience's call to "don't hurt him". It is admirable that a person can pursue oneself; but a society will raise its arms and shout for the realization of an individual's self-pursuit, which is even more touching. If life is a dream, then those who work hard to create their own dreams are brave people; and a society that allows everyone to have colorful and different dreams is a warm society. In contrast to the reality, the news of the major blind date corners has been buzzing every once in a while. Most of the headlines are dazzling and the content is empty, such as: "The threshold for blind date is high, doctors only dare to say that they are masters", "Dating corners in major cities despise the chain" and so on. I don’t want to talk too much about blind dates, so as not to become an idyllic feminist. I just think that if one day marriage is no longer an obligation, but only the choice of each individual’s free will, such a society may be more warm and tolerant.
Being able to be yourself, the society can also accommodate each individual to be yourself, how precious!
