Dreams are flattened, is there only compromise left?

At first, it just felt like a story about how the expansion of human beings eroded the homes of animals step by step. I think it's just a similar theme to protect the homeland of animals. When I saw a fox who could also transform, I felt that I felt something that I couldn't grasp, and I couldn't comment. The feeling was also insinuating the changes in people's living conditions in the torrent of development.
Until I saw a film review, "It's okay to cry, to live, you must learn to live among humans like a civet cat." It felt like I knew something. Maybe each of us has a simple goal like the civet cats at the beginning. For this goal, we have adopted different methods and worked hard. Still can't ask for it in the end. We work hard and can’t get where we want to go, so we can only compromise, like a civet cat, hide ourselves, live in human society, and often need a can of “drink” because we are too tired , because of being too tired and getting dark circles under the eyes. The civet cats who will become human carry the dreams of the past, and they are mediocre in the crowded crowd, seeking to make a living. When he gradually feels that he is a human being, he suddenly sees the friends who will not become human beings happy. Dancing, is this the life he wants? But civet cats can throw everything back, so what about us? What can we throw away and where can we go back? Just like the civet cat that went back, after he sang and danced happily, does he still have to return to human life? Will it be found that in addition to those happy memories in the past life, in fact, he can't go back?
What a great dream, and finally return to life. And life, after all, will make us smooth all the edges and corners. There is a deep sense of powerlessness. . .

    An animated environmental protection blockbuster, when all that can't be restored, people realize how beautiful and sad it is. . .

    A strong "anti-war" core wrapped under the "environmental protection" coat. A civil war of a small race full of internal civilization begins, and then it is invaded by a powerful foreign race, triggering a counterattack of unity within the small race. The first act, military training, demonstrations, guerrillas, and national heroes, did not work, and the hawks and doves were beginning to emerge. In the second act, the strategy was re-established, foreign aid was invited, and a large-scale armed parade was launched. The third act, being exploited, alienated, and internally divided. The fourth act, disintegrating, falling apart, and finally losing to a more powerful race, either fleeing or accepting the status quo, living on their own soil that is no longer their own country, dying or surviving.
