Environmental protection After
watching the movie, I think the author must be an environmentalist. When the old Kung Fu lady leads everyone to the jungle, telling everyone that we are New Yorkers, we need water, we build dams; we need housing, we build skyscrapers Building. The shadow of the old lady was reflected by the fire light, like a silhouette of the Statue of Liberty. Here, the screenwriter laid the groundwork to pave the way for the resolution of the story conflict. The opposition between man and nature is highlighted here. When human beings face difficulties in their own survival, they naturally think of letting nature sacrifice, for the benefit of mankind, in order to survive, we humans ignore the survival of animals, so-called civilization, so-called respect for life, in this Under the circumstances, it seems so fragile, so vulnerable.
Faced with difficulties, people chose to build a dam. They may not have thought about what will happen to the animals downstream if a dam is built; maybe they have thought about it before, but their instinct to seek advantages and avoid harm makes them choose to sacrifice animals. We don't know here. But when we think back to the so-called civilized people making these decisions, how poorly considered they are.
Politics
When people are faced with difficulties, they are often vulnerable to shareholders, lose their minds, and make unthinkable decisions.
The economic crisis of the 1930s caused the Germans who had suffered in the Versailles Treaty to lose their world-renowned reason and meticulousness. Radical fanatical Nazism was gradually accepted. Everyone knows it. Another example is that after the "911" incident, US security legislation often violated the inherent human rights concept of the United States, but why was it passed with the green light in the end? The Americans were terrified, but they still felt that their fate was critical.
In the movie, when the group of New Yorkers face the dilemma of survival, the old Kung Fu lady gives an impassioned speech, isn't it just like Hitler's expression back then? People follow the old Kung Fu lady like a devil, isn't it just like the situation of the German Nazi Party in those days?
In the movie, not only humans, but animals also show a mental deformity in fear. The Lemur King said that he would use living people (animals in the play) to sacrifice to the God of Water, but everyone flocked to him. The Lemur King said to the Prime Minister thought-provoking "We have to hurry before they regain their sanity (complete the sacrifice)."
About superstition
At the last chance, the Lemur King threw a great white shark into the water (and didn't even cast this action) and then looked down on the water. The "success" case that I wanted to sacrifice with a living person (animal) is reflected in my mind. Maybe the myth is just a coincidence, nothing is true. Just like Apollo’s divine metaphor
