This movie made me glad that you came, which not only brought happy time to our family of three, but more importantly, let the children gain many wonderful spiritual experiences.
Keywords 1: rules
At the beginning of the film, all the animals in the forest, strong or weak, are gathered under the call of the leader of the wolf clan, chanting the rules of the forest in unison, and the wolf boy Mao Keli is also mumbling something. This kind of similar clip appears repeatedly in the film, including at the end, when the animals fight the arrogant tiger together, the voice of chanting forest rules in unison rings again and becomes more and more turbulent. My young children don't know what rules are. I told her that in the film, the big tiger turned his back and other animals supported the wolf clan to death because of the rules. Forests have rules of forest operation, and human beings have rules of human operation. Obeying the rules is the bottom line for a person to survive in society. Don't move or violate the rules at will, or even if you are as strong as a tiger, you will be helpless in the end. The child nodded thoughtfully.
Keyword 2: Autonomy
When the wolf boy Maukley was threatened by a fierce tiger, he left the forest without hesitation and returned to the place where human beings lived. I secretly asked the child, if you were Mao Keli, what would you choose? The child answered simply, like Mao Keli. This may make the child understand invisibly that sometimes the whole is greater than the part, but in the face of arrogance and coercion, I want to tell her that there may be a better way to deal with it. Temporary concession does not mean giving up forever and drag out an ignoble existence!
Mao Keli's journey out of the forest and back to mankind is thrilling, difficult and dangerous. Isn't he hesitating inside? He walked all the way to ask the answer to where to go. Side by side with the panther on the vast grassland, he is happy to be a free-riding wolf; When he smashed the hive with the bear to get honey, he still lingered on the satisfaction brought by his whimsy. When he walked out of the edge of the forest, he was not excited, nor jumped with joy, but full of doubts. He still remembers that he collapsed to the ground and leaned against the soft and comfortable fur of the bear like a tired body. He doesn't deserve to do anything.
In the face of their own abnormal situation, it doesn't matter whether they are wolves or people. What matters is what way you should choose! When the wolf boy was half flattering and half sweet talking to the bear, Mao Keli came up with a way to use the tree as a ladder by virtue of his natural cleverness. When he learned that his wolf father was forced to death by a fierce and cruel tiger, Mao Keli was more angry than ever. It seems that he suddenly understood his responsibility and morality, and he roared back to the forest. When he thought of using human red flowers as a sharp weapon to defeat tigers, when he finally put up a tree ladder with his own wisdom in a desperate struggle with tigers, it was no suspense that tigers were killed in the fire, but Mao Keli's unparalleled autonomy as human beings gradually enriched, so that eventually children would admire such a brave young hero who encountered difficulties instead of stupidly worshipping a wolf who grew up in the forest! Therefore, at this point, I think Disney holds a good hand, making children pay attention to people themselves and leading them to appreciate and realize their wisdom and courage. This is also a responsibility to the young mind!
Keyword 3: Mutual assistance
If a 90-minute movie, in addition to the reflection on human nature and the power of social laws, can make children feel the energy of mutual help from friends again, it will certainly not make this short-term companionship futile! My children and I reflect on why the wolf boy Maukley finally defeated the tiger. In addition to the innate wisdom of human beings, the ubiquitous warmth and mutual assistance between people and animals is actually indispensable! If it is a coincidence to avoid the formation of the wildebeest when the tiger is chasing, and it is to avoid the plot needs of the deadly blow of the sinister and vicious python, then I think the children should understand these places: if there is no pity and lift a finger from the panther, perhaps Little Maokeli would have died long ago; Without the careful feeding and cultivation of wolf parents, there would be no vigorous growth of Mao Keli; If the tiger didn't help the panther when he pursued the threat, how could there be Mao Keli's successful revenge later? If the black bear is playing a trivial but well-intentioned trick, even if the wolf boy helps the bear is a disingenuous debt-paying move, how touching it is when Mao Keli overcomes his fear and climbs to the top of the mountain to help the wolf boy's big stupid bear at the mercy of a whole mountain of monkeys! If the wolf child did not actively rescue the elephant when it was stuck in the mud, then the whole elephant group would not be so abrupt and warm in the end! ..... The beauty of this scene is circulating on the screen, but I believe that they have entered the hearts of children! Because, out of the cinema, the child's eyes are shining with bright light!
