The videos I watched became popular in ancient times

Chapter 289 Zootopia

Unknowingly, the happy hour of the afternoon is coming soon, and ancient people from all dynasties have been looking forward to this moment.

Especially for ordinary people and children of all dynasties and generations, watching movies has become their favorite way of entertainment.

It is no exaggeration to say that ordinary people like them prefer watching movies compared to live broadcasts at night.

After all, for them, the live broadcast at night is at most just listening to stories to entertain them at night.

Movies are quite different. They can be said to be the most leisurely form of entertainment and are deeply loved by them.

The few movies they had watched before were all very exciting and they are still fresh in their memories.

Therefore, people in ancient times have great expectations for today's movies.

Although they didn’t know what movie they were going to watch, almost all the people from all dynasties and generations were already prepared in advance. They moved small stools outside their houses to sit and wait for the movie to start.

Soon, another animated movie "Zootopia" kicked off with the expectations of ancient people from all over the world.

The whole movie basically revolves around prejudice, and not only Judy the Rabbit is prejudiced, but even Nick the Fox is no exception.

This made him suspect that prejudice might be a common phenomenon in later generations of society.

From then on, Nick became indifferent to everything around him.

The cold muzzle locked not only Nick's mouth, but also his gentle heart towards the world.

But after Judy helped her classmates escape at the critical moment, Officer Tiger who rushed to the scene saw such a smart Judy and praised her for her potential to be a police officer.

Nick played with his friends as usual and tried to buy large popsicles for reselling, but was rejected by the Elephant store manager.

Since everyone thinks that foxes are cunning by nature, there is no need for Nick to make other efforts.

However, one day, a rabbit accidentally broke into his life.

It seems now that no matter how the times develop and how prosperous the society becomes, prejudice will always exist.

But Judy was not reconciled, and the fire burning in her heart was not extinguished by the sounds around her.

After being laughed at, Nick understood two things. One is that he didn't want to see his vulnerability in front of others.

Either they were buried by the sky full of yellow sand, or they fell into the cold ice and shivered.

But the difference between Fox and Judy is that he did not stick to his inner beliefs.

But Judy is not content with the status quo. She harbors the dream of becoming a police officer.

And he announced in a high-profile manner at the school's talent show that he would be a rabbit police officer in the future.

But let alone future generations, even in their Great Qin Empire, prejudice is very common.

Compared with the strong bodies of his colleagues in the police station, Judy looks very inconspicuous. Chief Niu thinks it is a joke for the little rabbit to be a policeman.

Ying Zheng: This film seems to be a small microcosm of human society, and the whole film seems to revolve around prejudice.

But the world she lives in is actually not friendly to her.

But Judy was born to be a rebel, and the overbearing bullying behavior of classmate Fox made her determined to become a police officer. 】

Judy's parents did not support Judy at first. They believed that there were other ways to realize her dream, such as becoming a radish farmer.

As a result, Judy determined her dream of becoming a police officer.

However, the stubborn Judy did not give up easily. She found her speed advantage as a small animal and stood out in the training and successfully graduated.

With the clever help of Officer Rabbit, Fox successfully bought a large popsicle.

At present, it seems that this cartoon is similar to the previous "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" in that they both use animated characters to reflect the real world.

The previous "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" was about the theme of prejudice, and now it seems that this "Zootopia" is also the same.

Second, since the world is biased against itself and has been labeled cunning, there is no need to make any attempts or changes.

However, such a dream really shocked his parents. Their family had been diligent farmers growing radishes for generations and lived a contented and stable life. There had never been a rabbit who wanted to be a policeman.

When Nick was a child, he wanted to be a helpful Boy Scout, but he was ridiculed because of his status as a carnivore.

[As a child, Nick the Fox wanted to join the Boy Scouts and make friends, so his mother finally got enough money to buy him a uniform.

He opportunistically engages in the business of reselling popsicles every day, and his life is comfortable and peaceful.

A rabbit who claimed to be a police officer defended Nick. She was wearing a traffic uniform and pointedly pointed out that the elephant did not follow hygiene standards when making ice cream.

The name of Officer Rabbit is Judy. Unlike Nick who had low self-esteem and was sensitive when he was a child, Judy has been an optimist since he was a child.

This reminds me of most parents in the real world. They want their children to follow the rules and live their lives as they want.

And it can be seen that according to the plot speculation, Judy will definitely realize her dream later.

After Nick put it on, he ran to school to attend the swearing-in ceremony with great expectations, but his friends were afraid of him because he was a carnivore.

Although there was a period of confusion, the teacher also paranoidly told her that rabbits could only grow radishes.

He became the first rabbit officer in the history of the Zootopia Police Department, and was later sent to the downtown police station by the Lion Mayor.

The police are the preserve of large animals, and a little rabbit's dream of becoming a police officer is somewhat wishful thinking.

Rabbit Judy was born in poverty, and her family has made a living by farming for generations.

[In the Zootopia Police Academy, Judy, who is new to the city, is cannon fodder in the harsh training.

Although Judy is the best student in the police academy this year, Director Niu still perfunctorily handed her the job of traffic auxiliary police officer.

The competitive Judy was dissatisfied with Director Niu's arrangement and decided to issue two hundred tickets before lunch to prove herself.

Then they met Nick who was being attacked, and Judy kindly helped Nick out.

But unexpectedly, the cunning Nick pushed the situation and not only successfully bought the large popsicles, but also made Judy willingly pay for the popsicles.

It was originally thought that the two would have nothing to do with each other after this separation, but then the wheel of fate started turning.

Nick's reselling of popsicles was accidentally discovered by Judy. He first bought a large popsicle from the Elephant Cold Drinks Shop.

It is then melted, put into bottles, and transported to Icefield Town to be made into Claw Popsicles.

In the end, the popsicles were resold to the hamsters at Ratman Brothers Bank. Even the discarded wooden sticks were sold to the construction mice by Nick, who falsely claimed they were redwood.

Nick's behavior made Judy intolerable, and the feud between the two enemies was finally forged.

Nick cruelly told Judy the rules in Zootopia.

Judy was shocked, her ears drooped all the time, and she lost her previous enthusiasm while working.

However, the appearance of a weasel thief rekindled Judy's confidence in being a police officer. 】

Fan Li: The world says I have talent in business, but Nick the Fox is the real business wizard.

Although this film is a cartoon with strong metaphors, he couldn't help but be amazed by the business methods contained in the film.

Although Nick the Fox is a deceiver, Nick's method of making a fortune is really powerful and worth learning from.

The fox and his partner went to the Elephant Ice Cream Shop and bought an oversized popsicle. In the end, the two acted to get the kind-hearted Judy the Rabbit to pay willingly.

Then they melted the giant popsicles and made super cute paw popsicles.

And he stayed on the road that the hamster must pass when he got off work, and all the popsicles were sold out.

In this process, Fox Nick's business ability has been vividly demonstrated.

The fox captures the price difference between the elephant popsicle and the hamster popsicle, which is the so-called arbitrage space.

Fox has also enhanced the packaging of its products. The popsicles in the Elephant Store are silly and black, but the packaging of the Little Claw popsicles is very cute.

The fox chose the right sales location, which the hamster must pass by after get off work.

The fox positioned the target users very accurately. Hamsters are herd animals. The first hamster was attracted by the popsicles, and the subsequent ones were easy to sell.

Fox also reused the remaining value and sold the lumber to construction sites.

As for the final profit, the fox gave his partner forty yuan.

Even if Fox and his partners split it 50-50, the profit would still be 40 yuan, which is pure profit.

It can be seen that Nick Fox is simply a business genius.

[Judy was inadvertently involved in a case of missing carnivores. Under the guidance of her friend Deputy Mayor Sheep, Judy successfully participated in the search for Mr. Otter.

Director Niu gave Judy 48 hours to find Mr. Otter, otherwise Judy would resign and leave immediately.

Officer Leopard provided Judy with very limited case information, but Judy found clues related to Nick in the information.

After getting the case, Judy happily congratulated Officer Leopard. Officer Leopard told Judy that she could use Officer Elephant's computer to check information.

In front of the huge computer, Judy was busy jumping up and down.

Sometimes he is controlling the computer with his hands in the mouse area, and sometimes he is doing difficult yoga with his hands and feet in the keyboard area.

Mr. Otter's information on the computer was very detailed, and the last clue also pointed to a red fox, which made Judy helplessly wonder what kind of fate this was.

And Nick didn't expect that he would get entangled with a little rabbit.

Judy seizes on the loopholes in Nick's reselling business and threatens him to cooperate with her.

Nick, who was very confident in his cunning, was tricked beautifully by others, and he gradually changed his view of the rabbit in front of him.

Nick took Judy to the Naturist Club. He liked to tease this innocent little white rabbit and said all kinds of sarcastic words to persuade her to give up.

However, Judy would never give up halfway, and Master Yak provided Judy with many valuable clues.

She originally thought she would let Nick go, but unexpectedly, Judy turned him over and asked Nick to continue taking her to the DMV to check the license plate.

In this case, Nick had no choice but to accompany him to the end. He found the sloth Lightning and successfully delayed Judy's investigation progress.

Although we finally got the clue of the license plate number, 12 hours had passed.

Facing the locked iron door, Nick mocked Officer Rabbit for not having a search warrant, successfully angered Judy, and asked him if he was wasting his time.

They talked harshly and made fun of each other, but Judy still refused to let him go.

Judy entered the iron gate under the guise of Nick being a suspected thief, and unexpectedly came to the territory of Mr. Big, the leader of the Animal City gang. 】

Children from all dynasties and generations burst into laughter when they saw the cute sloth.

Especially Nick the Fox deliberately told jokes to the Sloth, but the Sloth didn't laugh at first.

After a while, the expression on the sloth's face began to become extremely exaggerated.

The slow process of the sloth going from being expressionless to laughing was very interesting, and countless children laughed so hard that they were out of breath.

While children from all dynasties and generations were laughing, the parents beside them had wry smiles on their faces.

The movie deliberately alludes to reality from the beginning, and this scene is even more so. Rabbit rushed to the transportation bureau to check the license plate number, but the clerks at the transportation bureau were all slow-moving sloths.

The reason why people from all dynasties and generations smiled bitterly was because they saw a familiar shadow on the sloth.

Sometimes they need to go to the government to find officials to do things, and those officials are as procrastinating as the sloths in the movie.

[What a coincidence, because Nick had offended Mr. Big before, he was very angry when he saw Nick again.

Coupled with Judy's indiscriminate suspicion of him, it can only make them say hello to their dead grandmother.

But at this moment, daughter Lulu appeared in time to save Nick and the others, because Judy was her savior.

With the help of Mr. Big, Judy and Nick find the Black Panther who last saw Mr. Otter.

Since being attacked by an otter, the black panther has become extremely timid. Nick asked him to let down his guard and cooperate with the investigation in a few words.

Judy was a little surprised that the fox, who was originally very annoying, took the initiative to help her.

However, before the two of them had time to ask in detail, the black panther suddenly showed his bestiality without any warning.

I saw the black panther rushing toward Nick Judy like crazy. Judy, who was well-trained, led Nick to avoid various attacks.

They jumped onto the vines in the air and barely escaped with their lives.

But when Director Niu rushed to the scene, the black panther who had been handcuffed before was nowhere to be seen.

Director Niu didn't believe Judy's words, let alone the inherently cunning fox.

Seeing everything in front of him, Nick suddenly felt the urge to protect this little rabbit.

Probably even Nick himself doesn't know why he cares so much about this rabbit now.

Probably because Judy saved him twice and her situation was very similar to his childhood self, Nick couldn't help but want to protect her.

Nick suddenly thought that they could use traffic surveillance to find the whereabouts of the Black Panther.

With the help of Judy's friend, Deputy Mayor Sheep, they discovered that the mastermind behind this was a group of wild wolves.

The midnight howl mentioned by the Black Panther should refer to them. Nick used his intuition to quickly find the lair of these wild wolves.

They sneaked into the Wild Wolf's base and found that the recently missing predators were all imprisoned here, and without exception, they all acted like crazy.

At this moment, the door of the base suddenly opened, and the lion mayor of Animal City suddenly appeared. It turned out that the lion mayor was the initiator of the disappearance. 】

Liu Bowen: It can be said that "Zootopia" is a fable about reality, using metaphors to describe society and human nature.

There is species bias everywhere in Animal City. Rabbits are not suitable to be police officers, foxes are all liars, herbivores are weak, and carnivores are cruel...

The classic classic "Journey to the West" is on the surface a story about gods and monsters, but it is also a fable inside.

Sun Wukong is independent and capable. He dares to cause trouble in the Heavenly Palace and overthrow the order of the Heavenly Palace. He is often regarded as a manifestation of the rebellious spirit.

Zhu Bajie is not only lazy and cowardly, but also greedy for women, symbolizing the weakness of human nature.

In terms of the purpose of satirizing reality, fables can impress readers more, and their smiling satirical effect is better than direct criticism.

He can clearly feel that as a fable, what "Zootopia" wants to oppose the most is the common facial expression interpretation in fables.

For example, the lion represents the ruler, the rabbit represents timidity and stupidity, and the fox represents cunning.

As the plot develops, the animals' true personalities always deviate from their corresponding traditional images.

The rabbit who is supposed to be timid is brave and passionate, and the fox who is supposed to be cunning is kind and sincere.

Small animals become gang bosses, while large animals become lackeys.

Using fables to interpret real society may be the deep meaning that the film wants to convey.

[Judy was recording the criminal evidence of Mayor Lion on her mobile phone, but a sudden call from the mobile phone exposed their whereabouts.

In order to escape from here, Judy and Nick jumped into the toilet sewer.

Nick, who escaped, was worried about Judy's safety and called Judy's name loudly.

Judy sent the evidence to Director Niu, who sent a large force to bring Mayor Lion to justice.

Nick also took the opportunity to show his authority on the scene and win back the favor for Judy, who had been wronged before.

Director Niu then held a press conference to announce that the disappearance case had been solved, and Judy on the side was about to take the stage to explain the situation.

Judy was so nervous that she was at a loss. Nick saw this and taught her some tips on how to deal with the media.

Judy felt that Nick should also share the credit for solving the case. She took out a police application form and hoped that Nick could become her partner.

Nick couldn't believe his eyes. He had dreamed of becoming a police officer since he was a child.

Although he had been obliterated before, his burning heart was once again filled with hope because of Judy.

But at this moment, Judy's gaffe at the press conference made Nick suddenly sober.

Judy believes that carnivores may go crazy because of their savage nature.

Looking at the muzzled predator on the screen, Nick recalled that dark night.

Nick suppressed the anger in his heart and asked Judy. Judy's half step back completely disappointed Nick.

Nick tore off the ridiculous police badge sticker that could have been thrown away long ago and left angrily without looking back.

Judy's gaffe was widely exaggerated by the media, and Zootopia fell into a panic about predators.

Looking at what happened in front of her, Judy fell into deep self-blame.

Judy took off her police badge and decided to resign from the police station, and returned to Rabbit Nest Town depressed.

However, I accidentally learned from my parents that the real midnight howl was not those wolves.

It is the name of a flower that can drive animals crazy. It is the midnight howler flower that makes predators become bestial.

After waking up, Judy hurried back to Animal City to find Nick. She explained her discovery to Nick. 】

Li Shimin: The portrayal of characters in contrast and prejudice in this film is so perfect that it has exceeded the heights reached by fables.

In the plot, the two childhood memories of Judy the rabbit and Nick the fox beautifully realize the transition from contrast to anti-prejudice.

When Judy was a child, the bully Fox who bullied her friends strengthened her determination to become a police officer.

It also buries wariness and prejudice against foxes. The spray on Judy's waist is a symbol of this thought.

Although Judy gradually forgot about the existence of the spray and did not use it, it became part of her subconscious.

Invisibly, Judy took unprincipled sides again and again, choosing to trust the weaker side instead of finding out the truth first.

When Nick the Fox was a child, just when he believed that treating others kindly would result in others being kind to him, he was inexplicably beaten and humiliated by a group of premeditated herbivores.

So Nick really developed towards the label that others put on him, and became an opportunistic philistine.

However, this is Nick's disguise. Being able to protect himself by becoming evil is Nick's hint to himself.

But once he senses the kindness of others, Nick is willing to reciprocate kindness.

Compared to the cynicism that grows up, the innocence of childhood is actually closer to the real Nick.

It must be said that the film's portrayal of Judy and Nick's characters was very successful, and he was extremely impressed.

[However, the heartbroken Nick didn't care at all, and Judy chased after him to confess that he had done something wrong.

It turned out that Nick was not really angry with Judy at all. As soon as Judy opened her mouth, he would immediately return to Judy.

After the two settled their differences, they followed the clues and found the abandoned carriage where the midnight howling flowers were cultivated, and discovered that the mastermind behind the scenes was Doug the Ram.

Doug the Ram injects the carnivores with a serum made from the Midnight Howl flower, causing them to go crazy instantly.

In order to get the criminal evidence of Doug the Ram, Judy decided to give it a go.

Judy kicked Doug the ram out of the car, and then started the car with Nick and headed to the police station.

But on the way, they were blocked by Doug the Ram, and the carriage fell off the rails and fell to the ground.

Judy and Nick jumped out of the car at the right time, but all the Howling Flowers in the car were blown to pieces.

Fortunately, Nick had a plan, and they planned to take a shortcut through the museum to the police station.

However, Deputy Mayor Yang suddenly appeared and stopped Judy, and she asked Judy to hand over the evidence to her.

Judy suddenly realized that Deputy Mayor Sheep's appearance was too coincidental and refused to hand over the evidence to her.

Seeing that the matter had been exposed, Deputy Mayor Yang immediately ordered to capture Judy and the others. It turned out that she was the real mastermind behind the scenes.

Nick and Judy were knocked down in the pit of the museum in panic. Vice Mayor Sheep raised his gun and shot the serum directly on Nick. Vice Mayor Sheep, who was confident of winning, confessed everything to Judy and the others.

Nick lunged forward and was about to bite Judy's neck.

But the next moment, Judy suddenly acted like she was playing, and there was nothing wrong with her.

Nick on the side looked at Judy fondly, and it turned out that they had already replaced the serum in the pistol with blueberries.

Director Niu and the others had been waiting nearby for a long time, and then they arrested Deputy Mayor Yang.

The Animal City finally returned to its former peace, and the crazy carnivores also regained their sanity thanks to the antidote.

Due to his outstanding performance in the operation, Nick was hired as a real police officer and became the first fox officer in the police station. 】

Su Shi: The choice of each animal metaphor is just right, and the contrast is vividly reflected. The excitement of the film is no less than that of the previous films.

Contrasts appear everywhere in the film, which not only challenges everyone's perception, but also cleverly creates laughter.

From Judy the rabbit, who is weak among the tall animal police colleagues, to the clerk Sloth, who is named Lightning but moves slower than a turtle, to the mafia boss Mouse, who is majestic but petite.

Finally, the biggest contrast appears in the true identity of the mastermind behind the scenes. Who would have thought that the seemingly docile and weak sheep is the biggest villain.

Just when he subconsciously thought and believed that animals with ferocious faces and violent personalities would be natural spokespersons for bad guys.

The film uses the reversal of the plot to tell and remind him of the truth that there is no inevitable connection between the strong and the weak, and between good and evil.

Even if you are a weak person, it is wrong and unreasonable to speculate with the greatest malice on a relatively powerful person.

The choice of animal metaphors is even more ingenious. The character traits and external images of animals are carefully and carefully selected at a glance.

This makes the final result not only consistent with everyone's understanding of that animal, but sometimes deliberately subversive.

And the process of subversion is often a well-intentioned attempt to bring order to chaos.

For example, everyone thinks of foxes as cunning, and Nick the Fox appears as a liar.

Nick took another short fox and tricked them into a huge ice cream, broke them down into more small ice creams and sold them to the well-dressed little hamsters.

But in the end, Fox Nick began to stop hiding the kinder part of himself deep inside, got rid of everyone's inherent prejudice, and became a policeman.
