I saw Kung Fu Panda for the first time in a class of mine in which we had nothing better to do. I thought this would just be another dumb kid movie that had to do with a fat panda trying to do something athletic. However I was wrong and was taught many things through the movie.
This is an amazing movie that has many positive messages and a very interesting story line. There are many different lessons to be learned throughout the plot. The main character Po, who is a panda that loves kung fu, was accidently chosen to be the dragon warrior who was prophesized to bring peace to their entire valley. About this time Tai Lung, the evil character, escapes from a prison and is out to fight Po and defeat the dragon warrior. Through Po’s training and experiences he goes through he finds that you should not strive to make yourself something your not, but to embrace yourself and be confident in who you are. After he learns that the true power and secret of Kung Fu just lies within you he fights Tai Lung and defeats him.
This is a great moral to the movie. In our time today so many people strive to be something they are not. We have the images of beauty and what being normal is drilled into our heads by the media of today. Kids are trying to be what they see in the magazines and forgetting about what they see in the mirror. Hopefully times will change and people in this world will start being themselves and embracing their own lives. Kung Fu Panda is truly a great movie and there is so much to be learned through it about finding ourselves.
I agree with this post. The media has brainwashed us into believing that you have to dashingly beautiful to be extemely talented. Kung Fu Panda supports the old addage that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover as Po possesed great fighting ability even though he may not seem to have any. Kids should see this movie and be inspired to accomplish great things because it proves that anything is possible.
ReplyDeleteI also agree with Asa because the large majority of television today has only good-looking prototypes of what the media thinks the perfect person should be like. Many youngsters do not realize that they do not have to be beautiful or muscular or anything like that to achieve their goals. You can achieve almost anything if you put in the hard work like Po did.
