Essay / Themes of the movie Zootopia - 1457
All the characters and settings in the plot aim to get out of people's mindset and create a conflict between ideality and reality - a nice contrast. In Zootopia, we see the rabbit Judy throwing off the chains imposed on her by the dual role of “female” and “rabbit”; Fox Nick becomes Judy's loyal partner and helps Judy catch the bad guy; the leopard Benjamin Clawhauser at the reception sheds the masculine image and acts more like Gay's people's imagination (a stereotype); The mayor's assistant, the sheep Bellwether, goes from a silly and gentle herbivore to the leader of a criminal group; Mr.Big is a small rodent while the lazy Flash drives very fast. The process of breaking down these prejudices and stereotypes is the most touching part of Zootopia. Zootopia is committed to telling people that every individual in our society has different possibilities and can be different, regardless of race, age, gender and age. No one should be ashamed of “difference”. Zootopia shatters our stereotypes, inspires us to re-examine the way we see the world, and encourages us to treat others with an open mind. Most of the time, we are not aware of the influence of stereotypes on us, because these influences can exist in small details such as our tone, facial expression or even a pause. For example, in Zootopia, Judy shouted, “Wait. Are they all lazy? ", she also asked "did you play cribbage with a weasel once? and Nick's joke to the Bellwether sheep "You think when she falls asleep she counts herself?" ". You can see the main character as a positive image, he still has a lot of stereotypical thoughts about other species. At the press conference, Judy said that wild carnivores commit this crime because of their DNA and that they may have innate aggression. In that time, she went from a bunny who longs for racial integration and hateful discrimination to an author who takes on predators, even though she didn't.
