Friday, June 03, 2005 ( Madagascar ) The movie is about friendship and going through thick and thin together as friends. This movie makes me shed tears and makes me realize that you must not give up on yourself no matter what the circumstances is. The characters Alex (lion) was pampered throughout his life and never has to hunt. Instead he gets the utmost attention from the zookeeper and humans treat him like a king. His life was not like living in the wild and he is not exposed to the cruelty of the world outside. He lived a sheltered life until one day his friend Marty (zebra) have this crazy idea to escape and run to the wild. Then story begins I am not really amazed by the plot or the settings it is the characters that shines and make the movie stand out. In dire situations, it reveals the true colors of a person and show simply whether a person is vicious by nature. Alex for example shows his nature by acting wild and even growl at his friends, a sign of anger and hunger. He himself was shocked at his whim behavior. He isolates himself and does not wish to harm his good friends. He feels that he have become a killer and a very dangerous creature that could potentially harm his friends. This part of the story was the most touching part. It shows just how cruel life is an animal is created as food for another animals and the cycle just keep going on. If Alex wants to live he must eat his friends or else he would become weak. However Marty never give up on Alex because he know Alex true nature and that he is not a wild and savage animal by nurture. By nature lions hunt and kill animals for food. But Alex is a different case. Only Marty can help Alex and indeed he did so. The story tests the friendship bond between those creatures and whether their true friendship love will prevail. It is all about love and this kind of love is portraying by animals. It is a heart warming story with a strong motive Then I start to think about whether I am a true friend and if I have found true friends, which depend I guess. One thing for sure I have been dreaming about my friends these days…I miss them…you know who you are 2:08 AM |
