Today I want to recommend this movie: Zootopia
When it comes to racial integration, this animated film delivers an even deeper and darker message through its plot twists.Judy the rabbit spends her whole life fighting against the discrimination directed at her species. Ironically, after achieving a major success with the help of a fox, she ends up—under media influence—accidentally saying discriminatory things that harm the very group the fox belongs to.
While the real antagonist here is someone who stirs up and exploits historical tensions between species, attempting to reclaim what she believes to be her “rightful power and status”... (no spoilers!). But in the end, the truth is: every creature has made sacrifices in order to build such a prosperous and beautiful city together. And maybe those you think are privileged are only “privileged” in your eyes.
This story made me reflect: true civilization means studying history widely, making it transparent, and therefore we are able to let go of the past, then we can move forward toward a world where everyone truly has the chance to “Try Everything” in equality.
