Tarzan Stuff

In the first few weeks of english we have been working on perspective and messages in movies and books comparing to the world world. To help us understand we watched the Tarzan movie. After we watched it we had to compare events and messages in it to the real world. We have had to take a quote "Two Worlds, One Family" and take two messages and talk about them.

Here is my definition for the Quote Two Worlds, One Family. "The quote means that animals and Human are psychologically in a different world but in the same at the same time. In this case, the Gorillas and Tarzan are in one world but the Humans are in another world but Tarzan has one family which ends up being the Humans that stayed and the Gorillas"

Here are my two other messages I made a paragraph about.

In Tarzan, a big theme is about different cultures and how a more advanced culture may interact with a more “Primitive” culture that is discovered. This movie links to stuff like the British colonization of NZ were British troops tried to take the land and eventually warred with the Maori. It happened in the real world so much and even today it happens when cultures collide or Religions collide. The way it is shown here is the Humans come to find and eradicate the Gorillas while the two explorers want to save them. This shows a dynamic in the real world as well were people from the same culture and religion don’t want the war to continue or the conquest of other cultures/religions.

Another theme is about how nature is also a living thing and should not be needlessly trampled over like it was in the movie. They show the Animals in the jungle as living things with their own cultures traditions and language that talk to each other and are caring to each other just trying to survive in a peaceful place. When the Humans come you see their terrified expressions and how their Alpha male Kerchak gets extremely defensive and rushes at them to protect his family. It shows that in this world Humans are like Animals in a way. Which is true was are made from the same thing and both us and animals have communities families and stuff like that we are more similar than what a lot of people believe.
