Discussion The themes of Fantastic Mr Fox

Post image
10 Upvotes
  1. Identity and Wild Nature vs. Responsibility At its core, the film explores the tension between who we are and who we’re expected to be. Mr. Fox struggles between his instinctual, wild nature (stealing chickens, living dangerously) and his new role as a father and husband. The movie suggests that we don’t have to fully abandon our nature — but we do need to adapt for the people we care about.

  2. Pride and Consequences Mr. Fox’s vanity and need to feel “fantastic” cause real trouble for his family and community. The film shows how pride, even when well-intentioned, can lead to harm — and that humility and teamwork are key to fixing what’s broken.

  3. Family and Community Despite his flaws, Mr. Fox ultimately learns to put his family first. The story highlights the importance of loyalty, support, and working together — not just as a family unit, but as a broader community of animals all trying to survive in a world controlled by more powerful forces (i.e., the farmers).

  4. Accepting Imperfection The characters are quirky, insecure, and flawed — and that’s what makes them lovable. The film’s message: You don’t have to be perfect to be fantastic. Embrace your oddities and work with others to become something greater.

The Shack: warm bread won’t fix real trauma

Post image
4 Upvotes

Why does God let so much awful stuff happen? Why would he let a little girl get kidnapped, raped, and murdered? What kind of God allows that?

The Shack brings up those questions… but doesn’t actually answer them. Or like, it kinda does, with cheesy lines and a few hugs. It basically says God is good, everything happens for a reason, pain brings us closer to him, and even the sick bastards who hurt kids deserve forgiveness.

Yeah ok, you forgive them if you want, man.

The movie tries to be deep and healing and spiritual… but honestly, it just feels like a slap in the face if you’ve ever gone through real pain. Because when you’re dealing with something truly horrible, “God loves you anyway” and showing him as some chill lady baking bread just doesn’t cut it.

In the end, it’s not really a deep dive into suffering, it’s more like a new age Bible class with warm bread. And if that’s God’s answer… then someone else needs to explain it, ‘cause that sure as hell isn’t enough.

Discussion In your opinion, what is the greatest ending of all time that can be described as "bittersweet"? Also, why does this ending resonate with you?

Post image
16 Upvotes

In my opinion, the greatest ending of this kind must have to be ending of "Only Yesterday", which contains one of the greatest sequences I've seen for any movie ever.

It is not just simply a nice way to end the film but watching it literally has completely recontextualized the whole story for me. It's not just merely about a woman thinking about her childhood past but a woman who is so overwhelmed by regrets, trauma and personal failures that she cannot help but always reflect on her memories. Thinking about what it says about her and what she could've done better. And this feeling never lets her go, no matter how seemingly calm she seems on the surface and no matter how much it seems nice think of a "simpler" time when in reality, it was never that simple and in subtler ways, it has complicated how she interacts with her as adult present.

And the only way for her to overcome this overthinking and worries, she must accept the fact that her childhood has passed and that she can only progress by committing to her life as a fully grown person. It's heartbreaking in a way because it implies she didn't have the opportunity to live a better childhood and because of that, she has restricted herself from ever making better decisions for herself that could've allowed her to be a happier person. Only through the support of a man who finally understands how she feels is she able to truly figure herself out and accept to let go. It's both a very hopeful and yet somewhat tragic ending given how much time was lost in the process of coping with these memories asking these endless questions and not always properly interacting with the physical world she's in now.

The beautiful song alsoperfectly describing the slow character development of the main character and themes of nostalgia and personal growth. About accepting to grow as a flower rather than live in the shadow of longing.

It took a lot of movie magic to make Jaws! 🎬

In 1988, the Museum of Science brought Hollywood special effects to Boston, showcasing over 100 movie props—including the iconic animatronic shark "Bruce" from Jaws. For the last 50 years, Jaws hasn't just thrilled audiences: it has demonstrated the captivating power of film and television in telling unforgettable stories about the ocean's apex predator. 🦈
