Varmints

I would like to make some references to the movie which we were shown in the IE class of last Friday, Varmints.

Actually, in the middle of watching that movie, I got very sleepy, for which I am very sorry. In the beginning scene, we saw a cute green animal. There spread nature at first. That part can be compared with the human history before industrialisation,the period when the industrial revolution was given birth to in Britain for the first time in our history. Before that, human beings were in harmony with nature, not going against the power of Mother Nature, all work being done by human labour,or by utilising animals' labour at most. As there used to be ever more green nature in the world before the industrialisation than after it, in the Varmints movie, the animal sees there is less and less green nature as time passes.

After all, there appear many buildings and skyscrapers where there used to be just green nature, which can be analogous to the part of our human history, in which our ancestors experienced industrialisation at the cost of Mother Nature. The green animal was forced to live in the crowds brought about by what can be analogous to industrialisation.

I thought that this movie emphasised how our society kills nature for the sake of industrial progress. As our society puts too much value on getting more and more industrial progress and profits, it is so prone to get blind to what has supported us for a very long time throughout our history, nature.
