Anyways, Fredrick Back! His animated movie The Man Who Planted Trees! He told people who made animated movies that they should try better! I can agree! Not only was the animation beautiful, but the story itself was really fascinating. It is the kind of story that is environmental but doesn't shove it in your face. Which is a problem with a lot of other enviormental movies and T.V. shows (Captain Planet) which gives the viewer heavy handed views on why polluting is bad and you shouldn't do it! Which I agree with. Pollution is bad! But how many pieces of paper did you have to write to say that? And that includes scraps! Yeah...thought so. But with this movie, it's different. It presents an admittingly outlandish story, but a believable one no less.
It begins with war and destruction. Madness, chaos, anarchy, destruction, by the hands of the people who built the city they lived in. Until the town collapsed. Then years later, when it was nothing but a barren wasteland, a farmer, alone, without a family, and old, rebuilt the wasteland with acorns seeds, until many years later, it grew into a forest, rebuilding the surface from dead to full of life. Everyone recognize that, and it became a land mark. He didn't have a specific reason for doing it. He wasn't paid to do it, but he felt obligated to do so. I feel like that this is a message that we all can feel like we should adapt to. We don't have to do something, but we should if we believe in it. The farmer had this idea, and saw through it. That...is rather inspiring if you ask me.
