Weird

So I have noticed a general trend. In myself. I previously wrote I never cry in movies. Rarely cry in general.

Except then I realized, its actually just an extremely rare movie that makes me cry and they're always dealing with NON-humans. haha, that's right, for example:
observe the trend:

The Land Before Time (when Little-foot's mother dies)
Dumbo (when his Mom's chained up)
Lion King (when Mufasa dies)
Flipper (when Elijah Wood forces Flipper to swim back to the ocean, but he doesn't wanna leave)
A. I.Artificial Intelligence (about the robot kid, who wants to stay in Heaven with his human mom)
King Kong
March of the Penguins


So all of these movies involve either a
animal-animal interaction, robot-human interaction or a animal-human interaction.

Strange.

okay,so i was thinking about this cuz of narnia, how the animals are so emotion-evoking, and it occurred to me that it's because in the movie, they're not ANIMLAS....they have human souls...which makes them human in the most essential definition of the term....



i think they are animals. now, having read the book and seen the movie, I am not sure if it was Lewis' intent to give animals human souls, but to make them individually of their own order of being... the beginning of narnia the magicians nephews explains the beginning of narnia where aslan breathes life into the talking animals, and they are seperate from humans, but have interaction and cuture and a soul in common, but still their own culture, sortof like Frnech culture versus Italian, so they a soul in common with us, but its not a human soul put into them, its their own.
