Last night I saw Dumbo which was alright, not the best acted or best written. I understood the message to be not letting your differences or flaws stop you from reaching great heights, but I don't feel that it was properly explored. I want to pick up where the film left off. Something becoming more reinforced in the mainstream, or at least from my perspective and consumption of pop culture, that "different is good". Society is encouraged to let its freak flag fly because we are fireworks and born that way. The message is present in practically every other computer animated movie, so the question I wonder is, "Does the message need repeating so often?" Not every person wants to watch or even has access to these culturally relevant art forms, but could use a little reminding. Countries outside the US even try to dismantle the spirit of expressed individuality. Inside our borders the beauty/Instagram industry send conflicting messages between being yourself within the confines of a social media aesthetic. That being said, proudly displaying your quirks/flaws/gifts, whatever label you use to mean the same thing, becomes almost a rebellious act. Rebels typically have "badass" connotations, so accepting yourself in your totality is being a badass. We should all give it a try, it could be revolutionary!
