On the edge of the dark and cold city, there is a terrifying slaughterhouse. Pigs are fed and transported here, and what awaits them is to be slaughtered and become food for humans.
In the wrong shade, a small pig that has not yet grown up is transported here. It doesn't want to be human food at birth, so the piglet tries to change its fate.
Anime "Pig Life"
The anime "Pig Life" is an anime short film with only 7 minutes and 15 seconds in length. There is no shot of this anime suitable for young children, but adults will immediately know what a cruel story this anime full of black humor tells.
In the anime, after the piglet escapes from the slaughterhouse, it is stunned by the fate of its kind, even outside the slaughterhouse, there are many humans eating its kind, how should the piglet change its fate as a human thing?
Piggy is panicked and inadvertently comes to a pet store, which makes Piggy see the dawn of survival.
Humans are not all cruel, they are very kind to the small animals in the pet store, and they will take their favorite small animals home to raise. Piggy's heart was finally touched by this beautiful and chance to live, and he immediately put it into action if he wanted to live.
Piglet sneaks into the pet store, and through continuous efforts and flattery, only hopes that he can be taken away by humans like a pet.
Life gives the piglet in the anime a glimmer of hope for survival, but the humans who create people and enter the pet store have never bought the piglet.
Fortunately, the pig is very clever, and it quickly realizes that humans choose pets regularly. People take away pets only take away pets that are highly compatible with their appearance and temperament. For example, a person with eyes like a goldfish will buy a goldfish as a pet; a person with a mouth like a parrot will take away a pet like a parrot.
When the piglet in the anime discovers the rules of human selection of pets, it strives to play the role of goldfish, parrots and other pets in front of the guests who come to the pet shop. But until the pet store closed, no one took the piglet away.
After the piglet tried to put it into the water, it finally couldn't hold back the cry.
At this time, the pet shop owner walked over to the piglet and took the piglet in his arms. Piglet raised his tearful eyes and found that the pet owner's nose was similar to it, and piglet finally broke into a smile and revealed a warm smile.
But can piglets change their fate?
The answer is no. It was made into a roast pig by the pet shopkeeper.
After the pet shop owner took the piglet away, the piglet had hope in his heart. However, the later roast pig brought deeper despair to the comic friends.
The piglet strives, it smiles, and its desperate survival makes the audience laugh. But when the tragic ending was announced, it immediately put a pessimistic and black coat for the anime "Pig Life".
The ending of the anime makes many people unacceptable, and many people think that hard work will be successful, but "Pig Life" tells the audience: after hard work, it does not mean that it will necessarily succeed, and after hard work, it may also be self-digging.
Anime can not only bring joy to people, but also let people experience something new after watching anime.
The piglet in the anime "Pig Life" works hard and only wants to change the fate of not becoming food, but in the end it still fails. The same is true of the three-dimensional real society, although many people do not want to admit this, let alone admit that the reality is so cruel, but the anime "Pig Life" shows it bluntly in front of people
With a cruel ending, anime breaks through the first-line gap between two-dimensional animation and three-dimensional reality, so that people realize that the beauty and cruelty of the world are only a line of separation.
The piglet in the anime can imitate other pets in the pet store, indicating that it is undoubtedly a smart piglet. For that matter, its skill is far superior to other pets, which is why the audience was happy to see how hard it worked.
Pigs are pigs, food for humans.
This idea is deeply ingrained in the human mind, no matter how smart the piglet in the anime is, it cannot be easily changed, which is the stubborn prejudice of human beings.
No matter how hard the pig tries, no matter how smart and cute it is, in the eyes of the world, the pig is a pig, and no matter how smart it is, it is only a pig. This kind of prejudice, for everyone, seems to be no stranger, in real life, there will always be a variety of prejudices.
There is a movie whose protagonist is also a piglet, a piglet as smart as the piglet in the anime "Pig Life". With the help of its best friend Spider, it escapes the fate of becoming human food.
It can be seen that even if the ending of the anime "Pig Life" is more cruel, it cannot be used as an example to deny the possibility of other beautiful existence.
I believe that making efforts to reap success is the majority of the situation in this world, and success can only be reaped without giving up, not being discouraged, and not losing.
