I have liked this movie very
much and watched it 5/6 times with Reena and my sons. We all have liked this
and sometimes had discussed it as well. “Po” the panda has left an impact over
us. Yugaank- my son has even posted his picture on his FB profile. Sometimes I
wonder that what this character has which makes him all favourite. The success of
movie has inspired to make a sequel to this movie and it is even said that
another sequel will be made too.
So this has made me to think
and analyse about him. Once started I have realised that he could be one of the
most admiring, encouraging and challenging character having all positive
qualities with heart of gold. It is one
of the most powerful characters which tell to face the adverse with dignity. It
further motivates everyone to dream, work hard and achieve even the impossible.
He is not an ordinary fat panda but a true being with dedication, loyalty,
friendly and selfless personality. He is truly a hard nut which cannot be crack
opened. Now I would like to put examples mentioning his notable qualities.
Dreams
are asset: From the initial start of his life, he always wanted to
become a Dragon Warrior despite his short comings and other responsibilities.
If we remember that the movie starts with his move as a Dragon Warrior however
it was a dream but he continues to dream this unless and until he did not
become what he had dreamt- a Dragon Warrior.
Hard
work is the key: Once
he reached at the institute and was taken to pond by his Guru Shifu, he realised that
if he had to fulfil his dream than regular untiring practice is the way to
achieve his goal. He became complete submissive and tough learner with learning
the depth of skill. He had shown his
abilities before that when the selection for DW was going on, he along with his
cart reached at hill-top by stairs in complete exhaust state. This elaborates
his state of mind for hard working.
To
overcome the weakness: Everyone has one or another weakness and
the question is how to overcome it. The panda is very fat and does not go well
with his buddies. He has breathlessness in climbing. He even mocked for not
able to see his foot thumb. His capability is questioned when he was chosen as
DW. Sooner when he realised about these things he overcome that and become the
winner.
Learning
is the path for perfection: The panda is a keen learner. He learns
everything from kung-fu to cooking soup. Whatever he learns he put efforts in
it. It is like a close connection with heart. He never feels tired or bored
from his routine and this quality helps him to win from Tai-Lung. Remember he self
learns the grip of wushi finger. Such type of personality always wins in life.
Perfection
is the status: “Po”- the panda knows the art of doing
things with perfection. Whatever he does, he does it from the heart and put his
best efforts in doing so. It is whether making soup for friends, learning the
kung-fu or even mocking his teacher with putting noodle moustaches. Even
stealing and eating the biscuits from kitchen was not possible w/o perfection
which gave idea to his teacher to innovate the teaching technique for kung-fu.
Knowledge
is power: Po has never learnt kung-fu before but he has knowledge
about the arts. He even recognises the things in museum as he had been in that
place before. The grip of wushi finger is self-learned as even Tai-lung was not
aware about this art.
Control
over the fears: Po
knew that he cannot fight with Tai-Lung but he knew that every one’s hope is
over him and w/o fighting with him he cannot be called DW so he overcome his
fear and challenged his worst enemy for fight.
Admiring
and appreciating: How many of us admire and appreciate what around
us. When chosen as DW, he was introduced to other disciples; he appreciated
them for their skill. It has created a place for him in the team. It further
helps him in winning his temporary opponents.
Use
his opportunity as his door: when Guru chose him as DW, he did not
leave this opportunity and struggled to stay at inimical place. Even his
teacher Shifu is totally against him but he remained there till he gets his
place to him. He uses his awakening chance to learn his dream art- kung-fu.
Peace
at heart: The most important part is having peace at heart even
Shifu was surprised to know this that whatever he is looking is lies with Po.
It tells his way of life i.e. live normal, live today.
Love
your parents: The love and affection between him and his
father is example of binding with family. It has made him strong and positive
and that helps him to understand the world. It further develops other qualities
in him.
Last but not the least we all have inner strength to win in all situations.
Only the difference is level of understanding it. The winner always remains in
us so be shine in all situations.
