- Brief explanation of the Characters
1.Kenai(main character)-He is the youngest brother among the three brothers. He really wants to be a real man.
2.Sitka-He is the first brother.He is very faithful and tries to lead his brothers.
3. Denahi-He is the second brother . He is wise and honest.
4.Koda- Koda is a young bear and likes to talk.
5.Tanana- She is a old woman that communicates with the spirits in the sky. She suggests proper ways for the three brothers.
-Plot+ Messages(including analysis)+ my individual opinions
The story can be divided by 5 scenes.
*First Scene: The three brothers (Sitka,Denahi,Kenahi) lived happily and peacefully together in a small Indian village. One day there was a big ceremony(process of being a real man)for Kenai. He received a bear totem(guideline) that represents love in the ceremony.
After the big ceremony, the problem(the bear ate the fish and destroyed the basket that the people made) occurred. Kenai blindly followed the bear to avenge for it's fault.
-Analysis: In this scene I can see Kenai’s problem. He is doing a reckless action(following the bear because of his present angry emotion). His actions and thoughts are just based on himself. There will be a bad result because of Kenai.
*Second Scene: Kenai threw a rock to the bear first and made the bear threatened. The bear continuously attacked the brothers.So,the oldest brother sacrificed himself to save his younger brothers from the threatened bear.
-Analysis: This is the result of Kenai’s action. I think Kenai should always think one more time and have to consider about other’s mind(including even animals). If Kenai did not threw a rock to the bear, the bear will not attacked him and the brothers. The vicious circle is certainly shown in this scene.
*Third Scene(Climax part of the movie)
Kenai tries to go after the bear for his oldest brother’s revenge.
He said that (1,2,3)
1."Our brother is dead because of that monster(bear)!"(analysis:
- I think Kenai just thinks and concludes the situation only by his present emotion. In addition, he can not control his emotion(just blames the bear).Even though his brother is dead, he have to think rationally(consider the bear’s position). If he does not changes his attitudes he will never be a real man.)
In conclusion, Kenai’s hasty attitude lead to his brother’s(Sitka) death.
2. "A man would just not sit here and do nothing!"
3. "You really think love has anything to do with being a man.”
(2,3analysis: -I think Kenai has a wrong prejudice of being a real man.
He thinks that to be a real man he has to be powerful and has to fight well. He has only one wrong solution for the problem(revenging). I prefer Kenai to solve the problem with his totem(bear) representing love(thinking others, consideration, having patience)
After Kenai Killed the bear, the spirits(including Kenai’s dead brother Sitka ) changes Kenai to a bear to repent his mistake(think and act as a bear).
*Fourth Scene: Kenai transformed to a bear and he was able to hear animal’s languages. He starts a Voyage with Koda(the bear that Kenai accidently met) to the place where the lights touch the earth in order to become a human again. During the voyage, Kenai’s second brother follows Kenai to revenge his brothers death(he thinks that Bear Kenai killed Sitka and human Kenai-illusion).
-Analysis: I think Kenai starts to understand the bear’s mind and position by seeing his following second brother(the second brother’s action reflects the Kenai’s attitude when he was a human) and because he is a bear.
-“Those monsters(humans) are really scary especially those sticks” said Koda
(Analysis- This part is showing well the bears mind. I think Kenai realized the each position of the human and bears. Humans are a scary monsters to animals. Animals typically runs away when the human appears and they do not attack humans first if they do not give them harm. In this scene, I could obviously know that our human’s mistakes are very huge.(Kenai is the representative person who committed a problem related to the bears) )
*Fifth Scene
Kenai arrives at the place where the lights touch the earth. And the highlight part of this scene is when Koda talks about his adventure with her mother. The Koda’s mother was the bear that Kenai Killed. As Koda talks about her mom’s position Kenai felt a big confusion. This become the turning point of Kenai’s whole life.
For the final, Kenai now repents his mistakes and had a opportunity to be a human or a bear. He chooses to live as a bear . The bears and the humans lived happily ever after together having a good relationship with love.
Analysis- I strongly learned that even though the bears and humans can not communicate in languages but we can communicate in minds with love(considering each other, Cherish each other( every creatures are precious)
“Love” is a really important thing in life.
-Lesson : We should consider other people’s mind and we should not carried away by our emotions when we talk or do something to them.
2.Entertaining aspects
-Colours: This movie use the color very well as the situation changes.(sad,scary-cool color bright,exciting-bright color )
For example, the movie starting from 18minutes 30 seconds to 20 minutes 30 seconds Kenai is chasing the bear(fast, urgent, scary, tension). The colors are black, bit gray murky, dark blue. The colors definitely give me a scary urgent emotion by using the these colors.
In addition, the movie starting from 57minutes 20 seconds to 1 hour 30 mintues Kenai bear and the other bears are catching fish and relaxing together(bright,fascinating,happy). The colors are bright blue,bright redish and yellow.Even though blue is a cool color, the movie made the blue color more bright to fit this situation. The colors make my mind happy and fascinating.
