Learning from Kungfu Panda

on Friday, May 1, 2009



Kungfu Panda is one of animated movies made by Dreamworks, which its story, music and animation is very exciting. What impressed me from the movie is actually its moral message. I can find the examples how to behave in good manner to achieve a better life.



The major figure of the film is a panda anmed Po, which ic very fat as fond food, full of spirit but a little sloopy and is crazy about learning self defence 'Kungfu'. Though he is busy helping his father running a wellknown noodle restaurant for its great taste, he is obsessed to master the self defence 'kungfu'.

Po is very enthutiastic in watching a kungfu tournament held in his town.
Po get difficulty when he climbs stairs to see the tournament, as it is held on the top of a mount, as its fat body. With panting breath he tries and tries stepping the stairs one by one up to the top. His tough attitude and willingness so impressed master Ogway that he chooses Po as the Dragon Warrior. And surely, Po is very happy having the precious chance.

Master Shifu, a successor of master Ogway, is actually disspaointed to master Ogway's decision. He regrets why master Ogway does not choose oe of his five excellent students. But this is actually the challenge just begins, since mister Shifu attempts to kick Po out from the Kungfu school. Po is very upset since master Shifu and his five students dislike him. Some ime master Ogway advises Po, "yersterday is a history, tomorrow is a mystery but today is a gift, that is why it is called the present". Po understands what master Ogway means in order to appreciate the opportunity he has already got and ignores the negative things around him, including master Shifu hatred.

What was said by master Ogway is done seriously by Po. He tried to make Master Shifu and his five students like him by cheering up, making jokes, and showing his cooking ability. Otherwise Master Shifu still stands in his attitude. He wants to train Po only because of Master Ogway's command. Po's spirit to learn Kungfu is so amazing. He loves training together with his idol, the monkey. The training process creates Po gradually to be a great kungfu warrior and even he is the one knocking Tai Lung out.



We can learn from how Po behaves. though many people dislike him, he alwas tries to behaves well as he can. He kicks out his egoism since he does not want to loose the chance he gets. His good behavior by neglecting his negative emotion relly makes his partners like him and makes him reach his dream to be a Dragon Master very seriously.



The film, moreover, shows that Po becomes the dragon master, he has right to read the sacred scroll. But, Po got no one word in that scroll. He, surely,gets dissapointed and looses hopes. He, then, decides to return helping his father in noodle restaurant. One time Po's father telling him his secret recipes. 'There is no secret recipe. To make something to be special, you just have to believe it is special'. Po is very surprised but get an inspiration that the sacred scrol is truly empty, but he must be optimist he could beat his awaiting enemy. What can we get from the story? There is no special secret to get success. each of us has our own potention, strength and uniqueness. Just by being serious to pass the process, the willingness to do self reflection and also do the our best, then all potention in ourselves will grow to be an amzing achievment. Amin.
