Cartoon "Mowgli": Model of raising a child in the Soviet and American versions

Recently I watched the Soviet cartoon "Mowgli" - honestly, just tightened. I pay attention to several important points, which can be called "the programming of values».

It was interesting, and found online American counterpart "Mowgli". It's amazing how different these pictures! And how different people they educate!





CHARACTERS

In the Soviet version (SW), all characters are charismatic and have it's own charisma and unique dynamics, way, while in amerikosskoy version (AB), all the characters are the same - the same move, the same say, devoid of any charisma and look jesters

Due to this, in the NE is clearly seen on the implementation of the idea is its strengths.

CB - all very profound and emotionally powerful cartoon. There intelligibly speaks of friendship, mutual assistance, where each team plays on its strengths: Kaa - not engaged in a fight, but he is wise, and offers strategic solutions (to find the blade, beat red dogs); Bagheera - simply an ideal of femininity, I would add - the alpha female: she is strong and dangerous and at the same time graceful and gentle, playful and spontaneous, but at the same time, the sharp-witted and wise (it was she who "razrulit" theme with the rescue Mowgli, giving bull crowd flocks to the meeting); Ball - a great teacher; Akella - wise and just leader; Wolf-mother ready to give their lives for a foster child; Sherkhan - strong, fierce and cunning, he does not play by the rules and as a result gets his due for it; Jackal is full of fear and, perhaps, the most vile character in the cartoon.

All the characters mature, charismatic and clearly see its place in the jungle.

The AB - anything like that just yet. All the characters are equally stupid and "ridiculous." Despite the different plastics, all have the same faces and emotions. The concept of the way upside down - the monkey wants to become a man, elephant walk formation, Mowgli and he can not decide who should he be, who to emulate. And Bagheera, in general, man!



ATMOSPHERE AND CONCEPT

In CB, of course, everything is not so colorful ... and harmoniously. Severe Soviet realism - this is probably negative. But it is in its own symbolic, since it allows easier mentally distracted and see the essence of the cartoon:

Look for their strengths and find their place in society. The strength of the friendship, the team, the famous "We're the same blood", cooperation in solving the problem.

Together you can accomplish so much more than that alone. The team - this is important and useful. Again, respect for individuality. Everyone does what he does best.

Good triumphs over evil in the end. Cartoon taught to be honest and strong and to play on the bright side. For darkness is defeated will be required. Often the characters are going to die and were ready to fight to the end for what they hold dear, and their fate has been awarded for bravery - the situation is solved peacefully, or (as the council) or in their favor (as at the end of the cartoon)
.
Courage and honor are awarded. Dishonor, cowardice and cunning - is punished
.
All work: porcupine roll pumpkin hunt wolves and learn the bear teaches leader leads, and so on (!). Conclusion: Work - and get a result
. In the US all the cartoon "lupasyat" and "Stebut" each other, and it is like a "fun": the general concept (idea), the movie kind of just entertainment. The atmosphere of contention, there is no consensus, selfishness, each acting in its own interests. The idea: sing, dance, "to temper their needs" - and everything will be fine. At first glance, it is also a good message, a positive was, but very much it looks like a campaign to entertainment rather than creative work.

The theme of friendship is also in AB. However, there is every character wants to get something from Mowgli, or impose their point of view. The battle with the tiger in the end also a fun and easy. And Mowgli behaves there is very peculiar, but on this later.

And now the most important: CHARACTER AND ITS RELATIONSHIP

The CB Mowgli develops over several episodes. He increasingly reveals its strengths, increasingly understands who he is. He's getting stronger, smarter, faster. He also becomes leader of the pack, and the invasion of the enemy wins, and gets the knife, and he wins a tiger with his bare hands.




First he learns, as befits a child, but it soon becomes independent, he makes decisions, he is active, enterprising and savvy. He behaves bravely and kept adequately.

The AB Mowgli - the consumer. He's moody and lonely. He can not find his place in life. It tries to be a bear, the elephant, the neck. Morality as it is obvious - whether the person whom you and it should be, but the general emotional background it creates a sense of search, and even despair, pumping conflict. And it is solved? At the end of Mowgli does not itself take a decision to go to the people and "conducted" on the precocious "sexy girl" ...




All the cartoon he was sent to care about him, he's managed: the feeling that the choice at Mowgli is to anyone to join, to whom to entrust oneself. Mowgli did not solve anything, always decide for him from the very beginning to the very end. Those. specified image consumer driven, not an independent person.

The CB Mowgli sincerely friends with the characters, to help them, and they work together to solve any problem. If fooled, somehow very kindly. All of the positive characters get along with each other and work as a team, set specific goals and reach them.

The AB characters quarrel among themselves, divided Mowgli, as if he had no choice (and it really just is not), and everyone wants to satisfy his ego through it. Characters cowardly as himself Mowgli. And all the characters are neurotic, hysterical and over-emotional - they have no effect, web, they often change their decisions are inconsistent, the word is quite chaotic and lost
.
Maul himself in the NE respects his brothers, protects them, listens to their wisdom, they support each other and work together.
The AB Mowgli forever alone, repels other characters; the conflict is based on the fact that nobody can be trusted.

The final scene




The CB Mowgli grew and evolved from a fun full of energy-frog into a handsome boy handsome man, decent, strong, experienced. The apogee of its maturity it becomes a pretty epic and brutal victory over Sherhanom. Mowgli and his brothers come up with a plan and implements it, fights with Sherhanom one on one, and even losing a blade in battle, yet triumphs - with his bare hands. Winning the final, as evidenced by the skin on the stone. Then Mowgli falls in love and realizes that he can not live forever in the jungle. Then he decides to get away from the pack and leave "his high office" for a new life. Pack says goodbye to him and accept his choice, finally saying that if you need anything - we are always with you
.
Noteworthy and the scene with the girl Mowgli. First, they are "adults". The girl, seeing luxury Mowgli, drops and runs a pitcher, turning over and over again. She is afraid of him, and showing interest. Mowgli himself also runs and weeps on his chest Ball, because it awakened the feeling of love, and he realizes that it is time to go to the people.

Those. achieving the maximum in the jungle, the leader of the pack, the winner of the main enemy is very cunning, goes for the love to new heights. I am confident that he will succeed there. That's the story of progress and bold move forward. Last frame - adult, strong and strong-willed Mowgli says goodbye to the brothers on the background of the village, moving to a new life
.
Now let's see what happens in AB:

Mowgli as the boy was thin, and stayed - he did not grow up, did not evolve. He is a child, a child - moody, confused, incredulous and lonely. He is looking for someone to join more - after all "last friends" deceived him ...

Here he meets vultures, and finds it Sherkhan. New friends cowardly run away, but Mowgli is not lost, as if it were not afraid to fight. Sher Khan as the villain of the typical American eats at once hero and decides to talk to him and play with. A typical mistake villain.

At this point, there is Baloo and rushes into the fray, Mowgli runs away, but then finds a stick and beats the tiger until it is immobilized, however, when a tiger is released, Mowgli runs away screaming "help". Then accidentally lightning strikes the tree until Sherkhan distract Vultures, Mowgli binds to the tail of his stick, and Sherkhan cowardly runs away ...

Ball seemed to die: tearful scene where the bear hears posthumous speech Bagheera and gets on the face of it when everyone will know that Ball alive (!). Then they go into the jungle. But Mowgli saw the girl and decided to consider it. Ball says, "Do not go there - all of them the problem" (set by the ratio of the other sex). However, Mowgli is not a child is carried out, the girl hypnotizes his beautiful eyes, and Mowgli finally in a trance come after her. Girl drops the pitcher to his donёs Mowgli, and he again conducted and bears. Balu shouts: "Hammer, go to the jungle!", But Mowgli shakes his shoulders and goes, besotted with the girl
.
Characters sing a song, how cool to live in the jungle - the end
.
Just a couple of comments. The CB main plans - a person, and it is not in the frame of "soft spots". While it is in the AV of the body plays an important role constantly figuring foreground. The CB I did not see frankly silly characters. The AB - all the characters are stupid. Noteworthy is also the scene with elephants - one on the behavior is similar to the zombies and constantly eats; in another scene - "rear view", in the third - a hysterical wife yelling at husband
arrogant.
TOTAL

Soviet cartoon brings a strong, courageous, brave, savvy independent person who sets goals and achieves them. It uses the power of the collective. It takes into account the strengths of the allies and enemies, and operates safely and efficiently. Sample relations - strong, confident leader, a man who is capable of deep passionate feelings. The role of the boy - become a man
.
American cartoon educates slave. Moody distrustful consumers prone to neuroses, and loneliness, suspicion and deceived. Which is always guided by someone. Who does not know their strengths, do not make plans, do not make decisions. For he always decides his conduct. In the end it turns out that he is not the main character, and the main characters - a carefree bear and Bagheera-man, and who are running the show in the jungle
.
And by the way, with regards to humor. Humor allows not to perceive the information critically and to expand the scope of what is permitted: this is a joke, it's okay. So let's install and images is very good it is through humor.

When a child watching the cartoon, he is still very little of their experience to decide what is normal and what is not. When he sees that in the cartoon characters behave in any way, and no one condemns - the child receives this model of behavior as normal. And he models in his life what he sees. The child is looking Soviet cartoon will think that courage and honor - this is normal, to set goals and reach them - this is normal, to fight and win - this is normal. He is the creator and author of his own destiny - it is normal
.
Child looking cartoon American will think that when you run - this is normal, betrayal and loneliness - this is normal, and moodiness neurosality - this is normal. Being a customer - this is normal
.
Now think that you see yourself and your kids (his nephews, brothers and sisters). What images do they see? What models of behavior for them to become normal? What they embody in their lives? And that embody yourself?

This is education, it is the image of the sc. Today they watch Disney cartoons, listen to pop music tomorrow, and the day after their ideals and values ​​become selfish and consumer color, characteristic of Western culture. Everything is more serious than it seems. Ignoring the problem, we do not avoid it, but simply to hand over power to those who does not give up on it, that's all. Through information - movies, cartoons, music, software, games, and so on - the imposition comes coveted someone patterns of behavior. This especially affects children. So be careful. Create a bright, strong, brave, honest. Filter the information flows for themselves and, above all, for their children.
