two worlds, one family.

what does 'two worlds, one family' mean? To me, it means that no matter where you go, even if it is another city, or another country, you will always belong to one family, no matter what. Everyone belongs to one family, even if said family is not biological, and nobody can change that fact. So embrace those who you truly belong with, and do not let anyone try and change that.


Two messages from the movie 'Tarzan':

A message from the movie Tarzan is that there is more than one way of life, understand it before truly judging it. This is because the understanding of the ways different people [in this case, animals] live, and the changes they face as they are faced with an ‘assassination attempt’. I saw this in the scene where Clayton is first seen in the forest, with Jane and her father, and Clayton is shooting down all animals he sees, without trying to understand them. This is also shown in the scene where Kerchak first meets Tarzan, whilst Tarzan is a young baby, Kerchak says ‘he doesn’t belong, all because of his lack of hair/fur’, although that is later proven to be false. It makes me think about how much people are misjudged in the real world, especially those who are Indian/ pakistani/ Asian, etc. Society is well known for judging those who don't look like them, even though we are all of the same species, people refuse to understand different cultures, and push those that are not like them aside to rot. In an ideal world, everybody gets along, both humans and animals, people of different cultures are living in harmony, judgement is a lot less than it is today, and even though we are of different cultures, we are all the same.


A message from the movie Tarzan is that you can be apart of many different cultures, but you belong to one true family. This is because of the life of Tarzan, how he is human, but his one true family is with the Gorillas. I saw this throughout the entire movie, were Tarzan starts of as a human child, living with people, that is until they are killed. He is adopted by Kala, a Gorilla who had recently before lost her son. Tarzan thrives to be one with the Gorillas, but when he meets Jane, her father, and Clayton, he begins to become one with their culture, all while still staying to the fact that his one true home is with the Gorillas in the forest. It makes me think about how people are discouraged into staying with a certain culture, becoming one of them, when people have a true family to look after, even if it isn't biological.

  1. Great post, Kerri-anne!
    I enjoyed reading your explanation of the messages in the movie, as well as your personal thoughts.
    I like how you brought it back into the real world, as well. I agree that the world will be a better place if we can understand each other better.
    You could improve your final paragraph by saying "Another message from the movie is..."
