"Hidden" from The Adventures of Puss in Boots

This week, I decided to sign up an account for Netflix which was a brand new experience for me. After a few hours of wondering what show to watch first, The Adventures of Puss in Boots was my final choice. Sound ridiculous, a college student like me choose to watch a cartoon show, but cartoon always has a place in my heart. The show has five seasons at the moment, and I have just watched episode one of season one. However, through the music, the way the movie shape the main character, and the lessons in each conversation, I will explain why this show is worth to watch not only for children but also for adult.

First of all, the opening music knows how to follow the spirit of the cartoon. Begin with the guitar's rhythm and the monologue of introduction from Puss, the audience can right away feel the spirit of adventure. With the warm voice and the dramatic in storytelling, Puss knows the way to light the fire inside everybody. To me, after hearing the opening theme, I was being excited and felt the heat was burning inside my heart. This might be a little trick from the filmmakers. Because this show wants to focus on the little kids who are easily got passionate after listening to a vibrant music. Therefore, they will be attracted to the rest of the show which can be benefit to the film studio in increasing the viewer. Furthermore, during the fight scene, the horn and the drum will be raised. The sound of the hitting swords along with the sound of screaming people create a big contribution in describing the breathtaking fight scene.

Secondly, the way that the filmmakers establish the main character Puss is extraordinary. Always be alone, always seek for adventures, Puss somehow become an outlaw who is wanted by the government. Although he is a little orange cat, he fights like a true knight. With a pair of boots, a hat, and a sword, he creates his own reputation as a true hero who always helps the ladies and the orphanages. The filmmakers want to create Puss as a hero of the people who always fight the bad guys, rob gold and stuff from the rich, and share them with the poor.

Last and foremost, each scene in the movie leaves us some important lessons connecting to the real life. In the movie, after stealing a coin from a secret temple, which causes a serious trouble for the hidden city, Puss tried to escape from what he has done. However, at the end, he decided to stay and solve his own problem. Through his action, we can learn one thing that we cannot run forever from what we have done. We have to face it and solve it. For an outlaw and a free man, running forever is an easy choice to make, but if we want to be a hero, we have to stop running and fix our problem. Furthermore, this cartoon may reshape our perspective about the outlaw person. Although criminals usually do crazy stuff and break the law, they sometimes help others get out of deadly situation. Like in the movie, Puss might be an outlaw, but he always helps children and poor people from the tyrants.
I
n conclusion, The adventures of Puss in Boots is a wonderful cartoon show which I recommend you to watch it. Not only the sound effect is fantastic, but also the implicit meaning is priceless that you can apply it in the real life.
