Studio Ghibli’s work often has themes about conflicts between man and the natural world. Pick one of the films they produced and explain how this theme is integrated into the story. Which characters represent the natural world? How is the conflict shown? Is it resolved?
A film that I think best represents this question is the movie Life of Pi. The reason why I think this film answers these questions is because throughout the film you can see the conflict between the main protagonist and the animal and throughout the film you see the struggles that both parties involved. In this case a boy and a wild animal and as time goes on you see the relationship between the boy and the tiger progressively get better opposed to how it was at the beginning. In this case the conflict is the need to survive and to find a way home. As well the way the conflict is resolved is by the end of the film the boy and the tiger form a bond and reflect all the obstacles they had to overcome. In order to survive that being said I feel this film is a good representation of how there is conflict between man in this case a boy and natural world in this case a lion and how it’s resolved.
