The sequel definitely did not disappoint, and I think it's even better than 1st one. Why? It's more dramatic, funnier, and the character of Po is more fleshed out as he sets out to find his true identity. As children left the theater all tired from laughing and popcorn overdose, I guess the morale of the story is really for us, the big boys/girls to digest and capitalize.
The movie has a lot more to offer than just silly jokes, it's about kinship, friendship, camaraderie, and the ultimate theme of the movie, power of inner peace. I was literally wiping out tears and only to burst into laughter 10 seconds later. This is the kind of emotional roller-coaster the movie makers craftily designed, and it's almost scary to think that they got all your six senses at their disposal.
Kong Fu Panda may never win an Oscar, but it's no doubt a masterpiece of its own. Mindful viewers can definitely appreciate that every detail is carefully thought out and put into the right place, like an intricate machine. And linking back to the theme of education, maybe the goal for students today is not to ultimately win an Oscar, which is avidly coveted by everyone for superficial reason, but really is to make our own little blockbuster that is filled with passion and love. And nobody says it better than our main character, Po, after all, he never sets out to be the dragon warrior, he's just passionate about Kong Fu!
And at last, as master shi fu usually says, inner peace, inner peace... ... it's time for me to kick some CFA ass!
