#PANFU PANDA COM FREE#
Despite all the reductionisms of our age, we come to be the kind of persons we are by a curious combination of genes, upbringing, and free decisions. It’s the interplay between the two that makes you who you are. You have the parents God wanted you to have. You have the genes God wanted you to have.
No matter how horrible your back-story, you are not a freak, and your life is no accident. All things, even mysteriously those awful things that God hates, fall somehow into a secret cosmic drama in which everything works together “according to the counsel of his will” (Eph. You are who you are, and you belong where you are, because you are exactly where God intended for you to be, in order to become the person you are. If you know Christ, meditate on the providence of God in your personal story. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to meet your birth-parents or other biological relatives. If you were adopted, there is nothing at all wrong with wanting to find out as much about your background as you want.
But, as those who’ve staked our lives on the empty tomb of Jesus, we know that’s not the real world.

If you don’t know your full biological background, you can never really know who you are. In that world, the question “who are you” is primarily answered by genetic makeup. If social Darwinism were true, then these questions would be bleak. But, for children who’ve been adopted, there’s often a special sense of helplessness in the face of them. In one sense, we all face those questions, regardless of our backgrounds. One might be haunted with “Who am I” and “What if” and “Why” questions. Many (though by no means all) children who were adopted eventually ask the kinds of hard questions this film raises in the middle of all its fun and silliness.
#PANFU PANDA COM MOVIE#
My shoulders relaxed though as the movie grappled in what I found to be a helpful and basically life-affirming way with what is one of the most often disturbing aspects of adoption. I winced, not because the movie addressed adoption, but because the old goose seemed to stammer, almost with shame, when he “admitted” that his son had been adopted. The movie deals intermittently with Po seeking to answer the question, “Who am I?” It’s through finding his place in the old prophecy that he discovers his identity, and comes to peace with who he is. I guess you could say, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him (Matt. The king sought to destroy, preemptively, all the pandas to ensure that his rival would never emerge. Po discovers that there was an ancient prophecy that the wicked king would be defeated by a panda. He was found, abandoned, in a turnip crate when he was a cub. It turns out (spoiler alert) that the panda protagonist, Po, finds out that his goose father isn’t his biological Dad. In this animated film, there’s an adoption subplot that I wasn’t quite prepared for walking in. It’s just that I didn’t expect it would be Kung-Fu Panda Two. It’s not that I didn’t think there would ever be a film that might unearth some awkward and potentially traumatic family conversations. Kung Fu Panda, as a work taking place in a World of Funny Animals has a large furry fandom following who mostly focus on Tigress (and her relationship with Po).My shoulders tensed up, as I looked over at my sons, eating popcorn in the seats next to me. The film features anthropomorphic asian animal characters ( pandas, red pandas, tigers, cranes, snakes, Gee's Golden Langurs, tortoises, snow leopards and javan rhinoceros, to name a few). Kung Fu Panda is a computer-animated film that was released on June 6th, 2008 by Dreamworks.
