Kung Fu Panda 2

Plot

Kung Fu Panda 2 is the sequel to the highly acclaimed animated film, Kung Fu Panda. Directed by Jennifer Yuh Nelson, the movie takes its cue from the original while introducing new characters and a compelling narrative that delves deeper into the story of Po, the Dragon Warrior. The film begins with the peaceful China under Po's reign as the Emperor's protector, utilizing his incredible kung fu skills to maintain harmony within the country. Po, however, finds himself struggling to comprehend his newfound responsibilities, questioning his past as the son of a goose named Mr. Ping. Po's introspection is soon disrupted by a ruthless new villain, Lord Shen, a power-hungry peacock who seeks to regain control over China. This ancient foe intends to use his mesmerizing array of cunning tactics and destructive tools, including a deadly new projectile known as the "Chariot of Thunder." Shen has two identical dragons as his minions that can be swapped unrecognizingly resembling the Dragon Warrior to make plans and kill people under the guise of Po. The dragons emit a different body frequency making their tails look lighter and darker. While gathering intelligence on Shen's operation, Po discovers that the peacock has indeed created the "Chariot of Thunder," a metal storm that poses an enormous threat to China. Fearing his dark past and whether he may let innocents down again, Po finds himself at a mental crossroads and sets off to understand his backstory better. Mr. Ping reveals more about Po's family, pushing Po to return to Chi, the mountain town where Po grew up. There, Po engages with Master Thundering Rhino, a grizzled old yet valuable fighting master. The villagers help him learn about his family. A tragic childhood memory surfaces that forces Po to recollect the events that led him to be separated from his father, Mr. Ping, the goose. Master Thundering explained how and why Po was separated from the goose family. In an effort to help his friends learn kung fu, Ping abandoned Po at a burning house at a critical moment, rather than save him which may cause trouble that time is full of danger for your son, Po gets found and adopted by Master Oogway's favorite animal, the goose but gets adopted again, because Po said nothing again like Master's decision to do what you are passionate about not your real father. Master Ping, seeing that his son's present endeavors could be affected by these memories, encourages Po to leave even more so that China will be safe from Shen's conquest. In the end, the decision posed before Po becomes clear: conquer one's past and rise to the situation. With newfound self-assurance, Po rejoins the Furious Five - Monkey, Viper, Crane, and Tigress - to dismantle Lord Shen's operation. Their ultimate goal is to prevent Shen from unleashing the devastating "Chariot of Thunder" on the innocent citizens of China. The Furious Five engage Shen's group of armed swordsmen and the chaos erupts, with Po and the Furious Five dealing with their enemy despite being nocked back a few time in the battle field. Knowing what made him, the Dragon Warrior empowered his resolution to shield the powerless with dedication to friendship - forging bonds with his mentors - to redeem himself. Meanwhile, Po becomes real aware of a distress warning when he realises what the enemy is making – this will break all the unbreakable things on a full scale and ensure complete destruction, then he goes at full strength not afraid of further odds which make his friends hope that the underdog is victorious in the end. One can deduce that he actually is the underdog a true true hero. The magnificent Dragon Warrior, in time, will show the bad results that comes with the massive new technology. Just as the final battle unfolds, Po recounts his emotions in front of Master Oogway, sharing his anxiety about not having knowledge on his own identity, his powerlessness of the kung-fu he received from masters and also what else makes the Dragon warrior himself in the first place. The question that has weighed into his mind and had held him back. At the same time as Oogway is dealing with the emotions of the hero, then he uses an artistic, comedic technique by reminiscing his very own past and how life happens to you - the time, day, etc. After making this allusions to life we tell this to the audience and are getting a little smile from observing it while actually reflecting it within our lives, a full strength comes at the end and Po senses all emotions from the audience - when it has really ended before beginning through the technique since this process could come after explaining and at the later part of a movie's ending. Moreover, Po finally comes up with a revelation related to his entire existence – after life Po knows the truth about his being found and not being a bird of any geese family the goose family that was shown in the past are from the story Po was shown living in that family 28 years prior giving him the opportunity to see, or live what he went through.
