Horton Hears a Who!

I said it, I saw "Horton Hears a Who!", and I actually enjoyed it. Now let me try and persuade you all to believe me that this child's movie (rated G), has some larger meaning and interpretation to general society.
If you do not know anything about Horton, or have not read the original book, let me try and educate you. Horton is an elephant in a magical forest with all sorts of animals. Horton hears someone talking from a piece of pollen blowing in the wind. Horton finds a way to talk to the mayor of the town that is located on this piece of pollen. The animals in the jungle think Horton is crazy and they try to capture and kick Horton out of the forest. The town located on this piece of pollen does not believe the mayor when the mayor tells them how they are only a spec on a piece of pollen. In the end Horton and the mayor end up showing everyone that they each exist. Everyone walks away with the message that life, no matter how small, is important.
Horton exposes a major problem that our society has. American society is way to quick to judge people based on what they first hear or say. Horton was thought to be crazy to be protecting this piece of pollen from harm, but Horton was doing the right thing. No one gave Horton a chance to explain, or to listen closely, to try and understand his story. When the forest animals hear the people from the pollen town, they immediately feel terrible and resume forest life. If people suspended thoughts on how crazy it sounded to talk to pollen and believed there neighbor elephant that he is telling the truth than everyone would not be judged on how crazy or wild there words sounded but on the truth of there words.
So now the connection of Horton to Saw or to Scream would seem impossible, but its actually very simple. Saw is a torture and horror movie. Scream is a mystery turned horror movie. Horton Hears a Who! is an adventure, family, and comedy movie. In each of these movies you walk away with a lesson that you can put into your life to maybe become a better person. Saw, to value life and know how important each day can be, Scream, you might have to work together as a group to find out the answer you want, and Horton teaches us that we all need too value life no matter how small and to listen to people before you judge them. If you were to take all three messages learned from these movies you would be a more successful person.
