Kung Fu Panda: The Kaboom of Doom was recently released on 26 May 2011 and I had a new experience watching the 3D version of this movie in a JB cinema. [Cost for a weekend blockbuster: MYR 21.] Everything was fine, though I wished there was English subtitles instead.
The movies centred on Po, the Dragon Warrior, who was trying to find his identity. Who is he and what does his past consist of? Whilst there were many comedical moments throughout the movie that would pleased the young ones, the plot consists of a deeper thought focussing on the search of his identity and inner peace.
The search for inner peace was initiated by Master Shifu who wanted to further Po's training. Po masters it after he discovered his past, understood the present and decided to shape his future. He then returned to Gongmen City to confront the murdering peacock. Life is very much the same - people find happiness and peace all the time, only to fail to understand that sometimes, it will come to you - as long as you focus on doing the current things right.

The search of his identity comprises the need to know his past - where he came from, who his parents are, how his younger years were like, etc. But it came to a point where Po realises that his past does not define him as much as his present choices. Life is very much the same - it defines who you are, but does not determine who you will be. One has the power to shape his/her future, and in the case of Po, he chose to be the Dragon Warrior and save China.
