Master Oogway's conversation with Po

473
00:29:35,565 --> 00:29:39,486
I see you have found
the Sacred Peach Tree of Heavenly Wisdom.

474
00:29:39,569 --> 00:29:40,654
Oh!

475
00:29:41,738 --> 00:29:43,615
Is that what this is? I am so sorry.

476
00:29:43,699 --> 00:29:46,159
I thought it was just
a regular peach tree.

477
00:29:46,910 --> 00:29:51,081
I understand. You eat when you are upset.

478
00:29:51,623 --> 00:29:55,210
Upset? I'm not upset.
W-- W-- What makes you think I'm upset?

479
00:29:56,878 --> 00:29:58,755
So, why are you so upset?

480
00:30:02,592 --> 00:30:05,762
[exhales] I probably sucked more today

481
00:30:05,887 --> 00:30:07,848
than anyone in the history of kung fu.

482
00:30:08,181 --> 00:30:11,143
In the history of China.
In the history of sucking!

483
00:30:11,685 --> 00:30:13,645
-Probably.
-And the Five!
484
00:30:13,937 --> 00:30:16,523
Man, you should've seen them!
They totally hate me.

485
00:30:17,065 --> 00:30:18,066
Totally.

486
00:30:18,191 --> 00:30:21,361
How is Shifu ever going
to turn me into the Dragon Warrior?

487
00:30:23,905 --> 00:30:25,574
I mean, I'm not like the Five.

488
00:30:25,824 --> 00:30:29,244
I've got no claws, no wings, no venom.

489
00:30:29,536 --> 00:30:32,497
Even Mantis has those... thingies.
490
00:30:33,999 --> 00:30:36,835
Maybe I should just quit
and go back to making noodles.

491
00:30:40,672 --> 00:30:42,507
Quit, don't quit.

492
00:30:43,050 --> 00:30:45,302
Noodles, don't noodles.

493
00:30:46,845 --> 00:30:50,932
You are too concerned
with what was and what will be.

494
00:30:51,641 --> 00:30:52,976
There's a saying...

495
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,896
"Yesterday is history,

496
00:30:56,104 --> 00:30:58,357
tomorrow is a mystery,

497
00:30:58,982 --> 00:31:01,109
but today is a gift."

498
00:31:01,818 --> 00:31:03,945
"That is why it is called the present."

And
Oogway Ascends
650
00:42:35,053 --> 00:42:36,721
-Master! Master!
-[Oogway] Hmm?

651
00:42:36,929 --> 00:42:41,059
I-- I-- I have-- It's--
It's very bad news.
652
00:42:41,392 --> 00:42:43,227
Ah, Shifu.

653
00:42:43,853 --> 00:42:46,981
There is just news.
There is no good or bad.

654
00:42:47,607 --> 00:42:50,485
Master, your vision.
Your vision was right.

655
00:42:51,027 --> 00:42:54,113
Tai Lung has broken out of prison.
He's on his way.

656
00:42:55,865 --> 00:42:57,450
That is bad news...

657
00:42:58,743 --> 00:43:02,622
if you do not believe
that the Dragon Warrior can stop him.

658
00:43:03,039 --> 00:43:07,376
The panda? Master, that panda
is not the Dragon Warrior.

659
00:43:07,502 --> 00:43:10,463
He wasn't meant to be here!
It was an accident.

660
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:12,965
There are no accidents.

661
00:43:13,091 --> 00:43:16,761
[sighing heavily] Yes, I know.
You've said that already.

662
00:43:17,512 --> 00:43:21,224
-Twice.
-Well, that was no accident, either.

663
00:43:21,933 --> 00:43:24,102
-Thrice.
-My old friend,

664
00:43:24,644 --> 00:43:28,856
the panda will never fulfill
his destiny, nor you yours,

665
00:43:29,357 --> 00:43:32,485
until you let go
of the illusion of control.

666
00:43:32,944 --> 00:43:33,945
Illusion?

667
00:43:34,487 --> 00:43:36,989
Yes. Look at this tree, Shifu.
668
00:43:37,448 --> 00:43:40,201
I cannot make it blossom when it suits me,

669
00:43:40,576 --> 00:43:43,663
nor make it bear fruit before its time.

670
00:43:44,163 --> 00:43:46,082
But there are things we can control.

671
00:43:48,042 --> 00:43:50,461
I can control
when the fruit will fall. [grunts]

672
00:43:50,628 --> 00:43:51,629
[chuckles]

673
00:43:51,712 --> 00:43:52,713
And I can control...
674
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:54,006
[grunts]

675
00:43:54,590 --> 00:43:55,925
...where to plant the seed.

676
00:43:56,968 --> 00:43:59,137
That is no illusion, Master.

677
00:44:00,888 --> 00:44:02,390
Ah, yes.

678
00:44:02,974 --> 00:44:05,226
But no matter what you do

679
00:44:05,351 --> 00:44:07,645
that seed will grow to be a peach tree.
680
00:44:08,312 --> 00:44:10,731
You may wish for an apple or an orange,

681
00:44:11,399 --> 00:44:12,900
but you will get a peach.

682
00:44:13,192 --> 00:44:16,028
But a peach cannot defeat Tai Lung!

683
00:44:16,904 --> 00:44:18,948
Maybe it can.

684
00:44:19,699 --> 00:44:22,160
If you are willing to guide it.

685
00:44:22,535 --> 00:44:23,828
To nurture it.

686
00:44:24,453 --> 00:44:25,705
To believe in it.

687
00:44:26,205 --> 00:44:28,249
But how? How?

688
00:44:28,416 --> 00:44:30,084
I need your help, Master.

689
00:44:30,501 --> 00:44:33,838
No, you just need to believe.

690
00:44:34,922 --> 00:44:36,549
Promise me, Shifu.

691
00:44:37,842 --> 00:44:39,886
Promise me you will believe.

692
00:44:40,720 --> 00:44:43,806
I... I will try.

693
00:44:44,974 --> 00:44:45,975
Good.

694
00:44:48,603 --> 00:44:50,188
My time has come.

695
00:44:52,899 --> 00:44:56,277
You must continue your journey without me.

696
00:44:57,361 --> 00:44:59,697
What-- What-- What-- What are you-- Wait!

697
00:45:01,157 --> 00:45:02,158
Master!

698
00:45:03,284 --> 00:45:04,702
You can't leave me!
699
00:45:08,623 --> 00:45:10,791
You must believe.

700
00:45:12,501 --> 00:45:13,544
Master!

1. Movie Overview: Kung Fu Panda (2008)

Genre: Animated Action/Comedy, Family Film
Directors: John Stevenson, Mark Osborne
Production: DreamWorks Animation
Setting: Ancient China (stylized, fictional)
Plot Summary: The movie tells the story of Po, an overweight and clumsy panda
who dreams of becoming a kung fu master. Despite his lack of skill and physical
ability, Po is chosen as the Dragon Warrior, destined to protect the Valley of Peace
from the villain Tai Lung. Po's journey is filled with humorous and heartfelt
moments, as he learns about perseverance, believing in himself, and the true
meaning of being a warrior.
2. Character Profiles
Master Oogway: A wise, elderly tortoise and the spiritual leader of the Valley of
Peace. He is calm, insightful, and deeply philosophical, often using metaphor and
indirect speech to convey his wisdom. His guidance to both Po and Shifu reflects his
belief in destiny and the power of letting go.
Po: The protagonist, a lovable but unskilled panda who works in his family's noodle
shop. Despite his lack of training, Po is chosen as the Dragon Warrior. He struggles
with self-doubt but learns valuable lessons about perseverance and self-acceptance.
Master Shifu: Po’s kung fu master and the mentor to the Furious Five. He is initially
skeptical of Po’s potential as the Dragon Warrior but later learns from Oogway’s
wisdom about letting go of control and believing in Po.
Tai Lung: The main antagonist of the movie, a fierce and skilled warrior who was
once Shifu’s student. He becomes consumed by the desire to be the Dragon Warrior,
leading to his imprisonment and eventual escape.
3. Scene 1: Master Oogway’s Conversation with Po

ability to become the Dragon Warrior. He encounters Master Oogway at the Sacred
Peach Tree of Heavenly Wisdom.
Key Themes:
Self-doubt and Self-worth: Po expresses his frustration and doubt about being
chosen as the Dragon Warrior.
Philosophical Wisdom: Oogway imparts a profound lesson about focusing on the

today is a gift,” helps Po reframe his mindset and focus on the now.

futile. He uses metaphors about nature to illustrate this point, telling Shifu that some
things, like the growth of a peach tree, are beyond control.
Letting Go: Oogway encourages Shifu to let go of his need for control and to trust in
Po's destiny.
Direct and Indirect Speech Acts: Oogway uses indirect speech to nudge Shifu
toward introspection, while Shifu’s direct speech reflects his desperation and
uncertainty.
