The Trolls movie plot is about small creatures who live in the perpetual state of happiness. They dance and sing and enjoy life. Other larger troll type creatures called Bergen’s are unhappy grey creatures. These Bergen’s discover that eating a Troll will make them happy. It is just like consuming an anti-depressant will make you happy if you’re a pill pushing doctor, psych, or pharmaceutical executive. So in the film these depressed Bergen’s trap the Trolls in cages just like psychiatry likes to trap people in the false sense of security of their nothing drugs. Years later the Trolls escape.
In the film a Bergen chef lures the Trolls with cowbells just like pharma lures the unsuspecting with advertising with the goal in the movie to be devoured, which is the same goal of psychiatry and the pharma frauds. Pharma’s goal is a life-time on their drugs. You can’t live without pharma right? Wrong. Eventually in the film the Trolls convince the Prince Bergen and others that it is not necessary to eat Trolls to be happy.
The irony is that the falsehood of eating Trolls or taking anti-depressants is the instrument or means to happiness. The movie ends with that your happiness is within you. It doesn’t come from another source. You have and possess sunshine in your pocket.
This is the reality of life. Life is difficult and challenging for all, but everyone has the personal ability to create their own happiness. You can drag yourself down with life’s challenges, or you can set you own course and look at difficulties as a speed bump.
The Troll movie was made by Dreamworks and distributed by 20th Century Fox. Disney’s Inside Out had somewhat of a similar lesson for kids and young adults. Hollywood maybe starting to wake up, and they are providing real lessons to real challenges.
