In 2071, humans have spread throughout the solar system. In the face of increasingly serious criminal activities, the government decided to offer rewards on television to capture various criminals. This created a new profession-"Bounty Hunter". Spike and Jeter are the bounty hunters on the "Bebop"...The
story is unfolded in the form of a unit series. Each episode is warm, exciting, regrettable, redeeming, funny, or searching , Or the story of reminiscence, or advancement, or pause, during Spike’s drifting period, one fake eye looks at the past and the other looks at the present with a real eye. In the end, he and us cannot see the future. This 98-year-old work has a very simple story and "Watanabe", which is unique among the mystic animation works at the time. When it comes to Watanabe Shinichiro, his "Watanabe style" has become a style in itself. Some people say that Watanabe's simplicity is synonymous with taste. The works he supervised are very similar, and the same is true for "Chaos Warriors". The story is clean and simple. A group of people with different personalities, due to various inevitable and accidental relationships, came together in a frolicking, regardless of the past, dreams, and purpose. The protagonist always frowns slightly and raises the corners of his mouth. Even if the deficit is too tight, he is relaxed and unrestrained. What he shows is an unconcerned mind, the ease and ease that he can afford to put down, and perhaps a sad and unforgettable past. Until the end of the song. Watanabe has repeatedly emphasized that it is good to get together and to be separated in his works. I can't help but wonder whether he has experienced too much parting in his life, so that the formation of such a relaxed and casual outlook on life is self-resolving. In any case, I like Watanabe's style very much. The kind of casualness he portrays can't help but look forward to.
An excellent and simple work like this must be different from other excellent works that pursue the depth of the story, the words, the twists and turns, or even the calculation of the mechanism. Watching "Cowboy Bebop" does not require a very high-speed head, as long as there is one to enjoy A humorous heart, a pair of eyes that appreciate western movies and a pair of ears that like music are all you need. When it comes to music, I have to mention Yoko Kanno, the master responsible for the music of "CB". This work gives Yoko a lot of freedom. The basic music style of "CB" is mainly Jazz and Blues, which incorporates a large number of European and American music elements, including folk, classical music, opera, rock music, heavy metal music, samba, Rap, Hiphop, BossaNova, Techno and even European and American pop The style of music and the scale of its production are unprecedented in other TV animations. It can be said to be a musical feast. Generally speaking, the soundtrack is just a flavoring agent for a film and television work, it cannot be used as the main raw material, but it feels very unaccustomed without it, but the soundtrack of "CB" has far exceeded the role of flavoring, it is a very powerful catalyst , If "CB" does not have such a wild music, the success of "CB" may be only half of what it is now. The ever-changing music in "CB" makes people overwhelmed. It seems to melt in mid-term when listening, and the notes are vomiting between breaths and breaths.
In fact, the entire "CB" story is trivial and fragmented. During the journey and work of the "Bebop", flashbacks inserted their respective past and mainline plots.
"Bebop" has shredded pork with green peppers, magical hallucinogenic mushrooms, and Matsusaka beef that is corrupted and mutated to run around and can sting people; there is a bird's head Spike Spiegel, and there is an uncle-class hunk Jett ‧Black, there are three things that Spike hates: hairy things, children and proud women. This hairy thing is a cute corgi. It was originally a laboratory test product, but in a job to capture the thief, he followed Spike by mistake. From then on, this very clever name is called Spike. The dog of "Einstein" came to the "Bebop"; the girl who forcibly landed on the "Bebop" had a boy named Ed, who was only 13 years old, and had the inexhaustible energy and mobility that matched her age. Just like her limbs that kept shaking like noodles; and this proud woman lost all her memories when she woke up. Even the man who helped her was to transfer the 600 million arrears to her name. It’s called Witney, and there’s more than that with a little black humor. Witney recalled: Faye Valentine, the name I gave, was taken from Valentine’s Day, and it’s my favorite of the year. Holiday. This proud and beautiful woman is called Fei Lover.
I believe that everyone who has watched "CB" can't help but mention Fei, not because of her attractive appearance, but because she most resembles a person living among us. Whether it was for Witney or the memory that was lost and recovered, Fei was so at a loss what to do. Just like her own name, the lover, she knew it was a pseudonym when she heard it, but it was indeed her only real name. After learning that she had been frozen for fifty years, she returned to her homeland, Singapore, which was already in ruins, and she could only find scenes in her memories, and her former partner was an old man in sixties, the same place. , The same person, but the feeling is different, returning to the old place and seeing the old friend again, the feeling is not the same as before. The past is so beautiful, and the past has become a trouble, so whether the past is still worth looking for, even if we can find it, we can't go back.
Fei’s attitude towards the past is far less chic than Jeter, the pocket watch that never left her body. After learning that her ex-wife had her own happy destination, she threw the watch into the river with relief, not knowing what this pocket watch carried. How many days and nights of yearning and loneliness, but to comfort Jett out of the vicious circle set by himself, two people suffering is not as happy as one, and it is better to forget each other than to forget each other. However, Jeter’s past is full of love, and Fei bears far more than love, which makes people unbearable. Only after learning everything, he has a feeling of being hollowed out, a melancholy nowhere to be found. And loneliness, a kind of bewilderment that can't be hysterical.
Perhaps in the whole "CB", the happiest person is Ed. He smiles heartlessly every day. This is the case in South America where I am having fun, in the children’s pile in the shelter, in the face. The same is true for my own biological father. Perhaps there is no simpler word to interpret such a dreamlike age than a smile. After just laughed, it's time to part ways in the end. Inside the spacecraft, Fei left the sentence "I'm sorry, because the separation was so uncomfortable, so I left alone" and left; Spike silently smoked a cigarette and stared at the big, eye-catching smiling face painted with orange paint on the deck outside the window. And ByeBye, said flatly to Jeter, Ed is gone. Then Jeter and Spike vent their anger and ate the eggs left by Ed. Outside the spacecraft, the setting sun dripped blood at dusk, and it was orange. Fei lay down on the old playground and found that he could not go back wherever he could go. Ed was inseparable from the computer on his head, followed by Ein, who would be inseparable in the future. Stan, with a smile on his face, yes, Ed is going far, far away...
In each unit play, we saw people and things of different colors, lonely satellites painted Nazca lines, pure white snow fell from the sky of Venus, crazy clowns issued invitations to nightmares, created by cosmic geomantic omen. Father and daughter meet, the machine that can see the dream, the funny transformation from cowboy to samurai, the bomber who wants to be recognized by others... Until we saw the story of Spike-I wanted to have a dream that I could never wake up. Spike’s lover is Julia, a beautiful and dangerous woman. She, Spike and his former good brother Bishas are all members of the organization "Red Dragon". Three years ago, Julia and Bishas were still lovers. After that, Spike met Julia in the pool hall. Spike was deeply attracted. After the two fell in love, they were about to leave the organization. As a result, Spike was fighting fiercely. After smashing one eye, Julia has been avoiding the organization's pursuit after helping Spike escape from the organization... The intricate organizational coup involved Julia, Spike, and Bishas who have become enemies... After Julia's death, Fei returned to the "Bebop".
Philippine: Where are you going? Why go? I remember you said that the past doesn't matter at all, I think you are bound by the past.
Spike: Because of an accident, this eye is an artificial eye. From that day on, I looked at the past with one eye and the present with one eye. What the eyes see is not real, I thought.
Philippine: Don't say this to me. You have never said anything like this before.
Spike: I wanted to have a dream that I would never wake up, but I didn't know when I woke up from the dream.
Fei: I...recovered my memory, but...nothing good at all, there is no place to go back...nothing at all, I can only go back here, and you...where are you going? Why go? Are you going to die on purpose?
Spike: I don't want to die, whether I'm still alive... I want to confirm.
In this way, the story came to the end, Fei fired five shots above her head helplessly and wept bitterly. In fact, it doesn't matter that it was indifferent to the past, but there are some stories that don't need to be told to everyone. After Spike killed Bixias, he stood on the long steps, raised his hand in a pistol shape, and "banged" and fell to the crowd. The whole play ended.
This love triangle does not have the slightest gimmick, but it runs through the entire main storyline. I think Julia and Spike’s emotions are difficult to tell because we can only speculate in the flashbacks and dialogues in the film. I once had you, which is really sad; we were in love, but I felt sad when we thought about it... Like the cat that lived a million times, Julia was the only one who made him feel meaningful in life.
There is a cat that will not die for 1 million years.
In fact, the cat died 1 million times and lived 1 million times. It is a beautiful tabby cat. One million people petted this cat, and one million people cried when the cat died.
But the cat did not cry even once.
Once, the cat was the king's cat, and the cat hated any king. The king was always at war. He put the cat in a beautiful basket and took it to the battlefield. One day, the cat was shot by a flying arrow and died. The king was holding the cat and cried. The king stopped fighting and returned to the palace and buried the cat in the palace courtyard.
Once, the cat was a sailor's cat, and the cat hated sailors. The sailor took the cat to the sea and piers all over the world. One day the cat fell into the sea. The cat couldn't swim, and it was dead. The sailor held the cat wet like a rag and cried loudly. Then, he buried the cat under the tree in the park of the remote port town.
Once, the cat was the cat of a circus magician. Cats hate some circus. The magician puts the cat in a box every day, saw it in half with a saw, and then took the undamaged cat out of the box in exchange for applause. One day, the magician missed and really saw the cat in half. The magician cried loudly, carrying the cat in half with both hands. No one applauded this time. The magician buried the cat behind the circus.
Once, the cat was the cat of a thief, and the cat hated any thief. The thief and the cat, in the dark town, turned around gently like a cat. The thief only steals from people who keep dogs. While the dog was barking at the cat, the thief pried open the safe. One day, the cat was bitten to death by a dog. The thief was holding the stolen diamond and cat, crying loudly and walking in the small town at night. Then, when he returned home, he buried the cat in the small yard.
Once, the cat was a lonely old lady's cat. Cats hate old ladies. The old lady hugged the cat every day and looked outside from the small window. The cat slept on the old lady's lap all day long. Soon, the cat died of old age. The shaky old lady held the shaky dead cat and cried all day. The old lady buried the cat under the tree in the yard.
Once, the cat was a little girl’s cat. The cat hates little girls. Little girls sometimes play with the cat on their backs, sometimes hug the cat to sleep. When she cried, she would wipe the tears with the back of the cat. One day, the cat was strangled to death by the strap on the back of the little girl. The little girl hugged the cat with its head down and cried all day. Then, she buried the cat under the tree in the yard.
The cat doesn't care about death anymore.
Once, the cat was no longer someone else’s cat. Become a wild cat.
The cat became his own cat for the first time, and the cat liked himself so much. How should I say, the beautiful tabby cat has finally become a beautiful wild cat.
Any female cat wants to be the bride of a cat. Give him a big fish, and a good mouse for him.
But the cat said: "I have died a million times! I don't eat this set!" The
cat likes herself more than anyone else.
There was only one cat without even looking at him. It was a beautiful white cat.
The cat walked over and said, "I've died a million times!"
"Oh." The white cat only said so.
The cat is a little angry, how should I put it, because he likes himself so much.
On the second and third day, the cats all walked to the white cat's side and said, "You haven't finished it yet, right?"
"Oh." The white cat just said so.
One day, the cat turned three somersaults in front of the white cat and said, "I, I used to be a circus cat."
"Oh." The white cat just said so.
"I, I have died 1 million times..."
Halfway through, the cat asked the white cat: "Can I stay by your side?"
" Okay, " said the white cat.
In this way, he stayed with the white cat.
The white cat gave birth to many cute kittens.
The cat no longer said "Me, I have died a million times..." The
cat likes the white cat and the kittens more than he likes himself. The kittens grew up very quickly and left one by one.
"They are all beautiful wild cats."
"Yes," said the white cat, and then there was a gentle "gurgling" sound in her throat.
The white cat has become a grandmother.
The cat was more gentle with the white cat, and there was a "gurgling" sound in its throat.
How the cat wants to live with the white cat forever!
One day, the white cat lay quietly in the cat's arms and did not move.
The cat hugged the white cat and shed big tears. The cat cried for the first time.
From night to morning, and from morning to night, crying and crying, the cat cried 1 million times.
Morning, evening... At noon one day, the cat's crying ceased.
The cat also lay motionless beside the white cat quietly.
The cat never got up again...
"Is it a dream?"
"Yes, it's a nightmare..."
See you space cowboy.Life is but a dream.
See you space cowboy.You're gonna carry that weight……
