Live to death

There are 51 episodes in the 03 edition and 64 episodes in the 09 edition. Today, when I completed the six hundred episodes of Pirates in two months, it is easy to make up dozens of episodes. The theme is blood and inspiration that cannot escape, but there is neither a blunt educational dialogue nor a strong expression of will as if the protagonist is going to brainwash the audience. Of course, this should also be with Jun’s destiny, brother’s trip, The dark theme of desire is related. After the emergence of "artificial humans" as opposed to "humans", the two-dimensional characters involved in this circle almost have to face a problem. Facing this group of immortal, immortal and almost invincible humanoids, this kind of helplessness Where is the value and meaning of fragile and insignificant human beings? Such a heavy theme is faintly presented in the animation, and I personally don’t think that the second dimension can take on more complicated things such as philosophical thinking or the meaning of life. I am full of emotion.
The evaluation of 09 is generally higher than that of 03, which means that 09 is loyal to comics and the like. But I do prefer 03 myself. Whether it is the meaning of being a "person", the revolutionary friendship that is difficult to give up, or the struggle to live within the system if you want to change the system, 03 will give its own answers in a limited and shorter episode. And the seven stories of man-made human beings all unfolded well. Sloth, as the artificial "mother" of the brothers' failure, was finally reconstituted into ethanol and volatilized in the air. This is the most beautiful look I can't forget. Lust raised his head and said faintly, "I used to be an Ishubaru woman." "So, it turns out that I (want to become a human) just to die?" The biggest difference of the 09 version is the introduction of the new country, but I don’t agree with how much it adds to the film. If you use comics to take up the length of the film, obviously there is nothing to say, but as an animation, you can see the new When the setting of country began to appear, I was really tired. Of course, this must also be related to the theme bias of 09. The remake is obviously more inclined to keywords commonly used in some island-country film and television dramas... For example, the weak will feed on the weak, the growth, the importance of family, friends, and partners. You are not old or dead, your King Kong is not bad, your hermaphrodite gets the moon and the sun to become a complete existence like a god, and I am small, I am helpless, I will make mistakes, I will be scarred, my life has limits, but I have companions, I Having a family, this is my pride and pride as a human being, you can't realize it. 03 is like asking a question about the meaning of life, and 09 is used to answer, is this answer really satisfying? 03 is a journey worthy of fun, and 09 becomes a Japanese animation with fixed routines and patterns. The final boss defeated is fragile desire and all dark things. Coupled with some gags and Q-version emoticons that seem to be used to make fun of but are occasionally lazy, the 09 version is obviously not as heavy as the 03 in terms of the "steel" heaviness. In addition, during the six years apart, I even felt that Japanese animators had some subtle changes in the culture, and they became straightforward and began to like to use educational sentences. If I want to say I love you, what is the best way to express it. Kawabata Yasunari's answer is, today's moon is so round. Suddenly inserting such a sentence is what I want to say. The ambiguity of Japanese culture lies in the height of this language. Many words do not need to be clarified or explained clearly. This vague and hazy beauty makes Japan unique and mysterious. In the scene in front of Hughes' tomb, 03 and 09 have a clear contrast. Da Zuo said, let's go, it's going to rain. However. Cloudless. At this time, Hawkeye saw the tears from Dazuo and said, um, it really rained. Finish. This is the way to deal with version 03. Look at 09 again. Da Zuo said, let's go, it's about to rain. Hawkeye said, eh? rain? No. Da Zuo said again, no, it's going to rain. Then our lieutenant saw the tears and said, um, yeah, hurry up, it's going to rain. I almost wanted to slap this silly girl. In fact, if there is no comparison of 03, the 09 version is not indispensable. Only in the scene and atmosphere at the time, it is obvious that the 03 version is more suitable for the rhythm of the scene and closer to the Japanese way of handling.
In addition to the improved picture quality and excellent soundtrack of the 09 version, I can't think of a better place. The 03 version really made me rethink the meaning of life after I saw a liter of tears. When I stand in front of immortal artificial people as a person, what are my advantages and pride? And why does she persistently want to be a human being? Ever since I came into contact with existentialism, life has been filled with absurdity and meaninglessness. Although reading the myth of Sisyphus over and over again, there is obviously no progress in understanding. If Sisyphus starts to think, is he not happy? This is the question I have always wanted to ask Camus.

    I prefer the 03 version of Da Zuo~

    Eight million years later, steelmaking is still very touching. The ending of the 03 version is a bit dark and crippled, and the flaws do not hide the beauty.
