lightness of straw

After "Chaos Samurai", I finished watching another work by Shinichiro Watanabe "Cowboy Bebop" in three steps and two steps.

At first, my impression of this work was not very positive, and I didn't like too much in Japanese mainstream culture. The westernized part makes people feel like an ABC with a silver collar and a steel fork, and Faye's bright yellow outfit with short purple hair. How can you not see the role of her royal sister at first glance?

After watching all 26 episodes, I must say that I was moved

as follows:
"Although I feel that the length of each episode severely limits the development of the plot, each small story is not so full. Tasty, but slowly unfolded. In the last chapter, I saw a lot of explosive entrances, such as the relationship between Spike and Faye and Jet. Which eye of Spike is a prosthetic eye? Everyone's past and everyone's destination is deeply touching. The tears are only a sense of loss and suffocation can not be opened 'Relief'" The

director's most shocking blow came from the sketch printed by Spike on the steps after the end credits. After the seemingly absent smile, it is the same as all previous dramas. The line of the episode "You're gonna carry that weight."

As many comments said, Spike is a person who lives in the past. In the present life, he is uninhibited and confused. What really makes him have a sense of existence is the past time. Every piece of every person, so when he has any clue about Julia, his expression, his eyes are like waking up from a dream, it becomes serious and calm and full of energy
, in such a work full of American western elements I can't help but want to apply the American Christian concept of life that supports the Westward spirit and the American dream. "We are all working out our own salvation."
For Spike's final confrontation with Vicious, I think it is also his last chance to find salvation. For him, the explanation of a fate is far more precious and happier than the fate that has been forgotten by fate.

Although discussing the meaning of details in such a work that uses stories to tell the dimension of life is easy to fall into vulgarity, I can't help but think:
If Spike dies like the star that finally annihilates in Space, then for such a result we Should learn to understand and dare to bear weight. It's hard not to remind me of the name of another famous novel "The Unbearable Lightness of Life"
If Spike hadn't died, could the last joking shot be considered Is it his farewell to his past for the various grievances and grievances he has brought to him because of the Red Dragon Organization?

Faye and Jet were not by his side when Spike fell, although Faye, who had recovered his memory, was uncharacteristically stubborn and even a little coquettish to keep Spike She didn't want to lose him (I think so), but Faye didn't do it after all.
Jet is Spike from the beginning He's been a partner and an old friend since, and whether it was a leg injury or other reasons, he couldn't come to spend his life and death with Spike after all. Does this also mean that people who are close to him, whether intentional or God's will, are often only pregnant with each other? With heart-wrenching concern and unwillingness to look directly at the side, I watched helplessly as you who were fighting against fate

wrote this, I suddenly thought that just after New Year's Day in 2011, I was sent to Philadelphia airport, and I was about to go to Indiana alone. A new life Facing the unknown and new challenges, my aunt crying in my arms,

all the emotional ties are the straws on our hearts, even if they are far from the last one that broke the camel But they are all weights that can't be ignored, even insignificant, these weights are the weights that our hearts need to carry when growing up. The

progress bar returns to the starting point for a few seconds and I feel suffocated. I understand it's hiding in my stomach. Physiological reaction before intense emotion and rumination In order to help myself digest, I typed out the above words

    9.5 After dragging on for a few months, I finally finished this big hole (in fact, I was just reluctant to watch the last few episodes), my favorite drama in my life is undoubtedly. The painting and soundtrack have reached the pinnacle, and the ideas and creative concepts conveyed are even more unparalleled. In the seemingly undisciplined unit drama format, it is Watanabe who tells the romance, nihility and existentialism of the universe in a sci-fi and comedy tone. Each episode is inseparable from the philosophical motif, and fans of Westerns, martial arts, and crime films can also enjoy it. The last few episodes are especially sad, waving goodbye to the past, or burying it together with the past, and crying sparsely even under the premise of being spoiled, which is perfect. Cowboys, see you in our dreams.
