When memories overlap the streets, our apocalyptic hero walks on the streets of Mars with a bouquet of bright blood-like roses, the old yellow records are rattling and crumbling, the sky is not a typical blue, but a touch of melancholy. Light gray, the camera shakes the fragmented memory, hovering in Spike's mind like a photoelectric flint, and the scenes of light and shadow are intertwined, intertwined with the memory of blood and tears, but the hero is speechless and has no tears.
Maybe it's a bit too much to say that Spike is a hero. As a bounty hunter, he didn't save the world, and he didn't have any great achievements. Some of them were just a bit lazy and agile. As a bounty hunter, he is excellent, and his skills are understandable, but the memory of that woman sleeping in a corner of his heart is a regret in his life.
He is not a hero, a hero always wants to save Mei, but he can't even save the woman he loves the most. When Juliet fell, Spike's eyes widened and he ran over and hugged him The woman, watching her closing her eyes after she finished speaking, there were no tears, only the annoying rain was still falling, the rain covered the sadness, Spike looked up at the sky, the only one that didn't The prosthetic eye of emotion is wide open as if full of emotion, containing endless anger and sadness, the darkness in that eye extends endlessly, extending into the vast universe.
That is the sadness of an adult, only the powerlessness in the face of reality, and the tears in the stomach that are unwilling to share with others. On the surface, he is a lazy and indifferent person, but in his dull eyes hides the unknown past. This is Spike, decadent and slightly innocent, with his eyes open, no sadness, always thinking about three meals a day, shredded green peppers and shredded green peppers, and so on and so forth. However, people can’t help themselves in the rivers and lakes. In order to eat and live, they still have to work hard in the rivers and lakes. However, this is always easy for Spike and the others. Although they are often hungry, they also live a very leisurely life. Maybe it’s just superficial. Just leisurely.
The days passed by like this, day after day, such days continued on the boat called bebop, a life of hunger and food, but no one complained, every member of the boat , all have a dark or obscure past, but they still haven't given up on life, and although they are not positive, they are never negative.
And our protagonist is Spike. There is no leader in the ship, and no one is bored enough to meddle in other people's business, but trust this thing does not know when it came into being here, regardless of the partner's affairs, it is actually a kind of trust, because he knows that he does not need With his help, he also knows that he can handle this matter by himself, so there is no need to help, but as a partner, there will always be worries. When Spike went to solve his past, Faye and Jett would still be worried and want to help, Faye hoped that Spike would not go, but Spike told her that he was not bound by the past but his own righteousness. What the eye sees is always the past, while the other eye sees the present, but it is not seeing is believing. He does not believe in such truth, and he only goes to confirm whether he is still alive. Such reasons make people feel a bit exaggerated, but they are real and credible. What is the evidence that we are alive, is it just to see if breathing is normal? How is that different from a vegetative person lying on a hospital bed? There is also breathing, but we can still do something to prove that we are alive, and those vegetative people can't do anything, but medically say they are alive, so what is the difference between living and dead?
Instead of discussing living or dead, let's get back to the topic. Spike has subverted the theory that heroes are immortal. Although he is not a big hero, but as a person with a very self-styled style, he can be regarded as a brilliant person living in the future apocalypse. Every time when he encounters a strong enemy, although Spike is still the agile one, he is still injured. He can often be seen covered in bandages, and sometimes he is injured to the point that he cannot move. Such a hero is the most real. Even in the final duel, he who didn't have the upper hand at the beginning could kill his opponent with one shot, but then he stumbled a bit when he went down the stairs, fell down and never got up again.
I never believed that he just fell down like this. The ending I look forward to is that although he was seriously injured, he was rescued by his companions, and he continued on that journey when he recovered. But my vision was shattered at the end of the last episode, he fell down and didn't stand up, and no one came to save him, just the ending song rang, I kept listening to the whole ending song, still didn't see it He stood up, although a little disappointed, but this kind of ending is also the most real and moving, doesn't it mean that tragedy is often more moving than comedy? Maybe this is the reason, so the image of that cowboy has been circling in my mind, he is the real cowboy, let's end with a sentence that often appears at the end, see you space cowboy!
