Adult fairy tale COWBOY BEBOP

------------ I once said that nostalgia is like a flood of beasts, silently swallowing you.

When I went up the stairs, I was still flickering in my heart, shaking three times with every step I took. Remembering that the last thing Spike took was the stairs, so he took a breath and took the last step.
------ This is the end of a story that entangles the mind. Someone waiting to grow up is so big. suddenly grew up.

Time/Not a Fairy Tale/Once/Sneak Away

Someone should have been stunned when they first knew about Spike. So at that time, I just smirked at this man who looked lazy and shrugged his shoulders between young and middle-aged people, but he didn't know that people always have birth, old age, sickness and death, or there are always joys and sorrows. My childhood self only vaguely remembered these vivid faces. It's just a face. Then, it is definitely not a film that calls for justice and expects blood boiling. Just a few yellow and black records. Zhiga sounded. Shaky.


The mirror/suddenly/opens its wings

, so being a person occasionally needs to be frank, or, naked. Tear open a face called Justice and all we see are a few guys who risk their lives for a meal just to make a living. Obviously, the protagonists have no principles and no dreams, and wandering coolly is just a way of being a fool. When you look again, you already know the adult sadness. So you can feel comfortable.

A crap-like synopsis:
Jett and Spike pilot the "BEBOP" in the universe to catch fugitives for prize money. During their travels, the two met a debt-ridden beauty named Fei and a computer prodigy named Ed, who appeared to be demented but had a high IQ. Plus a corgi named Ain (this dog is very smart). Four people and one dog, there are men and women, old and young, but there is no home atmosphere, more of a work-partner-like tacit understanding.
The whole story follows the development mode of the unit drama, one story and one story. In other words, a criminal. A fictional advanced world of all sorts of people, things, and things unfolds to us under the hunt of these bounty hunters. Which involves business, politics, environmental protection, religion, war, underworld and so on. This film not only reflects a bizarre world, but also satirizes the ugly side of our real society, and deeply analyzes the aspects of human nature that may be deformed or dark or sad or brave or tender. Each story is thought provoking and educational.
------ itself is a black joke.

World/Destruction/Dream The characteristics of a

bounty hunter must first be poor, and very poor-----otherwise, whoever does something will die. We can often see their hungry faces, accompanied by a piece of witty music. The second is the boldness of the art masters-----haven't seen the appearance of Spike's dashing attack? Didn't you see Fei Kuaishou's heroic shooting? Didn't you see Ed's peculiar skill at fiddling with the computer? In the end, interests come first—Jett is like a landlord and arms supplier, and Philip is even more addicted to money. The side story is that they all have mysterious or tragic or dark pasts. I'm here to talk about two characters I admire.
Protagonist Spike. This is a man with only the past. Don't look forward to the future, look at the present indifferently, just look at you with a somewhat lazy and a bit dull eyes, the powerful voice actor Yamadera Hiroichi used his unique voice to give this man a bit of helplessness and bitterness. The tragic and provocative past of Spike and the mysterious lover Julia and the ambiguity between him and Fei have become red and white roses in the eyes of viewers. How to say. When there is no scandal, your seemingly demented eyes can also be deified into flowers waiting to be released. But he and Fei didn't. It's time to go. God damn it.
You look at this man's courage to write with decadence, and suddenly feel innocent. So, open your eyes to the imperfect world and smile.

However, this is the arena.

Even if you die under the guns, you will still be happy; even if you part ways with your old friends, you will kill each other, but you will not be forgotten. ----- Silence remains. So it's not fighting to die, not heartbroken, not bleeding. But it is. on the stairs. Staggered a bit.
Philip Valentine. It is said that her prototype is Faye Wong. In fact, she is just an arrogant, money-loving and cunning beauty. Although he has a bizarre and sad past, he can spend every present without caring. However, she discovered her past one day. broken. distant. sweet. She ran with the memory and found a pile of ruins. Then life goes on. Fay revealed her sincerity when Spike left: she said her memories were restored but she couldn't find a place to go back; while Spike said she only had one eye to see the past. He's going to make sure he's alive.
Fei said no more. Just fired the gun and suppressed my tears.

And Jett, Ed and other protagonists and supporting characters have distinct personalities and unknown sides. These people, dressed in different colors, interpret their lives on a vast stage. Ups and downs. The willows are dark and bright.

Dramatic plot, personalized characters, rhythmic pictures, and perfect music (the music of this film belongs to a variety of styles but the theme is biased towards petty bourgeois jazz)

- this is COWBOY BEBOP.

When I recalled it again, it was a sigh of relief. Because the sadness is not only the story, but also the sadness of the adults who perched in my heart early.

-------- One day I suddenly woke up from a dream, not opening my eyes, but shrugging my shoulders. Because the helplessness, trivial, loneliness and anguish that I have endured when I grow up are only at this moment, I secretly run away.
