Hahaha, EVA is really a mixed bag. When I was a child, I felt so bored and profound after watching it. Now you can watch it normally. I still like it. 25 years ago, mankind's sci-fi imagination of the future couldn't be more interesting from this point of view (25 years in the information age is comparable to several centuries)—that kind of rudimentary one can see the prototype of human imagination of the future of machinery. The lens is super cute! (satisfying my peculiar fetish for nostalgic machinery.
There is also an absurd sense of reality that runs through the whole film. When the apostles are not attacked, they go to class to talk about love and express the throbbing of a young boy's adolescence. In the city that is about to become a wasteland, the young people who are troubled on the surface become the saviors. In yesterday's class, Su Dechao also said that all questions can be asked with three questions to the end. Why? And then? So what? After surviving the apocalypse, you will continue to be a frustrated person and a worker, and human beings will not progress because of disasters. Under the shadow of this huge contrast, there is a very ugly truth. As well as the figurative projection of the film's sense of apocalyptic disorder corresponding to Japanese history and the social spiritual ecology at that time, as well as the special status of this show in the trend of Japanese animation, they are all very interesting reference systems. What the story itself tells doesn't matter anymore.
However, I discovered in the comments that it is simply a cruel growth diary of a troubled adolescent. Is it necessary to be so inspiring? I don't like it-Hey, which child didn't grow up from a problem youth? The world is made up of problem youth and problem adults. Not bad. Some people say that this is a movie that only people with excess self-awareness love. It's all good for me to have excess self-awareness. How can people who don't experience narcissism determine their self-subjectivity? It's not good to live according to the space left by others for a lifetime, Asia Children are just not narcissistic enough. They are taught to look at other people's faces when they are born. It is obviously a necessary stage for children to grow up. They will awaken after being beaten up in society rather than become maids too soon.
It is said that it is the obscenity of losers. Is everyone a successful person? Is it the kind of 360-degree success without dead ends? I thought that in this era of gradually distorted, more and more solidified classes, more and more sharp contradictions between the center and the periphery, and everyone being bewitched to squeeze towards the center and finally found to be unable to squeeze, the resonance for Shinji would increase. Shinji is just a vehicle for a person who wonders why he's making a mess of his life before going to bed. Shinji is just a vehicle, a magnified and prolonged bedtime doubt-and I don't think it's the end of the world for a child. Spiritual growth is not important.
Asuka and Ayanami Rei don't even need to choose one or the other, and die in the shop for the misogyny scene where the male protagonist chooses red and white roses. Although Ayanari seems more flat and less sad, Asuka's pain is changeable, while Ayanari's emptiness is irreversible. It's hard to say who is happier than whom. And in order to overcome this 25-year-old perspective of flat female characters as a foil, I automatically made Shinji Ikari a girl. When I was a kid and I watched it now, it's really a lot different. Hhhh-the definition of Shenfan is not enough for me. After all, there are many production shortcomings, the plot is not self-consistent, and the philosophical symbols and typical male perspectives fill the void, but it's really fun! ! !
