Loving Evangelion was a strange process, when I was extremely bored looking for a cartoon to watch, and I came across it. Looking back now on the scene when I saw the cover of its movie, I feel as if it was the same and a little bit different. What is the difference, which led me to choose it in countless animations, I can't tell. In short, under the circumstances of unknown reasons, I went to Fengxing to watch this movie, and then I kept thinking about something. In my dream that night, I also dreamed of its movie theme song. This situation has only happened twice in my dreams in recent years, one is "21 guns" by Green Sun, and the other is "Angel" by Mayday. So, I was surprised and had to find this theme song, "Beautiful world" by Hikaru Utada, and...the song was included in my playlist!
Evangelion The Movie :
Preface
Shinji, or as Asuka called it, Idiot Shinji, was standing in the street. There were no pedestrians on the street, and everyone went to the shelter. Shinji may still be able to recall the scene when his father abandoned him when his mother died. For him, the memory was dark. He remembered that he did not resist. He just stood, crying, letting the package as heavy as himself be left alone and letting his father go away.
And now, his father asked Shinji to see him. And at this time. Shinji didn't have to look up to see that guy. He was huge and terrifying, and all the artillery fire of the Air Self-Defense Force could not help him!
apostle!
Shinji's life was peaceful and monotonous, the kind that would make a cat's death a major event. After his father left, his teacher wanted to take him over to live, but he did not refuse; now, his father asked him to come to see him, and he did not refuse either. Even when his classmates wanted to beat him, he didn't resist.
Ritsuko Akagi said that obeying others is the way of life for this child.
Shinji brought his tape recorder, and this last century thing is only here because it has a special meaning. Shinji loved this recorder so much that he put the earphones in his ears and turned the sound to the maximum. In this way he isolates himself from the world, he is immersed in his own world, and he does not want to communicate with people. He is convinced that no one in this world cares about him, of course because of his father; and he longs for someone to care about him, of course, because of his father.
His autism seems familiar.
He was still standing in the street, watching the Air Self-Defense Force focus its artillery on the apostles. The apostle didn't react, it just moved forward with a clear goal. It steps over the building and steps down all obstacles. It is synonymous with extinction.
And Shinji was still waiting for Misato to pick him up.
In fact he didn't wait long. Misato came, just before the apostle was about to crush Shinji. Soon after, Shinji arrived at NERV, where his father was. He had heard his teacher talk about his father's work, a great, sacred duty to save the world. And this matter is actually very simple when it comes to Shinji: his father asked Shinji to drive the first EVA machine, a huge robot that has never been seen before, to confront the apostles.
Hurry up if you want to drive, or roll away. So said his father.
After a series of struggles and senseless resistance, Shinji finally got on the EVA.
He smelled a familiar scent, which he couldn't know for sure at the time, but he finally understood.
It was my mother's smell...
Ling Bori's smell...
Misato Katsuragi's
father didn't plan to live with Shinji. The room has been arranged, just waiting for Shinji to check in. Indifferent arrangement. What will Shinji do? Those who are submissive will only accept passively. He picked up the package to start his life alone.
But Miri was very surprised. How could he do this, he was only fourteen years old! she says.
Then she made her own decision. She called Akagi Ritsuko. I want Shinji to live with me, and the above has already approved it... Don't worry, I won't do anything to children... Oh, you are really long-winded, I'm just kidding...
And then, Shinji and this beautiful girl live together. In other words, Shinji is living with this thick woman!
This woman can't cook, and the food is all frozen food; this woman loves beer and looks like a mad woman when she is drunk; this woman's penguins are more like a clean and tidy woman than this woman. It's hard to associate all of this with NERV's head of operations, Misato Katsuragi, who is shrewd and unscrupulous, two completely different sides.
Misato always wears her necklace, a cross.
This necklace was worn on her chest when she stood at NERV and ordered the first aircraft to strike. People always have this kind of feeling, and some objects are often given a special meaning and are always with you. For Miri, that meaning comes from her father. When the second shock occurred, his father picked her up, put her in the escape pod, and threw the necklace to Miri, his last sequence of actions. Through the narrow hatch of the escape pod, Miri only saw the blood-red sky, and then, the hatch closed, endless darkness.
This scene happened fifteen years ago, when Miri was also fourteen years old.
Fourteen-year-old Miri suffered from aphasia. For three years, she did not speak a word until she was seventeen.
Later, as if to make up for the aphasia time, as long as there was time, Miri kept talking, so we could always see her babbling. She became happy, lovely, strong, and decisive. It looks like she has fully recovered. Of course, it just looks.
Surviving has various meanings. To accept the sacrifice of the deceased is bound to accept his will. In particular, the victim was the father he once hated so much.
Now, Misato was sitting at the table, nagging about sending Shinji to take a shower. The latter obeyed without surprise, so only Misato was left in the room.
She can finally let go of her disguise. The strong image as the person in charge at NERV and the image of the big sister facing Shinji at home are just appearances. Her inner fragility and helplessness, she buried deep, she never showed it.
Maybe it's me who's seen through, she said to herself.
Asuka
Asuka's appearance is extremely gorgeous. When the fifth apostle attacked, she drove the EVA No. 2 machine to drop from the sky and defeated the enemy with one blow, so Ling Bo Li had to drive the No. 0 machine to watch the fun. Then, standing beside Misato, she pointed at Shinji and said: Are you an idiot? Where did you go when the apostles called?
In the days to come, "You idiot" became Asuka's exclusive catchphrase for Shinji. Regardless of whether the latter accepted it or not, she would use this sentence as the opening remarks of the conversation and never tire of it.
She is so good that she thinks the people around her are completely unqualified to fight with her.
Asuka came from Germany, and EVA No. 2 appeared with her. Of course she had nowhere to live, so, without any suspense, Yumiri came to receive this excellent girl. When Shinji returned home and saw the scene in front of him, he was completely stunned. Or dementia, to be precise.
how are you here? ! Why did you put all your luggage in my room? ! Shinji yelled
and then he had the good fortune to hear the following long poem:
You idiot! You have been disposed of as waste, consider who is better, this is a natural conclusion!
How come Japanese houses are so small that they can't even fit half of their luggage!
And this door, how can Japanese live in a house that doesn't have such a chain? !
You are too unaware of the crisis, right? !
...
Shinji was completely speechless. Looking at the aggressive Asuka, he realized that his nightmare was coming!
At night, Asuka was lying on the bed, the street lights had gone out, and the city was immersed in a bloated dream. And she, still in excitement and excitement, can't see fatigue at all. She fiddled with the doll in her hand, she planned her future.
I can only do it alone, Asuka. she said to herself.
Go to school, leave school, do various tests every day. In the days when the apostles did not come, everyone's life was boring and dull. We quickly understood Asuka's principle of life, which is to not make friends with anyone. Unlike Ling Boli, she is not bad at making friends. The reason why she does this is because she feels that she despises anyone. So we can understand the following thing. Facing the boy who came to strike up a conversation, her reply was simple and direct: kick the other person directly to the ground!
This is a proud girl who stubbornly sticks to her inner thoughts and never changes.
I'm the best, I don't need anyone, I'm totally on my own!
The sixth apostle finally came. This time the situation is dangerous.
Miri formulated a bold battle plan, and the three planes of No. 0, No. 1, and No. 2 jointly fought to prevent the devastating attack of the apostles. Ling Bori didn't say anything, Shinji expressed surprise at Misato's "woman's intuition", and Asuka expressed her strong dissatisfaction. Her original words are: I can do it myself, they will only get in the way!
Of course things won't be messed up by this little kid. The three EVAs fought together, and the result was as expected, a miracle happened, and the apostles collapsed. Everyone was immersed in the joy of victory, except for one person.
Asuka sat in the EVA cockpit that had lost power, burying her head in her arms. She is very lost.
Turns out I can't do anything on my own! she said to herself.
After saying this, she remembered what happened a few years ago and buried it deep in her heart. At that time, she had just been selected as the No. 2 pilot. She was so happy, she ran home, she was going to tell her mother the news, only her mother.
Then, she opened the door and saw her mother hanging from a rope, her feet floating in the air...
From that day on, she firmly believed that no one in this world really cares about her and loves her, including the one who married someone else as a wife My father...
From that day on, she decided to rely on herself...
From that day on, she decided not to cry again...
Ling Bo
Li Ling Bo Li was lying on the hospital bed. Her right eye was bandaged, her arm was bandaged, and her body was bandaged. The bandages were red, the color of blood. She may be in pain, but her expression is cold and numb.
Ikari Yandao called: Li?
Ling Boli: Yes!
Ikari Yan said: The backup driver is not useful, do it again!
Ling Boli: Yes!
Ling Bo Li was pushed to the EVA bridge from the hospital bed. Here, she met Shinji for the first time. She saw that the latter seemed to be in pain.
That was the pilot of the first plane, Ling Boli said to herself, the same age as me.
The ground suddenly began to shake. The battle outside was fierce, the apostles were attacking the NERV headquarters, fierce and merciless, and the earth trembled for it. The hospital bed was finally overturned by the shock, Ling Boli fell to the ground, blood seeping out from the bandage. She was panting, the pain seemed to tear the girl apart. Shinji rushed over and hugged her. When he saw her pain, he felt pity. Well, I drive, I'm going to drive this robot. He said.
So, Shinji, who was supposed to get on the EVA, finally made up his mind to fight. The next result is easy to predict, the first machine ran rampant, and Shinji won.
This is a very happy thing. But Ling Boli had no feeling about it.
Because we feel happy, we have smiles; because we feel sad, we learn to cry; because we feel angry, we hide our faces.
And Ling Boli does not have these expressions. There was no feeling in her heart, anger, happiness, and sadness were just words for her.
Because she is a clone.
After this battle, Shinji spent a long time in the hospital. To put it nicely, he was repairing the fear caused by the battle in his heart; to put it badly, he was terrified, and he didn't pee his pants and shouted that his mother was already blessed by the Buddha. After leaving the hospital, Miri picked him up and sent him to a new school. Here, he saw Ling Boli again. The latter was sitting in front of the desk looking out the window, alone, and the bandage on his arm abruptly indicated something.
She has no friends, she is lonely, although she does not feel lonely.
Time flies like a butcher's knife. Shinji has new friends at the new school, and Ling Bo Li's injuries finally heal. And her EVA No. 0 machine has also been refurbished and is about to make its first appearance.
The opportunity is coming soon.
Operation Yashima, another large-scale battle plan formulated by Miri, received electricity from all over Japan and carried out long-distance precise sniping on the apostles. Shinji piloted the No. 1 aircraft as a sniper, and Ling Bo Li drove the No. 0 aircraft to cover.
Before the war, Shinji and Ling Bori were sitting on the mountain, looking at the dark night. Everything is ready, just waiting for the battle time to come.
Shinji: Lingbo, why are you driving this thing?
Limbo: This is my fetters.
Shinji: Fetters?
Limbo: Yes, fetters.
Shinji: With my father?
Limbo: No, with everyone.
Shinji: You are so strong.
Limbo: Because I have nothing but this.
Shinji: Nothing?
Limbo: It's time, let's go. farewell.
She stood up, the moonlight on her face, she was like a goddess.
The next thing can be summed up in one sentence, the battle began and the battle ended, the No. 0 aircraft was injured in order to protect the No. 1 aircraft and fell into the sea of fire.
Shinji drives the No. 1 aircraft to rescue Limbo. It was always very easy for one robot to rescue another, and he quickly opened the cockpit of No. 0 machine and saw Ling Bo Li sitting inside, haggard but unscathed. Shinji cried for no reason. Maybe it wasn't until this moment that he suddenly realized how important and inexplicable the girl who never spoke to him was to him.
Ling Bo looked at Shinji curiously: Why are you crying?
Shinji didn't answer, sobbing like a man.
Limbo: I'm sorry, I don't know how to face you at this time.
Shinji raised his head: I think, just smiling is enough.
Ling Bo was stunned.
Then, she smiled. It was the first time she smiled.
She felt a rush of warmth, a wonderful feeling!
Finally
, before the night was over, I thought about what I should do tomorrow. Maybe stop a girl on the street and talk. The result of doing this kind of thing is nothing more than two kinds, either get a string of thirteen-digit mobile phone numbers, or get a slap in the face. And before this idea was put into practice, I was just sitting at home, staring at the computer, or staring at myself.
Before writing this, I realized that Ling Bo Li would be the hardest to write. How can a mysterious girl be completely described in a few words? Based on this, I put her at the end, thinking it would be a little more inspirational. But in fact, Ling Boli is really the most difficult to write. For days in a row, I didn't know where to start with her. Stuck, it's really a very uncomfortable thing for me. I finally finished writing it anyway, and then I looked at it and found that I was completely fooling myself.
Ling Boli is called a goddess in the fandom of this movie, I don't know how this title came from. But to me, that title seems like an exaggeration. When I was in middle school I had a crush on a classmate (I can never tell you who it was), and now that I think about it, it's a wonderful memory of adolescence. When I saw Ling Boli, I suddenly thought of this classmate, and then perhaps very artistically or perhaps very secondly, I remembered the past green years. Ling Boli has short blue hair, red eyes, and a body that is not devilish, but shows a hint of hazy sexiness, unlike this classmate. Maybe it's just a feeling that reminds me of her, which I can't describe.
Of course you can watch this movie, and of course you can feel that this movie is very ordinary. Then, you can even swear at it, for example, Yang Wei is pure nonsense, wasting my time, etc. In this regard, I will say that I myself have always preferred large weapons, such as fighter jets, tanks, aircraft carriers, transformers, and so on. So I like this movie, and for me, it's a matter of course. Also, if you watch this movie and find yourself feeling totally unfeeling, the only explanation I can think of is that you've never been alone like me
