its not bad, right

I didn't want to write a long review, but I flipped through the review a little to give my opinion:

1. Lu Luxiu is indeed a scumbag, but he never thought about it, or advertised himself as a good person. That is to say, it's a bit too much to criticize this work because it is found that Lu Luxiu is scum.

2. I thought carefully about the reason why the character Suzaku has been scolded all the time, because compared with the male lead, he is too small as the second male lead.

It can be said that the screenwriter should want to show a situation where the rebels and the reformers (such a sloppy name are arbitrarily called) go toe-to-toe. But they are mainly carrying out the ideological output of the male lead, shaping the thoughts and image of the second male lead, and explaining the rationality of his behavior is not enough. That is to say, the screenwriter wants the two sides to confront each other, and the plot also needs to confront the two sides, but they did not want to explain the ideas of the reformists represented by Shumu Suzaku. So the result is tit-for-tat, and the level of rivalry has not been reached at all, so the role of the second male is very redundant and even a little overwhelmed. (Probably the writer doesn't care about that either). What's more, the audience mainly sees from the perspective of the male protagonist. It is customary to first experience the behavior of the protagonist, and they will hate the second male who hinders the male protagonist with a thought different from the mainstream thinking of this work. I can understand, but this extreme thinking is not really mature and rational in nature.

And it's hard for me to agree with the phrase "no Suzaku is a masterpiece". They really didn't deal with the character of Suzaku, but this play really couldn't go on without Suzaku Lu Luxiu alone.

3. I personally think that the story of this work is quite well told, the rhythm is controlled, and the atmosphere rendering is excellent, especially the preparation and performance of the big scenes and big emotional points are very good, and they pay attention to details, and they are not sloppy at all. . Whether or not the story itself is acceptable or liked by all audiences, these virtues are unquestionable.

I want to say something about the character Lu Luxiu, but since everyone's aesthetics are not the same, it really doesn't make sense to argue about this, so let's forget it.

    The simultaneous launch of this work and "Death Note" in October 2006 has to be said to be a peculiar phenomenon in that year. It is estimated that some critics have written this: the evil teenage protagonists of the two works are "decisionists". They all want to subvert the world, build a new social form, and perform "survival games" around the world. For this reason, they all acquire power and status that do not fit their identities, but their original real daily life is replaced by one. A fake house. Therefore, the role of Lu Luxiu is always regarded as the representative of the middle-two disease and even deconstructed in today's heat all over the country. The embarrassment of the man who desires to become an adult but has to maintain the daily life of the family. The comical side of this comedy is also the essence of this work.

    On the one hand, daily life, while fighting. Under the gods, pursue ideals. Strategizing, the evil way is extreme, the middle two is sad, and the later stage is quite the taste of Death Note.
