Asuka Langley is my first life and the first virtual character that I truly "fell in love with". Those were my high school years, and I especially remember those obsessive, crazy, warm years.
In 2008, in my second semester of high school, I watched the original EVA. When I was a child, I introduced and played the abridged version of "Eagle Warrior" on the mainland. In addition to the broadcast of the new theatrical version [Preface] in 2007, this classic topical work was once again pushed to the forefront. In the process of watching the original TV version, I was shocked: the detailed psychological description, the thrilling battle, the special narrative method; the psychological peep, the thinking of human nature and philosophy; the game between hope and despair; the choice between emotion and reason; the contradiction between characters The entanglement with the past and the truth behind it So I was out of control. From the first year of high school to the third year of high school, I watched it nearly 10 times. I went to the forum and posted it there to check the information and discuss with other people. The incense bar of the character chef has left my footprints.
In the process of revisiting, in addition to the storyline, the biggest gain is the discovery of the character Asuka. To be honest, I don't have much memory of Asuka when I was a child, only the episode "Flying Birds Come to the Sun", in which the red No. 2 aircraft leaps onto an aircraft carrier. After the victory, Asuka akimbo looks down, and the introduction is imprinted on my mind. So this time, in the middle of the plot, Asuka appeared, and curiosity made me pay attention to this character. In the latter part of the plot, fresh and surprising feelings continue to emerge, with a large number of stream-of-consciousness applications, montage narratives, rapid mirror switching, static text flickering, and then the depth of the plot. The past and the main line of history behind the characters are constantly being excavated. And these are edited and weakened in the "cut version" introduced in China. However, in the second half, there are many detailed descriptions of Asuka, which can be ranked second except for the protagonist Shinji; from the past to the present, the process of psychological changes and thinking, panic and collapse. These episodes allowed me to walk into Asuka's heart, into her loneliness, her fragility, and to know, know, and approach this girl from the inside. The moment when a strong person sheds tears is the most beautiful and can most shake people's hearts. When I was a senior in high school, I had hoped to edit EVA with Asuka as the first-perspective clue after graduation. Although it was later stranded, it was possible and the original provided an ample amount of information.
The original version of EVA can be said to fully describe and excavate Asuka as the second protagonist. Her image and story are independent and very exciting. The two old theatrical versions, "Air" and "Sincerely For You," are used as the TV version's ending.The series has reached its climax. Among them, the story of Asuka has been completed and explained in the first part. After the apostles were all wiped out, the truly terrible and cruel enemies, humans, finally showed their fangs, and the awakened Asuka drove the second machine and Seel sent The mass-produced aircraft group war has ushered in a brutal ending of dismemberment. But she fought heroically, heroically and brutally, never soft-hearted, frantic in her look and roar. shocked hundreds of millions of viewers in front of the screen, including me. At that moment, I knew that I was deeply fascinated by this brave, strong, proud, willful, and enthusiastic girl. Her personality, just like her perfect body and beautiful face, is the most beautiful and strongest, without compromise and indisputable. Nerv Fortress, the underground lake of the third Shin-Tokyo City, turned red.
After college, the housemates all ridiculed "the incense party is all over the place." This is really the situation after the broadcast of [Broken] and 10 years later in China. This was not the case at all in China at the beginning. Not only was the number of people destroyed, but there was no right to speak. In [Broken], Asuka changed her surname, which sparked a debate between the old and the new. However, this time the fragrance was on fire. The fire was a mess and even counterattacked the first heroine, Li. Many people don't admit that the old and the new Asuka are the same person. In fact, it doesn't make sense. Before the fourth part of the new theatrical version comes out, we can't know whether there is a hidden meaning behind the surname change, but even if it is really a reincarnation development like "Re-take," the gap between "two" Asuka is not as good as "Second Rei" and "Third Rei," which makes no sense as different roles. In fact, the reason for the cognitive change is the mode of expression. One is that the old and new versions show different aspects of Asuka's character, and the other is the shooting angle. In the new theatrical version, Asuka is downgraded to a supporting role (at least 2 or 3 episodes). Here's an explanation:
The original Asuka, tough to the last moment, was strangled by the neck and said the line "so disgusting," and the whole play ended. In the end, there was no acceptance or compromise. According to today's domestic "Ding-style Aojiao" standard of "orthodox Aojiao", the original Asuka does not have "jiao" and no reposts, so it is not considered "true Aojiao". And Asuka of the last Asuka of the new theatrical version [Broken] has a tendency to compromise and compromise before the battle. In fact, a person's personality originally has different sides, whether it will change in different environments, a property will be stimulated, or it will have different results. Anyone who has played multi-line Gal Games should understand it. Besides the shooting angles and scenes, a feature of all film versions is the magnification of scenes, close-ups of actions, close-ups of costumes, details, and points and faces. There is not so much pen and ink to slowly frame the psychological transformation and mental journey for you, so we see Asuka, who has a bright appearance, frequently changes clothes, and makes a big turn in personality. However, her personal emotional line (blessing) has been removed, and the two points of "misery" and "transformation" have also been repackaged. The new version of Asuka allows the audience to understand her at a glance, and the bright spots are obvious. In today's era of fast food consumption and high attention priority, its ability to attract money is naturally very strong. There is no time to slowly step into a role, and the feelings slowly change from curiosity, infatuation, pity, understanding, moving, admiration to fascination. Who cares so much that the plot changes are unnatural and the characters are not exaggerated? It may be friendly to newcomers, but it does not bring more freshness to me. Gradually, I paid less attention to EVA, and I didn't mention my deep love outside. Of course, it is also related to the fact that I have found another natal life and discovered some changes in my taste. This is a later story.
The incense is still the same incense, but what has changed is ourselves.
