Film Review - ぼくだけがいない Street

There is probably no more happy ending than this. After all, all people are happy, the wicked are punished, and the good people gather together. However, from the beginning to the end, only the city where I am not is full of pain and regret, depression and pain.

When do we feel real pain? Children who can't get their beloved toys and candy will cry sadly, but when the memory fades, every moment of childhood makes people happy. What about Fujinuma Satoru's childhood memories blurred? Although the memory has disappeared, the painful feelings are left behind and rooted in the depths of this child. This is the real pain, which is vast, profound and ubiquitous.

If you want to try to enter Fujinuma Satoru's inner world, "If it were me, I could have saved her!" would be a very important sentence. This sentence is a sentence that Fujinuma Satoru said after his classmate died. Although the twenty-nine-year-old Fujinuma Satoru later forgot this sentence, the so-called regret loomed over Fujinuma Satoru all the time. Strength, he revises the past over and over again, at the cost of hurting himself, to save the tragedy of the people around him. The psychological causes of Fujinuma Satoru shown in this may be speculated as follows. First, hope or think that one has the ability to save others; second, attribute failure to save others as one’s own responsibility; third, self-punishment to a certain extent is caused by the guilt generated by the second, that is, masochistic behavior . Such a state of mind continued until Fujinuma Satoru was twenty-nine years old, and the audience expanded from the people he knew to all the people Fujinuma Satoru had met.

The turning point of the story is the death of Fujinuma Satoru's mother. Coincidentally, the mother's death is the legacy of the "child abduction case", the origin of the shadow of Fujinuma's life. After seeing the past prisoner committing the crime again, the mother discovered The true face of the prisoner, and was therefore murdered by the prisoner. And Fujinuma Satoru, who suffered the death of his mother, also took this as an opportunity to return to the age of ten and return to the origin of all misfortunes.

Originally, it was only possible to go back a few seconds before the incident and then reappear, why suddenly go back more than ten years? From the point of view of the whole work, there are mainly the following stages of reappearance: going back a few seconds (saving passers-by), returning to ten years old (the source of childhood misfortune), returning to the actual timeline (saving failure), returning to ten years old again ( I want to trust others), reappearing and disappearing (the knot of my heart has been resolved), and combining reappearance with Fujii Satoru’s changes, it can be completely corresponded, then, if the power of reappearance is regarded as Fujinuma Satoru's inner regret and his obsession with wanting to revise the past, why did Fujinuma Satoru suddenly want to return to the age of ten and revise the source of this misfortune?

On the surface, it was the sudden death of the mother, and I found signs of reappearance, so I asked the mother where there was a sense of disobedience, and finally the mother who discovered the truth was killed by the prisoner, which perfectly fits the above psychological causes, so Fujinuma Satoru had a strong desire to go back to the past and correct his mistakes. On a deeper level, this is a ferment of regret and regret again. This is the first time I regret not being able to save the lives of my classmates and brother Courage in the past, but as the memory fades, Fujinuma Satoru empathizes this regretful emotion to passers-by, but the time period for this regretful emotion is in the past. Moreover, it is an old and mottled past. For this misfortune, Fujinuma Satoru did not correct it. This uncorrected misfortune did not end, and extended to the people closest to Fujinuma, causing the tragedy of the current time period. Maybe In Fujinuma Satoru's subconscious, it was this rooted feeling of regret that drove him back to the distant past.

After Fujinuma Satoru returned to the past, after the initial discomfort, he quickly threw himself into the work of finding out the real murderer. However, Fujinuma Satoru's purpose of finding the real murderer changed during the search process, and it can even be said that the deepest and most primitive purpose was gradually revealed. According to the surface of the mother-to-death crossing, Fujinuma Satoru's original purpose was to go back to the past to find the real body of the abductor, to avoid the ending of his mother being killed by the real murderer, and to save the lives of classmates and brother Courage is just the process and side effects of this behavior. At first, Fujinuma Satoru's attitude towards these people was just alienating and polite; but as time went on, the goal changed to be sure to save these people, and changing the fate of his mother's death became the result of saving these people.

Judging from the combination of the driving force and the purpose of crossing, the source of this misfortune is the most painful scar in Fujinuma Satoru's heart.

In order to save the fate of these people and solve the source of pain that has been entangled with him, Fujinuma Satoru has been working hard for this. The mode of this action can be divided into two periods, the first revision and the second revision. In the middle of the journey, Fujinuma Satoru returned to the actual timeline because he failed to save Kayo. Before that, Fujinuma Satoru tried his best to avoid a sense of disobedience and acted with the purpose of changing March 2. Generally speaking, it was to maintain all known conditions. Looking for key points to change; and after that, Fujinuma Satoru lost his previous cautiousness and became very bold. Fujinuma Satoru, who came back again, chose to completely disrupt the timeline. The price he paid for this was that he lost control of the future. Throwing everyone, including your own, into an unknown whirlpool. At this stage, Fujinuma Satoru has been cornered, and his behavior has a strong desperate feature. Fujinuma Satoru, who has been desperate to madness, even once had the idea of ​​killing Kayo's mother to change his direction. This also shows the change in the relationship between Fujinuma Satoru and the event. Originally, Fujinuma Satoru, with the advantage from the future, had the initiative in the direction of the event, and controlled the progress of the event with the attitude of a god. After entering the incident, he became a helpless, frantic and stateless insider, enslaved by fate and displaced.

In fact, Fujinuma Satoru, who appeared as the controller in the first half, also secretly revealed clues that he was actually an insider. Fujinuma Satoru, who lived to the past, cried many times, sometimes when he thought that he had changed the fate of the victim. Fujinuma Satoru can better understand the huge remorse in his heart. The happier he is after the revision, the deeper the remorse. Such a beautiful thing was broken because I failed to do it, so it became more firm to Fujinuma Satoru. The determination to modify fate becomes a more urgent matter than must be done.

In fact, the most uncomfortable thing about this animation is that whether it is a good soul or an evil soul, after experiencing the incident, they have left a painful memory, and they cannot restore the original state of blank paper again, holding pain in their arms. of remorse, collapsed peacefully. Servant だ け い な い street, the will to die, the pain, and the remorse contained in this sentence are really lonely.
