Human ですか? Parasitic beast ですか?

As an anime/manga, this is a well-made work, whether it is picture quality, character design, story setting, story development, etc., it is very good. The title of the film is "Parasite", but the protagonists are people and parasites. The thoughts of most parasitic beasts are very simple, just hunting, self-defense, and attack. However, Reiko Tamura has a further thinking. She began to think about some philosophical and social issues. What is a parasitic beast and why does it appear? In fact, it is not just parasitic beasts, we humans should also think about this problem-although it is very likely that he will die like Tamura Reiko.
Generally speaking, the author will express his innermost feelings through the mouth of one or more characters in the work. The mayor, Hirokawa, who is obviously a human, but actively joined the parasitic beast camp, said: "Human beings are the toxins of the earth and need a neutralizer to detoxify the earth, and parasitic beasts
are such an antidote."
Is it harmful?
We humans just selfishly and unilaterally believe that parasitic beasts are harmful to humans, so we fight back decisively and get rid of them quickly.
But what about the world?
Humans have been at the top of the biological world for millions of years. Just as a king who has been in power for too long will become numb and lethargic, human beings have taken advantage of everything in nature more and more for granted. Those that are useful to humans are beneficial insects, and those that are useless or harmful to humans are pests.
Guangchuan mentioned the population issue. Indeed, there are really too many people in the world now (although some countries and regions have had negative growth for many years, the total number of human beings is still increasing sharply), in the past 100 years (the year World War I broke out), the world The total population has doubled. A full 5 times! With so many people, the consumption of resources can be imagined, and the treasure house of nature will be hollowed out sooner or later.
Hirokawa said: "Littering is a more serious crime than killing people."
Human beings are now gradually realizing the significance of environmental protection, but human beings have done very little for it.
Environmental protection is both environmental protection and self-protection.
Of course, I believe that the birth of "Parasitic Beast" is not to persuade people to protect the environment, but to remind people to always look in the mirror to see the real self, and not to exaggerate their abilities and significance. Absolutely not everything in this world.
In "Parasitic Beasts", the reason why the parasitic beasts fail is that although they have an amazing force value, their overall intelligence value is still low, they do not use modern high-tech weapons, and they do not unite well.
The parasites target people. If one day, God really sends a group of parasitic beasts or creatures more powerful than parasitic beasts into this world, it must be God who wants to destroy human beings. In this world, human beings cannot be the eternal hegemon. For the world, it may not be without benefit to change the master.
Artwork, such as painting and music, no matter how beautifully packaged it is, if it has no connotation and no soul, it is meaningless. Obviously, "Parasite" has connotations, which is why it is worth watching.
Watching "Parasite", we see more than just exciting fights.
