"On the subway in winter, have you ever seen a little fat man with dark circles under his eyes? He buried his head in the fur collar, drooling from the corners of his mouth, as if he was about to fall over in the next second. Don't treat him yet. Roll his eyes, maybe he's a civet cat disguised as a human."
In this tone, the whole movie tells a complete history-about the death of the civet cat, about the death of faith.
In fact, no one does not know, even these civet cats who make trouble every day know that people are the most cunning, and they can't fight against humans. But in order to survive, everyone had better try. In order not to be so sad, it is best to laugh and scare them. The civet cats laughed and tried their best to fight to fry the mouse tempura, and then they pretended to be ghosts to scare the workers away.
But this is Tokyo. This is 1994.
In six more years, the world will celebrate the arrival of the millennium. In 2001, the United States refused to ratify the Kyoto Protocol. In 2009, the Copenhagen Accord was not passed. In 2010, the amount of deforestation in Brazil’s tropical rainforest reached 169,074 square kilometers. In 2018, the IPCC stated that global warming must be controlled at 1.5 degrees Celsius, otherwise the earth will be destroyed by 2030 A devastating climate will follow.
The six-generation elder Jin in the movie is very surprised. Why are people in Tokyo not afraid at all? Obviously in Shikoku, a parade can increase everyone's worship and respect for civet cats. He didn't understand that having money and a house meant that humans wouldn't care about anything else. It's the civet cats who scare us, not the gods. Kill all the civet cats and get up early tomorrow to work. It doesn't matter if workers run away today, more workers can be bought with less money tomorrow. TV slams the environment, change a station, and buy more houses tomorrow.
It is always said that no snowflake is innocent. However, Snowflake didn't feel that way at all.
The idealistic civet cats thought they could hold on to the day of victory, but what awaited was the victory of mankind. If you don't become a civet cat, you won't cry, so they hold hands, sing songs, and die in a beautiful boat on a quiet moonlit night. The survivors had a dream in which they held hands and played in the forest, and everyone was still the same as when they were teenagers.
Desperate, hungry, running for life in the sewers, dying in the driveway. Nobody cares, nobody cares.
For the civet cats who love fantasy, the ending of the fairy tale is that they finally return to their childhood, everyone holds hands, forgets the past, and sings their favorite song. For humans, the ending of fairy tales is that all animals in this world are assimilated. Kill tanuki, fox, rabbit, squirrel, everyone lives on the corpse, smiling, without thinking about tomorrow.
