An animation that could have been better, but one less breath

The author is convoluted, and the animation story direction actually guessed the outline of the plot from the third episode. You can express the despair of the chaotic world, but it is difficult to justify it. It is just to be unconventional and deliberately guide the plot direction. I think no matter how profound a work is, you It cannot be separated from the basic three views of man.

The real despair should be that the protagonist inherits his father's legacy from the beginning, is kind and lawful and does not kill, and is frustrated by reality again and again, insists on his belief to the end, until everyone betrays his relatives and leaves, and all the people around him who love him and he loves all betray him, Then he collapsed, transformed into Shura, and slaughtered all the good and evil in the world. This is the utter despair, rather than becoming a tool to promote the plot, killing people like numbness for a while, and putting down the butcher's knife for a while.

Many people say that the three views of modern people cannot be substituted into the troubled times of ancient times. Can people who hold this argument think about it?

1. Was the author someone who lived in that era? If not, how could he experience the so-called truth?

2. What is ancient times? After a hundred years, we are also ancient people. Humans are inherently good at the beginning, science and technology are changing with each passing day, but the good and evil of human nature have never changed for thousands of years. Even in troubled times, those civilians who have been affected by war, The lives slaughtered by robbers are as simple and kind as most of you and me.

3. You are a work for modern people, but you ask people not to look at it from the three perspectives of modern people? Breaking away from the masses doesn't mean breaking away from vulgar taste, and true classics are always suitable for all ages.

It is a sad underdog mentality to agree with the law of the jungle and even advocate it. There is another thing in this world called belief. Just like the Anti-Japanese War, in the face of the overwhelming military power of the enemy, how many people gave up hope and betrayed the enemy, causing immeasurable huge losses to our country and nation! How many people have insisted on their beliefs and fought bravely, so that we have won the comfortable life of sitting in front of the computer and typing on the keyboard today. The weak eat the strong, and if you fall behind, you will be beaten. This kind of robber logic is just a spiritual plague spread to us by those former powers.

Righteousness in the chest, self-reliance between heaven and earth. Stick to your beliefs, even if you don't eat weak meat, you are still strong.

Vinland Saga quotes

  • Leif Erikson: Not all warriors fight on the battlefield with a sword in hand. A sailor makes his living battling the sea.

  • Ylva: Well, if they're dead, then that's the end of it. Crying about it gets you nothing but an empty stomach.
