The "Digimon" that we chased together in those years

When it comes to Japanese anime, everyone thinks of "One Piece", "Slam Dunk" and "Detective Conan" and "Naruto" which ended last year. Department, I personally think it should be "Digimon Adventure".

The reason why I chose "Digimon" as the opening chapter is mainly related to the author's personal experience. If I remember correctly, it should be "Digimon", which I came into contact with in 2002, dubbed in Mandarin. At that time, there were not many domestic animations, not like the Pleasant Goat running all over the street now. The 3D animation such as "Bear Infested" was not born, and the domestic animations could be watched, I am afraid that the only remaining animation versions of "Journey to the West" and "Which" "Legend of Zha" and "The Adventures of Little Carp". (Of course not to belittle the domestic animation, but since the 21st century, there are really not many good domestic animations)

At this time, the relatively active Japanese animation almost occupied most of the Chinese market, "Dragon Ball", "Doraemon" and "Dragon Ball". Animations such as "Four-wheel Drive Brothers" have basically become eternal memories of the post-90s generation.

Years later, it's still beautiful. My childhood friends sat together in front of the TV after school, waiting for the arrival of the mysterious animation world.

One

"Digimon" tells the story of children's adventures in the digital world, and successfully formed a team. There are eight children with different personalities in this team. Almost every child watching can find their own shadow, or Your ideal look. Perhaps, this is the reason why we remember it so deeply.

Digimon gives each character the character flaws that come with growing up, and at the same time lets us see these kids gradually overcome their flaws on their own adventurous journey.

The setting of each character is just right, and their different personalities are generated under the influence of the family background, which is well reflected in the development of the plot in the play.

Taiyi

Taiyi is sunny, optimistic, and assertive. It is the yellow "courage" "The bearer of the badge, which is why the kids chose him as team leader. At the same time, Taiyi also has a reckless and stubborn side, which is related to his identity as the eldest brother at home.

Ah He

Ah He is attentive and righteous, and is the holder of the blue "Friendship" badge, but he is also a little arrogant and melancholy. This should be the result of his parents' divorce but his relationship with his younger brother is very good.

Su Na

Su Na is thoughtful, independent, and has a pink "love" badge, but her heart is also full of self-doubt and self-isolation. The single-parent family and the strength of her mother lead her to desire to give love to others on the one hand, and love to others on the other hand. I'm afraid I won't love you.

Photon Lang

Photon Lang is smart and calm, with a purple "wisdom" badge, but he is not good at expressing his feelings, and sometimes goes to the horns. The collision between the truth of adoption status and his natural intelligence determines his character.

Meimeimeimei

is pure and kind, with a green "innocence" badge, but at the same time she is also a squeamish princess, because she grew up in a good and harmonious family, it is estimated that she is too spoiled.

Azhu

Azhu is sincere and responsible. His gray badge represents "honesty", but he seems a little cowardly and unconfident due to the pressure from his parents and elder brother.

Awu

Awu is A He's younger brother, innocent and full of energy, with a golden "Hope" badge, but he is used to living under the protection of his brother, and will be vulnerable and naive in the face of difficulties.

Jia'er

Jia'er is Taiyi's younger sister. She is gentle and strong, and has a red "Bright" badge, but she always feels a little less energetic than others, and she is too precocious, which also echoes her childhood illness very well. Haunting experience.

In the development of the second

story, "Digimon" gave us a very clear main line.

The first is that the Digimon all evolved from infancy to growth in the confrontation with Kogamon, and then gradually evolved into maturity in the battle against Black Gear and Demon Beasts.

Then they collected badges in the fight against the gorilla beasts, and then there appeared the little evil beasts and the blood-sucking beasts. During this time, the Digimon gradually grew into complete bodies. The ultimate vampire beasts that he encountered later led to the ultimate combat Greymon and Steel Garurumon.

After defeating the blood-sucking monsters, there are the four kings, and finally the big BOSS - a collection of evil thoughts of all the Digimon who were eliminated in the process of evolution.

The evolution of the Digimon is actually the growth of the children again and again. Friendship and family love continue to inspire them. Facing the ever-growing enemy, the children shoulder more and more responsibilities. The battlefield even came from the digital world to the real world. , In the end, the children saved the digital world by relying on their beliefs and those of the Digimon.

At the end of the play, the digital world returns to normal, and the selected children bid farewell to their partners and return to human society.

3.

The main line of "Digimon" is clear, and there are many bright spots in the progress of the plot:

1. In several stages of evolution, the crew has adopted a large number of gathering-scattering-gathering modes, which not only describe the individuals in the team, but also the team. With the cooperation of two or three people, and then returning to the description of the stronger team cohesion in the team, the foundation of multi-line narrative is very solid.

2. The children's mental journey is also growing. From the beginning, they tried every means to go home, but after returning home, they couldn't let go of the digital world. After they realized that saving the digital world means saving their family, they returned to the place where they did everything they could to escape. After seeing the strength of the Four Heavenly Kings, I can't help but feel depressed and have negative emotions. But in the end, the eight of them have gone through so many things, understood the importance of group, and became more united than ever.

3. The badge design of the eight people is also very distinctive. Each badge represents courage, friendship, love, wisdom, innocence, honesty, hope, and light. Eight people are relatively balanced in the team, everyone has their own position, and everyone is indispensable. It is precisely because of this that the eight people truly united at the last minute, making the badge play ten times the power, and solve it in one fell swoop. all disputes.

4. The relationship between the eight children and their relatives is also described in sufficient detail in the play, which makes people feel that the plot is more relevant to their own life. Ah He Ah Wu, whose parents divorced, learned many years later that he was the adopted Mitsuro, Su Na, who has a generation gap with his mother, etc. The family life of these children makes the plot more real and touching.

Overall, the development of the story feels unexpected (presumably because of the many mind-bending fantasy scenes), but when taken as a whole you feel that it is so reasonable, the progress of the story is both expected Besides, it is reasonable.

Fourth

, I have to say that it is also a very important point, that is, the soundtrack of "Digimon". The opening song "Butter Fly" and the episode "Brave Heart" don't need to say much, they always make people's blood boil, and every time they hear it, they are inexplicably moved. In addition to evoking childhood memories, because its melody and lyrics are very representative (though I can't read Japanese), it also has the implication of continuous progress and hard work, plus a little lyricism, it is almost like "Digimon" "Music sketches of the whole film theme.

"Butter Fly" was sung by Koji Wada. When I heard that he passed away a few days ago, I was still a little sad. After all, I heard this song since I was a child; "Brave Heart" is an evolutionary song, and the Digimon are standing in the sacred place. During the evolution, there are spinning numbers all around, as well as badges that emit mysterious beams, that picture, one word, cool; two words, cool; three words, cool!

In addition to these two theme songs, the overall soundtrack of the story is also very exciting, it is easy to lead people into the plot set by the story, and there is an immersive feeling.

Five

"Digimon" has a great feature, that is, it can resonate and recall the audience for a long time. Anyone who has laughed and cried with eight children in childhood will be moved by melodies like "ButterFly" and "BraveHeart" no matter how old they are. "Digimon" is such an anime, maybe it is not widely circulated, but it leaves the memories of that summer in the hearts of our generation, which can flow for many, many years.

    At the end of the summer vacation at the age of 18, I suddenly revisited this series. Originally, I only regarded it as a sentimental one. I never thought it would bring me such complicated feelings. Mysterious adventures, interesting adventures, the plot is simple but not perfunctory, and the core routine is not empty. This is a work for children, but the thickness of the characters is amazing. In addition to their family background, they will also have hesitation, anxiety and depression in the middle and late stages; It's just to find the midpoint of my own mental path. When I see "Everyone's path is different, but the purpose is the same, no matter which path is not easy to take", I can't tell which age group this is for. thing. Back then, I didn't have the slightest knowledge of film and television, and I watched the Hong Kong version of [Several Violence] with my brother, but now I re-watch it and suddenly realize that it's not just an anime. In that strange and ever-changing world, by going back to this vision of the past, I can not only see its original appearance, but also get back to my old self. Of course, there are many broken things in life. It is a kind of luck to encounter [digital]. People should have something that can remind themselves of the beginning of life. It turned out that they also had [dream].
