The masterpiece that I believed in when I was a child, I thought that only I could fully appreciate the loneliness, sadness and beauty, with a little philosophy, metaphysics, and the story of Christ, yes, although I don’t fully understand it, it is beautiful, those smiling classmates Will not understand, yes, that is the deepest and most beautiful sorrow.
At this age, I don't think so anymore. The convoluted setting, the plot is deliberately not explained clearly, the posture and expression of the commander Beiqi, the boring apostle shape, the far-fetched cross, the people who shouted inexplicably and unnaturally, and fell in love inexplicably. The male protagonist, the preaching after Shinji went to save Lingbo Zero (but Japanese movies like preaching), found signs of imperfection everywhere.
The sad and angry words, the angry words against his will, the self-harm words and behaviors that Shinji said were so childish and so obvious and helpless. Until now, this kind of setting seems to have never been followed. It carved my heart as a child like a knife, and now I see that the wound is still there.
Why do I feel so similar to me? Maybe after decades, I am still angry and awkward, and no one looks at me and loves me.
