Japan is indeed a strange nation. The blood flowing on them is half red and half black, both warm and cold, just like their national flower, the cherry blossoms are colorful, red like blood, and the most beautiful moment is the moment of death. This extreme is reflected in literary creation, and it is also very obvious. Early Kawabata Yasunari's "Snow Country", Tanizaki Junichiro's "Key", Oshima Nagisa's "Sensory Kingdom", to the recent Katayama Kyoichi's "Calling for Love in the Center of the World" Whether it is pure love or abnormal love, it is all played to the extreme. As an island country, survival has always been a lingering shadow in Japan. ^), it can be seen from the childhood "Dinosaur Express" to the present "Ultraman Salted Egg", a strange-looking monster with super powers will go to Japan for a walk every three weeks. , Especially after experiencing the Second World War, the Great Depression, and the Sarin Gas Incident, Japan has gradually formed another core of modern culture, namely the doomsday complex. "Dream", "Evangelion EVA" by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, and "Ghost in the Shell" by Oshii Mamoru are all shrouded in despair. In these animation works, most of the future world is infected with the decadent beauty of the post-industrial age. The splendid and prosperous city is faintly flickering with the flames of destruction, the desire for control and fear of machinery and the growing indifference of human emotions throughout. "Bad Boy" is also a member of this dystopian army. The story takes place in a fictional city in the future. Black and white have no parents and no mother since they were young, and rely on their fists to occupy a place in the city, but With the arrival of another gangster group, their survival is greatly threatened. Just like their respective names, Black and White have different personalities. Black has always protected White with all his heart, because he is the only pure thing left in this world. In fact, White is also waiting for Black. He knows that only he can keep it. The last piece of pure land in the black heart. In the end, after a battle between good and evil, Hei left the city with Bai and swam in the sea they once agreed upon. On the surface, the protagonists of the story are two teenagers, but I think the so-called "evil boys" actually refer to the bizarre city, "This city does not belong to anyone at all" "This city changes wantonly, regardless of my thoughts" "The deeper the love for the city, the deeper the injury." The city is always blank and calm. She is always like a newborn baby, waiting for the next owner to dress her up. She once existed There will be no traces of all things, don’t try to stop, the city has no reluctance, no nostalgia, people who indulge in nostalgia can only be abandoned by the city, just like the Suzuki who fell at the foot of the city, compared with the cold wind of the city night, blood The temperature is too insignificant. This is an ironic paradox. Human beings built cities out of a sense of belonging, thinking that they can enjoy peace of mind once and for all. In the sensuality of sensual dogs and horses, they threw themselves into intrigue and tricks, and were exiled in the enjoyment of modern civilization, until one day they found that the "evil boy" he created was flattering to others, and a fight was inevitable. I originally thought that the movie would carry the despair to the end, but it turned out to be a happy one ending, the black and white beach at the end is a primitive virgin land far away from the city, and a Garden of Eden that is absent from modern civilization. Although such a bright ending is beautiful, it will inevitably leave wishful thinking and idealized criticism. After all, it is human innocence to think that you can pin your feelings on this city built of reinforced concrete? Or proud?
