Before I watched it, I felt that the focus of the whole world view of the department was very solemn/metaphysical/philosophical, especially the unique temperament that occurred on the Japanese-style territory, probably not pure retreat. Worm, the perception of the original mixed form between virtual and real, the beginning of confusion, is basically the concept of too virtual. I viewed it as a form game of "Tai Xu".
Take notes as you watch
1. The Green Seat
The little boy who can create life with pen, ink and paper
Yingu's description of the position of the insect, a life form at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, in the entire tree of life is done by metaphor of the branches of one limb of the body.
Dark Green Forest & Green Light
Anti-differentiation: returning to the original "worm" form from human terminal organisms
Light Wine: Water & Memory, Emotions
Insect Banquet: Among the dark forests, tracks and unclear shapes
Raven: Destroyer of Forms
Gender role: dislike, grandma's youthful state, empowered to protect grandson...
2. Light of the Eyelid
second eyelid
absolute darkness
river of light
3. Soft corners
A parasitic worm that lives in the cochlea and feeds on sound
If you cover your ears, new horns will grow on your head to absorb sound
The host is deprived of the ability to pick up the surrounding sounds, but can hear the worms
In the end, it was defeated by the voice of the host's own body.
There is a lava-like sound inside the body
4. Pillow Path
In the dream field, is it the insect that makes people see the future or the insect that transforms the dream into reality?
Live on the channel of dream and reality
The container for this channel is the pillow
Pillow is the abode of the soul
Unsettling dreams are projected into the real world
5. The Swamp of Travel
Swimming swamps,
Liquid Worm's Home
make people transparent
Bride of the River God
In the end, it belongs to the ocean (the story of Hebo?)
groundwater veins map
Determining the homecoming of water bugs in branching groundwater veins with historical river maps
There are memories of the rivers of the past
Life, death leave voids and passages
6. The dew group
parasitic in the nasal cavity
Insects of life and death
The host's life time will be adjusted to the density of the worms
so that they cannot endure the length of human life and are terrified
I like this setting and hate that there are people who are like gossamers in this show
7. The Rainbow After the Rain — My favorite episode so far, the most self-identifying episode
Two travelers discussing the meaning of travel
Concluded in the existence of fluid worms
Although the fluid worm is alive, it is closer to the phenomenon, and it is produced by mixing water and light wine (the most powerful existence in the setting)
Its existence itself has no other meaning, it is just the flow itself
The bridge carpenter who understood the fluid made the kinetic bridge is also a very appropriate end.
