Hope hidden in chaos and despair - Q's insight + a little rebuttal to a very subjective comment

Q's entire article seems to reveal a sense of powerlessness and darkness everywhere, which is depressing at first glance, but after repeated reflections, a trace of light will flicker in the darkness and silence, and this trace of light is the essence of Q.
The characters in EVA are not perfect, but these imperfect people make up the perfect EVA. As the protagonist, Shinji is against the mindset of the perfect protagonist in film and television works. It is this innovation that enables EVA to rise from many animes and enter our hearts, because everyone has a Shinji in their hearts, but we don't. Just admit it.
After watching it, the most unforgettable scene is probably the scene where Shinji wanted to rescue Rei from the S2 organ at all costs, not to please others and sit on the EVA, but to achieve his own desires. At that moment, Shinji finally found himself. This should have been exciting, a young man who was always running away has finally grown up. But when Shinji woke up, he found that he had endured physical and mental pain and fought bloody battles for himself and others, but in exchange for an inhuman Ayanami, the loneliness of abandonment and disgust, the guilt of destroying the world, and being exploited The powerlessness of being deceived and concealed, he found that what he was proud of and the meaning of life turned out to be just a lie and deception, which made him collapse and despair. But I think in the film, there are at least three "lights" of hope. This is the highlight of Q, and it may be an insinuation of the transformation of the next EVA.
The first glimmer of "hope" was that when Shinji decided to leave, Misato didn't press the button to detonate. Even after 14 years, the young man in front of him is still the one who guided, supported, encouraged, and gave love back then. Anno's technique is also very clever. At the beginning, he tried his best to exaggerate Misato's indifference to Shinji, which formed a huge gap compared with the first two (especially TV), and quickly made the audience feel Shinji's extreme helplessness and loneliness, emotional He was quickly replaced, and it was precisely because of this feeling that Shinji chose to escape. Then in the chat room, Misato only said one sentence from beginning to end, as if to show her indifference. Even when the zero machine invaded later, Misato spoke to Shinji in a cold and imperative tone, which made people feel Reminds me of Commander Ikari. But when Ritsuko asked Misato to press the DSS, she could see from the screen that Misato was gritting her teeth, and the hand holding the DSS controller was shaking. She was unable to press the trigger, and finally left the control range. down the controller. Presumably since seeing Shinji, Misato has been struggling in her heart. On the one hand, it is the love she has given, and on the other hand, it is the responsibility she must bear as a captain, so she chose to be indifferent, just like Commander Ikari once did. At this time, Miri should have felt the helplessness of being an organization leader. It is the strong contrast in Misato's character that strongly accentuates her unwavering love for Shinji. Maybe after Shinji returns to the ship in the fourth installment, Misato's love for him will be revealed again. In such a desperate atmosphere, it is also unique to savor this unique love.
The second thread of "hope" is Nagisa Kaoru, and it is also the most prominent hope in the whole article. Seeing Nagisa Kaoru and Shinji playing the piano and watching the stars, it seems to have returned to the beautiful days before the shock, without any sense of burden. The hope that Nagisa Kaoru brought to Shinji was very strong, but it made Shinji fall even worse, but Nagisa Kaoru's death instead highlighted the breath of despair, pushing Shinji into collapse and decadence.
The last hope, at the end of the film, in the red desert, although the world has been destroyed, but beside the decadent Shinji, there is at least one idiot kid who really loves him Asuka. Although the three of Ayanami have not yet found their soul, but from the movement of her picking up Shinji's Walkman, it seems that they can see the shadow of the former Ayanami. Everything goes round and round, and so does hope and despair. In the dead LCL wasteland, the figures of the three gradually drifted away. It is precisely because the hope in despair is very small that we can clearly feel it, so we must work hard to live, not only for ourselves, but also for the sake of Those who love themselves and those they love. The music of the ending song sounded, the sound was still so lonely, echoing on the empty earth, but when the song "Everybody finds love", and in the dark background at the curtain call, there was only a red light looming, as if it was once again. It is telling us that hope, no matter how small, still exists, we must live and find our love and value... Hope hidden in chaos and despair, when the three lonely figures and this song appear at the same time , I burst into tears in an instant, for this real struggle in the dark, and this struggle often touches our hearts the most. In fact, real life is like the world shown in EVA. The most precious light is often hidden in the dark. Once found, we will be full of power. I think this is the precious thing that EVA has brought me. It makes me understand that the more powerless I am, the more I should cherish every ray of hope in my life.

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Some words (I've endured it for a long time!!): After all, the real classic is not to please anyone, and the classic does not need the evaluation of people who don't know it. As much as you get out of it, as much is yours. It doesn't cost money to scold anyway, but you'll miss something of real value.
