, the main reason for writing the following things is that after watching "Broken" widely for domestic fans, I saw the new theatrical version of "EVA" in "24 Frames". An interview report produced behind the scenes of "Broken". I was able to see relevant information about the behind-the-scenes production of the new theater version in time, and I was really excited at that time. It’s been a long time since I’ve felt this way. Regardless of how others read it, for an old audience of "EVA" like me, it feels like a treasure. After all, I’m working now, and I really don’t have much time and energy to collect relevant information like before. And it is precisely after reading this interview that it seems that I have once again regained the consciousness of pursuing and passionate about "EVA".
After reading this interview, I compare the behind-the-scenes production process of "Broken" by the producer. Some of my previous interpretations and understandings of "Po" have been confirmed, while others have been revised. Among them, what interests me most is when talking about the finale of "EVA", the producer said that from the perspective of the production team, the "For You" in 1997 is actually the ending of "EVA" in their hearts. NS. And it was this sentence that led me to the urge to write the following. (The impulse is the devil!). As a result, individuals with weak willpower used their spare time to start collecting relevant materials about "True For You". As a result, most of the things I sorted out have been interpreted impeccably by the heroes before, so I don’t pay attention. These clumsy words may be reduced to a kind of futile "repetition", but it is in this process of re-excavating, I even see the perseverance of every EVA fellow from the beginning to the end. And determination (from the point of view of a person with weak willpower of course), and the "overlap" accompanied by a lot of thinking, is even more encouraging to me. Right together, wrong together!) It is even more necessary to write out my feelings about "True Heart For You", not for the sake of setting new standards, not for the vanity of the past, but for a journey of heart that has been entrusted for ten years. And love. It can be regarded as my belated "contribution" to the "gospel cause"!
After comparing the various changes in "Broken", I was able to give "tenderness" to his work and the characters in the work in the process of reshaping "EVA" for the "ruffian" who had to be "gentle" to the world. I am very curious. Furthermore, in the process of comparing the old version with "Broken", some things were removed, other elements were introduced, and some things were retained. Even with so many changes in "Broken", the producers still say that in their opinion "For You" is the ending of EVA in their hearts, which really surprises me. The old saying goes: "Review the old and learn the new". It is for this reason that I really want to and sort out my understanding of "True For You". With the help of some information revealed by the producer in this interview, combined with a little bit of my own thoughts, try to find out what kind of "heart" the ruffian has left for everyone in this controversial ending.
The Chaos
of the Human Completion Project For the "Human Completion Project", I first want to say that I do not want to exhaust the so-called religious, philosophical or even mysterious theories derived from this setting. Because this will only deviate from the fundamental principle of viewing an animation, and become a show off, which goes against the original intention of writing this article. Here I just want to briefly use the setting of "Human Completion Project", first analyze some of the logical composition arrangements of the plot in the story, and sort out the main line of the story about "EVA", and then use it as the following. Provide basis and basis for the analysis of the theater version.
Simply put, "Human Completion Project"-the main line setting that runs through the entire EVA story. In the process of its interpretation, this plan is actually split into many different parts, and the final "Humanity" "Completion Plan" is a "compromised plan" that exceeds everyone's expectations. Although the "Human Completion Project" in "EVA" is defined as a mysterious and grand plan, under the setting of the plot, this plan is divided into several parts and carried out simultaneously before the date of the contract. Yes, (I personally guess that in this setting, the ruffian is actually referring to the principle of engineering division of labor in making animation.) First of all, after the second impact, he realized the insufficiency and recklessness of mankind's blind use of science and technology. Therefore, the "Artificial Evolution Institute" was organized to carry out the "EVA" test plan, and after the trial production of the "EVA" test product was completed, the corresponding "Human Completion Completion" was formulated according to the timetable in the "Four Seas Scrolls". The final plan of the plan. The transfer of all members of the Institute of Artificial Evolution to NERV marks the official start of the human completion program. (But please note that this is just the beginning, because everyone including SEELE doesn't know whether this plan of serving the human will can be completed successfully.) And the protagonist in "EVA" is also under this opportunity. He started all kinds of "chaos".
By grasping the whole context of the story, we can infer the following situation:
First, as the third Tokyo city as the headquarters of NERV, the fortress that meets the apostles, its duties defined by SEELE are only limited to step by step before the date of the contract. To prevent and annihilate all the apostles’ incursion. The three EVA units, including the No.1 unit, are in charge of Yuandu. In SEELE's eyes, it's just a combat tool, not the "ideal body" in its plan to trigger the completion of the plan for humans. (This is in "Broken" about the setting of SEELE on the surface of the moon for the No. 6 machine. I believe everyone should be able to see it, and it can be returned to support the above analysis.) At the same time, in other NERV divisions in the world, there are related Other preparations for the "Human Replenishment Project" are also being carried out simultaneously, including the integration test for the S2 mechanism, the development and production of the mass production machine for the "assisted replenishment ceremony", etc., and all of this is In order to ensure that when the day of the contract comes, SEELE will launch the human completion plan under their plan according to their will.
Similarly, from this we can know that under the deployment of SEELE, the occurrence of the story is only one part of the entire completion plan (so at the beginning, SEELE was only a five-member committee represented by the chairman of the road to supervise and supervise the Yuan. It was not until the No.1 plane that the S2 organ was self-dissolved, which made the entire SEELE committee restless and “highly concerned” Yuandu’s betrayal). And Ikogento, the person in charge of the Human Completion Project, has his own plan, that is, to use the first machine with a unique soul to achieve his "Human Completion Project" in his mind. I have to say that the price SEELE paid for this is huge, but in the process of their various failures, Yuandu has kept a low profile and developed a little bit. When the fourth branch disappeared, the SEELE plan was frustrated, but Yuandu passed the initial stage. The number machine self-solved the S2 agency and "excessively" fulfilled the scheduled task assigned to him by SEELE. And this makes the SEELE members who are in a very embarrassing situation love and hate Yuandu. "Love" is because the first aircraft has completed an important experiment with S2, and "Hate" is that Yuandu has actually obtained the "ideal medium" for them to implement the replenishment plan. However, at this time, Yuan Du and SEELE's face had not been torn, and SEELE did not know Yuan Du's specific intentions. In this way, what is shown in the TV version is more of the "persuasion and education" of Yuandu (after all, the initiative is in Yuandu's hands). And it was under such interlocking interpretations that the final "showdown" of SEELE Tongyuandu in the beginning of EOE was achieved. Under the urging of the day of the contract, both parties eventually "cannot stretch themselves", and began to try their best to achieve their respective goals and resort to unscrupulous means. Thus, the completion plan that determines the future destiny of mankind kicked off in "For You".
The dead end before completion
If the end of the story is inferred according to common sense, all characters should gather under their respective camps and banners for a tit-for-tat life and death duel. On the other hand, "Sincere For You", yes, from the subsequent plot, it is also an ultimate duel, but it only completed the second half of the above routine. In the face of the powerful SEELE and the resources he has at his disposal, NERV is not a smooth organization in operation. In the face of the enemy's offensive, everyone's choice is to "fight for themselves." Shinji chose to be lost and confused and closed himself; Misato also made up his own mind after finding the answer to her painstaking pursuit; Yuanto and Fuyutsuki acted as the guides of NERV, pretending to be calm and barely resisting. ;Only the poor "three-person group" is still conscientiously completing their work.
In fact, every time I see the beginning of this movie, I will be under a lot of pressure. According to the plot, Shinji at that time had just wiped out the last apostle of Zhuxun, and the hope that he recalled by Zhuxun was ruthlessly destroyed by his own hands under the burden of the "destiny of mankind." The apostle’s Nagaki was wiped out by others, so Shinji can still "deceive himself" as a bystander to this enemy who pays attention to him, but the reality is that this arduous mission has once again burst into him. This The contradiction and conflict interpreted by the ruffian, if it were not "fate", I really don't know what else it should be called! So far, I’m afraid I still can’t find a work (except for the irregular...you know!) that can unreservedly portray the protagonist’s decadent mental state to such an extreme, you know... (Even if it is the setting of this complex now, I still can't tell whether this is the deepness of the ruffian or his malicious revenge.) So the lost and lost Shinji stayed by the lake until dawn, in order to maintain his weak existence Feeling, he came to Asuka again. Under the continuous misfortunes, his sanity had long been abandoned. He just needed a place where he could get a moment of peace. In Asuka, he got that moment of peace. And mental paralysis...Of course, in his "own way."
Looking at others, Yuandu has completely broken with SEELE, Misato continues to pursue the truth, Ritsuko finally waited for the chance to avenge Yuandu, the entire NERV is completely in a state of fighting on its own, maintaining operation half-push and half-stop. On the other hand, human beings finally launched an uncompromising attack on their own kind under the agitation of SEELE for their own desire for survival. Looking at the development of the story, zero awakening eventually disrupted Yuandu's plan, and Yuandu became a witness of this sacred plan from the original plan to be executed. Even when Lingbo sacrificed himself for Shinji's post-filled world, Shinji's wishful thinking denied, Shinji's loss and sorrow after all the strangers after Shinji's rebirth. The final completion of the plan still happened, not according to anyone's expectations, but it also did not disappoint any one's expectations. So what exactly are the people in the play vying for, so Nietzsche tells us that it is will, the supreme will to power, the will to rule and control the destiny of oneself and others. (Don’t be
offended by nonsense...)
After comparing "Broken" and "EOE", it is not difficult to find that Asuka is always an awakener in the story of EVA. I remember that it was the first time I saw it. In "EOE", when I saw Asuka's unreserved recovery under the call of his mother, and gorgeously confronted the United Nations army and challenged my own destiny, I was really moved and burst into tears.
Here I also very much agree that Tsuraki Kazuya praised Anno’s technical ability in the interview. In fact, when reading EVA, we do sometimes place too much emphasis on Anno’s literary attainments, while ignoring Anno’s technical excellence and Strong, no, or because of too much literary attention, it ignores the superb technical level of the riffraff dedicated to this superb work. From my personal point of view, not only in Asuka's awakening, but also in the whole "EOE", the shock that Anye brings to us, including the visual, auditory, and spiritual shocks, can be said to be all-round and coherent. The ruffian’s is very coherent. Grasp the audience's feelings. Just as Tsuraki Kazuya said, what the ruffian does is to make himself cool before allowing the audience to examine it freely. At this point, the ruffian's selfishness has created the unquestionable shocking effect of the gods. As for the tragic effects of Asuka here, I would like to comment on it randomly based on a little bit of my own experience.
The most touching thing about the tragedy is that it embodies a kind of "checks and balances" relationship. The specific manifestation of the aesthetic effect of this tragedy is simply: Although the misery in the play makes the character doomed, the spirit of the character has never been compromised. This state can be accepted by the audience and peacefully transition beyond the tragedy. In real life, compared to the result of a comedy when the individual obtains the joy of everyone, the viewer can only keep this joyful state on the stage, and it is difficult to maintain it for a long time in the real state. It was precisely because of the effects of tragedy that the sorrowful seeds of the audience were germinated, and they reached a entanglement and resonance with the whole work. In this process, the tragic role not only retains the greatness of the spirit, but also recognizes the objective necessity (rather than easily use the comic effect to weaken the objective reality), thus creating a delicate balance that cannot be dissipated for a long time. It is precisely under this aesthetic balance that the audience's thoughts can not be forgotten. (This is in line with the aesthetic principles of my Libra.)
In EOE, Asuka is showing the unrepentant and unyielding of the awakened in this cruel tragedy. With the start-up time running out, she remained high-spirited, without a trace of worries, worked hard without a trace of hesitation, her self-confidence was so thorough, she did not hesitate to deceive herself, and imposed her cruelty on the enemy until her companion. The spear of Longinus, which represents impermanent fate, pierced the second unit under the catastrophe metaphorized in the magnificence of music, and the greedy predator of the mass-produced unit further enhanced this horrible atmosphere. Expansion, and accompanied by endless waves of sound effects, Asuka's absolute defense of herself is even more determined and unrepentant under the background of the Longinus gun that penetrated her arm. (However, I always feel that this seems to further express the extreme resentment of the ruffian hiding behind the scenes, "Let me admit my mistake, and there is no door!") At this moment Asuka became the first awakened person in the play, but also became One is to make up the most noble living sacrifice before the ceremony, and then the prelude to make up with Shinji's hoarse wailing begins.
Emptiness-our betrayal, which is not betrayal under the
completion process, seems to be filled with betrayal, anger, fear, danger and anxiety, tragedy and tragedy appear alternately. But if you take a closer look, what the ruffian wants to express is everyone's paranoia about themselves and misunderstandings about others. Ritsuko's hatred was Yuandu's use of him, but in the final analysis, even she herself knew that she was actually being used by Yuandu wishingly. Yuandu's attitude of zero is also a product of his obsession with Wei, and Dongyue even calls zero a product of despair. SEELE even "jumped over the wall" in order to beg for the fate of themselves and the suffering of mankind. These sudden occurrences have become an inevitable sense of destiny under the riffraff’s interpretation. The audience will not be shocked, and will even accept all this with predictability and plainness in the tragic atmosphere created by the riffraff. Want to express a rational numbness? No, it's a resonance in the face of "emptiness".
Under the beautiful melody that was completed, the "emptiness" in people's hearts gradually appeared as "zero" under the call of Lilis, and this hidden "empty" manifestation is exactly what humans desperately hide. "For yourself."
Facing this cruel world, we seem so powerless, yet unwilling to do so, so we silently endure it, reluctantly reluctantly implement it, and even deceive ourselves to enshrine our needs as our needs, comforting our empty hearts, until The reality shattered all of this, and we saw the "emptiness" wrapped under the fragments, the "zero" in each of us. It is this emptiness that allows us to look for our "enemies" and turn others into our "enemies"; it is this emptiness that allows us to treat others as our own "lovers" wishfully and desperately please To please our "lovers"; it is this emptiness that allows us to carry through the "ignorance" we regard as everything, and cruelly push this "ignorance" to strange and innocent people. And all of this is just to get rid of the "emptiness" that none of us have ever gotten rid of. (The above remarks are only used for EVA analysis)
It turns out that our "hate" is so meaningless, it turns out that our "love" is so futile, and it turns out that our implementation of ourselves is unreasonable. So we accepted all this helplessly, calmed the waves in our hearts and returned to nothingness under the supplemented melody. The noise has been shielded, and the anxiety in my heart has disappeared. Everything is only waiting quietly, until the call recalls everything again. So, with a rejection, we regained ourselves.
In the end, Shinji must be awakened by Asuka. Because Asuka is the spokesperson of reality, it is also a symbol of the continuation of life under hope.
Complete the confusion of reality and reality
The most successful thing about the ruffian is that he can honestly integrate his feelings into his works, whether it is violence or home, whatever he cares about, it’s good to put everything into it, so this work of EVA It gives the viewer so much real feelings. Why can we continuously extract the results of various theories in the continuous review of EVA? The reason lies in the sincerity of the ruffian and the nakedness of his own state of mind. Show. Because whether it is the simplest common sense or the most profound theories, they all come from our real experience in reality. Only this feeling can go through the baptism of years, break the barriers of the region, and become the support and source of our thinking. And Anye used his own true feelings to make the magic mirror of EVA. In front of this mirror, everyone who has true feelings will use this mirror to show his inner image. This The image makes ourselves clearer and projects him into the environment of EVA, and this is the depth of the ruffian. The characters in EVA have no mystery that surpasses our life experience, but they are far more vivid and unpredictable than any preaching mystery, and the perfect effect created by the two-dimensional element makes her so ambiguous and distant, and this is exactly what anime is. The charm lies.
Don't ask me about the logic of this work here, because the connotation given by this work has long gone beyond the limits and constraints of logic. He allows us to shuttle between the self, the truth and the reality, with our affirmation of ourselves in the confusion, but vaguely makes us unconsciously swallow the bitter fruit of self-abandonment, only the helpless, struggling choking, makes us We are in the midst of contradictions that can't be dissipated for a long time.
The start of the replenishment plan started in the scene where the dialogue between Asuka and Shinji broke down. According to the TV version's inference, it can indeed be regarded as Asuka when he learned of blessing to eliminate misfortune, because of the quarrel with Shinji. background. In EOE, the confrontation between Shinji and Asuka can be regarded as the intersection of "reality" and "reality" repeatedly mentioned in the second half of the theater version, which is based on the actual dispute between the two in the TV version. In the completion ceremony, the communication between the hearts of the two under the scene of this process (including the previous kiss with Shinji also reflects the two people's different feelings about the same thing.)
In the entire "EVA" we can often see close-ups of the hands, and Shinji is the most important point. This is a means of maintaining Shinji's sense of self-presence, as I said in the appreciation of "Broken" Yes, Shinji is different from Asuka. Asuka's sense of existence was established by herself. Regarding this sense of existence, Asuka’s attitude is: either fully affirm it or destroy it all. It is precisely on the basis of this character that he can fill in the sentence of Asuka: "If you can't all belong to me, I would rather do nothing. No." This also makes her relationship with people around her seem so incompatible. And before the completion of the ceremony, the scene with Shinji was compared with the memory of Asuka under the attack of the bird angel spirit in Chapter 22, and we can infer that this scene is actually two people’s different understandings of the same thing, and Asuka longs for it. Shinji pays attention wholeheartedly, but Shinji avoids even perfunctory with an ambiguous attitude. Of course, this is based on Shinji's character, but from the perspective of Asuka's character, it cannot be tolerated. In the meantime, there is no compromise, which makes Asuka's extremely self-arrogant and inferiority more irreconcilable, and this has turned into Shinji's harm to Asuka. On the other hand, Shinji's sense of existence cannot be said to be absent, but it is extremely undesirable. Therefore, in the story, we can often see that while he refuses others, the other side carefully picks up what others know about him. Pieces of fragments, piece together his own sense of existence, a praise from Yuandu can make him desperate, and a sigh from Zhuxun can make him fascinated. (Are we also overwhelmed after being ridiculed by strangers in order to prove ourselves in Chapter 16? Or defending ourselves aggressively because of the very reaction of others? This is a kind of maintenance and warning of our own sense of existence .) All of this was produced under his real feelings, and then was destroyed by the impermanence of reality. His reality made him believe, but a copy of reality always made him feel confused, and the ruffian was just using sound. The special effects of light movies create this interweaving environment of reality and reality. The ruffian assigns his true feelings to each role separately, and here again uses a direct and cruel method to gather these scattered feelings under the completion ceremony, so that they gather under the roof of a spiritual completion, and examine While hurting each other while hurting each other, each character suffers double hardship and discomfort under this sharing of hearts. Therefore, it is under the scent of this endless harm that neither Shinji nor Asuka can save anyone, desperate. Shinji finally chose to open the door to the human replenishment plan.
Here I want to unreservedly admit the ruffian’s sensitivity as a house, and at the same time, I also want to admire his technical excellence. (I believe that if EVA turns into a draft like a prostitution, no matter how my soul is set, I’m afraid it’s hard for me. Receiving from the senses, it can also reflect the immortality of EVA, whether in the connotation of the work or the quality of the work.)
The meaning of the completion
remember that in the EOE SEELE mentioned at the beginning, "In order to make God, human And all lives can finally be united into one through'filling up'." Please note that this is the main point of filling up. It can be inferred that the fusion of Lilith and Adam is only the part of the entire supplementary plan that involves the gods, and in the end, when the aircraft opened the twelve wings of light as the symbol of the gods, just like Lilis in the ceremony. Through this ritual, God also achieved abandoning his own form and "unified into one" with the No. 1 machine. Here, personal understanding should refer to Nietzsche's famous propositions "Death of God" and "Superman". God is not only the bearer of suffering, but also the creator of the spiritual home of mankind. He uses himself to endure all the sufferings of reality, in exchange for the dreams compiled by his own beliefs, and the spiritual world of mankind is brought into his dreams. , The old temple was destroyed, and the new temple constructed by the first machine carried a new paradise for the human spirit. And the EVA No. 1 machine is the temple that carries the more magnificent human dreams. Both humans and gods broke through their own limits through the rituals of making up and marched into the vast universe. This is probably also the origin of the name of the background music "Expansion of Blocking".
It was in the gentleness of the first half of this melody that Shinji felt the warmth that others passed on to him in the dream created by Zero, that is, zero attention and love, and experienced happiness in this gentle ocean, and The true desire for hope, and shaking hands with Zero actually means that Shinji has abandoned this ambiguous dream and has completely established his sense of self-presence. But this has become Zero’s sorrow, because it means that Zero has given up herself and paved the way to make up for Shinji. In the end, she and Shinji are not connected. Although there is Shinji’s willfulness here, it is Shinji who is The positive decision he made, so Zero also silently accepted it. Therefore, in the second half of the magnificence, with the words of hope and love and the blessings of Yui and Nagisa, what ushered in is not only the birth of a new god and the beginning of leading mankind to the universe, but also Shinji. The road of rebirth after the reshaping of the self. It is precisely because of all the above that there is the interpretation of life by Nakura and Zero:
"Because reality exists in the unknown, while dreams exist in reality, and reality exists in our hearts. Because the image of human beings is made up of People’s hearts are shaped, and new images will change people’s hearts and images. Imagery, imagination, and our future are developed by the torrent of time. It’s just that human beings don’t act on their own will and nothing will change. , So the lost self can only be retrieved by one's own power, even if one loses his own point of view, or is confused by the speech of others. As long as he can create his own image with heart, anyone can return to his human form."
After the completion of the ritual, even though Shinji hopes to return to his former state, when he wakes up, what he sees is still not the result he wants, and the reality after the completion, just as Zero told him : "The reality is the end of the dream." The empty environment at the time made Shinji once again doubtful about his own existence. He squeezed Asuka's neck forcefully, perhaps in order to avenge Asuka for not responding to his hopes, but the author believes that this is not entirely Shinji's sense of his own existence and doubts about his choice and existence, and it also reflects An implementation of his self-denial sense of Asuka in the make-up ceremony. And when Asuka's bandaged hand gently stroked his cheek, he was awakened again by this real touch. This is the theme of "I NEED YOU". We can only perceive ourselves when we come into contact with the object, otherwise everything is just endless emptiness, which does not need to be verified, because reality has already attached the answer to us irrefutably. Truth is the only support you and I can distinguish from each other in this puzzle of things.
A work that can connect the plot of the story with the inner world of the character so closely is definitely enough to be called a very beautiful existence in the history of animation. The enduring charm of EVA after ten years is here. With the setting of the story, it can be almost perfect to release the characteristics of the characters in the story. During this period, there may be many logical unbearables, but it makes the viewer feel In the process of watching, I didn't feel any artificiality, hypocrisy, or even redundancy. Some people call it a "metafiction" setting, but I want to make it more directly an independent creation that does not rely on any routine. It is the independence of EVA that even if it is gloomy and gloomy, it still makes us drink poison to quench our thirst and want to stop; even if we have no intentions in the animation elements, it can turn decay into magic and obsolescence into miracles; even if the purpose of commercial sales is So blatant, but he still doesn't change and persevere in his supporters. In the final analysis, this is because of his "sincerity", even if this sincerity is so extreme and unbearable, even if this sincerity is so controversial, but our feelings after chasing this work for ten years are true. A truth that has persisted for ten years and never doubted! No matter what we are after, isn't it what we want in the end to be touched and moved by that "reality" in the process?
The other message that the ruffian has been cautiously passing on is "reality." For everyone, our cognition of "reality" is incomplete, so we often use our perception of "reality" to supplement our lack of reality, and then we will also From time to time, I am confused, confused and disappointed because I can’t tell which ones are "our reality" and which ones are this "world reality". It is difficult to get out of the vicious circle of distress for a while, and that is the manifestation of our failure to clearly understand the truth and reality. After the "sweet death", images in the form of live-action movies are displayed in front of the viewers. The simulated scenery of the third Tokyo city and the scene of busy people gradually blur the boundaries between animation and reality, drawing readers from the perspective of animation. Back to the observation of reality. Yes, what the ruffian wants to tell us is still a way of our existence in the face of reality! The riffraff’s greatest success in "EVA" is that, through a cartoon, he actually fitted a kind of people’s true feelings about the "real environment" and brought the audience’s senses through the environment he created. Enter into a state of being on the scene and empathizing deeply. (Perhaps, as said in the interview. Because the ruffian is a "house" first, he knows the feelings and needs of "house", and then expresses this feeling of "house" in his works, so as to watch They reached a consensus.) The plan created by "EVA" is actually the plan in our lives that seems to be predetermined by us but is actually swayed by reality. He has never stopped because of our slowness, and will not fly away with our sadness. , He is even more like a fate that no one can escape, (in "Broken", you can see everywhere, some established settings, regardless of whether it is parallel space or reincarnation) but this setting is It exists. The most prominent thing about the ruffian is to grasp the real-perceived relationship between reality and self. The success of EVA is the ability to continuously reorganize reality and reality and then destroy it, thereby stimulating the audience's immersive and empathetic desire to watch in this process. As an animation work, I am afraid that no matter how I interpret the reference of the element of "reality", it will make people feel difficult to persuade. But in EOE, it is not difficult for us to find the riffraff's use of the "reality" element. In fact, in the process of comparing "Broken", I admit that the EVA in the old century was a work of worship for the nerds, while the EVA in the new century was an animation work for the general public. The reason why I want to comment like this is because after comparing the old and new editions, it is not difficult to find that the ruffian in the new edition has added a strong sense of life and mass effects to the grasp of the future. This is not available in the TV version or even in the EOE. In the TV version, the ruffian is a very prominent main role overall, and the environment is basically not rendered too much, even if it is such an imposing battle in Ushima. The characters are limited to only a few people. Although it can highlight the intersection of the characters’ hearts and strengthen the viewer’s personal sensory awareness, on the other hand, there is no overall strength. Li effect. And this perspective fully reflects a kind of unique vision and worldview of the nerd, that is, he is only interested in the things he cares about, and can completely ignore or even ignore other things (in short, it is very irresponsible to outsiders) . Even the grand mistakes of the scene in EOE bring out the stubbornness and cruelty between people, while in "Broken", the environment with a strong vision and living atmosphere is repeatedly added, and the audience watched The angle of view is also opened to make people feel comfortable. Of course, there are growth and breakthroughs in the worldview of the ruffian. But it is also certain that the original intention of the ruffian is still to use this method to awaken the attention of the people around the life, instead of blindly preaching like 25 and 26. (It can also be explained that the ruffian has done something bad, but I think it's more like an explosion of resentment). In EOE, this transition from the two-dimensional to the three-dimensional reality is the method of the world, which has actually been expressed by Anye in another way. In the second half of the supplement, the ruffian gradually transitioned the two-dimensional and three-dimensional reality scenes, such as the physical effects of the third Tokyo city, and the live-action version of Zero, Asuka, and Misato from the back. Even in the process, I did not forget to display the threatening letters and denunciations I received, accompanied by the ironic but more profound lines such as "reality is the end of dreams". And the arrangement of wrapping a little hope under the impermanent destiny in the handling of the end is an excellent grasp of the balance between reality and reality. Even in the process, I did not forget to display the threatening letters and denunciations I received, accompanied by the ironic but more profound lines such as "reality is the end of dreams". And the arrangement of wrapping a little hope under the impermanent destiny in the handling of the end is an excellent grasp of the balance between reality and reality.

The Lessons of Reincarnation under the Reincarnation of Soul——Some extras
on "Broken" The story background of "Broken" is officially defined as a parallel world, but when I think of this somehow, I always think of that song "Reincarnation of the Soul", and can’t help pretending to quote a sage’s epitaph, that’s the legacy of our great teacher Marx:
Philosophers just interpret the world in different ways, and the problem is to transform the world. .
I remember reading from the talk show in the EVA supplement of "Animation Base" that Hayao Miyazaki once said that the ending of EOE is that Shinji has not changed and has not grown, and the ruffian has admitted it. But personally, even if everything goes back to the original point, Shinji in EOE is definitely not standing still without growing up, and this is the essential difference between Master Miyazaki and Anno Rabbi, as the palace of mature elders. Saki Hayao pays more attention to a breakthrough in the realization of personal ideals and social recognition, while the ruffian is an otaku who pays more attention to his own feelings, one is a doer who values actual results, and the other is more important Experienced senior nerd of the process. Their perspectives are bound to be different, so although their mutual evaluations are desirable but not comprehensive, the two people’s deficiencies in each are indeed worthy of our attention. The fact is that from the results predicted by the master, the ruffian did not break through his own gods. The aura was fulfilled; and from the perspective of the gods’ ruffians, no one of Studio Ghibli’s successors was also mentioned, because they could all see each other’s weaknesses and deficiencies from their own point of view, and these are the two. The difference in personal focus makes it impossible for the two to come together. Here, the master's foresight of the ruffian is based on the experience of a doer, and the ruffian's foresight of the master is also his experience. It is a unique sensitivity of a nerd to the reality and objective environment.
Some people also say that Shinji has not changed until the end of EOE, but I do not agree. I always think that although Shinji in the ending of EOE did not grow significantly, it does not mean that there is no change, at least in the process of completion. , He felt his own existence, and this was by no means a passive self-defense under external stimuli. It’s a real heartfelt request to the zero who executed the supplementary plan. This is already an improvement for this teenager who used to obey other people’s orders. I have compared "Broken" with the TV version before. It is said that Shinji is a boy who lacks a sense of existence under the setting of the TV version. When in Chapter 24, why did Shinji kill Nagisa Kaoru with his own hands? Did he just take the fate of mankind and have to do it? No, because that is Nagisa Kaoru’s "humanity's expectation" and "Shinji's hope as the last apostle" ", and Shinji mistakenly regarded Nagisa Kaoru as another dependent life-saving straw that can maintain his sense of existence, and it is precisely because of this that Shinji will follow his "dependency" and destroy it. Imagine if Shinji's self-awareness is stronger, would he refuse to fight even in name, and this has been expressed in the manga version, and the relationship between Nagisa Kaoru and Shinji is no longer so in the manga version. "Ambiguous", even if Nagisa Kaoru still expressed concern for Shinji, Shinji in the comic version is more selfish than Shinji in the TV version. So let’s go back to the end of EOE. If Shinji hasn’t grown up and hasn’t changed, how can he feel that the world he created by Zero is not the world he expected, and how can he take the initiative to pay such zero for him? To express gratitude (even if it was an unintentional injury to Zero), and how he faced the influence of "Zero" and "Zhu Kaoru" constructed by hope, and said his decision, and when he was once again by Asuka When stroking, he didn't choose to escape and dodge like in the previous TV version, and the expression of concentration was not really perceiving the reality he wanted. In Chapter 23, facing Zero sacrificed for him, even though it was so painful and he was so indifferent, at the end of EOE, why Shinji finally choked and cried, because he finally found his own in the chaos Existence has found the home of his own soul, so he can let the real self make a decision, even if it is facing an unmanageable mess and suffering all this, I want to say, Shinji in EOE has indeed changed, but his changes seem to be insignificant in the aftermath of the huge completing ceremony and tragedy. It can even be ignored inadvertently. A person's changes will really make the surroundings. Has everything changed? The Kagura in "Inuyasha" is After getting rid of Naraku's control, the freedom he had hoped for was so embarrassed that he could only choose to disappear under the gaze of Sesei Maru. No, again, the personal change in the face of this cruel reality can only be regarded as the sublimation of the soul. I used this sentence in "Broken", but it still holds true in EOE. Yes, I saw and felt the tenderness of the ruffian in "Broken", but it does not mean that he has changed, the ruffian. Or the ruffian, whether it was the ruffian who was once full of resentment, or the gentle old house of the current head of the family, what he has been seeking is "change." Shinji's change, zero change, tomorrow's change, everyone's change, if in EOE he expresses this change so cryptically and helplessly, then in "Broken", his intention to change It is so "clearly revealed"!
It was the ruffian’s persistent persistence that only after ten years of "Broken" rebirth, Shinji who seemed to have changed but never changed. In EOE, he was saved by Misato, completed by zero, and awakened by Asuka and finally found. Own, then in "Broken" he saved Misato and Lingbo with his own will and courage, and he will also save Asuka, the world that SEELE looks incurable, and complete Weihe Yuandu's wish. (As for whether he will accept the happiness that Zhuxun gave him, that is another matter.) The form and complex of "Broken" have changed, but the original intention in the EVA story to make up for the incompleteness of each of us No change. Even if the new theater will eventually become a tragedy of "three steps, two steps back" as predicted by the online ID signature, Shinji is once again exposed to the troubled reincarnation at the mercy of fate; the two men will become victims again; Nagisa Kaoru will The promise of happiness to Shinji could not be fulfilled in the end; and we, Asuka once again hurt this Shinji in an arrogant tone; everything went back to the weak choking and painful struggle in EOE. But I want to say: Even so, we have also seen the ruffian's determination to break through the ruined boat in this process! And in this world maintained by reality, the power to cause miracles is more than just a determination and the support of a team or even a group of fans. I believe this is also more than ten years later, every fellow or even a rascal will behave in reality. Out of my respect and humility, I do not deliberately repay my expectations whether I can really achieve breakthroughs and leaps. But as a supporter who has followed God for ten years, only this joy of witnessing the rebirth of EVA is real! Only this blessing for change is real! This is hope, and hope is by no means in vain. Because the meaning of "reincarnation" is never to plunge into an endless and unsolvable cycle, his purpose is to "leap", to break through the "trajectory" that is shrouded in impermanent reality and fate that confines life to the wheel of imprisonment. ". Personally, I am further guessing that the key to connecting the new and old EVA stories should be the girl who has been "chaosing", True Hippo. Her mission may be to reconnect the past with the reality of today, and he relies on it. The power of is nothing else, it is the name given to her by the ruffian-True Hippo. Truth. Elantrias, the condensing of the immutable human life and wisdom, relies on the persistence and belief in this truth. Shin Hippo never hesitated, and always raised his head confidently. I believe that the ruffian will not just create happiness in one parallel space, but let Shinji in another space continue to suffer. Otherwise, he would not be the one who does not play cards according to the routine. The ruffian is now, and what he wants to rely on is probably this true Hippo, this "truth" that will not change no matter which space it "floats" into. She guides Shinji, and even more guides us! The ruffian has been insisting, as the last lyrics in the FATE background music tells: My destiny has not stabilized yet, I still need to continue to believe! And under this truth, miracles will surely come again!
Because of this, Shinji's cry in "Broken" is by no means in vain; Lingbo's contribution is by no means dispensable; Asuka's relieved smile and sigh are not just a flash in the pan before the lunch; even the look ready to go. Serious freedom angels will never give up themselves again in exchange for the future of mankind. Because the blessing in the TV version teaches us: "Life means change." Yui in EOE tells us: "As long as we have hope, there is heaven everywhere." And Misato in "Broken" teaches us: "In this world It's full of many interesting things that you don't know." And, there is, Yuandu's remarks to his ineffective son: "Shinji, get mature soon!" The
above is exactly what I said to EOE. Looking back, it was the change of "Broken" that made it so impulsive and reckless. At the end, I can only offer my excitement and humorous blessing for the new EVA theatrical version again:
brave boy! Break through the imprisoned wheel of destiny and leap to the top of the miracle once
(in other words, the second form of the disease does have to be cured early, believe me, uncle has practiced...T_T!)
