A misunderstanding

Edgardo 2022-01-18 08:01:13

For me, this is a compromise reality. I choose my future and "birth"; I still believe in the weather that violates objective laws, and believe in the folk beliefs on the patio paintings of the weather shrine six hundred years ago, "Life を棒に振る"ように, Pursuing the story of "feelings/つながり".

I constantly feel the common sense from real life, and the "surreal" feelings /つながり are opposed to each other. The rich details of life in the first half, especially the words and deeds of the two criminal policemen, not only represent the legal system, but also represent the constraints of real social norms and various value systems.

This "reality" confronts each other with the surreal rain, the witch's ability to "control the weather", and the superstitious gods and sacrifices. Under the reminder of the former/“reality”, the feelings between the male and female lords/つながり appear as illusory as folk beliefs. When the male protagonist makes choices one by one in pursuit of illusory feelings, the "reality" of the former is in the form of chase by criminal police, constantly chasing after them as reminders, reminding that these actions will face serious realistic consequences.

When the two confronted, the male protagonist told the criminal police that it was the female protagonist who saved the weather, thus sacrificing herself, and the hidden dream; and in front of the criminal police representing reality, he was just talking about dreams. According to the reality represented by the two criminal police officers, the series of crazy actions performed by the male protagonist is a young man who can't think clearly, destroying many opportunities in his long life.

The male protagonist’s desperate choice, in the words of the old criminal police, is "a waste of life". Therefore, desperately pursuing love seems very courageous.

"Escape" with courage, run all the way on the subway line, shoot tremblingly in the ruins → break through reality, enter the surreal world of folklore, and pursue the illusory つながり. There are mysterious creatures, dragons, unknowable divine hiding, human pillar power and other life rules.

Finally, bringing the girl back to reality from the illusory folklore world, the two fell in the clear sky. At that time, it was both sweet and desperate. This illusory and short-lived beauty and sweetness had to confront "reality" again after landing. It doesn't matter what the weather is like or what the world will be like in the future. But the men and women themselves, the people around them still have to live on. After bringing the heroine back, everyone's life was terrible.

Male protagonist: The unexplained state of illegal possession of a gun, eventually resisted arrest, escaped from prison, and even attacked the police. Waiting for him, must be entering the juvenile management office and criminal record, and then the harsh future life full of bumps. Female protagonist: After returning, you will be forced to separate from your younger brother and be sent to different child protection facilities to live lonely and restricted in child protection facilities. Oguri Shun: I also attacked the police because of feelings for a while, because this period of つながり couldn't pass the censorship, and lost the opportunity to pick up my daughter and her life.

Under various malignant conditions, can you continue to maintain pure love and be gentle and considerate to each other? "Three people" live with a smile? Vicious weather, rainwater from creatures like sea creatures and dragons, and ruined Tokyo don’t matter. These realities have only been raining for three years, and they are unbearable "God 様の悪い talk".

The plot returns from the fall to the reality three years later. It is a warm story. Xin Haicheng said, don't think too much about the illusory problem, the reality is nothing terrible. Even if Tokyo has been raining for three consecutive years, it is still a government-designated city, and even if the towns such as Ueno and other towns are flooded, it is still a place where local high school students want to live and work after graduation. Even if there is a short bad time, it is still controllable, and everyone is still alive. 「ホッとさせた」

To me, this is probably the opposition between the rules of reality and the rules of folk beliefs. In front of the rules of reality, feelings and つながり are undoubtedly as vain as folk beliefs. I misread this story as Xin Haicheng encourages people to make choices bravely, break through reality bravely, and don't be afraid to return to reality. The consequences are controllable, and everyone will continue to live.
