There is no city that belongs to me, only the city that belongs to me

The 2006 animated film "Evil Child" ("鉄コン筋cle" is indeed a very serious work compared to the same year's "Girl Who Leapt Through Time". Whether it is because it is the original work of Matsumoto Daiyo or it is It was produced by Studio 4℃ or because of the supervision of Michael Elias. However, it has attracted much attention in the Japanese literary circle, as an animated film that is less commercial than TV animation (despite its The purpose is indeed to supervise the "big money" in the mouth), but because he chose Ninomiya Kazun and Aoi as the protagonists of the black and white voice
actors, it has been paid attention to by the mass media. Whether it is a popular actor or not, it is the voice actors. It became "red". The reason I searched for it and bought it without hesitation was just because of the Studio 4°C name. Only because of them, this production group that seems to understand the truth of the world, used 94 minutes of animation. Let’s tell the story of a city and then tell the story of a human civilization.
Simply put, the plot of the evil boy is roughly as follows:
a city named Takara is isolated from other cities by two rivers, so it becomes "all surrounded by tall buildings." "Undeveloped virgin land", and the two orphans living in it-Black and White-as unhealthy teenagers and protectors of the city’s status quo and peace, and who want to build this city into "money from children’s pockets" The "big villain" of Children's Paradise City-the snake-started a struggle.
It sounds like the story structure of a standard boy manga, but in fact this is a manga serialized by Matsumoto Daiyo in "BIG COMIC SPRITS". Yes, its targeted audience is actually adults-the people who come out of the children's world and face the social game rules and obey the rules. The struggle between black and white and the snake is not a simple struggle between justice and evil, and even now I cannot tell who is the real "retrograde". The image of the snake in the play is a person with a distorted face even in that style of painting. This is naturally because we stand from the standpoint of the protagonist in black and white-people who destroy the status quo, people who destroy the city, no The trust of love and sincerity has been eroded by the process of industrialization. Everything is solved by mechanical thinking rules and violent means. It hurts others for profit and abandons the past for development. As for black, although this is a city full of violence and stolen incidents every day, even though it is said to be "so disgusting and want to wipe it off" by the white, and despite the dirty and rundown of the streets, it is indeed full of vitality, and it is the land that nurtures them. The mother who raised the orphans—the streets they were familiar with, the big clock they were familiar with, the speeding tram they were familiar with... It was only because they were familiar with what they loved, so she was not reconciled until she was alienated little by little. Beyond recognition...
Uncle police can say to the bustling city streets, "Recently deserted. It’s true that just like Sawada’s answer, from the moment human beings walked into the so-called civilization, from the moment when human beings entered the so-called civilization, from the moment Hammorabi (Nebujah) Nissah II? To be tested) The city has been indifferent since Babylon was built. "This city is hell" spit out from the black mouth, and the "birth means the beginning of death" said by Mouse Suzuki (this existential view is not commented), in fact, they are all lamenting that human beings cannot grasp their own destiny. : One after another "hooligans" were hacked out, but the dust aroused by the demolition never disappeared. The "construction" did not stop because of the death of anyone-the old houses collapsed in groups, and the towering buildings rose up. ——And as someone said, even if the "snake" was shot through the head and fell down, there will be thousands of other snakes licking the city with their tongues greedily. No matter how hard certain humans struggle, they will be drawn to an unknown future by God, and there is no guarantee that such a future is what we want to achieve, begging for exploration and moving forward. What's more sad is that it may be a completely opposite result from what we expected. The rational light of "wisdom and civilization" on the outside is a pure and transparent darkness with invisible light on the inside. Such fruits can really be. Accept it?
Walking out of such a big theme as civilization, you can see the delicate warmth everywhere.
Black said more than once, "I want to protect my city" and "I want to protect white", but as the grandfather of the bathhouse said, "This city is developing in a direction we don't want at a speed that we can't control" and said, "You "You can't protect that child" actually means "you can't protect this city". It is a bad habit to say "my city" because the city will not belong to anyone. But Hei is so stubbornly doing things that others don't agree with according to his own beliefs. Is it really just this dirty and indifferent city that he wants to protect? In fact, he wants to protect himself and Bai. He doesn’t want to change his lifestyle because of the more intervention of machines and buildings. He doesn’t want to compromise with anyone. Yes, they don’t flatter themselves to anyone. They just wander around. The wild cats everywhere on the street do not beg for luxury and pity, nor do they agree with anyone's instigation and forced change. Although he knew that this place "is no longer the former treasure town and will never become the former treasure town", it does not belong to him, but he only belongs here.
When Bai was taken away by the police uncle, He knew that this was the best way to protect Bai. He stood on a high telephone pole, stood with the black crow, and screamed with the crow with his eyes, but calmly said a deceptive lie: "White is in the way, take him away", with almost nothing Yan's eyes watched Bai struggling in the arms of the police, watching his crying face on the car glass, listening to Bai yelling at his name in the background sound of the crow's neigh...
But Obviously they just can't leave each other. Black and white are originally the balance of the world, the balance of the mind, and the balance of human nature. Leaving the black and white, I can only rely on the paintbrush to show the dream in my heart, and can only rely on mumbling to tell myself that I am okay. While leaving the white black, he is looking for white traces on the edge of mental breakdown, holding the white-like rag doll like a mentally ill person on the street triumphantly telling everyone, "White is back, my partner Bai is back." , Almost swallowed by darker powers because of the darkness, and almost fell into the trap of "Itachi"-the dark self... and Bai kept repeating "I hold all the screws missing in the black heart" In the scene where Bai foresaw the confrontation between black and darkness, he struggled painfully and said "no", using his mind to bring a flying white bird to black, letting black understand that he "believes in white" !
They say that white is the representative of purity, kindness, truth and beauty, because he is called "white", while the relative black is the representative of complex, chaotic, decadent and violence, because he is called "black." But if this were the case, Black would not find the "key of the soul" in the deep sea, and would fall into hell and be swallowed by pure darkness. In my opinion, black and white are both representatives of human beings: the power of darkness always lives in my heart and uses it to protect human beings...
a house by the sea, a carpet of shells and sea stars, this is what belongs to The black and white city is the city of the human mind.
