Children are not in the early stages of adulthood, but have a different lifestyle from adulthood

Even considering that the story of Matsumoto Taiyo has always been loose, the world view of "Evil Child" is still relatively vague: At the end of the story, Black and White found the sea, but where? How to get there Did not say clearly. The apple seeds germinated, because Xiaobai forgot him? Did not say clearly. This open and ambiguous ending is a bit like in "The Ninth Gate", Depp walked into the light and said nothing.
But the world view of "Evil Child" is still very interesting. The mouse said that Hei had never liked adults before. Don't become an adult even if you are black. He and Bai insisted on living as two children. But when Snake wanted to develop Takara Town into an amusement park that deliberately attracts children, he met with a vow to death.
Does this mean that Hei does not like to be treated as a child? Rather than say that, it is better to say that the definition of a child by these two children is different from that of others. In the eyes of others, children are just a state of chaos between adulthood, and adulthood represents a higher evolution, so adults have the right to maintain a superior attitude towards children: they have the right to place you, have the right to manage you, and have the right to kill you. Even entertainment and play must be in their limited amusement park. Play with their rules, and naturally also live with their rules.
For these two children, there is no difference between children and adults, they are just opposites, completely giving up the other way of life. That is not the relationship between apple seeds and apples, but the relationship between apples and peaches (there are shots in the film suggesting this).
What's more, these two children are not just children, but evil children, so they naturally have to fight against evil adults:) The relationship between Hei and Itachi is actually an older bridge. There is also a guardian and Bai in the god of death. Ichigo...Bai’s daily report to the gods of "protecting world peace" is actually protecting the peace of the black. Black and white seem to represent the two points most praised by Matsumoto in children: stubbornness and innocence. Only the power of stubbornness can protect innocence from harm, and the power of innocence can ensure that stubbornness does not run away. This is probably Matsumoto's ideal way of survival. Of course, under this kind of survival, how to find Tranquility Sea, he may also be a little confused.
After reading most of the compliments for this film, they focused on the compliment stylization. But in fact, I think it’s nice to be so confused. Not all stories must give a sonorous answer. Most of the time, we can only ask this question and give our own assumptions. As for these hypotheses, categorizing and summarizing the survival of the fittest, it is a matter for adults and has nothing to do with the blue ocean of children.
