When the theatrical version of Conan was released in Chinese theaters for the first time, it was full of children, but when Naruto finally landed in China, all I saw in front of my eyes were not young, but the laughter was still so low. A little joke in the film has to discuss the "naive" Naruto fans for a long time.
There is no need to make more greetings. After a certain episode of the movie is staged, we viewers will naturally make a few simple comments, as if we have known each other for many years. This is of course, no matter what kind of professional people are sitting in the movie hall, and what circles they usually mix in, as long as you know that the other party is a Naruto fan, you know that they are a generation.
A young "relaxed generation" that is always seen as lacking perseverance and lacking even survival instincts.
The "relaxed generation" is a Japanese concept. It does not refer to all young people, but it usually refers to people in their twenties who have graduated from college and are not too young, but do not know how to work harder. As long as they are urged to be self-motivated, they will immediately get bored and look down at their phone and ignore you. They don't like to communicate with their parents and elders, and they don't get along well with their bosses, but they chat happily with their friends on their mobile phones. They are willing to spend more on movies, games and even animation, but they are not willing to buy a few more reference books after get off work to learn work skills.
They sound familiar, because the "relaxed generation" exists all over the world, including in China.
A few days ago, someone wrote a short article about the living conditions of the post-90s, to the effect that most of the post-90s are the children of the post-60s. After the hard-working post-60s finally have their own children, they dote on them in every possible way, even in After the child is an adult and works, he will give the child some extra allowance every month. Unlike the post-80s and post-70s who are still working hard in the workplace, the post-90s have already had a house prepared by their parents without having to work hard, and they can finish college all the way without choosing. The car, computer, mobile phone and other equipment are all given by their parents. There is no survival pressure, there is no survival pressure, there will be no hard work, and if you do not work hard, your work performance will not be outstanding. Although I don't know if the author intends to criticize parents, telling them to stop "supporting" their children, or criticize the post-90s generation who are in the best environment, they don't know how to fight for their dreams.
The post-90s generation is a generation that suffers from selection phobia and objective weakening of abilities. Since school, some children have refused to actively raise their hands to run for monitor and class representative, because the competition and efforts are too "low", and the positive improvement is too "dirty". Everyone generally hates positive spirits, and even more positive people. The hem of the school uniform's shirt or T-shirt is always on the outside, looking sloppy, but never tucked into the pants at the head teacher's command. When filling out the volunteers, I hesitated in every possible way. In the end, my parents gave various choices to make up for it, and the school selection was barely settled. When it comes to work, I hate working overtime even more than my predecessors born in the 70s and 80s, and I don’t know how much more work can be beneficial. When I was a child, expressing myself in front of my teacher was stupid enough, and doing more in front of my boss was even worse. People who actively show themselves are generally hated by others, and even a little bit worse, these people become the targets of bullying.
It was 1999 when Masashi Kishimoto officially started serializing "Naruto" on Jump. I didn't know there was such a comic back then, and I didn't know there was a character called "Naruto". The young Japanese in the 1990s are the parents of the current "relaxed generation", and Naruto is also the most classic image of that generation.
There is no one who works the hardest, only those who work harder.
Naruto said: "I want to surpass all the previous generations and become the strongest Hokage. Then let everyone agree with me."
Perseverance, spirit.
Today's young people feel restless just hearing this kind of word, and it's terrible to say such a word. But who knows, when they are alone, sometimes they can't help but think about their short life and the longer life they will live in the future, and sometimes they will feel a chill and fear.
That is: the cause of the fathers who worked hard and worked hard, and when they looked up, more than 20 years have passed. And now, what kind of path and what kind of career do they have to choose in order to survive the next 20 years?
What if I choose the wrong one?
Young people can't help but have some fears to make choices, choosing phobias on one side, and being vulnerable in the face of pressure on the other.
Young people today are a different race: sharp and vulnerable, afraid to make decisions and unable to stand the monotony of life. Older people can hold on to a job for 20 to 30 years, but now young people don't want to say 20 or 30 years, they want to quit naked in a few months. A certain chef in Japan has only been responsible for stewing rice for 30 or 40 years, and has become a rice craftsman. It can almost be called a rice artist. But asking today's young people to do one thing for most of their lives is a hellish punishment. To put it more ruthlessly, it is difficult to decide which package to order for the next meal. How can it be simple to decide what to do for the rest of your life?
Parents say that you can do what you really want to do, and it's not bad to realize your dreams. But what is the dream? Some of the most practical post-70s and post-80s answer: It is because they have a house, a car, and a small family, which is worth fighting for. And the young post-90s don't have to work hard, many have already gotten most of them with the help of their parents.
The dream of the post-90s generation must be lofty. Some people want to be cartoonists, some people want to be writers, some people want to form rock bands... These gambling dreams are annoying, and everyone knows that the odds of this dream coming true are flukes. It's impossible to say and do it. As a result, the post-90s have become dreamers who can't fall on the ground and can only dream. Perhaps seeing the need for encouragement and role models for the post-90s generation, Masashi Kishimoto condensed a father-type juvenile Naruto, put him under much more pressure than the "relaxed generation", and surpassed these pressures to become his ideal person.
When we met Naruto, he was only twelve years old, and after so many years, he became the father of a twelve-year-old child. What he insisted on has not changed. He continued to practice and challenge himself, from "a person with weaknesses to the strongest Hokage". He is the best friend of all the young people who watch "Naruto". He may exist in the computers of many young Chinese people. Whenever he wants to give up, look at how he slaps the table and shouts: "Do what you say, this is what you will do. It's my ninja way!"
The appearance of Naruto made many children realize what perseverance and persistence mean in the mouths of their parents. Although the ninja village "Konoha Village" where Naruto is located does not exist in reality, "Konoha" A "village" can be a class collective, an office, or any place you can't wait to escape.
But at the moment when you want to escape, think about Naruto, think about the way of forbearance he said, and ask yourself what you can get by giving up now. It may be very comfortable to escape, and you don't need to look at people's faces to live, and you don't need to communicate with many people you hate.
But what do you get if you don't give up?
Opportunity to surpass others and identify yourself with others.
No matter what others choose, Naruto chose the latter.
Naruto in his youth is a model for everyone, and Naruto fans are more familiar with such a two-dimensional character than some real stars. The previous theatrical version of "Huoying Bo Renzhuan" has never been released in China, and probably no one will look for it except for Naruto fans. Every time Naruto in the theatrical version is the same age, or twelve or fifteen or sixteen years old, but this time in "Boren Biography", Naruto grew up, had his own child, and became a Hokage , we suddenly felt very strange.
Naruto is very busy, and even uses shadow avatars for his daughter's birthday during interviews. He sat in Hokage's chair, his whole body exuding a majesty he didn't have in his youth. His son Bo Ren felt that his father was the worst father.
The image of Naruto's father is too typical, so typical that we are more familiar with Naruto than when we saw him as a teenager, to a terrifying degree. He is the father of all the young people. He is busy with work and rarely comes home. Sometimes he comes home late for dinner, and casually asks the children about the situation at the dinner table, and then lectures a few words, which makes the children dissatisfied. Then silently let the children lock the door, refusing the only communication time between father and son.
In Japan, children are always the children of mothers. In addition to providing material security, the father is just the most annoying person who is indifferent to them and only scolds them occasionally. The dialogue between father and son is usually channeled by the mother and passed on to the ear of the father. Men in Asian culture never say the most important things, and they don't express love either. When Shikamaru specially asked Naruto to tell him that Boren passed the second stage of the Chunin Exam, Naruto said in surprise, "You came to me just for this?" Shikamaru answered him because it was an important matter. So Naruto didn't use the shadow clone for the first time. He went home and opened his son's door and told him "you did a good job". Boren asked in surprise, you came to me for this? Naruto said, "Of course, because this is a very important thing."
It is so difficult for a father who has matured and taken on an important role in the family to speak out about the important things.
What is Naruto's job as Hokage? It is to protect the entire Konoha Village. What is the "will of fire" that Konoha Village upholds? is to protect the next generation forever. The next generation is the hope of the village. The inability to say "you did a great job" to the hope in your heart is a huge gap between the two generations in Japanese society. It's like Bo Ren longs for his father from the bottom of his heart, but he never praises his father, nor does he want to be a father. It also seems that Naruto is proud of his son, but he can't even say it face to face, but when Boren came to rescue him, he praised him, "becoming handsome".
The bloggers are the "relaxed generation". Born with the inheritance of parents, people's expectations. The starting point is very high, even my friend March (PS: March is actually the child of Orochimaru, I really think it's too scary, is it a father or a mother?!) He will definitely become a Hokage in the future. But what do bloggers really want? He is terrified of making choices and doesn't like to be thankful. Today's children like to play the "invincible version" when playing games, and they simply cheat to the end, which saves a lot of trouble. College students who have just come out of school like to talk about entrepreneurship and want to go to the sky in one step. It is too troublesome to accumulate experience and talk about promotion. That is a matter of the previous generation. The same is true of bloggers, but the scary thing is that, just like in reality, everyone is urging bloggers to make decisions. Whether it's implying that his grandfather is the fourth Hokage, his father is the seventh Hokage, or inspiring him to take the Chunin exam, they're urging him to do one thing: young people have to dream a little bit.
However, bloggers still can't find their dreams. He didn't like his father's diligence and dedication, because it wasn't handsome at all, but he also hated his own laziness and lack of purpose. So after Uchiha Sasuke (please don't brush my favorability rating for Uchiha in the movie version again, the favorability rating is about to explode, but I'm obviously Sasuke black!), the blogger immediately realized that he wanted to be a handsome adult like Sasuke. . Because Sasuke looks effortless, but his strength is trusted by everyone.
However, Boren is still not like Sasuke after all.
In front of the strange enemy Boss, his father Naruto was captured by the enemy, and the blogger suddenly noticed that his father brought him the carefree life with little pressure to survive in the past, and he suddenly understood what he needed to do.
Although you can win by cheating, winning is not happy. Bo people finally know that only after winning with their own strength can people feel real joy. Boren put on the tattered ninja uniform that his father wore when he was a child, put on a ripped forehead, and used the weak spiral pill that was about to be extinguished and disappeared in the middle to break the enemy's attack.
That spiral pill is the weakest one I have ever seen in "Naruto", but this spiral pill entrusts the will of four generations. From the fourth generation to Jiraiya, Jiraiya to Naruto, and from Naruto to Konoha Maru to Boren. That's how the "will of fire" was passed, passed without a sound, and passed on unknowingly.
Bo Ren has not become stronger, but he has embarked on a path that will make him stronger. He doesn't have to choose his father's old path, he can still regard Sasuke as an idol and move towards his dream in his own way. There may be little hope that his dream will come true, but at least he is no longer afraid.
Naruto and Sasuke are not wrong, no matter what era, ninjas and young people will not change, they will grow up one day, realize that if they work hard, they will be covered in ashes and not at all dirty or inferior. On the contrary, then very handsome.
Naruto fans will always remember Naruto's words.
"Do what you say, this is my ninja!"
