-------I would like to write this article to commemorate the touching ending of "Magic Girl Madoka"
. After Xiaoyan galloped into the sky with black wings like chaotic despair, he finally drew a stop sign, and crossed countless times. The repetition of time and space, witnessing the despair of life and death countless times, when everything turns into an end, and at the moment when hope pulls the carrier of despair and bursts out in an instant, everyone returns to the place where they should go, the essence of the world is not the same. It was not subverted, just a little, Madoka used love and hope to eliminate the pain from hope to despair, whether it has been cured, the answer is already in everyone's heart...
At first, I had expectations for this work and most people I was also sharpened by the strong lineup of Xu Yuanxuan + Xin Fang Zhaozhi + Oura Yuki + Cang Shuhai, which is very inappropriate. In the first two chapters, I was also fooled by Lao Xu's ingenious deception, and almost gave up on this god. I did, but I insisted on seeing the end of the third chapter and I was indeed shaken by Lao Xu's strength and was speechless. From the third episode to the end, every episode hides a deep foreshadowing and the confusion of time and space that confuses your mind, but each episode gives people a completely different wave and cloud, the seemingly vast sea is beating the stream. Guardrails are generally out of bounds. The excellence of a work itself can actually be seen from the music and picture quality of the producer's sincerity. The production of "Little Circle" has greatly advertised this sincerity. Even if you don't know it, you can follow the gorgeous style of painting. Continue to explore this seemingly refreshing and healing "Magic Girl" story. After the announcement that this work was suspended due to the earthquake, I was very OTL. After watching the tenth episode of Xiaoyan Time Witness's fate, it is impossible to calm down, but after watching the ending today, it is a different feeling. , maybe without a month's wait, maybe this movie won't be so amazing, and similar things make me think of "SD" where a certain scumbag is rampant. After reading a lot of comments, it is undeniable that "Madoka"'s The status of a masterpiece, and some people compare "EVA" with it. In my opinion, "Madoka" is indeed a masterpiece, but it has not reached the level that can be compared with "EVA". "EVA" combines Too many theological views and religiousism have affected not only the entire ACG community, but also the entire society of Japan. However, I am sure that "Madoka", which won the top spot on 2CH with an advantage over "Suzumiya" after the beginning of episode 11, is bound to become an undefeated wonderful flower in the history of ACG.
Many people understand this ending as a HAPPY ENDING, but as far as I understand it, this is an open ending between HAPPY ENDING and BAD ENGING, or even more inclined to BAD ENGING. When I watched the ending for the first time, I almost didn't understand it at all, and I thought to myself [Is this the end? ],[what the hell! Didn't they all get happy in the end? Where is God doing it? ], [Isn't it a good ending! ] Thinking like this, Xiao Yan with black wings on his back exploded and disappeared in an instant, and then the words "End" appeared on the screen. I always felt itchy in my heart, I felt that my thoughts could not be straightened out, and the small fragments and clues were not connected, so I went back and watched repeatedly, and finally got a little feeling.
It's a flashback ending.
Along with Madoka's wish [to destroy all witches before they are born, and to destroy all witches in the universe, past and future, with my own hands...], Madoka brought this wish that could not have been fulfilled. The magic power of her transformed into a magical girl and completed the mission of the last week. As QB described, all of Madoka will produce unprecedented power because Xiaoyan's constant reincarnation makes Madoka a causal center that connects everything, connecting different existences in the same world with Zhoumu with causal lines. Of course, Xiaoyan herself is also included. At the end of the second week, when Madoka asked Xiaoyan to save herself before being deceived by QB, Xiaoyan's existence was tightly bound to Madoka. Madoka has the power at this time to realize the existence of this one who becomes the god of the universe and adapts the rules of the universe.
[I found the wish I want to fulfill, so I will use this life for it...]
Madoka completely eliminated the existence of the witch, and took away the magical girl who was about to die in despair before it was formed in the lamentation, so that they would no longer be killed by their ugly souls and their companions who were betrayed by their twisted grief and roots. And Madoka herself took on the despair that should have weighed the weight of lamentation, and created the hope of a planet. The opposite of hope is despair. The formation of a planet's hope is bound to endure the despair of a planet. No matter how much you save, everyone will eventually usher in their own death. We can't go against fate. It is the final path, so that the magical girl will no longer end her life in such a painful way. From then on, the witch no longer exists, but the magical girl still exists. Madoka changed the rules of this world. Under the new rules, magic The girl's mission is no longer to destroy witches, but to destroy those monsters formed by the dark side of the world. The origin of every new life is accompanied by the buds of new sins, just as the growth of hope is the sprouting of despair. If there is no change, everyone will be happy, and it will not be possible for others to stand up. There is no worry, like amnesia-like returning to peace, the restless movement of this world is just a re-construction from one cycle to another, the old evil has disappeared, and the new evil is ghosting in a corner of nowhere. The hunger and thirst of QB is no longer the energy generated at the moment when the magical girl becomes a witch, hope turns into despair, and becomes the seed of the magical girl and the seed of the monster that disappears after the magic power of the magical girl is exhausted. Purify or simply devour its seeds. The magical girl will turn black when the magic power is exhausted and not purified. The blackening will turn into a witch, but there is no witch in the new world, so Madoka, who bears the root of all witches' despair and sin, will appear. , pick up the scarred magical girl. At this point, the magical girl's mission has been completed, and no new magical girl will appear, because the purpose of the QB has changed, and it no longer needs more magical girls to become witches. Power, just collect With enough magic power, QB can return to his own planet, and no longer harm new girls here. So the existence of magical girls will become less and less, when the last magical girl - Xiaoyan Heihua appears at the same time as Madoka, destroying her own witch, the world will be destroyed.
According to Madoka's wish and Mami-san's explanation, Madoka herself is an existence that will never disappear. She has become a way of existence that surpasses human beings. It is a higher-dimensional existence. Negative thoughts, forming an existence stronger than the earth, destroying the most powerful witch formed by their own negative thoughts. The source of the formation of the Witch's Night is the curse of countless witches, a powerful force gathered by the revolt against this cruel fate and the resonance of despair, but Madoka's power is higher than it, as a kind of power that runs through the world. The existence of God reorganizes and dominates the world with causal lines, hoping that everyone can be happy.
The last episode actually hides a deep drama for the audience. In fact, the story ends in the first half of the last episode. Madoka becomes a magical girl. Xiaoyan uses her power to travel through time to come to the future. She sees Madoka The ending --- in the endless universe, there is no space, no entity, just a kind of existence, a form that is not recognized by anyone, from now on, forever, a person is fighting.
[Worse than dying...]
The ending that Xiaoyan sees is cruel and realistic. No one can realize their own unfulfilled wishes without paying the price. While having a strong desire for wishes, hope is born, but despair will inevitably follow. The universe is equal, and it is precisely because the balance of the universe is to be maintained that it is impossible to realize the value of something in vain. While fulfilling a certain value, there must be a system of equal values that emerges from the completely opposite side to maintain it. order. Just as Xiao Shuang can pick up the violin again for the boy he loves, the price is love and life; Kyoko sacrificed her own happiness and eternity for the satisfaction of her father's vanity; Mami sacrificed her life simply to save the world; In order to protect Madoka, Xiaoyan fell into an endless time trap forever, witnessing the death and life of the most cherished person time and time again. Madoka erased the existence of the witch, and it is bound to use the same darkness to offset the fundamental sin, so she will not disappear, she will bear all the magical girls to become painful, until all the pain turns into bitter tears, together in the galaxy somewhere. So Xiaoyuan, who promised Xiaoyan that "it's okay, we will meet again one day", gave the ribbon to Xiaoyan and then Xiaoyan traveled back to the original time. Now the world is without Xiaoyuan, and everyone Forgetting the existence of Madoka, only Xiaoyan remembers that in the long-lasting battle, in countless histories, there is always such a person who fights for you, you are not alone.
Seeing Madoka's younger brother on the ground in the park while drawing Madoka's portrait and shouting loudly, "madoka, madoka...", a strong sadness flooded into my heart like a tide that traveled through time and space, and Xiaoyan felt lonely. And the strong back echoed in his mind, and for such a person, he had to fight to the end.
Xiaoshuang's ending is bound to be tragic, although because of the change of the world, it is no longer a rampage into a witch and Kyoko, but the death of magic power exhaustion. After all, the change of cause and effect is a matter of time. I wonder if Kyousuke will feel a trace of guilt at the last moment of feeling Xiao Shuang's deep love? In fact, at the last minute after the ED, all the magical girls had disappeared, QB absorbed enough magic power to return to his home planet, Xiaoyan became the last magical girl, and it was Madoka's long-awaited final announcement of despair At the moment of the end, but this despair does not make people feel sad at all, but a faint warmth comes from somewhere unknown. When the bright, colorful and indistinct black wings spread out across the desolate sky like ruins, the shallow ripples of the pear vortex emerging from Xiaoyan's mouth must have melted our heartstrings that have been tense for a long time!
[come on! ]
Just as Xiaoyan saw the ending many years ago, after many years of fighting alone, he will come to the end, and he will meet Madoka again. This time, the two of them should be happy, somewhere in the universe!
At this point, let's go back to the first half of the final episode, where Madoka defeated the witch she had conceived.
Lao Xu gave a very soul-stirring ending, and did not explain the final changes of the world in detail. Maybe the world is destroyed, but the destruction also means the reconstruction of hope. Lao Xu laid a deep foreshadowing in the first episode. Everyone has evil in their hearts, just like Madoka's resistance and evasion after knowing the fate of the magical girl; Xiao Shuang regretted resentment and jealousy of Renmei for taking away her beloved Kyousuke after she saved Hitomi; The grimness of death; Mami's selfishness in shooting Kyoko to death... But I don't think everyone's actions are unforgivable. To choose to give up on ourselves means to choose despair. We are constantly driven by the evil of our own original sin, and gradually release the evil that we most hope to embody in our hearts, and are eventually destroyed by ourselves.
But in the beginning, no one did wrong. QB is an alien existence. It does not understand human feelings. As an unknown creature of bystanders, it symbolizes unknown thoughts and sees human feelings in a certain field. , both love and hate, it is an extremely entangled existence, perhaps under a certain conception, this is just a very funny intangible, and the power nurtured by human emotions has become the coveted prey of this existence, perhaps it will Be a little sarcastic. I don't admit that QB was whitewashed at the last moment. This is the coldest feeling, the feeling without emotion. Maybe it has been flooded everywhere, quietly eating our powerful soul.
Why Madoka is so successful, I think in addition to the excellent production, the old script, and the profound connotation, it also conveys a kind of hope. Although the ending is not full of hope, but a darkness covered up by beauty, those who look at it with heart will definitely be moved. Is the reason behind the despair not enough because there is a steady stream of hope? It is because of love and hope that Madoka has the courage to make such a decision. For a long time, forever or ever, she would rather wait and do it with sincerity, in order to protect the person who deserves to be protected. Use your life for a wish worth fulfilling.
We all have to remember.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
The color of hope derived from despair may be the warmest color...
I hope each of us has the courage to fight despair.
There is always a person who deserves your protection and will give you the courage to move
in the vast universe
...
Silent night alone, touching the cold air alone, waiting for the moment of fate, the moment of reunion, the darkness Flowers bloom, like the day is painted into the night, you can't tell the time and space, you can only listen to the heartbeat of the world, just like the whole world, the whole universe, is in your arms...
