I watched Mamoru Oshii's "Angel's Egg" firmly. The narrative is too grand and the picture is too majestic. When I look at me, I feel like a boat on the verge of sinking on the stormy sea. During the course of the hour, there was a possibility of a nervous breakdown at any time, and until I lay peacefully in bed late at night, I still could not escape from the great narrative of fate.
Yoshitaka Amano has constructed an indescribable world, which is completely a miracle in cooperation with Oshii Mamoru's thoughts. It is difficult for me to imagine that human beings can create such a scene, and I don't think God will believe it.
"Ghost in the Shell" made me like Mamoru Oshii, who likes to talk about philosophy and thinking in cartoons. The pictures are always so extreme, gorgeous or dark, the music is always so religious, and the vocal chorus is almost To drown the nerves.
"Angel's Egg" is like a sudden explosion. I would rather believe that these illusions are buried deep in Oshii's heart and have been tormenting him. Only by releasing them can he be liberated.
The story is about an ancient proposition of Noah's Ark, but the technique and conception are astonishing, an unidentified little girl and her eggs, an unidentified wanderer, a giant bird and the remains of an olive branch, an eye-like universe Spaceships, tower-like branches, fish wandering in the late-night city, Nazi-like mobs, poetic scenes, poetic imaginations.
Many scenes in the film seem familiar, maybe it's my illusion. The silhouette of the boulder under the black cloud reminds me of Bergman's The Seventh Seal.
The most mysterious is the last shot. In the 5-minute length, the silhouette of a beach slowly shrinks into a mottled ark; this scene resembles the last scene of Tarkovsky's "Flying to Space". The male protagonist returns to his hometown, kneeling beside his old father, the camera gradually shrinks, the entire homeland becomes an island in the huge ocean of the Solaris planet, and the warm slime of wisdom surrounds a dream.
The most mysterious part of the world is originally closely connected with the human heart, but too much noise makes us forget, and such movies remind us of the original source of life.
