I have always liked Ito Junji's works very much. He always uses the most extreme methods to show humanity in these disgusting horrors.
After a long delay, today I finally finished watching Ito Junji's "The Whirlpool", and I couldn't tell what it was like.
Maybe the snail man inside is disgusting, or Xiuyi’s father died so that my scalp numbs, or the people entangled in it are terrible, even the Dragonfly Lake, typhoon, sharp-skinned people, and longhouses make me terrifying.•• • But it has become more and more ugly to see how ugly the human nature is and how precious the love of Kirie and Hideichi is with Kirie and his family's relatives.
Xiuyi thought that after his father and mother had been contaminated by the whirlpool, his spirits became very abnormal, and he often muttered to himself and was decadent. But no matter what kind of danger Tonge encountered, he would always appear next to Tonge in an emergency to save her and support her. With decadent dark circles under his eyes, his eyes are extremely firm. That is the persistence and perseverance to Tonge and his love, that is the sense of responsibility.
Tonge is a very brave girl, even a very sensible girl. When her brother Man Nan was in danger, even though she felt scared and dangerous, she still went to the lighthouse alone to rescue her brother. She is always worried about her brother Man Man, afraid that he will be hurt. At the end of the climax, many people lost their humanity. When they could no longer find food in the disaster-stricken Kuruma town, they started to eat the snail man, but Tonge and Shuichi remained unshakable, and Tonge also taught fully. Men cannot lose their humanity to eat snails.
When Man Nan became a snail person, Tong Hui was the first to protect him and let him escape. Although the ending did not explain what happened to Man Nan who escaped in the dark and chaotic Heiwu Town, but I also have a younger sister. I sincerely hope that Man Nan has escaped in such an unknown, hiding in the cliff and living with peace of mind, until Heiwu Town is petrified.
After Tonge's parents disappeared, Tonge still wanted to find her parents. He Xiuyi found out the petrified parents after all kinds of hardships. Tonge, who was holding back tears in her eyes, made me feel so sad.
The ending is undoubtedly a tragedy. No one can escape the curse of Heiwu Town. When Xiuyi could not escape, Xiuyi said: "I can't escape the whirlpool anymore, Tonge, you can find a way to escape." Tonge said : "I want to stay with you." When the voice fell, they entangled and hugged each other. This is the end of the story: even if it is the end, the end of being together, write a full stop with Shuichi and Tonge's true love.
I really shed tears, and feel as if I have walked into this story. Feeling these helplessness and sadness~
