——Among the tens of thousands of companions and enemies, only you make me forget my dreams. I am afraid that everyone has an impression of this line. A thousand readers have a thousand Hamlet, but in the shock I felt at this line, I found that this sentence is really the key to unlocking everything. (I have only watched the movie. If the feeling conflicts with the plot of the comic, it is not in the scope of discussion.) First of all, we can look at what the dream is for Griffith? Griffith saw it in his childhood, a white castle that was glowing that no one else could see. He wants to build a kingdom of his own above everyone. He wants to control all power. On the other hand, the dream itself is also eroding his fate, like the overlord's egg that will eventually return to his hands. In order to realize his dream, he will do whatever it takes. From the beginning, we knew how much he was embraced by his subordinates. As for how he gathered everyone around, there is no way to know except for Kasgar's memories. Most of it was due to his strong ambition and personal charm. In the "Battle of the Backwater", the enemy general did not allow the soldiers to hurt him at all. It was thought that the old man's male pet looked very similar to him. Soon we speculated that he had sacrificed himself for the exchange of benefits. What's more, it has been quite a while since Griffith exchanged for benefits, and the opponent has always maintained admiration for him. This undoubtedly becomes an advantage on the battlefield, and he has no feelings about the opponent, only because the opponent has lost use. value. When Griffith saw the princess for the first time, the princess was not a "person" to him, but a "available object". He was born as a commoner, and he should be on the throne in a logical way. Isn't the princess the best? Of chess pieces. When he approached the princess and protected the princess, he was driven by goals, not emotions. He knows how to be a princess to be able to fall in love with him, and attracting others is very simple for him-partly because of his own excellence, partly because of the ruthlessness of others in his heart. Whether Griffith uses other people's feelings or sacrifices his own dignity, it is all out of the pursuit of dreams (hegemony). It can be said that his long-term behavior indicators are only for dreams. If you understand this, and then return to the eclipse scene, before he said "give it all out"...-Among the tens of thousands of companions and enemies, you alone made me forget my dream. While saying this, Griffith's mind showed blue sky and grass, and Gus rode on him and beat him in the face. At the ball, across the crowd, the two smiled at each other, Griffith's eyes fluctuating. What do you think can make you forget your dreams? Or, I mean, what can make you forget that in your mind What is reminded all the time, is only the thing whose existence drives you to sacrifice and pay? I think there are two assumptions. One is that your dream is realized directly in another form, so you don't need to calculate it anymore. The other is the emergence of important things that have nothing to do with your long-term pursuit but surpass all of them. For Griffith, do these two assumptions have anything to do with Gus? Simply compare the gap between Gus and Griffith. The biggest gap between Gus and Griffith is actually "humanity." Just because Gus has no indispensable goal, he has no intention to use others, but it is hard to say what kind of influence this trait has on Griffith. The only thing that is clear is that perhaps Gus is stronger than Griffith in physical strength. Although Gus was defeated at the first encounter, Gus defeated Griffith quite easily in the ice and snow shortly afterwards. In addition, in terms of will and so on, I think two people are similar. According to the first hypothesis, "the dream is directly realized in another form." Is it because Griffith has the "external power" that Gus lacks, and feels the general sense of completion of the realization of his dream? This emotion, when Griffith was riding and beaten by Gus, probably existed for a moment. But this feeling is neither long-lasting nor absolute, because Griffith is too confident in his own power, and can even be said to be arrogant, as long as he can suppress Gus (you are mine) as a whole, this kind of feeling It will not last in his heart. As for the second hypothesis, "there is something important that has nothing to do with your long-term pursuit but surpasses all that." Although I dare not assert, I have no choice but to use "love" to explain it. I don't want to discuss whether this is friendship or basic affection or something...that is a more selfless feeling. Griffith is a selfish person, or he doesn't need selfless feelings in order to realize his dreams. But when he faced Gus, some selfless feelings existed. It suddenly became clear to see Griffith with the clue of love. For example, Griffith gave up to save Gus when he was hitting the bull's head. When asked later, he said: I don't need a reason to save him. When the two were on the platform at the corner of the stairs, Gus was taken aback by the eyes of the Overlord's Egg, and Griffith leaned forward with a smile at his reaction. At the ball, the princess saw Griffith beckoning to him excitedly, but was not seen by Griffith. Griffith later looked for Gus in the crowd and smiled softly at him. When Gus left off guard, Griffith was shocked. When he attacked the princess that night, his eyes were stagnant, but he kept thinking of Gus's face when he climaxed. After the princess slept on the side, he was curled up beside the bed. Shed tears. Then the king grabbed Griffith and cruelly tortured him. When Gus finally found him, his first reaction was to pinch Gus (you made me like this!), but when he saw Gus crying, his eyes moved, he let go and put it on Gus. Hands. Griffith was lying in the wagon, seeing the close interaction between Gus and Casca, accepting this was truly desperate for him. He is not a woman, so he is destined not to get Gus's love, but Casca, who once only followed himself, got Gus's love, he is jealous of Casca. However, his body could not do anything. He tried to commit suicide... Later when Gus went to the lake to pull him, he said not to come over. This is his sincere protective desire out of love, but destiny. The gears are still turning. When Griffith said the sacrifice, even if he had no feelings for other people, he must have been soft-hearted towards Gus. But because his reason told him that Gus would never respond to his love, all he had left was dreams, and the only thing he could do was to continue chasing his dreams at all costs. After becoming a demon, Griffith violently xed Kasgar, and in front of Gus, he was venting his jealousy and depression. When the Skeleton Knight rescued Gus and Casca, Griffith knew he was capable of killing them, but he didn't use this power, because in his heart that he didn't want to admit, love still remained. Gus's neck (you made me like this!), but when he saw Gus crying, his eyes moved, he let go and put it on Gus's hand.
