At the beginning, it was really hard to imagine that this was a work serialized on "Weekly Shonen Jump". Probably, the traditional royal comics settings such as Dead Sea can no longer meet the times. We all need something more exciting.
Of course, compared to the background setting and the brain-burning plot trend of this story, the part where the protagonist group decided to explore outside the wall and was cut off by "mother" really made me have a kind of panic to doubt whether I had a heart attack. Frightened.
she says--
After reading this passage, my first reaction was: It really makes sense!
You can certainly see realistic metaphors in this animation, like we ourselves are children in this orphanage.
Therefore, the subconscious reaction to seeing this sentence will of course feel that this "mother" is talking nonsense. She is a downright bad person. She deprives a person of freedom, dignity, rights, and life with such a high-sounding reason, so plausible and so useless. Fearful, so guiltless, my God, is there a worse villain than her?
We've all had times when we thought this "beautiful" little world was the truth.
Even we still believe so.
But there are always people who want to stand up and ask:
Then what?
Then what?
Then what?
Suppose they escaped, and it was the perfect ending, with all 38 children.
What is the outside society like? Ghosts rule the world, and people are slaves and prisoners? Or there is a group of people living in some corners, struggling, keeping a low profile, waiting to start a war, or in fact, only certain people are chosen as meat eaters, and others can live a normal life by betraying their peers in the ghost society.
What happened to these children?
It may be to find the same kind, seek shelter, or even seek refuge in ghosts, to seek survival, or to launch a revolution to regain their homeland.
Maybe die on the way, maybe live to the end.
I didn't go to make up the original manga, I don't know what happened after that.
But when the dust settles, in the end, what are they after? Like the end of all fairy tales, when the princess and the prince are together, what do they pursue?
The answer is the nuanced life.
A tile to cover the rain, a warm bed, a group of loving family...
At the end of the day, isn't it still the many delicious meals and lots of love that "Mom" said?
In the end, what's the difference between being killed by a disease, an accident, and a deathbed, and being killed by a ghost?
You might say, the difference is big!
Under the former, I am free! I have fought! I have lived!
Are we really free?
Is it because we all feel that "ghosts" are concrete beings that can be defeated, so we cannot surrender to them and must rise up to resist? And terminal illness, accident, natural death, they are invincible, they have no way of understanding, so being defeated by them is not considered a failure, not a loss of human dignity?
Could this actually be another delusion? Because we're stuck in an "orphanage" and haven't had a proper night to discover the truth, so we're taking what's happening here for granted?
Or, just like in "The Matrix", Morpheus has already taken us to the real world, and then took a red pill and a blue pill and asked us, "Eat the blue one and forget it. Everything stays in the orphanage, eat the red, there is no turning back." And we chose blue.
A lot of times, it’s the same thing that gets you in trouble or pulls you out of it—you have a premonition of fear, but you can’t stop your thirst for the truth; you pursue the truth, but you’re afraid to accept it.
After all, whether you choose red or blue, it's "finished".
If it's doomed that I can't get over the exit fence, I just hope, Mom, lie to me again and let me die contented.
But, promise me, be smarter, this time, don't let me find out the truth, okay.
Done.
Some people may think that I am talking nonsense. In such a simple animation, how can you see that there are so many things?
I don't want to say that old vulgar reader and Hamlet saying, but in all good works, we should all see ourselves, so if you can see a little bit of yourself in this passionate bullshit of mine, That would be the best.
