Finding the meaning of life in reincarnation and destiny

War

is a war with no beginning and no end. War has no goals, no ultimate winners and losers. The war itself is the meaning, and the killing becomes a flamboyant and nostalgic show. Therefore, the teacher itself is a myth of invincibility, and the Eternal Son becomes the vehicle to continue this eternal war. Kusanagi, Yuichi Kannan, and all the other pilots are insignificant characters in this game, and they die again and again. Death is the ultimate meaning of their existence, and the meaning of this war is the blood that can be touched for the sake of truth.
Sometimes, there are no gorgeous and nostalgic weapons of war in war. Through various means such as wealth, documents, products or various investment funds, "wars" are being carried out everywhere in every corner of this society. This is a war of capital, and a few people play the game. When this society has long been able to stop worrying about food and clothing, the sense of achievement and pride in the pursuit of victory seems to be no different from the bloody pursuit of killing. They are all small people, living in the game of big people, working for the sake of life, and the meaning of work is to show an invisible killing for the players.

The

eternal son of reincarnation , living in this war, is like the actors on the stage repeating the performance according to the script. They themselves are constantly reincarnated in this world, and everyone can only vaguely feel the past life, but this life is like a dream. The elders of life feel despair from the reincarnation around them, and the despairers hope to break this unchanging fate. The onlookers were silently watching this slightly different drama.
This is the reincarnation of the game between the worlds and the reincarnation of everyone's life. Some people experience deja vu scripts over and over again, and some people feel their past and future in a trance through their comrades-in-arms. Reincarnation is the fate of despair for both the former and the latter.

fate

The theme of predestination has persisted from ancient Greece to the present, as it spans the time of human life to demonstrate the impotence of a result and the passion, struggle and despair of the process. When visitors took a group photo in the base and asked meaningless questions curiously, they were disgusted by the fact that they felt that their own despair and cruel fate were just performances for those who were financially successful.
Yu Tianchuan was secretive about this fate, Tsuchizano was cynical and paralyzed, and he struggled to despair and Kusanagi Suizumi. Mitsuya and Hannan's feelings about this fate were from looming to having to face it. The change of Kusanagi's struggle has changed from nurturing life to killing life by herself, and even suicide. Maybe the expression of human's ultimate struggle must be life. In this fate, Mitsuya looks desperate and overwhelmed, and escapes her past and future through the childhood of the children in the city. Only Hannan is still full of enthusiasm for life after discovering this fate.
I think of Hayao Miyazaki and Oshii Te, who both shot the two works about pilots, Porcupine Pig and Sky Killer, respectively, when they were middle-aged. Facing his past, Miyazaki shows the hesitation of a middle-aged man through Red Pig, and finally gives a fairy tale ending. Facing the fate of life, Oshii finally said: Even if you have walked countless times, you can go to places you have never set foot on before. Is that not enough? Because that's all, isn't it enough? It is precisely because it has traveled countless times that the scenery is ever-changing. Isn't that enough?

Life

Oshii finally gave the answer to life, so he portrayed the pilot. The sky and clouds are the same and different every time, just like life.
In life, there are maintenance aunts who are like mothers, delicious meat patties, long-eared dogs waiting at the airport, families, Mitsuya who has strong feelings for Hannan, a coffee shop that makes Tsuchizano nostalgic, and There is an old man sitting in front of a coffee shop, a passionate boss, a prostitute who loves a pilot, a TV, a bowling alley, a group of friends and comrades who are different in the face of fate, and an invincible teacher... ..., and a deeply entangled Kusanagi, and a Kannan who loves her.
