The original manga of Parasitic Beast is not long, it is basically the length of two movies, so there is no need to cut down the original book as much as other adapted movies. From the previous article, there are only the following minor deletions:
1. After Quan was parasitized, his appetite increased greatly.
2. Right in front of the hero's girlfriend, he turned into a huge male sex organ without authorization, which made the hero very embarrassed. This is the scene I was looking forward to, and it was expected to be deleted.
3. The plot of the parasitic dog, which is really optional, because the focus of the film is on the relationship between humans and parasitic beasts.
4. There is no human Kana who can perceive parasitic beasts.
5. Uda Mori, whose mouth and neck were parasitized, did not appear.
6. The foreshadowing of Shimada Hidekun has been deleted, such as the free transformation of the forehead sunken after being hit by a baseball and the plot of the Yuko brothers and sisters investigating it.
Modifying the original work is a thankless task, and it is easy to arouse the disgust of the original work party, but because of the length of the movie, complicated changes are necessary. In addition, some modifications are because video can have better performance methods than text and pictures. From the previous article, there are mainly the following revisions:
1. The appearance of the
parasitic beast Comics: The parasitic beast falls from the sky.
Movie: Parasitic beasts float with the sea.
Both the movie and the comic open with a narration: "The people of the earth suddenly thought: If the population is reduced by half, how many forests can be avoided from being burned? If the population is reduced to 1%, the pollution toxins discharged are only %. One? Someone suddenly thought of the future where living things must be protected."
The question between the population and the natural environment is raised, and it also shows that parasitic beasts are made by humans, so it is more reasonable to float from the sea. After all, humans treat parasitic beasts It is much easier to spread the source into the sea than it is to get into the sky, and the parasitic beast is far less lightweight than the dandelion, so it is somewhat mysterious and unreasonable to fall from the sky.
2. Izumi's family environment
cartoon: a normal family with both parents still alive.
Movie: A single-parent family with only mothers.
In the first article, in order to highlight the main line of the relationship between mother and child, Izumi's family was set as a single-parent family, so the plot of the parents' trip later was also deleted, and the mother was parasitized by Mr. A. I think this is a good job to simplify and reduce unimportant branches.
3. The first
comic of the right power in the classroom : The right hand unconsciously clamps the chalk thrown by the teacher and clamps it into powder.
Movie: The right hand stretches to pick up the untouchable eraser, adding to the uncontrolled pickpocketing of the heroine.
Obviously, the extension of the right hand is more visually striking and concise, and the pig pickpocket adds to the jokes.
4. Mr. A sets the
cartoon: Mr. A is not a policeman, and he ran to the school to find Quan to kill people for no reason, and was eventually killed by Quan.
Movie: Mr. A is a policeman and knows that Izumi may have killed other parasitic beasts through his position, so he fights with Izumi and is finally killed by Izumi.
Obviously, the setting of the movie is more reasonable, Mr. A's reason for wanting to kill Quan is more sufficient, and the plot is coherent.
5. Killing the parasitic mother
comic: Uda Mori killed the parasitic mother at a critical moment and saved Izumi.
Movie: At a critical moment, the parasitic mother's hand suddenly returned to light to save Quan, giving Quan a chance to kill the parasitic mother.
In the movie, in order to highlight the mother's love, the screenwriter asked the mother to return to the light to save the spring. Personally, I don't think it is smart to modify this point.
6 Shimada Hideo was found to set up
cartoons: Yuko saw that Shimada's forehead could be freely deformed and suspected that he was found, Shimada was found to be deformed and killed, and was thrown to death by Izumi with stones.
Movie: A female classmate suddenly pulled out Shimada's hair and found Shimada. Shimada was found to be deformed and killed, and was shot to death by Izumi with an iron bar.
Due to the length of the movie, there was no time to lay the groundwork for this one, so such a direct and clear discovery of the movie is justified.
From the previous article, the changes are generally reasonable. The original idea can be seen in the movie. The work of parasitic beast is to satirize human beings. Human beings are the parasitic beasts of this earth. Human beings are very selfish and only care about their own lives. , I think human life is very precious, but what about the chickens, pigs, cattle and sheep that are preyed on by humans? As you said, the closest thing to a demon is a human being.
