Every life is worth respecting and cherishing

The director used the metaphor of parasitic beasts as a metaphor for the creatures dominated by humans, and finally pointed out the main idea: any life is worthy of respect and treasure. The 24-episode anime is divided into three parts. The upper part describes how parasitic beasts slaughter humans to obtain their own survival. The middle part describes how humans encircle and suppress parasitic beasts in various ways. (Specific details will be added on another day) When I was a child watching movies, I often asked: Is this person a good person or a bad person. When I grew up, I found that many things are between black and white, good and bad, and "Parasite" is such a gray animation. The relationship between human beings and other creatures on the earth discussed by the director is profound, and he has tried to say a lot, but it is difficult to explain such an ultimate question through animation - what is a human being and why he lives. Therefore, many details in the film cannot stand scrutiny if you think about it carefully. But such an attempt is still good. A sign of social progress, one of which is the public's thinking ability and thinking depth. This is especially extreme in Japan. As early as the beginning of the last century, the Japanese discussed Japanese nationality in a number of works, while at the same time, China discussed nationality very little. Today, other industries do not understand it, and it is even more obvious for Japanese literature and comics. On the other hand, in China, although the animation industry is gradually developing and expanding, most of the themes are simple and there is no in-depth thinking. Most Chinese animation, film and television people blindly cater to the public aesthetics in the impetuous society. It seems that big breasts, romantic encounters, cute girls, and male protagonists' harem are the only guarantees for clicks. Many works, including movies and TV, do not seem to bring people more follow-up thinking after watching them except for being addicting and exciting. At least in this work, I can see the social responsibility and responsibility of cartoonists, which is also the value and role of cultural products - guiding the public to think and promote correct values. I am sure of the artistic value of the work, but I think it is very necessary for the SARFT to ban "Parasitic Beast" and "Tokyo Ghoul". There are three reasons: firstly, most of the cartoons are aimed at minors, and most of the world outlook and outlook on life are not fully developed. Premature involvement of blood and violence is not good for the body and mind, and it is easy to leave psychological shadows; secondly, most minors cannot be strictly and rationally distinguished. In the real and virtual worlds, the author believed that he should go to Hogwarts in a certain summer when he was in middle school, which would cause psychological distortions at light, imitation at worst, endanger the society and cause unnecessary trouble to the family; three It is because the thinking level of the Chinese people has not reached the level of western developed countries, and the ability to distinguish right from wrong is weak, which is easy for speculators to take advantage of. The author is more than 20 years old this year, and I have also seen bloody movies such as "Spartacus", but I still feel a little uncomfortable in the middle of watching the film. The view nearly collapsed. People should be exposed to all aspects of society, including good and bad, but the author believes that it should also be divided into ages and stages. Minors should be exposed to the positive energy of positive sunshine, construct a correct outlook on the world and life, and wait until the world outlook and life The structure of the view is complete and stable, and then according to the personal situation and preferences, the so-called negative energy and the dark side of the society can be moderately absorbed, so as to find useful value in the negative energy and the dark side, and cite and reflect on it for my use. On the contrary, if a person is too exposed to negative energy and the dark side too early, it is easy to fall into decadent and negative emotions and cannot extricate themselves. After all, life still needs positive energy to support yourself toward your dreams, and you cannot give up your pursuits because of complaints and hatred of the society.
