On August 26, the president attended the "Parasitic Beast" movie screening held at the Paragon Chongqing Tiandi Store. On that scorching sun afternoon, I had only one feeling after watching the movie:
every man should have such a right hand of God!
Outside the picture:
1. The president is not a fan of the original manga;
2. He has not seen this film before;
3. This film screening will show the Chinese dubbed version of the two original films; the
protagonist is named Xinyi , a high school student who grew up in a single-parent family, his right hand was swallowed by a parasite, thus achieving symbiosis.
And what is the role of parasites?
He can change shape at will, become a sharp blade, shield, bow... He
can also learn skills and knowledge independently, a highly intelligent student who can learn Japanese in one day!
The focus is still a good helper in life, helping you cut vegetables, cook rice, and: jerking off (this clip has been harmonized by the editor).
Anyway, it is a powerful creature who understands your heart and has powerful functions.
And such a honey-juicy parasitic beast feels comfortable when thinking about its function in life:
he doesn't need to cook, he can change into a knife, a spoon, and an egg beater,
and he can do it himself; he doesn't need to do housework, he can use a broom and a mop , to complete it by himself;
even for example, in the masturbation scene in the film, he also has multiple attributes such as "hand", "mouth", "???";
you only need a simple and bright Ge You lying on the sofa, that kind of feeling It's like getting a conch girl.
However, the idea of the film is not as ordinary and superficial as the president.
The male protagonist, Shinichi, is a savior who takes Xiaoyou (the parasitic beast on his right hand) to a duel with the rest of the parasitic beasts that feed on humans.
In this process, the film uses the background of the protagonist's single-parent family to strengthen the mother-son relationship. Whether it was Shinichi's mother who spontaneously rescued him because of "muscle memory", or Tamiya Ryoko as a high-level parasitic beast who sacrificed her life to save her child, they all made a lot of tears from the audience.
The power of a mother's love is so great.
In addition, the director sublimated the theme, not only limited to the environmental protection intention of the title:
"If the number of human beings is reduced by half, will the pollution be reduced by half?" With
the philosophical question in Xiaoyou's mouth, he is right. With all the right and wrong, he asked himself:
"Why are you so angry about the death of your kind (referring to human beings)? My kind is just eating (referring to cannibalism)?"
"Why are you so angry about killing your kind (referring to human beings)?" Killing) this thing is so contradictory?” The
point is, all the cannibalistic parasites are called by a politician who is full of environmental protection hearts and thinks that humans are the parasites of this earth. Of course, his original intention for the parasitic beasts is also very simple and rude - killing and eating people.
It is an exaggeration to say that parasitic beasts are actually defined as higher-level species: they are
more intelligent, and after learning Japanese in one day, they can quickly own what they have learned;
and parasitic beasts cannot reproduce, so the total amount of the group can only be reduced or not increased. Solve the environmental problems caused by the rising number.
But sadly, they have no feelings, no tears or smiles, all thoughts are focused on hunting and self-defense.
Therefore, the director's intentions are also clearly revealed: emotions are very important!
Therefore, the wish of advanced parasitic beasts like Tamiya Ryoko is to fully integrate into society and live like an ordinary person.
At the end of the film, Xiao You also mentioned that more and more parasitic beasts have found a harmonious way of coexisting with humans.
The director used this way to read a sentence, which seems to be a bit too simple:
most of the characters shown by Xinyi are the kind side of human nature, and there are more components of partial brilliance;
but people are not just that simple. , represented by the "mayor" is a more complex human nature. He has a good original intention: "protect the environment", but uses extremely brutal means: "summons parasitic beasts to eat people".
This makes the president inexplicably think of those annoying public knowledge, in the name of the public, but not really for the benefit of the public, serious nonsense, but brazenly shouting, waving the banner of false freedom and independence .
Fortunately, the director integrated these thinking processes of his own into his lines, from the simple biological Darwinian code to the soul level:
human nature does distinguish between good and evil, but it does not mean that we can punish evil in a more evil way. people, that can only really become a "vicious" cycle.
Just like lines in a movie, when you perceive the misery of others, you are willing to tolerate and accept, and even sacrifice yourself.
