I think there are two main lines, one is the adjudicator system, and the other is understanding.
Who is right and who is wrong in the short story, must we as the audience judge correctly?
Not necessarily, because "humans cannot judge human beings".
The arbiter system seems to me like an absolutely rational system, and whether the arbiter needs to understand human beings is like whether the lawmaking should take into account human morality and public opinion. Reincarnation is like acquittal, and turning into nothingness is like life imprisonment. We as human beings certainly hope that pregnant wives and mothers with five children can be reincarnated, but in the eyes of the adjudicator (system), it is clear that cheating and violence cannot be acquitted.
In order to maintain the absolute rationality and fairness of the adjudicator (system), the adjudicator must be a puppet, and whether it needs a little human touch is also discussed in the film.
I actually want to talk more about an overlooked thread, understanding. In Chapter 10, the heroine who recovered her memory said the biggest contradiction in the film:
"People can't understand each other, it's wrong to think about understanding each other"
Old Man Blossom is a proponent of this conclusion, arguing that the soul of the adjudicator does not need to be understood. The white braid held a different attitude and implanted human feelings into the male protagonist, while the male protagonist reached a consensus in the final ruling of the female protagonist in his relationship with the female protagonist:
"There's nothing wrong with wanting to understand each other, even if it's wrong, we want to understand each other"
In fact, looking back on all the stories, couples who died because of suspicion, childhood sweethearts who missed out, stars with many children and stepmother otaku, star-chasing girls and love beans, revenge brothers and detectives. How many problems lie in understanding. The understanding between people is so difficult that couples who love each other, childhood sweethearts, and mothers and children who become family members cannot understand each other. And the cartoonist old lady who lived a perfect life offers a solution through Chavo's story:
"When you convey your thoughts to others, what do you do?" "Language?" "Yes, so the author arranged for Chavo to hear no voice" "In addition to language, we have many ways to convey our thoughts. For example" "Smiles " "People in any country will smile when they are happy, and have a sad expression when they are sad" "It's incredible, obviously the language is not the same"
But are expressions the standard answer to understanding?
No, when the male protagonist met the female protagonist for the first time, the female protagonist was smiling and crying. In the first couple, the wife used an expression of resentment and ridicule to say that the child was not the husband's, but it was so that the husband would not suffer for the death of his child. The vengeful criminal policeman and his brother raised their mouths after killing the enemy, but were they really happy in their hearts?
It is so difficult to understand each other, so White Braid asked:
"If you can't use difficulties as an excuse, you can judge human beings at will." "This world can't go on like this."
It's like saying
"Do we give up understanding because it is too difficult?" "No"
But why do we have to be so troublesome and painful to understand others and understand ourselves?
"Pain, then fight" "That's how it is to live"
The above is my general understanding of the main line of understanding, and there are many small eggs I want to talk about. For example, the red-haired irritable man gave the star chaser a chance to let her finally choose to exchange the life of idols with others. In the end, she chose to exchange it with herself but turned into nothingness together. Compared with the male protagonist who asked the female protagonist to choose someone else to revive herself, the female protagonist gave up, and it was decided that it was reincarnated. It is also very interesting.
And Chawo's laugh and the hero's last laugh: "I can't understand you, but I can tell you that I'm very happy with you"
And the red-haired and irritable man painted the star-chasing little wooden figure, does it mean that there is more than one male protagonist who has been implanted with human feelings? Or can dolls germinate emotions on their own?
There is also the heroine who said that the reason for her suicide after recovering her memory was that after she couldn't skate, she found that her important family and friends were "external things", and she who couldn't skate was "nothing", so she hated herself and thought she existed There is no meaning and choose to commit suicide. This point of view is reminiscent of the saying "A person's value is reflected in his social relations" and where should the meaning of our life be based on?
Write a rough outline based on your feeling first, and then fix it when you have time.
