At first, I was somewhat dissatisfied with the setting of "judging whether humans should go to heaven or hell" in the play. At that time, I didn't realize that the adjudicator's actions were not judgments at all, but deliberately leading the darkness of human nature. I just felt that it was too hasty for them to judge a person's good and evil in such a short period of time. disrespectful. The first episode was unsurprisingly about the dark side of human nature, but the plot after that gave me a big surprise: each showdown has a completely different theme, and each theme only makes sense until life and death. I thought that in a bowling match, a man would regret his heart after realizing the truth, but he didn't. Instead, he reluctantly completed a date with the other party in what could really be called the last moment of his life. I thought that the game hall duel was also to show the survival instinct of human beings at the juncture of life and death, but no, I always remember that the young man recalled his memories of his life and regretted why he couldn't satisfy his stepmother's little wish. I thought the idol brother would kick his fans off the platform before the threat of death, but he didn't in the end, whether it was the latter's last-minute confession of love, or the former's reminiscence of the original intention and the help against his will to survive , and mistakenly think that the other party's pain after death, these are on the contrary the bright side of human nature, and even more incredible is that this is still displayed in the face of death. I thought the showdown of the revenge group was a cliché about the theory that justice is late, but the criminal police's indifferent, indifferent and malicious act of catching the criminal and watching the crime on the other hand undoubtedly made me stunned. My brother tried countless times to endure his desire for revenge against him, but in the end he was inspired by the other party's provocative remarks. The twisted smile he showed at the end made me feel sad - revenge for the sake of my sister is actually a response to failure in time. The futile compensation for protecting her, death is not enough to pay, so in the world after death, he still has to go against his good nature and inflict pain on another perpetrator, so what did he gain in the end? There was nothing, the younger sister was hurt, and he took his own life and couldn't accompany her to the end of her life. What shattered was only the coin that connected the pain, and it was his soul. Is the detective's provocation really because he gave up on himself after he completely fell into darkness? I surmise with kindness that it is not necessarily because I betray my conscience that I hate myself so much. I want to provoke the other person with words because I want to pull someone back and use pain to atone for my sins before death. In the last set of confrontations, the grandmother accepted death peacefully, and showed another completely different attitude towards death. So, back to the beginning, this anime really makes the adjudicator stand in the gods Do you judge human nature from the point of view? no. At best, the adjudicators are bystanders other than the common people. Not only that, but they also started from a wrong standpoint. Accompanied by the human adjudicators, they have a new and correct understanding of human beings, a complex but simple species. I didn't understand at first what Dekim meant by "I have a lot of respect for all human beings who have worked their way through life", since most of the guests who come to the Judgment land die by accident. I realized later that because the puppets have neither life nor death, they do not understand the meaning of death, and therefore think that life is just a process leading to death, and since death is nothingness, then life should have no meaning. But this is not the case with human beings. Humans know that the end point is death, but they still find the meaning of life and move forward without fear, appreciating different emotions and experiencing different stories.
I take life as the norm so much that I forget that I am actually moving towards death. In this way, although human beings are ordinary, they are extraordinarily magnificent in the face of death.
Whether human beings are good or evil, no one can and is not qualified to judge. Humans can’t, and neither can anyone outside of them—a puppet without emotion, beyond life and death, isn’t it a microcosm of God? Just being able to live out the meaning of one's own life recklessly in the face of life and death is already the greatest meaning of the existence of the human race in the world.
Live well.
It is a burden and a freedom.
