the out-of-control political landscape as the background of the story;
the chaotic city as the gloomy tone;
the ruthless protagonist steeped in introspection;
the powerful narration in large sections; the
icy violence of iron and the fiery The blood of revolution.
——All kinds of things, making a live-action movie becomes an indescribably boring film, and making an animated movie becomes an indescribable epic.
But in fact, one sentence is enough:
one thought experiment after another.
Werewolf, the story of man and wolf, the story of the big bad wolf and the little red riding hood.
So who is the Big Bad Wolf and who is the Little Red Riding Hood? Is it Fu Yigui and Amamiya Kei?
In front of the iron wall of the organization, all individuals are just weak little red riding hoods, whether it is Fu Yigui or Amamiya Kei.
What is the film about? A cruel world, a desperate life, an emotional experience of love and hate, or the beauty and ugliness of human nature?
Wrong, all wrong.
Mamoru Oshii, an old and angry youth who has experienced the test of iron and blood, never pinned his hopes on such ethereal things as human nature, and never sought consolation and redemption in the love of his children.
Mamoru Oshii is not so naive.
"Actually, the 20th century was nothing more than an experimental field for various theories of the 19th century. It turned out that by the end of the century, most of the experiments had failed." What
Mamoru Oshii really cares about, what he pursues in his life, is something that comes from people. .
Look at modern world history:
the rise of the third class, the domination of the
breakaway dynasty
, the end of the dynasty ,
the hope of socialism
From the mobile police to the human wolf, from the gits to the sacgig in the May Revolution , Oshii Shou, who had experienced ups and downs in his youth, now stands on the top of the mountain like a hermit; The second time he fell into the abyss, those scenes were blended with his own experience, pushing him to do thought experiments over and over again in his mind like a soldering iron.
Look: the armed forces have entered the city again, and the protesters have once again filled the streets. The contradictions are as sharp and imminent as the last time. Can this revolution lead people to a bright and right path?
On this fictitious historical scroll, the iron walls of the system, the deep ravines of interests, and the hustle and bustle of the crowd are depicted - Mamoru Oshii stood in front of the painting, intercepting such a small piece of fine detail for us, but it was like a mustard seed , how many human sorrows and joys are hidden!
=====================================
I have always believed that Chinese people can naturally appreciate the works of Mamoru Oshii And there is no hindrance, because the entire modern history of China is a long series of failed experimental records:
Christianity has become a false Taiping Heavenly Kingdom;
the dream of a constitutional monarchy was shattered in less than a hundred days;
the democratic republic ended in the failure of the Revolution of 1911;
state capitalism It was cut in half by World War II;
it was possible to cooperate in the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, but the narrowness of all parties caused life to be ruined;
the 12 years of nothingness made the nation like a swaying boat that abandoned all goods but could not find the port to dock;
and now, Sehui Cooking Art , nationalism was boiled into a pot of rotten porridge.
Thanks to Mamoru Oshii for giving us the ability to experiment with thought, which is an important means to help us practice.
