in his hand flickers on and off
, the thick smoke lingers,
those creatures called insects
fill the world and surround his life] I
remember that when I was in college in Beijing a few years ago, I often went to Shop for discs in a small shop near D'anmen Drum Tower Street.
For Beijing, the streets of Di'anmenwai Street are not spacious at all. The straight streets lead directly to the ancient Drum Tower, as if time stretches here, from ancient times to the present.
Grey bricks and black tiles, please cool and antique, the sycamores are lush in summer, and the mood is always precipitation.
There are many small shops on both sides of the street, but they sell electronic products such as games and CDs, and they often go home alone.
It was the first time I saw the bug master, and I was still impressed.
In the evening of the harsh winter, at that time, there was a tense rehearsal for the graduation drama in the Shaw Theater of the Chinese Academy of Drama. When I got home in the evening, I stopped by the small shop I frequented to buy discs.
It was placed in a pile of colorful and green, and in the dark background, a silver-haired man sat alone in the dark, the smoke in his mouth rose up with charming smoke, and in the air, strange light bugs flickered around. The traditional Chinese character "Insect Master" seems to contain a thousand words in such a deep picture.
It was like love at first sight, I knew, I would love him.
Such a unique character and positioning must not be a superficial work.
[His footsteps are long and
steady , traversing the misty mountains and forests
or the sunset pastures.
He seems to be detached from everything in the world
and walks stubbornly.
He said that
his physique is naturally attracted to insects,
so he can't stay in one place for a long time,
which means that
he I have to travel all my life, I
'm doomed to lonely
Destined to wander,
destined to have a beginning and no end
, but so frankly and firmly
accept such a fate]
In the impression of many people, animation is always superficial and naive. In fact, many deep-level high-quality animations have long been born.
Such as "Kino's Journey", such as "Grey Feather Alliance", such as Jin Min, such as Oshii Mamoru, such as Otomo Keyang, there are too many.
Animation is actually a good carrier, with technology, resources, and market; at the same time, planning, investment, and production are more convenient and quicker than film and television, and are not restricted by conditions and money, and the expressiveness of imagination that can be scaled at will is slightly higher. So, don't underestimate them.
The story of the insect master is very strange. His strangeness lies in its difficulty. After watching it again and again, he does not understand the deep meaning, but he can feel the shock with his heart. a feeling of.
In the worldview of "Insect Master", the most primitive form of all life is insects, an existence that is neither an animal nor a plant, but is closest to the original form of life.
Under normal circumstances, they cannot be perceived by people, but they affect people's lives in a variety of weird ways. It seems that some joys, sorrows and sorrows in life, some strange, are caused by them.
A small group of people, they see worms, learn worms, understand worms, and thus become "bug masters" and become travelers. Collect all kinds of information and types of bugs around, and also help people who are troubled by bugs during their travels.
Yingu is one of them, and the story follows his footsteps and looks at the world.
I always keep thinking about the meaning of the film, what is it about - life? is life? Philosophy? Is it Buddhism?
Up to now, I still have no idea, but every time I watch it again, I can always get a new understanding.
It seems like a kind of magic that you can immerse yourself in without knowing the details.
[Yin Gu said that
insects are not good or bad,
they are pure existence
Affects everything in the world,
life is like a dream
, is it insects that control life
, or life breeds insects
, insects are people's thoughts
, or people's thoughts create insects,
no answer,
no answer]
Many "bug friends" who like "Insect Master" are always meaningful I sighed at the deep and peaceful atmosphere in the film, the classical and cold artistic conception, the pictures of ink and wash, and the long and long music. No matter in terms of story, picture or connotation, "The Insect Master" is art rather than entertainment, discussion rather than display.
For many years, the awe and love for "Insect Master" has not diminished at all.
Life is immortal, it will not stop thinking.
Those insignificant people live and die in the story, grudges, seeks or loses, comprehends and completes.
Yingu has always been like an outsider, as if he has no emotions, no desires, detached and calm.
He is a person who has experienced bone pain, and after realizing it, he became Yingu.
All the people who can reach this level always seem to be the same. After experiencing the unimaginable pains and struggles in life, those who can bravely be reborn into Nirvana are beyond everything.
The attachment to travel can also be said to be caused by him.
Admiring him, yearning for him, and longing to travel.
It seems that many things are the same.
[The Sea of Pens——
Danyou and Yingu walking in the forest
Yingu 's indifference,
faint and quiet forbearance,
two people have similar inner feelings Yingu
asks
if one day the mission is completed, what
would you most like to do, Danyou said, I want to travel with you Yingu Good answer
If I can live safely till then
, it may
be just a dream that I can't chase, but in my opinion , Danyou is the only person who is worthy of walking with Yingu.] Before, I occasionally lost sleep at night and felt bored. He turned off the lights and sat in a dark room watching the bug master alone. The silver light on the screen flickers, and the night is quiet, which is most suitable for the artistic conception of water in the film. Don't cry, don't laugh, don't cry. However, I feel that with the music and pictures, in Yingu's low and slightly hoarse tone, he has exhausted his splendor and returned to the depths of his soul. Life is so painful, life and death, love and hate gain and loss, and many, many more. Looking at those bizarre stories, reflecting the truth, there was a storm in my heart, and I became more and more calm. We have seen all the pain and miracles of life to be like silver. He must be lonely, but he understands that life is supposed to be like this. [When he was young, he saw eternal darkness by the pool. The night attacked him. He was lost in the labyrinth of never-ending darkness. The thick black light worm wandered under his feet. The silver worm was so beautiful and dazzling . I will forget everything, but don't forget my name. If I forget, name myself whatever I want, otherwise I will sink into the eternal darkness and disappear without a trace . My name is my name. He muttered to himself.
He completely forgot the past and
became Yingu]
We walked through the fog of life and listened to the low voice of the mountains in the dark night. The swamp passes, travels from the ground, persistently swims to the sea, and is reborn in nirvana. Missing from the other side of the sea will eventually come to an end. The bridge built overnight, unable to support the weight of life, collapsed suddenly. For the person I love deeply, I would not hesitate to cut off the roots, just for his joy and laughter. Die one day and be reborn the next day. Facing the infinitely extending vast space and time, I would rather be short and full inside. Winter phantoms, whistling spring, just to see the fantastic phantoms, don't hesitate to sleep in it... Yingu, Yingu, where are
your footprints now...
[Xiaochun——
Winter on the other side,
all things lurking,
only like spring The germination of things is
called the illusion of spring, the
silence is like the sound of butterfly flapping wings, the
roar of cold winter and spring, it is incessant in my
ears]
