The beginning has the temperament of a good movie. The colorful and noisy city and the simple red and black cast are interspersed with very advanced design, and the young male protagonist (Jiu Tai) whose expression is not commensurate with his age in the crowd creates a strong atmosphere of "something is going to happen soon". Enough to get those late spectators who are still scrambling to find seats to sit down quickly.
The ending is no different. Just talking about XXX (I am not very witty in order not to spoil the spoiler) The picture of the dark incarnation of Jiutai’s favorite whale glittering and walking quietly on the streets of Tokyo is strange and beautiful, and the BGM embellished with crisp ringtones is also integrated. It can be said; when I fought with Jiutai, I also changed my shape, and the whole turned into a dreamy blue whale with a halo of countless water droplets, which made people (I) have to sigh deeply politically incorrectly: This child grew up from childhood to adulthood. The taste from positive to negative is so good! talk! Say!
As an animation, "Son of the Monster" can score 95 points with excellent graphics similar to the above, while the plot can score 96 points. On the way, I thought the director wanted to talk about an inspirational legend. A teenager with a broken family encounters a mentor in life and strives to grow into a generation of masters with his own efforts. I didn't expect to see it and finally found out that this is actually a story about everyone who has darkness in their hearts but never fails. A story that cannot simply fall into it.
But to be honest, it is only in recent years that I have gradually realized that everyone has a dark side. When I was young, I always felt that other people's families were very happy and harmonious. The children of other families lived happily and carefree, but in my own family, either parents quarreled, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarreled, or there was a big scene where father took a kitchen knife and his brother copied a stool, and so on. I don't know how many TV sets have been damaged over the years. So I often feel that it would be better if I was born in someone else's family.
Later, I gradually had more friends who could talk to each other, and I realized that it was not easy for many people at home. Some fathers don’t make money, some mothers don’t care about the family, some brothers/brothers/sisters/sisters are disobedient to the point of being unimaginable, or in some families, although everyone has a good temperament, a certain family member gets it, but it costs money and can’t be cured. Well sick and so on. Then I felt that I was doing pretty well by comparison (of course, there are many students who have been smooth sailing and nothing has happened).
Fortunately, even when I was unbalanced, I didn't take too many detours because of family reasons (a bad college entrance examination is a small detour, I will have a chance to talk about this later, if anyone is interested), I finished high school normally, The university also read a graduate student because of his inexplicable obsession. In the family on both sides of my parents, I am the only one in this generation who has obtained this degree.
The reason is that studying is the right thing to do, that it is the shortest way to become a better person for yourself, and that you are not simply taken away by negative energy. Before, I didn't understand so many great truths, what darkness fell into; I just felt that the world was so big, and I wanted to know so much, I just had to try my best to understand it.
But it also created problems. My experience is very different from that of my family, and I am often faced with a state of separation, unable to integrate well into the family or the city, no matter which side encounters problems (and both sides often encountered problems), there is almost no one to understand and talk to. Therefore, in the four years of university and the first few years of work after graduation, many times there is a very dark and dark side in my heart.
I have had such an experience. In "Children of Monsters", when the heroine Feng held Jiutai, who felt that she was an ugly monster, when she said the following lines, she cried vividly:
I also sometimes suffer so much that I can't help it. Like medicine, I feel that something is going to burst out of my heart, not only you, not only me, but everyone is definitely like this, so it doesn't matter.
If only someone had said that to me, when I didn't understand so much. I'm not the only one who will suffer, and I'm not the only one who is desperate. Everyone is like this. I'm not an alien, I'm not a monster, so it doesn't matter. If only someone said that to me, I should be on the right track faster.
Fortunately, I met the right person later. Although I didn't say such in-depth words, he gave me something else, which made me gradually understand this fact. Some people failed to understand, but were swallowed by darkness and fell into an irreversible situation, and it was too late. There are many such people, just like XXX in the movie, and sometimes it will endanger people who already understand. Don't be afraid to face such people, as Feng said, we will not lose:
What do you want to do? Is it enough to tear the hated opponent to shreds, trample it underfoot, and suppress the opponent with strength? Although you have that gigantic appearance, you are nothing but a human being obsessed with revenge. No matter who it is, everyone has a dark place in their hearts. Lian has it, and I also have it. We carry the darkness and struggle desperately. Therefore, Lian will not lose to someone like you who simply falls into the darkness. We are Will not lose to you!
Lian is Jiutai, his name in the human world. When I heard Feng say these words, I thought of another movie, "Room" that was released not long ago. The boy mainly cut his hair and gave his "strength" to his mother, and asked if his strength could become his mother's strength. The grandmother replied, of course, and said something like this:
We all help each other to stay strong, and no one can be alone. strong.
This sentence is very suitable for this movie. Feng was right, she and Lian did not succumb to the darkness, but Ichirohiko was at the mercy of the heart of darkness, indicating that she and Lian had stronger willpower, so they would not lose; but this is not comprehensive enough, the reason why Lian did not The reason for giving in is because Xiong Che and Feng, Xiong Che and Feng helped him successively when he slipped to the edge of darkness twice. Lian Neng defeated XXX, and Xiong Che and Feng played a decisive role.
You must have the essence of not bowing your head to the darkness, and you must have people who are willing to help you, so that you are complete. Although you cannot guarantee that the darkness will be completely eliminated, it is not far from happiness.
If you're not so lucky and haven't met someone who is willing and able to help you, then draw more energy from movies like "Children of the Monsters". Remember not to lose to the darkness in your heart no matter what, it will only waste your time.
I like the role of Xiong Che very much, and it will be very good to marry such a person. Kind-hearted, pure, goal-oriented and aggressive, and... a tall man! Ha ha. It's just that the arrangement the director gave him in the end was too cruel... I will always remember you, Xiong Che-jun!
Finally, I would like to mention a small detail: the whale incarnated by XXX was not monitored by the explosion-proof camera, but the people nearby could see it. This is because the people have a dark side in their hearts but the cameras do not.
So everyone is like this, so it really doesn't matter~
