The melancholy and thoughts, the pain and loneliness, the strong resonance and the sadness that I couldn't get rid of for a long time after watching "Cowboy Bebop" convinced me of this: this may be the favorite animation of my life.
Bebop is like a small boat in the vast universe, sailing among the stars, just like us who were born in this world.
The soundtrack is a must. The soundtrack is the soul of Cowboy Star. Yoko Kanno is very amazing, CB's ost is the pinnacle in a sense. The melody is beautiful, the arrangement is unparalleled, and her understanding of the peak of jazz makes the listeners linger and indulge. The melodious saxophone, the playful and sad blues, piano, guitar, drums, the singing of the sky, the soulful singing of a group of singers with unique voices such as Steve Contes, the soundtracks of various styles are perfectly integrated into the stories and scenes. blood. They are one. Aunt Yoko's soundtrack creates the unique charm of Cowboy Star. Cowboy Star's story and music form a unique chemistry. It's an anthem of jazz and space, sad and romantic.
Every time whether it is a soundtrack or vocal singing, it is a surprise and enjoyment. I will take the initiative to suspend the song search, in order to maximize the retention of the plot fragment and the memory connection of each BGM. It's like "Words we couldn't say", every time I hear it, I think back to the first episode, the woman who runs away from her lover for love has come to an end. She took the initiative to control the spaceship to meet the muzzle of the gun, and gradually lost its vitality under the baptism of bullets in the broken glass and metal fragments, and... the corner of her mouth smiled decisively.
Like the nameless steel planet at the beginning of an episode, the streets are empty, the street lights are dim, and the ash-like sky is snowing. In the dimly lit bar, the mournful and soulful sound of the saxophone roams, filling every corner of this dilapidated place. Faye, who was leaning on the bar, was covered in misty dust. Spike was walking down the street alone, pattering from the gloomy sky. His trench coat stood collar, slender body, lonely back revealed the loneliness that could not be concealed. Withered roses lay in small pools of water accumulated on the ground, falling petals, sparse rain.
At these moments, when Aunt Yoko's soundtrack came out, the plot reached its climax or was plain and plain, but also came from sadness, which made me really feel a strong resonance and a bottomless loneliness.
Four people and one dog met each other, wandering in space, catching bounty criminals, laughing and tearing, they witnessed every bit of the world together. But no matter the joys or sorrows, they (we) will eventually realize that everyone's life is just a line of intersection. Although they meet and know each other because of fate, they will gradually drift away from now on, and may never see each other again.
Ghostly, cynical, capable of fighting but also vegetables, "regarding wealth as fate", the purple-haired beauty who always loses the chain at critical moments, in fact, has long lost the direction and meaning of life, and has nowhere to go and nowhere to escape; When she found that there was still someone in front of her to cherish, she also found that she couldn't keep him to find her own home. What her past is is no longer important, because what she recalls can never come back; her future may no longer be important, because the intersecting line goes farther and farther, she can only look at the other side of the horizon, draw the ground as a prison, Make this home. How much Faye didn't care about in the past, how many jokes and seemingly free and easy, how lonely and painful in the end.
Abandoned by the past, the uncle who resolutely decided to cut off the past and was determined to wander, came alone, and maybe there is only one person left in the end. Bebop has come up with such a big group of partners, Faye who owes money and can't go anywhere, Spike, a saboteur who loves to do things and causes trouble, and a genius hacker girl who doesn't know the world and has a strange skeleton. Ed, and the cute (with an extra mouth) puppy Ein with a super high IQ. Obviously they are a bunch of troublemakers, and they only decide to wander alone, but Jet embraces and loves each of them with his own heart and his own way. But generosity and kindness failed to retain people in the end, leaving the loneliness and loneliness of a spaceship empty. They come and go, leaving Cowboy Bebop to navigate the vast universe.
The hacker girl with high IQ, simple and lovely, who comes and goes as she wants, may not understand what loneliness is, nor the meaning of life in this world; but in the end, she also understands what she may need. The things that are pursued have the direction, meaning and destination to be found. In the sky and the earth covered by the crimson sunset, one person and one dog's tiny back gradually disappeared.
I will always remember the loneliness and endless sadness that filled my heart after watching Cowboy Bebop.
Life is, after all, a journey full of partings. Spike seems to be free and uninhibited, and he is neat and does not leave any traces, but he is the one of the four who is most emotionally separated and unable to let go. Throughout his life, he has experienced constant loss. He knew very well that he should let go of those pasts and gains and losses, but he also knew that he could not let go. He could only look at the blood-colored sky, smoking cigarettes one after another without saying a word, and then running towards the destined ending.
Loneliness is the melody of the universe. After the lines of life intersect, they extend farther and farther away from each other without looking back. Like a cowboy heading west, if you have the courage to go on the road alone, you will have the consciousness to leave alone. What crossed the horizon was not a meteor, but the tears of a soldier, the soul of a fallen soldier.
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
See you space cowboy, someday, somewhere.
