[Full-time Hunter] The most shocking thing to me is the angle of its storytelling:
The story is completely developed based on the major premise of [the law of the jungle, the law of the jungle], but this feature is not specially emphasized, but is integrated into the background of the story in an extremely natural way. This background may seem cruel, but the story is told in a very "optimistic" tone - it is more appropriate to say that the whole story is told from the perspective of the protagonist Xiaojie who has a strong mind - — This means that the protagonist has the awareness that he and others are devoured by the stronger, has no fear, and enjoys it.
It is in such a background that is not sympathetic to the weak and seems cruel, the story describes the sincere emotional entanglement between different people, with a very subtle sense of reality.
After careful consideration and feeling, watching any film and television work does not have the same discomfort as watching Hunter - not the fear of facing the dark, but the discomfort of the "willful" thinking of the strong. In the process of chasing the show, I couldn't express the five flavors in my heart very well. After reading it, I savored it again. In conclusion, Xiaojie's strong thinking mode is so strong that I feel a little uncomfortable.
What I want to emphasize here is not that he is a strong man himself, but that he has the thinking mode of a strong man.
Anime can exaggerate its characteristics to the extreme. Such a protagonist undoubtedly has a huge impact on me. It is not so much that this character is unreasonable, but that he is very unfamiliar with his fearlessness.
What the character of Xiaojie exaggerates is not his spiritual kindness and sense of justice or his vision to save the world, but his thinking mode and perspective of seeing the world as the strongest, and this perspective is so relevant to Xiaojie. All in all, it is impossible for ordinary people to substitute, and the pure heart of such a strong person makes people feel awe and distance.
I have seen a lot of drama critics commenting on Xiaojie that his own pursuits and dreams are above everything else. Unlike Qiyi who clearly puts Xiaojie in the first place, Xiaojie will not give up his pursuit for his companions. The typical person wants everything and can pursue it regardless of the consequences, but this belief has created a "terrifying" situation where he really is more likely to have anything.
On the other hand, although he is recognized as a perfect character, he is actually a very down-to-earth person. Even if he has almost any advantages imaginable, because of his upbringing, what he lacks is very clear. He has always been Since the desire for friendship is his psychological weakness, his pursuit is actually very small. When emotionally he is satisfied, he has no more requirements. So when he has a friend like Xiaojie, everything he does is for Xiaojie, and friends are always the first.
Xiaojie is extremely dangerous because he has too many options to pursue (related to his own strong thinking). He has an endless curiosity about the world and will not be satisfied by something as simple as that. His world is too rich to see what's most important to him; Chia's quest is friendship with people, and Kurapika's responsibility for revenge far outweighs any of his other quests, so they Life's priorities are clear. Only Xiaojie is full of himself, but he does not bear heavy responsibilities, so it is difficult to describe his priorities in life. He does not know or think about it unless it is a last resort. The thinking of the person is even more impossible to give up any choice.
A lot of people say that Xiaojie and his father Jin are cold, but I don't agree with them, but I don't think it's comprehensive. From the evaluations of others, including Kate Qi, it can be seen that Jin and Xiaojie have never met before for them. The existence of light, that is, they are powerful enough to illuminate others without needing others to illuminate themselves. In the last episode, Jin also stated that he had actually found something precious when he was pursuing a larger world, that is, the process of working hard with his companions. For strong men like Jin and Xiaojie, the exploration of the world and the The friendship between the companions complements each other, and there is no idea that if one does not have the other (that's how willful), I think the protagonist created by Fu Jian is this kind of person with the strongest mind.
But what I do not deny is that in the process of enjoying the film, there is also a little discomfort that I have never felt before, perhaps because I have an instinctive awe of things I don’t understand, because they make me feel terrible, like strange Y said, "Xiaojie's light is too dazzling".
