I've liked a good movie for more than ten years, and I've recently started watching it again. What Bo Er and Chung Er saw were completely different. Here are some excerpts for this review. He already has a lot of textual research on various sources and novels, so without repeating the work, he will remember a little bit of things related to cultural history.
1. "Haraway, Ms. is free" Ms. Haraway, a forensic doctor who is not interested in creating human beings, no matter the name, the character or the opinions in the lines, he published the Cyborg Manifesto (Cyborg Manifesto) Donna Haraway. The Cyborg Manifesto is a foundational work of feminist posthumanism. In the "Cyborg Manifesto", Haraway called for the abandonment of absolute boundaries between human/animal, biological/machine, against absolute gender classification, criticized organic family structure, and advocated the replacement of "alliance" with the identity politics advocated by traditional feminism . Lecture from Ms. Haraway, Forensic Medicine/Technician: "'Humans are different from machines', but this belief is just a black-and-white logic to recognize the notion that humans are not machines. Industrial robots aside, but doll-shaped humanoid robots ( Android) is an existence that has nothing to do with utilitarianism and pragmatism. Why are they humanoids? And is it necessary to make them idealized humanoids? Why is human beings so eager to create a form similar to themselves? ...Children do not belong to the common concept of "human beings", that is, they can be called human beings with a clear self-awareness and act according to their own will. So what exactly is a child who is a pre-human stage and lives in chaos? Very Obviously different from humans in the inner part, but with the appearance of human beings. The dolls that the girls play with are not substitutes for real babies or practice props. The girls are not doing parenting exercises when they play the house, and they even play with the dolls. The actual parenting may be almost the same thing. That is to say, having children is the best shortcut to realize the dream of human creation since ancient times."
2. Descartes' daughter "Descartes, who could not distinguish between human and non-human, living and non-living, made a doll in the image of his daughter who died at the age of five, and was doted on."
Descartes' daughter, Francine Descarte, died when she was five years old. "The grieving father made a mechanical doll (animata) in the image of his daughter" is a legendary but irretrievable legend, a beautiful and sad story haunting the many unofficial histories around this great master of intellectual history. But this is also the most classic story in the history of robot puppets. (For more searchable papers "The Mechanical Daughter of Rene Descartes: The origin and history of an intellectual fable")
When searching for Francine, the following picture often appears, but this is not Descartes's daughter doll, but an unnamed automatic memo doll in the CIMA Museum in Switzerland - yes, it is the kind of the Jingzi heroine ! (x)
3. Ball-joint doll (BJD) There are various robot cyborgs in the shell series. The ghost body in Innocence 2 is this ball-joint doll (BJD). The production history of BJD can be traced back to Europe at the end of the 19th century, and it was originally a toy for little girls to play at home. But in the 1930s and 1940s, there was a key figure that made it a leap to cultural status. The surrealist artist Hans Bellmer used plaster, glue, wood, linen and other materials to create a group of life-size sphere-jointed girls Doll, a series of photos full of twisted sadomasochism were taken, which also had a certain influence on doll lovers in Japan and East Asia in the future.
Oshii Mori also mentioned that Bellmer's doll photography had a profound impact on him when he was a student. (Refer to https://web.archive.org/web/20110717033022/http://anime.about.com/library/weekly/bl_inspiration.htm )
4. Taoist palace and temple culture When Bart others went to Zeluo Island in the north, there was a lively temple fair there. It was also the most spectacular 3D visual show in the movie. With Japanese folk songs, it was almost full of birds. Everyone who has seen it knows that he pinched his temple culture in southern Fujian and Taiwan. The production team also went to Taiwan to participate in the temple fair to collect materials (it is said to be the Keelung Zhongyuan Festival). Take a look at the gods in the lens:
1.1 The "Fujian Miscellaneous Notes" of the Ship to the King states: "Going out to sea is also used to drive away the plague. In Fuzhou, in the middle of May and June every year, each community sends money and bamboo into the boat, pasted with five-color silk paper, and equipped with god seats and ceremonial offerings. They are all made of silk paper, and the craftsmanship is still good, and some people who spend dozens of hairpins will hire people to shovel them, beat the conch and drums, and carry the statues of the temples on their shoulders. Folk legends of Wang Ye (Chien-sui) are extremely complicated. For example, Wang Ye was a famous scholar in ancient times. When he saw a poison in a well on his way, he threw himself into the well to warn the villagers not to drink and save lives. , was named the god of plague. In other words, the prince is a scholar or official who was killed in the exam, and people all over the country respect him as a prince, and hope that his heroic soul can continue to bless the people.

1.2. Left: "Choose to capture Qitian Temple" Right: "Choose to capture Jinyitang" Kaitiangong is a Tianhou Palace in Taipei; Jinyitang can't be found, maybe it's self-made?
1.3. Looking at the position and weapons, it should be the head of the eight generals/official generals. The name varies according to the origin of the burst. The guardian general next to the main god.
1.4. The third prince is Nezha. In Taiwanese folk beliefs, it is the center of the five battalions of gods who command palaces, temples and temples. The small lamp on the head reminds people of the "Third Prince of Electronic Music" in the modern version of the temple fair.
1.5. Art Pavilion/Tai Pavilion "Art Pavilion" is Taiwan's unique name for "Tai Pavilion". Taige is a kind of antique traditional float in which real people play various mythological and dramatic characters, and there are pavilions and pavilions with flowers, plants and trees, so as to present the storyline of folklore or novels and operas.
