After watching EVA, I feel that I am very full, and I need to digest the three concepts of Oedipus complex, religious theology and existentialism. . . The short reviews couldn’t fit, and they were rushed to write long reviews (눈_눈) 1. ATField is the wall of the heart. In the theory related to existentialism, it is proposed that when the self is in contact with others, the absolute freedom of the individual will inevitably be broken, and people need to be in a world full of boundaries to determine the existence of the self, so the wall of the heart is also the reason why people It is an important feature of human beings and human existence. 2. The human complementation plan is to remove the wall of the heart and realize the integration between people, which also means that we hope to achieve absolute freedom in coexistence with others. The body is the barrier to fusion, so human beings try to break away from the body (death) to reach the spiritual fusion between different individuals, that is, to become gods. However, the realm of God means a void after the elimination of boundaries. Human beings want to achieve absolute freedom, so they strive to become a god. However, absolute freedom can only be achieved through death, so becoming a god and death have become a set of echoes worth pondering. 3. The contradiction between Ikari Shinji and his father is the most obvious manifestation of the wall of the heart. He chose to escape in the face of the estrangement with his father. Ayanami, Misato and Asuka are all projections of Ikari Shinji's mother's desire and sexual desire, and they also provide the possibility of how people can overcome barriers to achieve tolerance and understanding. This show ubiquitously embodies the Oedipus complex of anxiety about the father and attachment to the mother (but this setting of the staring and soothing functions of the female character makes me very uncomfortable). Friends say that the smartest thing about Anno Hideaki is that he has no intention of discussing external issues, and the whole world is just a symbol of youthful spirit. However, this model of complete separation of individuals and societies is no longer viable in the 21st century.
By the way, I've watched several classics in the past year, and wanted to take the opportunity to briefly summarize them.
1970s "Devil Man": The devil is just a metaphor for the evil of mankind, so it is the constant struggle between mankind that pushes the end of the world.
1980s "Aguila": The growing youth means not only the rapid development of technology and human civilization, but also instability and danger. Therefore, the final high level of human civilization also pushes mankind to the end.
1990s "Neon Genesis Evangelion": The destruction of the world is also a metaphor for individual death. Humans desire to achieve absolute freedom and can only go through death and destruction. Otherwise, they must learn how to coexist with others.
2020s "Attack on Titan": A step further than EVA, moving from a very individualized narrative to a race for freedom, in a life-or-death situation, having to take the world in order to take my freedom from the world It still reveals the contradictions between individuals and others in existentialism and how they should coexist.
All in all, although destroying the world is very cool, everyone should sit down and think about the issue of coexistence. The earth is my family’s love and care for everyone~(￣▽￣～)~
