say anything

In fact, I don't really want to rate it, because I always feel that if you are serious about scoring according to a certain principle, you can just give it a score. It's not very good. But after reading the mark, I have to give it a score, so I usually give full marks. To be honest, my own perception is more complicated. It's hard for me to like Kamina's brainless recklessness in the first few episodes, and of course it's more boring than disgusting. To be honest, the reason I watched this was precisely because Kamina was dead (not that I expected it of course). Of course, from the time of Kamina's death, what I thought was interesting began to emerge, that is, the bond between Kamina and Simon. It's a feeling that you only understand after you've lost it. It is precisely the death of Kamina that makes people begin to pay attention to the emotional support between Kamina and Simon that was easily overlooked in the past. This emotional support includes Kamina's own dependence on Simon. This is an interesting place. It seems reasonable for the weak to depend on the strong, but it seems strange that the strong depend on the weak, but when you think about it, Kamina may not be the strong one. . In fact, Kamina has a volcanic personality, and there is an urge to spurt on itself, but this is just a personality trait, just like some people are quiet and others are active, so if you don't consider this brave If it is a beautiful quality, then when Kamina also feels lonely and desperate, the meaning of Simon's company will be obvious.

Of course, I don't like brainless recklessness, and even with this emphasis on momentum and courage, I can say that I don't like it. Just as an impression, what I want to say is that if you don't praise or depreciate Kamina's recklessness, but only regard it as the character's own character trait (in fact, any character trait has its own unique charm), then at least It is no longer possible to experience this from a value perspective but an aesthetic perspective instead. And in fact, Kamina has indeed infected people who are on the verge of despair with her own momentum and courage, especially those who are limited by the so-called rational labyrinth. When people give up the courage to break the existing environment, it is easy to be coerced by the so-called rationality and reciprocate in the established path. In fact, people can claim to be rational at any time, but this kind of rationality is actually only limited by certain perspectives and is usually accompanied by self-righteous rationality. Because of this, only things like momentum and courage can break through the confinement. This seems absurd.

But in the end, as long as people think rationally, they must regard this kind of recklessness as wrong and irresponsible. This is a limitation that is difficult for people to break through. No matter when, people's vision must be limited, then there must be a corresponding reason as the imprisonment for people, and the breakthrough of it must be reckless and absurd, even if it is successful, it is a fluke. In this way, reason will always lead people to a kind of static eternity, that is, the barrier that Fanli will always break through.

Of course, in addition to the breakthrough itself, Simon's growth experience is also an interesting topic. In fact, I don't like this kind of show very much, I prefer brainless works. Simon has grown and transformed several times, and this process runs throughout the show. Honestly, Simon wasn't annoying, and the transition wasn't very abrupt. The reason I say I don't like it is that Simon has completely turned into an ideal personality in the end, even if it is the result of his countless growths, the author has a malicious intention to promote his transformation by stripping away the people he relies on. , first Kamina, then Nia, but the fact that people eventually become able to get used to and adapt to loneliness is also very worrying. It's true that Simon is no longer the one who relies on Kamina, and he can even accept the fact that Nia has disappeared, but the mentality of being close to a saint really makes me uncomfortable. Although it seems like a good thing that someone with the power of God seems to act like a god that people want.

As for Lu Xiu, I actually said it before, rational people are destined to be trapped, but I don't hate him. The fact that young people grit their teeth and bear heavy burdens is actually quite touching. In the end, the role It has its own action logic, and the actions of the characters have their own effects. For example, people like Kamina can motivate morale, and people like Lu Xiu can complete delicate affairs, and it doesn’t matter who is superior or inferior. has its own unique meaning.

Also, Simon's final act is really intriguing, that is, let the past be the past, otherwise they will become a bulwark for the latecomers. To be honest, this kind of thinking is quite abnormal. It's really boring to think about things from the perspective of the universe and the world alone. Of course, it is undeniable that this is indeed the sublimation of the work, that is, the consistency of the theme. Or to replace the static and frozen world with a changing and dynamic world.

Finally, I want to make a comment. In fact, I still don’t like to watch so-called sublimated works. Isn’t it fragrant for a big reunion, and is it not fragrant for no brains. . . .
