Life is but a dream

The story always has an end, how I hope these cowboy and cowgirl stories can never end, wandering in the endless universe.

BEBOP is a spacecraft that represents free will. The passengers on the spacecraft are also aimless about the future. They do whatever they want, but each of them is attached to the past. Faye is chasing the memory of the past, Spike is also entangled in the love of the past, and Jet has always kept his prosthesis because of the past experience. It seems that only Ed and Ein do not have too much obsession with the past.

At the end of the story, Faye found her memory, but her past is now a waste. Ed and Ein left the BEBOP to find their own home. Spike, who was obsessed with the past, finally reconciled with the past. Only Jet knows the truth about his past and is still adrift in space with the BEBOP.

At the end Faye blocked Spike for what reason I don't know, is it a friend who cares? Or love? I guess it doesn't matter anymore, Spike is going to his destiny after all.

Life is just a dream, and BEBOP's journey is also a dream. The dream will wake up, but life will not end. The BEBOP will always sail in the hearts of every cowboy.

See you, space cowboy.

See you, space cowgirl.

See you, BEBOP.

    Rewatch. Honestly, it wasn't until Faye saw what she was as a teenage girl 50 years ago that really touched me, and her journey revealed where these adventurers came from: finding who they were was making the past and who they were. However, the historical time and space on the screen is ruthlessly raving: you can never achieve this identity, even if you are stagnant in the present, your separation from the past and the country is eternal. Before that, all the unit episodes, the scenery they saw, and the stories they experienced all pointed to this different one, but the cowboys didn't dare to face up to their own meaninglessness.

    Another re-enactment of the two golden age Hollywood genres, Wild West and Black Tough Guy, in a wild space setting, like a lighter version of Raymond Chandler; everyone's character is so full, especially Spike, there are too many people's shadows in him, and the habit of chain-smoker and the warm quality hidden in indifference are really like Bogart; I am very interested in whether Joss Whedon's "Firefly" is from here. Steal a lot

Cowboy Bebop quotes

  • Jet Black: Everything has a beginning and an end. Life is just a cycle of starts and stops. There are ends we don't desire, but they're inevitable, we have to face them. It's what being human is all about.

  • Jet Black: I started wailing the blues when the doctor whacked my bottom on the day I was born.
