Apocalypse of the Wolf

In the film, the special plane team members are human wolves, and Fu Ze is the representative of human wolves. They are both wolves in human skins and people in wolf skins. Fu's hesitation and emotional swings when confronting the two girls showed his weakness as a human wolf, while he was a bloodthirsty wolf when confronted by rebels and chasing enemies. Fu was loyal to the human wolf organization that gave him a sense of security, and finally pulled the trigger and killed the heroine Amamiya. Amamiya is the Little Red Riding Hood in the play, focusing on the inferiority of human nature such as weakness, deceit, betrayal, and indirectly eating human flesh and drinking human blood for the riot organization she is loyal to, but she is still a human being. So the werewolf fell under the muzzle of the human wolf.

In this play, Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf are neither extremely sinful nor innocent, and there is no absolute justice and evil. Accustomed to the central idea of ​​the victory of good over evil, it is really not suitable for this kind of ruthlessness. In reality, is it accustomed to call many wolves heroes and Little Red Riding Hood as martyrs? Fu and Amamiya, if you choose which side to stand on? Is there Fu and Amamiya around? Have you cheered for them? Should be cheering for it. As for the special aircraft team that Fu relied on and the guerrilla team that Amemiya joined in, does the guerrilla team sound better?

Why the fleet refused to disintegrate in the film, I don't understand. Could it be that they are unwilling to give up the power of wanton killing? Is it difficult to let go once you have power? Can power bring bloodthirsty joy? Or is it just that Vice Captain Handa will lose his position? Will V lose his job? Incredible.

    This kind of man-wolf simple and rude men has a naive and narcissistic worldview (maybe Oshii thinks this is "man's romance"?) and the complexity of the text does not match the complexity of the text, not to mention the performance of animated films in real situations Li is also at a disadvantage compared to real people. So the spy war story still depends on Mr. Le Carre, where there are more mature feelings and richer humanity.

    Oshii Mamoru was the screenwriter, and the supervision was given to Okiura Kiyuki. As always, it embodies Oshii Mamoru's pessimistic nihilism - the failure of human beings to save themselves, and similar mistakes will always be repeated in history. I don't think there is a binary opposition between the people and the wolf in the story, but there is humanity in the wolf, and there is the wolf in the human. Human beings have become "wolves" advocating the law of the jungle, which is the law of the jungle. Driven by this corrupt human nature, "human" is the victim of the struggle of wolf nature.
