1. The great thing about Giant is that the ending is decided from the beginning, not halfway through. The author can maintain the logic of the development of the plot during the 11-year creation, interspersed with a lot of foreshadowing and recycling. It is a pity that the reason why it was opposed by a large number of readers in the end is also because it was destined to end like this at the beginning.

2. It is very in line with the creation of Japanese people. After reading it, I only sighed "As expected of you, Japanese". Such a depressing social atmosphere in Japan has caused many people to be deeply saddened. The Japanese love to embody this sense of contradiction. They like to see reality in a very flamboyant and fantasy, and hope in despair. The process is always more important than the result. A tragedy, etc., this kind of tearing feeling is more likely to become an m physique.

3. The nihilistic feeling of being a loser after a war is very real. From a certain point of view, it is a good thing for the giant to be "unfinished", because it can make us sober. Does it mean that you have believed in Allen, that you have fallen into the trap of militarism? If it weren't for such a tiresome ending, how many people would have woken up from their blood. (Refer to Milgren's Obedience Experiment)

4. What Lao Gao and Xiao Mo said, once a person has the ability to dominate others, he will intervene in others. Once a person has the ability to control the world, he will decide the fate of the world, without this melancholy you will not go Think about why the meaning of war will be "stale" in the end.
