Anno Hideaki this ruffian

I didn't have the chance to go to the cinema to see the scene, I waited a year to see it. For the children's shoes who doubted the weight of this theatrical version before, you can rest assured, because compared with the first sequence, this theatrical version is almost completely remade, and the plot is almost disrupted and rearranged, another story. However, if there is no foreshadowing of the TV version, I believe that most viewers may feel that there is a bit of a taste that they do not know what they are talking about.
If you think about it differently, you might as well think of it as a commercial blockbuster in the general sense, with a more independent story structure and contradictions, and a more complete succession and transformation. And the film actually strongly hints at the emotional line before the three drivers, and I have to sigh, Anno, when did you become so mainstream. The atmosphere of the whole film is moving closer to the atmosphere of a Hollywood blockbuster. I don't know if the producers have requested it. This is a digression.
Talking about the last climax scene, I can't help feeling a lot of emotion when the words about eating the apostles were put on the big screen more than ten years later. The background sound of the first machine runaway is still the original song. Although I don’t know the name, I can feel it strongly. This time, the BGM producer did not habitually go to REMIX or call a symphony band to re-score the music. , on the contrary, the soundtrack that EVA will inevitably remember when standing in the sea of ​​​​blood is unchanged. While the blood is boiling, what a joy to congratulate these old fans. It seems that the feeling of the past has resurfaced in front of my eyes again. I'm sorry that I can't describe the feeling when I heard this BGM. I think this is the way to restore EVA to its most primitive form. What really attracts our attention and box office is the EVA itself in childhood, not the various derivatives after the 21st century.
However, it has changed a lot. In the current version, the first machine goes berserk in order to rescue Ayanami Rei. There are still many such plots, such as the dialogue between Nika and Shinji on the tatami, and the rotten ones used in ordinary Japanese films. The bento section, really, all kinds of embarrassment.
Well, in general, it proves that the new theatrical version is really not the fried rice as rumored. It seems that the group of Anno really intends to make a different thing. It's like seeing a parallel world, but if the success of the new thing is attached to the aura of the old work, it will be a bit boring. Whether it can surpass the previous work, I began to wait for the third theatrical version with such doubts.
