Evangelion New Theatrical Edition: Broken - it's only love

Maxwell 2022-11-23 05:00:59

Waited 15 years for a hug, but what about a hug? Happiness is fleeting, and this embrace is the beginning of the end.

The dazzling apostle destroys everything in the most splendid way, how much like love, but the most tearing pain is written in the most beautiful festive music. Asuka's death is in suspense. The fiery red-haired girl's eyes changed to blue, which told the audience more clearly about her melancholy. Enthusiasm is just to cover up her loneliness. It's just that when she tried to accept everything around her, tried to integrate into everything around her, and she was happy and relaxed because of her talk, she was quietly occupied by the apostles. That moment was so cruel, but at that moment she had fiery red wings, she fell into love and warmth, and she ran towards death.

Ayanami rushed to the apostle unprepared. At this moment, all the bases and the world were left behind. All she expected was that he could live a safe life whether he was a driver or not. I want to die like her without hesitation. Evangelion couldn't escape a word of love after all.

What they want to save is a real world, they think love can save everything, but for this real world, how ironic all this is. In the face of career, money, sex and a stable life, how many people really care about love. Those who do not cherish love will eventually be abandoned by love. This is the counterattack of the apostles.

They all want Shinji to be happy, I can't guess the director, just like I can't guess my own mood. I don't know what the next episode will be for several years, I don't know where the screenwriter will lead this story in the next episode, and will their emotions belong in the next episode?

After 15 years of waiting, they finally hugged each other tightly at that moment, but is this hug really warm. It doesn't matter, even if this is the embrace of the end, the embrace of destruction, let's embrace it even more tightly.

At this moment, hugging is more moving than loneliness.

  • Unit-01 Dummy Plug System: [during start-up, in reverse] Freedom is an illusion. All you will lose is the emotion of pride. To be dominated by me is not as bad for human pride as to be dominated by others of your species.
