In 2000, when I was a primary school student, I watched Tianying Warrior, and I watched it with the same emotion as watching a bloody bump. Forgive my IQ experience at that time, I really don't understand the complicated meaning behind it (not to mention I watch it Eagle Warrior = =).
In 2007, I was in high school, and my friend told me that EVA was going to release a new theatrical version. I searched in my head for a long time, have I seen this? I went home and watched the Japanese version of Neon Genesis Evangelion, and I can be sure that it should be its fanboy ᖛ ̫ ᖛ when I was a child. Closer to home, director Anno was at a low point in his life during the production of the TV version, and he may need some psychological treatment, otherwise he would not have made such a negative character (mental health is negative). . But this does not affect its success, because in the 1990s Japanese society was not the only one who was repressed, so it resonated and even became a social phenomenon.
The old century version is a journey of Shinji Ikari in the spiritual world he built. The audience will watch the stories played out in his subconscious, and they will also self-dissect because they are more or less similar to him. Now I'm glad I didn't see its true face when I was a child, because it really wasn't for children.
The "reset" of the new theatrical version, the concealment and reduction of obscure plots, the change of characters, and the high-level production make it win a wider audience. In this regard, old fans have mixed reviews, but I am very happy for an atypical fan with a low IQ. Who doesn't like a classic story that is reproduced with excellent pictures? Even the old wine in the new bottle, I recognize it (Xu and Po can really burn, everyone followed Xiao Ikari for a blood). But the release of Q really woke me up - how could the cunning and cunning Anno renovate the castle to welcome new guests? Now, it's time to change houses."
1. Is Q a failure?
I saw a lot of critical comments, with passionate words (sweat), thinking that this is not EVA, in fact, I have never understood what EVA they are talking about?
Perhaps a resonant book of psychic anatomy for those who hold old editions as a guide? As great as the Bible is for the salvation of Christians? Anno said that it was positioned as an entertainment film, but the fact is that it has become the spiritual opium of many people, and many people still have difficulty getting out of its influence. Thought is the most precious thing that human beings have, and its influence is definitely beyond biochemical weapons. If you don’t believe it, look at the appeal of the world’s major religions and countless cult organizations (it can be seen that you have the potential to run a cult = =) . In the old century, Shinji arbitrarily destroyed the world, but the real world is not destroyed if you want to. If you can't change it, you can change yourself to adapt to it. Besides, who can accept that desolate world? I am afraid that everyone will choose to start all over again like Shinji. Those who understood Anno's intentions 14 years ago would have given up early, but there are still many people who have been greatly stimulated, and 14 years later, they still maintain the same heart as Oikari. For this part of the fanatical fans, Anno's forcible withdrawal from them is a Q that completely subverts the original eva worldview. I think I was able to watch Q calmly and accept the drastic changes in the animation, just because I wasn't as addicted as they were. I still don't have their many years of experience in the world and the riddled thoughts that have been eroded by the real society. Their implied meaning and empathy for the old drama are not comparable to me. It is like the difference between the mood of a teenager and a middle-aged person reading a book, except that this is not a book but a cartoon.
So why are there many housekeepers who think it is not tasteful enough to be angry, because it is commercialized? Fighting isn't cool enough? Without Li Xiang's killing, he will die? Don't have a lot of materials that need to be verified in the past? Strictly speaking, I'm really not a qualified eva fan, because I'm a girl, so I'm not crazy about Lixiang; because I'm a liberal arts student, I can't understand a lot of mechanical operations and mecha fighting scenes; Because of the lack of IQ, I couldn't cite the classics to test it, but this did not prevent me from watching this well-made cartoon. For laymen watching the excitement, I think the battle scenes in Q are far longer than the first two films. The production team definitely spent a lot of energy, even if it is commercialized, it is also hard work. There is really no need to interpret a cartoon as a philosophy book, what is less is more than fun? Isn't Anno clamoring to make entertainment films that the public can understand? However, the research party is really powerful. Every time I see a new explanation, I also feel that I have benefited a lot. As for the mystery, I think it's only a lot more than the old work, and it's still in the fog. Of course, we still have to think deeply about the connotation given by Director Anno to the film, otherwise, it is just like watching soap operas just to pass the time.
The blood-red sandy surface on the barren planet, the corresponding blue sky with flowing white clouds, the lush young yellow flowers and green grass in the waste steel plate, the new green trees beside the black and bright piano, two teenagers playing in the wind , watching and listening, it seems that the mood is also brightly slid to the sky with the music of the two of them. The style in Q has been greatly changed from the previous two films. The picture is as clean as clear spring water, which further contrasts the depressing and abandoned world after nearly three rushes. It seems that this moment of tranquility is also shattered at a touch. Before watching it, I heard that the characters are out of shape, but after watching it, I feel that the director of Honda Xiong definitely belongs to the small fresh painting school, haha, which is in line with the artistic conception of Anno's film.
2. Shinji's cowardice
Many colleagues and seniors have explained this issue, and I will make a long story short. Ikari Shinji is not a heroic protagonist in the traditional sense, breaking the law of heroism of comic protagonists, which also caused him to be crowned the most cowardly protagonist in history. He is really wronged. What Anno created is just to concentrate and magnify the shortcomings of people. It represents the hidden side of us - cowardice, escapism, shirk responsibility, and ego. Many colleagues who study psychology have also discussed a lot of mental illnesses of him, Misato, and Asuka. As a non-professional, I don’t talk nonsense. I think it’s better to hate these negative characters than to hate Shinji. But the problem is, in the two-dimensional world where people can endure Gao Daquan and everyone loves Gao Fushuai, Anno insists on putting him in, so it's a tragedy for you, Shinji, a junior high school student. The self-substitution of the hero and protagonist in the second dimension will make you heartily excited, because you are the king of this virtual world. But Anno tells you realistically that even in the second dimension, you are just like Shinji. After driving eva to take a step, he thought he had successfully rescued Ayanami, but in fact it triggered nearly three rushes. It can be seen how annoying Anno is, and anyone who escapes into the second dimension will be whipped.
Because normal people will not face the great changes in the world without changing their color when Mount Tai collapses in front of them, nor will they immediately drive a machine to fight monsters, so when watching this animation called eva, it is better to understand a little Shinji realistically, after all, Anno It is a big arrogant who uses surreal methods to show reality.
3. Can time be reversible
and those who cannot be chased cannot be chased? How can time be reversed? Fuyutsuki took the opportunity of playing shogi with Shinji to reveal some truth, and also mentioned him to some extent, "Like time, the world is irreversible, and people's hearts remain, but your father even sold his own soul in order to realize his wish. ..." But the child who was struck dumb didn't hear anything. If a more mature person could remember these hints, he would be vigilant in discovering problems when Nagisa proposed to restore the world, and Nagisa would not have been designed by his old man to blow himself up. Of course, this is only if, because Shinji is still that 14-year-old kid, Can't listen to other people's words or say that they can't calm down and seriously think about the deep meaning of other people's words. Evading in the face of real blows, delusional attempts to correct past mistakes but making mistakes again and again, isn’t it the predicament that ordinary people face. Time is irreversible, and mistakes can't be corrected. It's not like in the old drama he found that the barren world was not beautiful and he could overturn everything and start over.
4. The meaning
of Xun Nagisa Kaoru in the old drama is like a collection of famous sayings who can walk around, a strange boy. Of course, his death was like an angel in the traditional sense, giving up the chance of life to human beings, rather than the rivalry between the apostles and human beings.
The preview of the new drama before it was released made his popularity skyrocket, which is really a broken sleeve.
Compared with the non-human atmosphere in the old drama, with the divinity of compassion and love, in Q, he is more like a friend who trusts and only considers Shinji, comforting and persuading him softly, helping him out of pain and offering to recover. world. The existence of Zhu Xun is like a ray of light in the abyss, giving the teenager who is at a loss in the face of great changes a careful audience and guide. But the fact is that he was designed by Li Lin again. In the Li Lin play here, it is Lao Ikari, and outside the play is An Ye. Old Ikari wants to get rid of the stumbling block of Seele's boy, Anno tells everyone the no way to restore the world.
When I saw many gays and lesbians calling out, some people were joking with good intentions, and many were gnashing their teeth in resentment, and some of the comments were harsh. Actually, I'm very curious, did Nagisa Xun make any outrageous actions? Sure enough, there is a base in the heart, and everything is a base. This kind of person should go to see a real gay movie and then say whether Kaoru shot Shinji. As for saying that Anno is courting rotten women, I think that for more than ten years, they have been selling peripheral products of the goddess and Asuka, and there are also many games that kill you. Is it only allowed for state officials to set fires and not allow people to light lamps?
In Q, Shinji asked suspiciously: "How can I play it well?
Nagisa Kaoru said: "There is no need to deliberately play it well. Just play the notes that make you feel good. "
Shinji insisted: "Then I want to make a better voice, what should I do?" "
Zhu Xun said:" Repeated practice, repeating the same thing over and over again, until you recognize it. "
If you made a mistake this time, you may not be able to do it all over again, so keep a persistent heart, try again and again, and one day you will succeed and satisfy yourself. This time, Shinji, who was not happy this time, is in an unknown new theatrical version. How will it end? (Am I advertising?)
After watching Q, I feel that Anno has undergone another major reversal, just like the impact of eoe 14 years ago, the continuous strength is, no matter what, I am looking forward to the "true" that I don't know whether it is the end or the reincarnation.
PS gave four stars because the star fell directly on someone's face. I wrote Zhu Xun to death again, so you, Anno!
