Reality is a cold iron cage, and we try to break free with delusions.

Eyeballs rolled, looking at the world coldly.
The world is filthy, and Malome is pure and beautiful.
People love it like crazy and long to have it. It seems that with that little pink thing, you can forget your worries.
It's like a god.
Malome disappeared, and the shop windows were smashed to smithereens. The hideous face reflected on the broken glass.
The filth returned to the body, and he couldn't get rid of it.

Gold bat, gold pulley, red baseball cap, ugly smile.
He is everywhere, and he grins in everyone's heart. It seems that smiling and laughing can relieve you from troubles.
She didn't want to be reprimanded by her father.
He doesn't want to spend more money.
He doesn't want to be surpassed by others.
She doesn't want to repeat her divided life.
She didn't want to see her disgusting father again.
He wants to be a holy warrior.
They want to die.
She wanted to be part of everyone's conversation.
He wants to prove his strength.
He wants to go back in time.

Humans

are inherently creatures that seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and escaping seems to be an instinct.
We love Malome because we want to cover the oppressive darkness of life with pure beauty. We want junior bat to show up because we're looking for excuses to escape the burdens of life. Malome is the teenage bat we use to escape the ugliness of reality, our twisted delusions trying to find a way out of reality. There is no way out, so create it yourself.

Jin Min can always accurately capture the incompleteness of human nature, freeze and zoom in, accompanied by the poppy-like music of Hiraizawa Jin suddenly appearing in front of him, his throat seems to be strangled, and he can hardly breathe. And this incompleteness is an iron cage that can't be broken free, and it is attached to everyone's body. The ending seems a little corny, the evil is defeated, the story is repeated, and the history is always so similar. Because Jin Min couldn't find a way out either.

The deepest impression was the three happy souls.
This is the only really bright color in the whole film, I think Jin Min may be trying to give us a beam of light outside the cave.

"I want to go far, far, far."
"Then go, far, far. Take the tram."

    Looking at it, it is indescribable; thinking about it, it is unfathomable. Deconstructing reality with surrealism and warning society with anti-social. Wandering between the real and the illusory, it accurately analyzes the morbid spiritual world of the people of the present (city) generation (city). Beautiful dreams and nightmares are two sides of the heart and the devil. Ma Lumei and the baseball boy are their own representations. One is paralyzed and the other is withdrawn. After the dust settles, everything starts over and over again.

    Three and a half. The first six episodes were flying high, and the ending was unstoppable. What makes people eye-catching is that the "interval" between this episode and the episode is not conventionally regarded as a time gap that the audience can pretend to ignore, but is subtly used by the crew into the narrative. For example, when the teacher and prostitute was finally overwhelmed by the hallucinatory magic at the end of the third episode because she couldn't tell the identity of the two ("Beauty in Daylight" plus "Blue Fear"?), the same opening scene in the fourth episode. The space presented in front of the witnesses is only a wretched girl with a face full of clown makeup lying down on the road. The abrupt feeling of the garden-like dream effectively reminds the audience of the gap between the situation and the situation. It is used in the inherently fragmented form of TV animation. It's even more natural.
