(1) Her

first spacecraft Corona received a distress signal during the return trip. Two astronauts, Heinz and Miguel, were ordered to investigate the location where the signal was sent. The older and more experienced Heinz was on the Corona. After the leader confirmed his identity and performed his mission in front of the camera, his partner disarmed the outdated security system and entered together to find the source of the distress signal.

Inside, there is a strange place, and the vast area makes the rescuers a little unsure where to start; the bright red retro court dress, the huge oil painting portrait of the black-haired beauty Eva Friedel sitting upright and elegant hangs in the hall; decoration, costumes , The nostalgic atmosphere returns to the opera era that seems to be all the rage, and it is completely different from the space suits the two wear.

The soprano sings the aria of the famous opera Madame Butterfly by Italian composer Puccini. The singing is poignant and moving. Miguel, who often brings pictures of beautiful women with her, follows the melody and gets lost in it...

It can be sweet, it can be painful, Everything can't be taken away, only the industry can carry it with you. Eva has been admired by thousands of people in the past, won numerous awards, and wore endless gorgeous costumes. She was brilliant on the stage, and the warm applause of the audience was the greatest praise for her artistic achievements, applause Afterwards, a woman's greatest wish is to find the destination of her life-long love. If she can't keep it, she can only hold the beauty back to 100,000,000, and the promise of nostalgia for the glory of the past and her lover will always be in her mind. No one can take it away. As long as the memory exists, the year is stored. Can be like the dark universe, forever and ever.

Heinz returned to the warm and pleasant family, and the daughter with the space suit ran happily, shouting that the dream of father taking the space, even if he had breakfast with his parents, he had to hold the new space suit tightly, and he was reluctant to take it off; read Newspaper, the father who tasted freshly brewed coffee was shocked to realize that the flowers in the vase on the dining table changed in an eerie shape and color in a blink of an eye. There was no end to the return, and the dream was uneasy. The photo of the three of them was a beacon that brought Heinz back to the sad reality. , he understands that what has passed cannot be resurrected, the bullets that cut off the endless nightmare are roaring and shooting, the grief of the past and the stubborn resentment brainwaves are all transformed into broken images that dissipate.

The climax of the aria swept up a storm, and the sad song of missing my lover lingered in my heart. At this time, my eyes were hot, and my blurred vision vaguely saw the rotten human figure replying to the audience in golden clothes. Eva came to an end surrounded by applause, resurrected again, and lover In the season when the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the roses are in full bloom.

At the end of the song, the people dispersed, and the extremely strong sense of persistence used the pink petals floating in space to publicize the resentment that did not want to be eliminated, and blew the obsession floating in the oxygen mask.

(2) The Stink Bomb

Nobuyuki Tanaka's appearance is not a typical Japanese painter's beautified shape: bright and big eyes occupy 3 parts of the face volume2; hair dyed green, gold, red, purple, blue super Reality, he's just an ordinary guy who passes by you and you don't pay special attention to him.

Tanaka, who was infected with the cold virus, went back to work at the Experimental Research Institute as usual. A kind colleague told him to take the blue glass bottle pill with the sample printed on it in the director's office. He had a seizure, and Tanaka took a night's rest. Change…

The story is brought out in an easy way. Tanaka has an important mission, which is to bring the director's experimental data about biological and chemical weapons to the top leader of the Tokyo's biological and chemical weapons department. He was afraid of sudden changes in the environment, and he performed his tasks tremblingly. The yellow gas was always lingering, strange sights appeared, there were few people, and plants grew abnormally. The public nuisance has become a panic in Japan. The military and politicians have used all their planes, cannons, missiles and rockets to clean up the mess. The self-proclaimed world military power and the righteous great United States have a ghost idea to capture biological and chemical weapons and return to China. Laziness is a hard-earned research by the Japanese Taking the results as one's own, this is the double standard that dropped the atomic bomb to end World War II and help Japan rebuild: what is the difference between the demon and savior who slaughtered life and the red-hued and green-eyed thief who bullied the weak

? When the disaster passed, the unexpected ending, which was smashed into the palm of the hand, was a great ridicule for Japan and the United States, which were both enemies and allies with complex relations.

(3) The Street of Cannons (Canon Fodder)

The Street of Cannons is the shortest in the "Memories" trilogy, but the style of the pictures is different from the realistic orientation of the first two. The unique art of hand-drawn animation is different from the pure program calculation that is currently dominated by computer animation.
My parents work in a factory in Cannon Street: my father is in charge of frontline support, my mother is in charge of logistics, and my son is in school

. The national symbol that mother serves every day; the son's teaching is to calculate the range of cannons; the rise and fall of the country is determined by firing artillery shells on that day and successfully destroying the enemy's area, graffiti and propaganda leaflets against toxic gases are not the head of state. I'll take care of it. When the family's food and clothing depend on the iron cannons, the poisonous gas and the living and working environment with poor air quality must be fully accepted.

The son salutes the tall, mighty, muscular marshal every morning. He hopes that when he grows up, it is not his father's job to load ammunition, but his goal is more ambitious. He hopes to be the standard-bearer for firing cannonballs, even if he hears his father, "You will know when you grow up." Accept the after-dinner words of reality.
