For those who don't like it, this anime of Monster doesn't have cool fights, gorgeous style of painting, breast-boosting royal sisters and cute girls, but for those who are willing to understand and appreciate it, this is a masterpiece!
A gentle story
I personally don't think this is a thriller. On the contrary, the monster tells a very gentle story.
Although the color of the picture is not bright, it does not deliberately render a depressing atmosphere. The author's skills are profound. Although he will also use the shadows and camera angles to create suspense and make people's appetites, the story progresses layer by layer, and the veil of John is revealed step by step, which makes people excited and can't stop!
There are many characters in the whole story, and basically every character can mention John's bit. Even the most villainous people in the story show kindness and tenderness. Babies will be soft-hearted about a woman who works illegally; Robert loves Monday's cocoa and can't bear to hurt insects; Franz Bonaparte, the original creator of the monster, will also say to Nina: "You are the most beautiful in the world. The gem." So, "Monster" is actually a gentle story
Pegasus vs John
Pegasus is a human good, and John is an inhuman evil.
This person Tianma has the most vulgar characteristics of Su Ma Li in the animation industry - "you have to live", "I will save you", "don't give up until the end", Tianma is simply the lines of these passionate anime protagonists. Came here again and again. He is also a human being, and he has advanced step by step from the anime. In Tianma, his head is getting longer and longer, his back is getting more and more hunched, and his expression is haggard to the point of death.
Tianma is kind. Ten years ago, Tianma insisted on saving John and found himself. Following John's actions, Tianma began to doubt his moral values as a doctor. Ten years later, when Tianma stood on the operating table for John again , he once again firmly believed that "life is equal".
John, with delicate features and pale complexion, is eye-catching as a man and charming as a woman (a few streets away from his sister)! When I tried to dissect John, it was like punching cotton. Anime characters often have a point from which they contradict, suffer, or burst into power, and John doesn't, in other words - John doesn't have a personality, and he can't even be called a human being. "Monster without a name", "Man can be anything". In the anime John is an alien, an older brother, a blond beauty, a handsome young man, a monster...he can be anything.
"Name" can be understood as self, human dignity and so on. With a name, John is John, it can't be Thomas, John has John's life, friends, and meaning to be alive, all unique.
"Monster", "Last Landscape", "Absolute Evil". Everyone has evil, but the meaning of these three words is like the gate of truth in "Steel", very abstract, I can't imagine what the scenery without a name should be like. Undoubtedly, it is these landscapes that shape the horror of John, who can give people a glimpse of the evil landscape, and make people unable to reject such evil.
All those who are kind to John will not end well, Pegasus is special, so everyone else is dessert, Pegasus is the big meal. John is the most ruthless towards Tianma. What he wants Tianma to see is the end of the scenery, and finally become a person like him. Tianma has been chasing, chasing is John, but also his own beliefs. By the way, the opening and ending songs of this anime are super interesting.
Nina vs
John John brought into Nina's memories and feelings, but in Nina's remarks, the only thing missing is "you are all the most beautiful and precious". John's memories of the Rose House are all malicious, and no one can affirm him, so John is a monster, but Nina is not.
We can guess like this, John was immersed in Nina's description, and he fell in; and the young Nina, with the kindness and hints of Franz Bonaparte, escaped. One remembered the rose house, the other forgot, and finally they replaced the memory.
Ten years ago, Nina's words "I forgive you" could have saved John; but unfortunately, Nina couldn't bear John's evil ten years ago, so she could only pull the board. Ten years later, Nina remembered everything, had friends around her, had happy memories, and was able to forgive John, but it was too late. Rather than forgive, it's more about accepting, understanding, and loving such a John.
He is her, she is him, and there are only two of them in the world.
In terms of John
's theme, this anime is called "Monster", and in terms of content, it can be called "Finding John".
Almost everyone can reflect a part of John.
John made two changes in the story, the first time he fainted while watching "The Monster Without a Name", and when he woke up he decided to look into his past. The second time is when Nina says she, not him, was taken to the Rose House, and John decides to drop the game of politics and go for a complete suicide. Yes, even the experience is Nina's, and he became a monster instead of Nina. This should be Nina, not himself, and even the monster should not be himself, so what is John, and does it exist? , John is meaningless, in that case, let John really disappear, just as he never existed.
The finale
shows the twin mother's appearance in the final episode, showing the love and malice of one mother, giving John the original name.
At the end, Tianma had a malicious hallucination. The anime mentioned Tianma's family many times, which also implied the family's indifference (at the beginning of the engagement with Ava, Tianma said that his parents could not come; Tianma was wanted and arrested, and his family did not have any appeared; Tianma has not returned to Japan for more than ten years in Germany, etc.). Therefore, we can actually guess that this hallucination is Tianma's own knot, not John's. After all, the children from the 511 family have no emotions, not to mention John, so it is impossible for John to resent his mother for this.
In the end, the animation was frozen in the empty ward, and John left. I have to say that although this open ending is old-fashioned, it is really the best ending. I believe that John has his own life in a certain corner. After all, the scenery when the breeze blows the white curtains is peaceful. After all, John knows his name, which contains the love of his mother.
