Ninja Naruto" has accumulated a lot of popularity in the early days as a young enthusiastic anime. Although it was suspected of being unfinished in the later stage, the latest theatrical version of "Boren Biography" has ignited the audience's passion for decades. But we should also see that the story of this next generation is not the same as it was back then. More than ten years ago, like Naruto, you were still a hairy boy who had a crush on Banhua. Now he has really become a Naruto and has a happy family, and you are still single. This is probably why more people like to watch Conan.
In fact, the bigger change is that the background of the whole era has changed. Technology has been integrated into the world of ninjas. Konoha Maru, who has grown from a snot boy to a handsome boy, is Boren's teacher. When he uses the shadow of the Nara family to imitate During the surgery, everyone was stunned inside and outside the play. The setting of ninjutsu in Naruto is divided into a series of grades: S, A, B, C, D, E. There is a strict hierarchy from top to bottom, which has been introduced in "Book of Ninja", such as E Rank is ninja school rank, D rank is lower ninja and so on. In addition, similar bloodline boundaries, esoteric traditions, fairy arts, psychics, etc. can only be learned by coincidence, especially bloodline boundaries can only be inherited by blood (of course, it is not strict, for example, Kakashi got Obito Therefore, Kakashi's skill level is unlikely to be too high).
We all know that many Japanese animations have their own story blueprints. For example, "Saint Seiya" draws on the myths of ancient Greece, ancient Rome and other places. Democritus inherited and carried forward Leuciper's atomic theory, explained the formation of the universe and the motion of matter, and was probably the first Greek scholar to apply the microcosm to man. Man and the universe are composed of the same atoms and follow the same Law, man is the epitome of the universe, which explains how life is born in mechanical motion. This is also the ideological basis of "burn my small universe" in the comics. Huo Lei and everything are added, and the origin of ideas becomes weird. "Naruto" is deeply influenced by Chinese traditional culture, and Japanese ninjutsu in reality is inextricably linked with China. Whether it is Japanese samurai ninja or Chinese martial arts, its origins all come from the three religions and nine streams of folk. It is closely related to the ranks and sects, and follows the tradition of craftsmen. The craftsman tradition is very closed. We often see in TV dramas the rules of art processing, such as passing the male and not the female, the long but not the young, and the descendant is not considered a concubine. These are also somewhat reflected in Hokage. For example, the extremely popular Neji Hyuga is the son of the family.
When Konoha Maru used the ninjutsu that only the Nara clan could use, it meant that this society based on traditional blood and family might be in danger of disintegrating. Think about the high-level ninjutsu that can be used by the lower ninjas, and how much the commoners can use the bloodline boundaries that only a few families can have on this society. In the real world, when we look back at the origin of modern science, it is not Newton's gravitation that broke the boundary between Aristotle's upper and lower lunar regions, not only all celestial bodies must follow the same rules, but even nobles and commoners. , which also became an ideological thread of the later Enlightenment.
Therefore, in the film, this branch line has indeed become one of the conditions for the reversal of the film. In the film, the Frankenstein of the technology ninja group started trading on bloggers in order to realize his ideal. Of course, the use of this type of ninja equipment is prohibited in the Chunin exam, and the blogger should be expelled for not following the rules. But we think carefully, can ninjutsu really coexist with science?
When it comes to the scientists in Naruto, everyone must first think of Orochimaru and Yakushi Dou. To a certain extent, Doudou is a replica of Orochimaru. What did Orochimaru do? The first was to break the taboo and study the banned book, and he was regarded as a traitor. The second was to do a lot of experiments, especially human experiments. In one episode, he even said that he was an expert who had consulted a lot of literature. The third is to pursue the improvement of ninjutsu and the longevity of the human body. The first two of these three points are absolutely not allowed in the setting of Hokage. The taboo of a family or tribe is not allowed to be broken, except for the so-called higher-level goals such as protecting the entire village, which is why in the beginning Naruto was not punished for learning multiple shadows. And human experiments involve the honor of individuals and groups. My son was arrested by you to do the experiment. What is the face of the family, not to mention that life itself is very precious. In modern society, we can also think about the following two questions: whether scientific research should set up a restricted area, and how to divide the ethical and moral boundaries between human experiments and animal experiments.
But this is not the main reason why Orochimaru was rejected by everyone. You see, Naruto later passed the shadow clone to Konoha Maru, because he is the grandson of the third generation, he can practice forbidden techniques, and there is nothing to do human experiments. Relationship, as long as the background is strong and the purpose is justice, you can see that Minato also uses his own children to do experiments and lock the nine tails in his body.
The reason why Orochimaru is not accepted by everyone is that he seeks longevity and reincarnation, and is constantly transforming his body. In the easter egg of the theatrical version, Orochimaru's son and Sarana are a group of Boren. The three parents are actually different in seniority, but they are actually the same age. When March asked him if he could accept his father, Sarana expressed was very surprised, and the blogger asked whether Orochimaru was your father or your mother. There is more embarrassment and bitterness behind the laugh, and Orochimaru is indeed regarded as a freak. Its essence is the collision between the traditional eastern culture's body view and the western body view. Let's make an analogy. In Hokage, Xiao Li has been learning physical art all the time. Normal body; Kakashi can also accept Obito eyes. In reality, we can wear glasses for myopic eyes, do vision correction, and generally accept appropriate makeup, but it always feels strange to say nothing about cosmetic surgery, and there is a strong resistance to genetic engineering. .
The concept of the body in ancient China and the ancient West was different. Some people simplified it as "I have a body" in the West and "I am the body" in China. Westerners pay attention to the dualism of mind and body. Sometimes they feel that the body hinders the pursuit of truth, and sometimes they think that the body embodies the beauty of the mind. In China, although there is a saying of self-cultivation and self-cultivation, the body and sex are actually equivalent, and their essence is still the heart. Therefore, in ancient Chinese paintings and medicine, it is difficult to see muscles and bones, turning a blind eye to the body (accurately). It is said to be hidden) not only affects the aesthetics but also affects the medicine.
After the Han Dynasty, ancient Chinese medicine was combined with the political concept of the unity of nature and man, and the concept of nature. It can be said that how to regulate the body is how to look at nature and society. You don’t need to know too much about Chinese medicine. In fact, many Chinese people still believe that medicine is three-fold poison. Doctors also believe that the way of nature should not be interrupted by human beings, and should follow the natural way of Dao or Qi. This is also one of the reasons why Chinese people are still relatively perfunctory about physical examinations in the early years. They have blind confidence in themselves and blind fear of diseases, but they actually have a kind of hostility towards foreign objects and intrusions towards doctors. Only Ask for help when you feel like you can't. This subconscious cultural remnant has become one of the secondary reasons for the tension between doctors and patients today.
This relationship in reality is reflected in different manifestations in animation. The bronze warriors must be defeated first. This is certainly a necessary reversal of the youthful blood animation, and it also implies that they are free from the limitations of the physical body and reach the cosmic relationship with the universe. resonance. The existence of ninjas and samurai in Naruto has more or less the traditional concept of the Chinese cultural circle that cannot be avoided in East Asia, which determines that when Orochimaru intends to use genetic engineering or other technologies to transform himself, he must be out of touch with the traditional ninja society. It is completely contrary to Kai's physique of the unity of nature and man.
It can be said that Orochimaru is not only a scientist but also a science madman, and he cannot enjoy special powers to clean up for him just because he pursues "science". Besides, all the civil sciences feel that what they are pursuing is a scientific dream, and they can do it. Science news. Whether the purpose of science is science itself, or just as the current academic circles reflect on this, the purpose of science should still return to people themselves, which is what the film brings to us.
As many viewers complained, Naruto is less and less like a hot-blooded comic and more like a daddy comic. For example, Boren's master is Konoha Maru, the grandson of three generations of Hokage, and Konoha Maru's teacher is Boren's father, seven Naruto Naruto, Naruto's father is the fourth Naruto Minato, and his master is one of the six Naruto Kakashi and Sannin, Jiraiya. Although Naruto's son Boruto didn't want to be Hokage, Sasuke's daughter Sarana really wanted to. I want to be the man of Hokage" does indeed have a richer connotation. Even in the sideshow "Book of Being", Boren's sister Xiaokui opened her eyes because Boren broke the toy, and Naruto couldn't move for a day, so he had to ask Konoha Maru to participate in the inauguration ceremony of the seventh generation for him. This kind of skill that others can never reach can of course be said to have inherited Kushina's runaway and Hinata's blood following the boundaries. It can also explain that Naruto liked Sakura because of Oedipal complex, but it made ordinary people discouraged.
This traditional blood family society is the background of the era of ninjutsu. We can even imagine that the children of Boruto and Sarana will not only become Hokage, but also inherit the excellent genes of Naruto and Sasuke. A powerful ninja, (for example, Boruto learns Spiral Maru much faster than Naruto, this is the hybrid advantage :-D) This is the inevitable outcome of traditional society. It's just that this modification of the body is more like "hybrid rice", why can't "transgenic" be used?
There is not enough space in the Naruto theatrical version to expand this issue, and the only signs seem to be covered up under the political correctness that bloggers understand that honesty and their own efforts are more important. A person who is taller, richer and handsomer than you and has more superior genes has been labeled like this, and he still refuses to give up. How can ordinary people live. But we should still think about it, why is it natural to inherit the genes of the parents and use "technology as an extension of the body"? Why is it natural to use ninja tools such as shuriken, but not so natural to use guns and high-tech weapons that incorporate ninjutsu? In contrast, in "Dragon Ball", there is a lot of space to describe that Wukong, who uses "qi" as the basis of martial arts, can still fight three hundred rounds of alien robots. In American comics, there can be superheroes like Batman and Iron Man, who have great bodies but basically rely on equipment, but they are rarely seen in traditional oriental culture, so it is not difficult to understand when Batman vs. The audience will be more suspicious, because we generally feel that what is outside is not our own body.
As modernity reveals, the body itself is not neutral, it is not only the body of the individual, but also the symbol of socialization, the embodiment of political consciousness. So in the film, when Kai was pushed out in a wheelchair, I was most moved. Kai and his classmates, Xiao Li, Ningci, and Tian Tian are the most traditional images, but they are also the most diligent and serious ones. Their efforts But in the end, it became a bright shirt of fire and wore it on others. This is the biggest mockery of traditional society for people and people's bodies. And Gaara represents another dimension of thinking. The tailed beast's withdrawal from his body not only did not break him, but gave him a new life.
No matter how the region or time changes, people always want the body to be healthy, no matter how the definition of health is constructed. Modern science is still faced with this problem. This problem is inevitable along with the evolution of species. However, if this problem is not handled properly, it will lead to tragedies such as the comic "Cosmetic Fluid". When people use modern science and technology to transform their bodies (and the world), they must be aware of what tools they use mean choosing how to transform their bodies (and the world). And the thinking of tradition and scientific modernity will also continue. As mentioned in the film, there are not only chakras on earth, but also in the universe. In the process of exploring the universe, what kind of new world will Boren bring us? We will wait and see!
