On immortality

Butterflies flew in front of them, their wings drawn in wonderful arcs. Life, but so be it. 1. Encounter recently, revisited Vampire Hunter D. Personally, it's an anime with a lot of meaning. It can be said that it has left traces on the most important growth points of my childhood and youth. It's not a big deal, but it's enough for me to remember it clearly. It's like a thin thread tied to my heart, pulling me from time to time to move my heart. First time seeing it, 4th grade. After one math Olympiad class every week, my mother, aunt, and cousin would eat nearby. Or crossing the bridge, or Minoan pizza. Mino's restaurant is very clean and beautiful, and also has a lounge, and there is always a movie or two on the LCD TV on the wall. It was in such a small lounge that I saw him for the first time. It was a wonderful encounter. Thinking about it now, if that day, I was very hungry, didn't go to the lounge and kept sitting at the table eating pizza, or we went to the bridge that day, or we didn't go to eat at all that day. . . If that's the case, maybe, I'll never come across D in my life. My outlook on life will change accordingly. In short, it has played a role in my growth. The first time I watched it, the most regrettable thing was that I didn't finish it (because I was in the restaurant, the main task was to eat), I didn't see the last tear-jerking scene, and I didn't see the magnificent two mountains. The first time I met, I was afraid of your jokes. My most obvious feeling was: D is so handsome. refreshed my aesthetic. After all, I was only in fourth grade at the time, so I couldn't understand the profound meaning of the film at all. At that time, after eating, I asked my cousin how D was feeling, and she said: It's normal. What is your aesthetic. I was angry at the time. I quietly swore in my heart that in the future, I must find a time to watch this film and savor it well. Now think about it, why be angry with her. Indeed, when a person cannot understand something, he will unconsciously say something bad. Many people say bad things, and sometimes they don't even understand them. In the same way, many people say it is good, sometimes it also shows the superficiality of the work - it is loved by people of all levels.

2. After reviewing it, for a while, I almost forgot about this promise. But finally remembered. I hurriedly went back to check, only to find that I forgot its name. After thinking about it for a long time, I entered the words "Vampire Prince 2" in the Baidu search box. Actually, I remember right, D was a prince. Then I found it out of nowhere. It seems to be a hint for a related entry. Having said that, I really have to thank Baidu for related entries. If it weren't for it, I'm afraid I still can't remember the name of the movie. That was one of the tragedies of my life. Revisiting the first year of junior high, at night. The feeling of watching it is shocking. Totally shocked. In fact, there were still some plots that I didn't understand at the time, but the shock it brought me overshadowed the details. Two mountains. A stalk with a small flower after death. A few days ago, I got together with a friend to chat, and she talked about her favorite Japanese manga, "The Wedge of Between". She asked me if I had any favorite anime, and I said Blood Hunt D. She smiled and said that the seiyuu of the male protagonist of the wedge had dubbed Blood Hunter D. I was surprised and thought I had found a friend. After chatting for a while, I found out that it is not a version at all, not a story. Later, I found out on Baidu that the male lead between the wedges was the 1985 version of D. It's the one that made the original author publicly express his disappointment. It is the 2000 version D that is truly accepted by the original author and also accepted by real fans. However, because of a friend's reference, I revisited D again. This time, I understood a lot of things that I couldn't see before and couldn't understand. Perhaps, it is because I understand that I have lost the growth brought by my confidant. D. The author said that it was named so to show respect for the vampire ancestor Dracula. Vampire Hunter D, an existence that cannot be erased in the history of Japanese comics. People may not know him, not understand him. But they couldn't help admitting him. Compared with Zhang Qiling in Tomb Raiders Notes, Vampire Hunter D is definitely an existence that truly represents eternity and loneliness. He lives forever, but he is definitely not happy. People thought that he had the same advantages as vampires, how wonderful. In fact, it's not just the advantages. There are also shortcomings, and various qualities. He didn't want it, but God didn't give him the chance to choose. He suffered, however, no one saw. He walks between life and death, however, no one understands. He rescued human beings from the bloody teeth of vampires for people, and people turned their guns on him. The vampires also glared at him for stealing their food. He is just working for the code and peace in his heart. He didn't understand where he was going wrong. That's how he became the "nosy guy" as Leila called him. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel sad for him. Maybe this is the future. 2015.7.24.
