Gus, human nature; Griffith, reason

The first two episodes are well laid out, but fortunately, the plot is coherent and full, and it complements the bloody, violent and exquisite pictures of the painting. The style of painting that leans towards classical comics is refreshing and full of reverie. In the third episode, I don't want to say it, I feel that the author has changed...

And the author is too yellow... Do it at every turn, can't hugs show emotion? You have to show us great harmony, embarrassing...

Gus and Griffith are one with two sides. Only together can they reflect the essence of human beings. It is the combination of human nature and rationality. They each have their own biases, and their biases lead to the final outcome.

My creative desire is always late at night. I want to write this film review because I heard "guitar sound" and finished watching the theatrical version of the golden age chapter. What I see in them is precisely because of my own appreciation for value. Different views and biased towards different ways of thinking, the final cause and effect, the emotional Gus knew that he and Griffith were real friends, but could not accept him, and finally caused Griffith to leave because of his departure. Because he clearly knew the rules of the game for power struggle, he let go of his vigilance and indulged the weakness of human nature. This was the turning point of everything, the beginning of the gears turning.

In the end, however, I thought, whether in favor of humanity or rationality, what Gus would never do, what Gus would never do. The author personifies an angel, but he does not know the humility of man standing in the heaven and the earth. This shortcoming, minus two stars...

Berserk: The Golden Age Arc I - The Egg of the King quotes

  • Griffith: Why do men like to shed blood, you asked. You are right in saying that it is one of the facets we, men, possess. However, it is but a tool to obtain what our heart desires and keep it from harm's way. I believe it to be a double-edged blade.

    Charlotte: What your heart desires... a lover? A knight's honor?

    Griffith: Both are important, aren't they? Fighting and dying for love and honor is what a knight desires above all else. But for men there exists something even more important than that. You know of it, I believe.

    Charlotte: More important?

    Griffith: It is a dream formulated and fostered for your own sake. Men are entranced by their dreams regardless of birth, rank or social standing. The dream supports them. It makes them suffer and it breathes new life into them. And it kills them. Even after they've given up on it, it continues to smolder in their hearts. All men have a dream at least once in their lives. They imagine themselves being martyrs to the God their dream has become. Others live on powerlessly, birthed into the world. I could not endure such a life.
