Hood was going to visit her grandmother who lived in the deep forest. On the way, she met the big wild wolf. The big wild wolf asked her where you were going, and Little Red Riding Hood told the big wild wolf that she was going to her grandmother who lived in the deep forest. Home, the big wild wolf asked her if you want to take the needle route or the stitch route, and Little Red Riding Hood replied that he wanted to take the needle route, so the big wild wolf took the needle route."
No matter which route you choose, they all point to the same destination. . People who walk just see different scenery, but eventually they all come to the grandmother's hut deep in the forest. Because there are many versions of Little Red Riding Hood in history, grandma's hut has gradually become Schrödinger's hut, and you can finally know who the person lying on the bed is when you open the door.
Mamoru Oshii chose the original version of Little Red Riding Hood, created by the French poet Perrault, which ended with the big wolf finally eating Little Red Riding Hood. The whole play of the film is based on fairy tales, and it also creates symbolic characters that conform to fairy tales, so that the whole story complements and complements each other. The tone of the whole piece is dark and cold, accompanied by Mizoguchi's mournful and mournful music, which solemnly tells the tragic fate of everyone in this era.
The Big Wild Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood: Fu and
Amamiya Keifu are members of the special aircraft team, and Kei is a member of the resistance organization (the G'A department calls this organization Little Red Riding Hood). The two met for the first time in front of the tomb of Achuan Qisheng, a member of the Little Red Riding Hood. Accidental, but arranged by people. Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Wild Wolf met, and the story of man and beast began.
Like ordinary lovers, they walked through the park on the street corner, crossed the roads of the city, and stood together in the tallest building in the city, looking at the distant scenery. Kyu told the unreachable dream in his heart. This dream is like a balloon released by a little boy, floating in any corner of the sky with the wind, without restraint, without restriction, and truly free. And this ethereal dream can be completely shattered by just a phone call, the reality is cold.
When the two fleeing came to the top floor of the building again, Fu was still silently listening to Kyu's cry. For a brief moment, he was shaken, and he said, "It's not as good as us...", but immediately denied his idea. They can only be like the advertising balloons on the top floor of the building. Although they can float in the wind, they are forever fixed on the ground. The distant balloons flew away, but they were still bound heavily on the ground.
This bondage is an identity, this shackle is a position, and this iron chain is an inescapable destiny. Opposing identities make them unable to fly away like ordinary couples. Humans have human ideals, and beasts have beasts' ways of living. Humans who have a relationship with beasts usually don't have a good end. The gears of fate have already begun to turn, like fate. The end has been revealed.
As the fairy tale goes, Fu finally shot and killed Kyu, and the big wild wolf ate Little Red Riding Hood and returned to the pack.
The positioning of the characters' identities in the film is not completely fixed. Oshii Mamoru subtly transposed the identities of the Big Wild Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood three times through the plot, making the story itself more intriguing. When Fu and Gui met for the first time, Gui was wearing a red shawl, which was easily reminiscent of Little Red Riding Hood, while Fu, as a member of the special team, was defined as the role of the big wild wolf. When Fu and other recruits were training, the narrator narrated the story of Little Red Riding Hood in a steady tone, and it was also implied here that the powerful Fu and others were the big wild wolf.
As the plot unfolds, Kyu is used as a bait to lure Fu into the trap set by the G'A department. Although Kyu is still dressed in red, he has changed from a passive and helpless Little Red Riding Hood to a man hiding sharp minions. The big wolf (although forced), and the Fu who entered the siege was transformed into Little Red Riding Hood whose life was at stake.
When Kyu learned the truth of the whole thing in the sewer, the plot took a turn again, and the conspiracy of the G'A department was revealed. At this time, the identities of the two changed again. Fu put on the mecha in front of Kyu, which means that He is the real big wolf in human skin, and Kyu is the real Little Red Riding Hood.
The Great Wolf and the Hunter: Fu and Bianjian
It can be seen from the background introduction at the beginning that Japan was going through a very turbulent era at that time. While the economy was seeking rapid growth, there were many problems such as unemployment, social order chaos, and the crime rate soaring. Vanguard forces against rebels and rioters.
However, when the society gradually stabilized after the initial chaos, people yearned for a stable regime and system. Under this background, the "hunters" who harbored ambitions had several meetings, and their "prey" was Special fleet. The G'A department under the capital police and the special aircraft team of the security department are both subordinate to the security department, and the relationship between the two has always been incompatible. The fleet completely disappeared.
Fu and Bianjian were friends at the same time, Fu joined the special fleet, while Bianjian went to the G'A department. These two people represent the relationship between the special aircraft team and the G'A department.
As a hunter, Bianjian has always taken the initiative. He sent Gui to Fu's side. Fu failed to shoot and kill the little girl in front of him during the mission, which led to the self-destruction incident. This seems to make Bianjian mistakenly believe that Fu was emotionally He has the flaw of being easily shaken. He thinks that maybe Gui can trap him. After all, this is just an extra layer of insurance, and the power that can finally kill the big wolf is in his own hands.
He uses Kyu as bait to lure Fuzi into the net, the hunter smiles grimly, and the silent art gallery at night is full of traps and tricks. With his keen sense of smell and insight, Fu avoided one obstacle after another. The big wild wolf took Little Red Riding Hood out of the museum. The car marks on the road resembled the vigorous steps of a wild wolf, laughing at the ignorance of the hunter. The hunter's siege plan failed.
"If that man were a wolf..."
"I'd shoot before my throat was bitten off. I'm different from him." The
hunter Bianjian attacked.
Bian Jian is a qualified hunter because he has a blind conceit. The hunter only stares at the prey itself when chasing, but never pays attention to the feet. The staggered passages of the sewers are exactly the terrain that the beasts like. The hunters are led to this place by the prey, but it is thanks to the locator that they put in the Little Red Riding Hood's bag in advance. About to start.
Listen, the sound of water dripping in the distance, the screams in the distance, the gunshots in the distance, the sounds are layered upon layers, echoing in the huge sewer.
Bianjian's leg was scratched by the sharp claws of the wild wolf, and he limped forward. The blood flowed down, staining the entire trouser leg red, he rolled down the slope, the wall extending to the top in front of him blocked the way, he knelt on the ground, the hunter felt desperate, and the wild wolf had arrived behind him.
"Fu, what's the difference between you and me? You're human too!" Bian Jian roared a question he didn't understand until he died, and the only answer to him was the sound of machine gun fire.
Handa said, "Only when humans write the ending will humans defeat the big wolf." The
conceited hunters all die, die of conceit.
The Big Wild Wolf and the Forest: Survival and Destruction
Da Liu once mentioned in "Three-Body Problem": "If you lose your humanity, you lose a lot; if you lose your animality, you lose everything."
Throughout the film, from Fu Hegui (The Big Wild Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood), to Fushi and Bianmi (special plane team and G'A department), and then to post-war Japan and the international world (the big wolf and the forest), all illustrate the search for the way of survival. Survival is the instinct of human beings, and more importantly Beast instinct. How to survive in a complex and harsh environment is a question worth exploring.
Mamoru Oshii used 100 minutes to tell a fairy tale, a love story, a friendship story, a story of survival and death. And it took me four years to read this.
