It's not human beings who can make up for it, it's the broken heart that can't make up for it.

You are both far and near, such an ambiguous and hypocritical relationship makes me feel insecure

If I can't get all of you, I'd rather have nothing

Then please, save me, let me be with you

do not want

Well, let's die together

Let's all die sweetly

The first time I saw EVA, a lot of things happened. When I lost confidence in people's understanding of each other, I can't figure out whether I was deeply inspired or resonated.

At that time, after the completion and the beginning, I just felt that the stream of consciousness was very shocking (although I watched the TV version of the ending first), but I didn't understand the mess. Two years later, I can't remember whether it was the second or third time. Suddenly, I feel that I have understood something.

Shinji, who was on the verge of collapse, finally completely despaired of mutual understanding in the gathering of everyone's consciousness. This world that hates me and I hate it is destroyed. If everyone is integrated, maybe someone will really understand me.

Let's be one, let's be one body and mind

Only you, never

Asuka's words completely extinguished the hope that had just ignited in Shinji's heart. All the happiness just now seemed to be an illusion. It was as if no one really knew "I" by simply accepting my empty world.

A world without "I" is the same as a world with nothing

I thought that world was bad, but it was the same when I escaped here.

What is a dream? It is a continuation of reality

What is reality? is the end of the dream

Shinji finally chose to dream in a reality somewhere and live in a reality somewhere

EVA is completed by cowardly people on the verge of collapse, and therefore, cowardly people who are unwilling to accept reality will deeply love it.

So what should we do if we choose to live after listening to our mother's arrangement?

Cowardly people are not only happy in their dreams, but if they want to be happy, they must become strong

When Shinji sees Asuka again, when he sees the reality they hate each other, he still instinctively wants to strangle her to death, but he will give up immediately after being touched by her tenderly, because if you want to live, those realities called others are necessary. .

Disgusting

Hearing this sentence, will he slightly laugh at that cowardly and lovely self? Or do you hate the me who has repeatedly failed to fit into reality?

    The first time I saw it was in 2001. The bloody of Air (in the Moshaxue edited version of Cruel Angels, I still have lingering fears from watching the clips) so far. The text is forgotten clean-except for the adult's kiss

    94/100, I was silent for a long time after watching, the more I thought about it, the more I could perceive the weirdness of the film. The composition of the lens and the visual symbols are extremely divine, and the conflicts of reality and the montages that are exaggerated to the extent that only animation can be completed are frightening. The characters are full of "self-awareness", and the internal lack of each character is enlarged as a reflection through the plot. The self-created "person" is changed through the consciousness-mind, born from one matrix and then returned to another matrix, to achieve re-creation, which is called "completeness". What this film tries to show is like the division and contradiction between reality and integrity, extremely crazy imbalance, when you really face the spiritual world, there will be no peace. In fact, Anye still didn't give any answer, but this level of expression has already made people throw themselves into the ground. //Review on January 30, 2021, the best animation in my ever film history.

Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion quotes

  • Shinji Ikari: No-one understands me.

    Rei Ayanami: You never understood anything.

    Shinji Ikari: I thought this was supposed to be a world without pain and without uncertainty.

    Rei Ayanami: That's because you thought that everyone else felt the same as you do.

    Shinji Ikari: You betrayed me! You betrayed my feelings!

    Rei Ayanami: You misunderstood from the very beginning. You just believed what you wanted to believe.

    Shinji Ikari: Nobody wants me, so they can all just die.

    Rei Ayanami: Then what is your hand for?

    Shinji Ikari: Nobody cares whether I live or die. Nothing will change... so they can all just die...

    Rei Ayanami: Then what is your heart for?

    Shinji Ikari: It would be better if I never existed. I should just die too.

    Rei Ayanami: Then why are you here?

    Shinji Ikari: Is it OK for me to be here?

    [the word "Silence" flashes on the screen and fades away]

    Shinji Ikari: NOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooo!

  • Misato Katsuragi: The power's still on. There's still time. Shinji, listen to me... from now on, you're on your own. You'll have to make your own decisions. No one can do it for you.

    Shinji Ikari: I... I can't. I'm no good. I can't pilot EVA if all I do is hurt and kill people. I thought I had no choice but to pilot EVA, but I was just lying to myself. I'm not worthy of piloting an EVA, because I don't understand anything. I'm incapable of doing anything good for anybody else! I did something terrible, though. I killed Kaworu! I'm a horrible person. I'm dishonest, and a coward. All I ever do is hurt people. So I'd rather do nothing at all!

    Misato Katsuragi: I'm not gonna feel sorry for you. If you don't like feeling pain, then you can just sit here and let them kill you! Crying isn't going to solve anything either!
