Complex and sprawling narrative? God made? Sorry, I don't agree. The first half was well organized. In the final ending, the struggle between Ikari Gendo and Seele was completely illogical. The relationship between many supporting characters was even more unclear. What the director wanted to express at the end was a mystery.
The biggest flaw is Director Ikari. The purpose of the director has made me curious from the beginning, and it always looks like everything is under control. But in the final ending, his purpose turned out to be to complete this human completion plan and meet Wei. Seeing this, I really had a forced expression on my face, so the director and seele had no conflict of interest relationship at all from the beginning. In a way, their goals were even the same. 666
In the end, the conversation between Shinji and the three beauties also surprised me. In the final battle, the director wanted to show that the killings of human beings were too cruel, and seele is to let human beings remove the estrangement in their minds, become one, and return to their original appearance. This is a good thing! The reason for Shinji's refusal turned out to be that he still wanted to see everyone and enjoy the reality of people in the estrangement. Well, the standard anime routine, perfect. In fact, I think that after evolution, how good it is, at least you don't have to worry about exams and making money, hhhh, and no matter how you choose, Shinji can actually achieve his goals. After all, the most important thing is the spiritual core of human beings. I think what the director wants to express is a very profound idea, but he didn't handle it well. As a result, he didn't express it clearly, and everyone didn't understand it.
As for all kinds of technical and special effects, it seems that eva was the peak at that time. I just want to say one thing, eva fights like a fairy in the sky, there is no heavy feeling, of course this is not a disadvantage, it is also an advantage to some extent. But I still prefer heavy fights, which everyone loves.
In short, EVA reminds me of "The Promise", but Director Chen's level is still very high. My score for eva is actually not that low, probably because my perception is different from my expectations.
