"MINDGAME" with a big title uses the font design of the famous Japanese game "Dragon Quest". This title stem also implies the meaning of "game life", and the attitude of "game life" coincides with the "mourning culture" that has been rampant in recent years. Changes in the external environment of society have shaped Buddhist youth. Why do young people not want to work hard? With the global economic downturn, the pressure of urban life, and the involution of competition, we have seen a lot of new life after entering the 21st century. A life hesitant to love, a life where dreams have been stranded, a life stimulated by dopamine achieved by Douyin Kuaishou, a life without reflection and only material desires. What do the characters that appear in this film have in common? That is failure and frustration. These are all hidden in the montage at the beginning, the childhood sweetheart of the male protagonist West, who is about to become someone else's wife. The heroine Mi wanted to be a swimmer and gave up because her breasts were too developed. Mi's sister Yang gave up her art school exams because her family was being charged for debts. The football player's girlfriend, Riko, is taken by Ya's father. No one can be a victorious general in life. In the montage in the early stage of the film, we reviewed the first half of the whale's life, the gang cadre was taken away by Mi's father when he was young, and then he had to say goodbye to his lover. The lovesick life of the male protagonist West. Then the film opens, a juvenile Werther-style opening. The superman who reverses time and space does not exist in reality, and the heroine must fall in love with the hero. It is also not reality. Those girls will fall in love with more reliable and straightforward men, just like flowers that have been difficult to distinguish between true and false in the years, and have left in the sea of people vast. Whales are a reality that is pressing step by step, and a status quo that is powerless. The whale also ushered in a turning point for the characters that ended in this tragedy. In an isolated island, people always have time to solve various problems. Exchange feelings, resume careers, and indulge in fantasies. This is the dream town full of warmth left by the author, Peach Blossom Spring. There may not be a whale belly in reality, but director Yuasa may be proposing a communal and peaceful life, and he is trying to answer why modern people are always unhappy. People may need a time of love, a time of wearing flowers, and finally being reborn into the world. Just like we used to work so hard to be born into the world and then talk about the picture alone, I really like the way that Master Yuasa's stream of consciousness and spiritual activities reproduce reality. The first time I came into contact with it was "Devilman crybaby", the kind of OD effect that even the picture is excited when expressing madness, the beating five-color blocks and the music with strong drum beats, repeatedly emphasizing that animation should be so unrestrained, coincidentally with Czerny Shevsky's art is full of romantic imagination and higher than life.
