A great adventure of the mind, there is no self in the world. Today, in the library projection hall and on the screen, I once again felt "Mind Game". The vitality, crazy imagination and painting, Yuasa is unmatched in terms of imagination. Story combing: The opening chapter is quite Ukiyo-e, flashing the lines of the characters in the film, and the film begins with the appearance of the rotating white flower MIND GAME. Mi (the heroine) is chased on the train by the athlete Ajin, and meets Xi (the male lead). Xi thinks that he confessed his secret love to Mi at first, but he is ashamed to express his lost love on the school trip, and then learns that Mi is going to marry Liang. He wanted to express his regrets in the past, but he still pretended to be a blessing of relief. Afterwards, the two entered the tavern of Mi's house. At this time, their sister Yang and their father appeared. The father was a man who was a man of love when he was young, and he was still very romantic. He also had a conflict after he robbed Ajin's girlfriend. After a simple exchange, Liang (the heroine's fiancé) enters the tavern, and Nishi feels ashamed that Mi has found a happy partner. The warm scene is broken by the intrusion of the underworld boss and Ajin (the thunder and lightning flashes and red set of this scene reflect the sense of crisis). Yang couldn't make excuses for his father, and the athlete had bad intentions towards Mi. He couldn't stop his conscience, but he lost. Xi curled up and didn't move until Mi called Xi's name, and Ajin aimed the gun at Xi's anus, Peng! , the gunshot recalled. The underworld boss couldn't stand it and taught him to kill Ajin. Looking at the blood on the ground and the barbecue and beer on the table, he remembered his former lover and the past, and said with emotion: "If only I had time to be superhuman!" Then the blue of the west Soul, encountering an indeterminate, random God, and recalling that my life was just 20 years old, it was a mess, it had not even begun, and I was still so cowardly and timid, so unwilling! I thought that if moving towards red means ascending to the sky, is it the opposite direction? So he turned around, broke free from the pursuit of the god who turned into a leopard, his soul returned to his body, and he clamped the gun in his anus to kill Ajin. Drive away from the pub with Sister Mi Yang. Due to the location in the car, the underworld boss called the group of people in the car and talked about Ajin's past (obsessed with football and wanted to go to the World Cup with his girlfriend, from being abandoned by his parents and not knowing what love was, his girlfriend was robbed by sister Mi Yang's father) I left), and by the way, I followed the machine to teach the three of Xi Mi Yang an elder-like lesson (the people in the cradle don’t understand real life), Xi counterattack didn’t care, followed by a car chase with a lot of tension and laughter. , Some of them ran wildly on the road foreshadowing, and then the three fell into the belly of a whale and met the old man. The old man has lived in the belly of a whale for 30 years. At first, the three of them felt that they had food and hot water, and they could accept it except for the connection with the outside world only by a radio. After eating a full meal, they tried to escape to no avail, and they felt gloomy when they were rescued by the old man. Three days later, my sister Yang was the first to respond, cutting her long hair to meet the old man's "friend", and Mi also followed. , thinking of how the 30-year-old man persevered and felt remorse, he accidentally fell off the suspension bridge, instinctively grabbed the rope, but still fell into the water. He was caught by the old man's friend "Hailong" (I don't know this thing, so let's call it that), the beautiful old Mi Yang, and everyone cheered up. Yang Yi recalled that Mi was a swimming champion when he was a child, and later gave up swimming because of his big breasts. Xi decided to use cartoons to please everyone, while her sister Yang started her performance art performance (this section is somewhat similar to Kitano Takeshi's "Achilles and the Turtle". Like), a few people dancing games are so lively. The old man said to several young men: "I'm not a good person, I beg for forgiveness, life is so beautiful, do you want to lie in bed or just enjoy life", the old man took the wrong goods when he was young, and unfortunately fell into the belly of a whale when he was fleeing, modern things Don't understand everything. Xijiimi told a story about the future with a big brain hole. The earth's resources were exhausted. Humans went to other planets to feed on the feces of other creatures. Later, other creatures came to prey on the creatures they were able to support. The captain somehow became bigger and bigger. in Mi's belly. Nishi's eyes turn purple, Mi's eyes turn red, along with Yamamoto Seiichi's "Como Estas", Yuasa Masaaki brings a surreal sex, abstraction, and expressionism to the audience. What followed was a few people's imaginations in the future. Mi won the swimming championship in the universe, Xi became a famous cartoonist loved by children, and Yang shined in the art world. After that, everyone tried to find a way to go out. A boat without a "motor" would not work. After finding the "motor", after several contacts, the whale swam to the vicinity of Osaka again, and a few people did the final sprint. The section of rowing out of the whale is the pinnacle of painting. The boat was rowed to pieces, and a few people stepped on the broken wood. Everyone thought of what they would do after going out and turned it into a figurative power under their feet. When they ran west, their feet were fractured, and the memories The milk in my memory was secretly drained, my mother added it to the dish, and the bones were cured. All the way from the belly of the whale to the bridge, the tank, the plane, the sky. When I see the city again, the round-hole lens, soaked by Xi's tears, it's good to be back outside! Then there is a flashback, with the beginning explaining the old man's life, social current affairs, war, and the lives of the few people who escaped. The story is not over yet! Video Analysis: In 2004, "Mind Game" produced by the Fourth Animation Studio was released. It was a time of restlessness and anxiety in the new century. The aftermath of the collapse of the world economy in Japan is still there, and the Japanese society with low desire is in urgent need of a booster. Yuasa may have also realized this and just had the opportunity to tell a story entirely by herself. "Mind Game" was adapted from the manga of the same name, but it was completely Yuasa-style, abstract, with three dimensions inserted into the two-dimensional animation, crazy sex. , the details that are constantly flashing and flashing, it is very difficult to make people feel that he is showing off his skills. The most important thing is that I want to use the powerful chicken soup instilled in Japanese society through the film to directly suffocate a group of young people. Abstract style. The first contact with Yuasa was in a summer vacation when I was in the early years of high school. I opened up the painting style of "Ping Pong" in the original work of Matsumoto Dayo, and integrated several dilemmas of sports into the TV of just eleven episodes. From then on, I entered the pit. The soup is shallow. If human cognition is a sphere, then these talented artists stabbed one cone after another on this ball. We usually don’t care that once we step into it, it will be a whole new world. Thank you to Yuasa for thanking the artist. In this film, it is violence, video playback with ghosts and animals, surreal sex, colorful performance art, constant association and flipping, the most beautiful scene should be in the water, sister Mi Yang and Xi and the old man in circles, The fish leaps out of the water, enjoying the joy of life, the indulgent Dionysian. Sex and adults. The topic of sex cannot be avoided in Japanese society. Yuasa is also expressing the low thoughts and behaviors of women in the film. The influence of the tertiary industry on the status of women is not until the topic of women in "Shame of Japan" has been brought to the public again in recent years. Vision, calling on society to pay attention to women. Regarding the definition of adults, Hayao Miyazaki has been making fairy tales, and Toshi Kon may have more social discussions, while some of Yuasa's dark and cruel works full of nihilism are aimed at adults. And who can say that he is an adult, like Ajin in the film, although he is old, he is incomplete. Is mental maturity or rich experience the ladder to adulthood, and is becoming an adult a good thing? No matter it is appropriate to maintain a state of hope that the passion rushing out of the belly of the whale is the state of hope, that vigorous vitality may be the biggest motor of human beings. About whales. When I first saw "Mind Game", I thought that whales should be the so-called comfort zone. If you are comfortable and enjoy in an environment, your vitality will decrease if you are lazy. However, in the end, the whale must end the protagonist's line of escape, either passively or actively, to push aside some barriers and rush towards a better life. But now it is not just a low-desire society in Japan, but there are similar situations all over the world. The world outside the whales is not so beautiful, so should we rush out? If a dream cannot be realized, should we pursue it? If you think about the problem in this direction, you will become more and more pessimistic and negative. The cause of this cannot be said to be the influence of the Internet or the surrounding. The words of the elderly are the key. The life in the cradle may not be a real life, and life requires real feelings. . This kind of chicken soup is not something that anyone can get into, at least "Mind Game" makes people surging. The translation of the mind game might be better to change the name to the big adventure of the mind. The world goes on and on, and we feel nothing when we bow in the belly of a whale. Don't care what's out there, rush out is king. Animation is the best form of printing imagination, animation is art, looking forward to Yuasa Masaki's next work.
