In the film, the main character dies. The name of the teacher in the play is very interesting. If he wants to fight with the teacher, he will definitely not win. His every move is taught by the teacher. The teacher is the mold worker in this society, while the protagonist and other teenagers are the puppets that came out of the mold. Kill slaves.
The meaning of combat is to give people a sense of urgency similar to wartime, perhaps to give people the illusion that life is more colorful and a life full of food and drink is more meaningful; of course, it is not ruled out that it is bribery by large companies The country makes people think that the arms business and research and development of big companies are meaningful. Just like in the past, in order to continue the research on nuclear energy, people were told that nuclear energy can actually treat cancer, and then a cancer patient was pushed into the chemotherapy room, and then pulled out half-dead, saying that if there was no nuclear energy, he would have died long ago. So nuclear energy funding and public opinion continued. In fact, it is just to make more powerful killing weapons and to gain the right to use taxpayer money for interest groups. Of course it's a conspiracy theory. After all, the protagonist died because of these reasons that no one knows. Of course, the protagonist will tell himself that life has meaning. Maybe it's in struggle, maybe it's in struggle, maybe it's in order to suffer. But that meant only to himself. For the big machine of society, it only needs one kind of meaning, that is, the feeling brought to people by the process of life changing from freshness to death. Perhaps it is the needs of the people of the society, or it may be the needs of large interest groups. Regardless of whether it is good or not, it takes some motivation to maintain the current system and interests, and that is the war and death brought about by the protagonists. It's okay for the war to be fake for the time being, as long as death is real. Maybe everyone will ask, isn't plain happiness better. Sometimes handing over to you what you want you might push it out. Stupid, the distance between pain and pleasure is much closer than you might think. Your heart is also much cheaper than you think.
Society is a machine, and man is a component of the machine. Humans themselves are probably inferior to machines. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Oshii was filming this animation.
Another reason is that when I was watching NHK's documentary "Movie Director Oshii Mori: Giving Delusions Visible", I found a sentence, "I don't want this movie to shout empty justice, nor do I want to use stereotyped incentives. , but a real and peaceful hope, which is what I want to convey." So what kind of hope is this, when the slightly bald uncle stood on the podium of his alma mater, he said to the students under the stage, "The so-called true meaning of life is good for elementary school students and old men. It's basically a painful thing. Pain is a matter of course... It's very painful, I feel pain too. But it's not bad. Ah. Maybe you will see something good at the end." I was very, very shocked, because I can understand this emotion very well, it is very similar to when I was in college, but I can't imagine how he could be in such a state of being calm. For such a long time?
Perhaps it was the rhythm of society and real life that made Mamoru Oshii miserable for so long, yet he enjoyed the pain. If this is the case, isn't what Oshii Mori did the same thing as killing slaves to die because of the so-called stimulating needs of society? Anyway, they are forced to choose under the social attribute label, but one is a fast death, and the other is a slow death. At the end, Yuyi took his plane up to the sky, left the team, and said, "Because it's the road I traveled every time, isn't the scenery the same, that's why it doesn't work. This is my war." Others seem to be dying, but is this the true and peaceful hope that Oshii Mamoru said?
Hope is an option.
This may be the biggest reason why Mamoru Oshii chose the script.
