snow in kilimanjaro

It's still over.

A pure coming-of-age story, without sworn dreams, without the preaching of crown springs. A child with high IQ and low emotional quotient, and three adults with their own concerns, get together for survival.

At the beginning of the story, Spike says that the three things he hates most are all on the boat: children, dogs, and naughty women. And when Faye left, he and Jet were sitting on the sofa eating eggs without any extra words. Maybe, he also wanted to eat a bowl of green pepper shredded pork without meat.

Jet said he didn't like the snow in Kilimanjaro because the people in the story couldn't let go of the past. And from the beginning to the end, they were all involved in the past, but they didn't ask each other. Quiet as the sea, calm and turbulent.

Spike said that one of his eyes is looking at the past and the other is looking at the present, and what he sees is not real. And now, he wants to wake up from his dream and see if he is really alive.

Faye's last weak shot, Mao Enlai's (...) last Bang, the story is over.

    If ed and ein belong to fairy tales, the existence of spike is a legend, and faye's experience is like a novel, then jet's story can only be classified as a documentary. He left the organization, he left the police station, and she fled the hospital. Efforts to get rid of the shackles of others proved to be a failure in the end. This is the dilemma of existentialism. I want to escape this absurd world but have to face it again. The music is also all-encompassing, from rock music, JAZZ, to the Nutcracker waltz of Tchaikovsky. Thanks to Yoko Kanno for bringing us the sound of music in the style of NEW AGE. For us, this kind of film is not the knife mark on the wood, which can be immortalized immediately, but the pigment falling into the water, the more precipitated and rippling, the deeper the dye.

    It's hard to see a fan that surpasses CB again. Yoko Kanno's soundtrack makes me want to hit 10,000 stars. It feels like a story about the past and the future. Everyone has a past, and cowboys are people who are banished by memories and wandering in the universe. Time and space are created at the same time and are related to each other. Escaping the past time also put aside the original space and began to wander between the stars. And when the memories are rediscovered or terminated, the time can be connected, and there is a real place of belonging.

Cowboy Bebop quotes

  • bull: Do not fear death. Death is always at our side. When we show fear, it jumps at us faster than light, but if we do not show fear, it casts its eye upon us gently and then guides us into infinity...

  • Spike: [Julia is humming while reading the newspaper after taking care of Spike]

    [she doesn't know that he is conscious]

    Spike: Just like that... sing for me, please.
