30 years old to see eva again. Human, more human.
When I watched it 15 years ago, I thought it was a masterpiece, God was setting strange, God was the unsolved mystery of Ayanami, God was mature and sexy in Katsuragi Misato, God was religious mystery. Looking at Eva 15 years later, God works, God in human nature is all human nature. When I was young, I didn't understand why Ikari Shinji was so cowardly, but now I understand how terrible death is, how complicated people are, and how difficult and thirsty love is. Only then did I realize that Shinji's choice is the choice of the living person. Couldn't do better. When I was young, I didn't understand the repeated changes of Ayanami Rei. Now I understand that there are many Ayanami Rei, the one who laughed has long since died, and the living ones also yearn for humanity. When I was young, I didn't understand the goodness of being a cartoon. Now I understand that the shots are more mature than many movies. Now the details are not missed, and now I understand how difficult the grand world is. When I was young, I didn't understand the meaning of those endings, but now I understand that it can be completed in thought, and it needs to be completed in practice.
eva is not a work that shows off mysteries and grandstanding, but a work that needs to be carefully looked at. In the first episode, Shinji and Katsuragi meet. The two people with different styles are reflected in two photos: Katsuragi is lively and cheerful, and Shinji is serious like an adult. However, it is worth pondering who is an adult and who is a child.
The works that feel the same way are Dream of Red Mansions. When I was young, I looked at Dream of Red Mansions as love and poetry, but now I look at it as human nature and destiny, even more human nature and destiny.
