To be honest, I insisted on watching the first 10 minutes or so when Yingliang and Haruki met again in the library and couldn't help rolling their eyes. This kind of plot appeared in 2019, which is too old-fashioned. For those who have some life experience For young people, it may not be attractive. "I Want to Eat Your Pancreas" There are too many grooves in the plot of the animated film. I don't know where to start. Let me briefly summarize what makes me uncomfortable:
1. The logic of the title of "Eat Pancreas" comes from the folklore of "what to eat to make up for what". It can only be said that the inspiration is too surly... It is like a strange idea that came up one day in an adolescent girl. The age of the heroine is more suitable, but if the expected audience of the film is the youth group, then I have no fuck to say, but for most people who come from adolescence, recalling what they did in the middle and second adolescence is psychological after all. A sense of resistance, it is difficult to form a deep psychological identity for this point that runs through the whole film and has to be sublimated at the end, which sets a very rigid cover for the film.
2. The character of the heroine in this film is fragile inside and carefree on the outside, but the key to the problem is that the contradiction of her character is not convincing enough, or the screenwriter of the movie should focus on explaining that Ying Liang formed such a contradiction character reasons. In this film, Yingliang gave reasons for her unwillingness to disclose her illness to her classmates - unwilling to let everyone treat her differently because of her illness, thus losing some interpersonal possibilities. This reason is still weak to explain the causes of contradictory characters. In short, Ying Liang's character is like two pieces of paper stuck together, not three-dimensional enough.
3. In addition, the appearance of some old stalks is also embarrassing, such as encounters in the hospital, running away from the hero, and assisting in the hotel... I want to summarize them as "one hundred thousand kinds of routines of the second green tea". Under the piling up of accidental plots, "unexpectedly", the male protagonist Haruki's attitude towards Ying Liang did not change significantly. At this time, half of the movie has passed! (Fall!! If it was in the movie theater, I would have been unable to sit still) I think the screenwriter here should provide a little psychological rationale for Haruki's "cooperating" with Sakura Liang's various behaviors. Haruki's transformation happened in "seeing the other side of Ying Liang" type of events, including needles and medicine in the luggage, warnings from Ying Liang's best friend, witnessing the conflict between Ying Liang and her ex-boyfriend, plus some heart-breaking incidents afterward , These step by step contributed to the appearance of the arc of Haruki's characters. However, due to the lack of psychological description and lack of foreshadowing in the early stage, the credibility of the characters' actions has been greatly reduced (it is still the above-mentioned rationality issue), I have not formed empathy with Haruki, and there are many people who feel the same The curtain will know (can't cry).
4. Finally, because of personal aesthetics, I cannot accept this style of painting. Maybe I am picky about the style of Japanese animation, so I can't be considered a loyal audience. I personally have no idea about the character modeling by Makoto Shinkai, Yukio Midorikawa, Hiroyuki Morita, etc. It feels too flat, or Miyazaki Junhe's "Blade of Ghost Slayer" is more three-dimensional and with high color saturation, which is more in line with my aesthetic. "Pancreas" Yamauchi Sakura's eyes gave me a foggy and gray feeling, unable to convey the complex psychological activities of this character, which may be the reason why I think the characters are flat.
Although "Pancreas" has so many shortcomings, I still found two bright spots. One is the exploration of the meaning of life buried under the theme of pure love. The final cause of death of Yamauchi Sakurai, who suffered from pancreatic disease, was assassinated by gangsters, which made the pancreatic disease a shadow of death, which is always chasing Sakurai. But in the end did not catch up with her, and the real death was that accidental tragedy. This setting throws the meaning of the film into a wider field - making people think about how to live in the situation of predicting death. As Ying Liang said, "Everyone will die", death is a blade of Damocles hanging over the head for everyone. For Ying Liang, the warning of death is nothing more than an early arrival. But the cunning god of death is more than just this talisman? Death is hidden behind all the accidents we may encounter in our lives. Knowing this, should we be in a state of panic or enjoy life in the sunshine? The answer speaks for itself. The second is the intertext between the film and "The Little Prince". The creator must have a good understanding of the story of the little prince. At the end of the film, Haruki entered the little prince's planetary universe under the leadership of Ying Liang in the diary. Since then, Ying Liang. Wearing a layer of filter set by the little prince. Those who have read "The Little Prince" may feel "enlightened", and those who haven't read it will have a feast for the eyes.
Considering the above disadvantages and advantages, I still can't forgive it.
