In fact, if this work is viewed as a violent horror movie, an action movie, a gangster movie, a crossover series, and a potpourri of handsome guys and beautiful women, it will definitely be disappointing. Because these are actually a cover. Like metal music that many people can’t accept, people complain all day that the madmen roar is noise. In fact, if you can reach that level of appreciation, you will find that a lot of violence is just a display. You will be a beautiful guitar. Moved by the melody and thoughtful lyrics.
Many people commented on the film’s storytelling as soon as it came up. In fact, I really don’t see too much, the technique is a form of expression. Since I watch the animation to get the truth and knowledge that inspires me from the work, I will penetrate this shell and rush into its heart. So I don't want to write everything about the structure of the story. This kind of thing should not be argued, and it is meaningless to argue.
When we are still worrying about the super-god killing of the railroad tracker and Ladd, we should think about it. In fact, among the most killing trains in this work, except for Tony (the one who died before the start of the car should not be counted), Those who died were people who should have died. Our blood just fell on the devil, not indiscriminately killing the innocent. What we see is the gleaming human nature behind these perversions, as well as the kind of optimism and positive thinking about human society. The whole work has been carried out for thousands of years, still expressing "good for good, evil for evil" and ended in a happy ending that was despised by many pseudo-literary and artistic youths. However, after watching this work, I don't hate such clichés. I don't want to have sad, painful, and depressive BAD ENDING in every work I see. Our world is indeed cruel, but no one can avoid this cruelty. Can we choose to fight optimistically instead of pessimistically degenerate?
I don't know what other people's motives are for collecting some black incident information. Some people in order to satisfy his hobbies of supernatural terror, some people in order to stimulate pastime. Regarding the Nazi concentration camps, the Ripper, Manson, or Crystal Lake, I learned about them and collected them so that I can generate thoughts about society and humanity from them, and I can derive some from these thoughts. Things and be inspired and influenced.
In addition, this work unexpectedly made me feel a little bit about the origin of metal music. When you, as a socially squeezed group of workers, work day after day in an industrial city that is always polluted by noise and air, wearing your work clothes that can be taken off for alchemy, you are plagued by occupational diseases such as pneumoconiosis every day. You have not relaxed at all. In the face of the habitually bad life, you will have all kinds of complaints, whether it is dissatisfaction with treatment, dissatisfaction with government policies, or even fights between workers. Your parents are workers, your wife is also a worker, and your children can only be workers in the future. You are faced with a sad and helpless situation and pressure. You are crazy, you twitch, you rant, you go crazy. What if you want to get angry but get angry? What can you do if you vent your violence? In the West, where the guitar is a national musical instrument, when a few whistling workers are bored to pass the time with musical instruments in their leisure time, people will naturally use this popular entertainment and leisure means to vent themselves. Art comes from life, and they suddenly thought of adding metal friction and percussive sound at work to their musical instruments. They use this noise that they have become accustomed to together with their grumbling and thinking about life's fate as lyrics. More and more people came to see what happened. More and more people like this way of venting. They feel more and more confident, they start to perform everywhere, and people go crazy about it. This is the birth of metal music. Metal music is not born out of the stone by the original ancestor character, but is slowly accumulated in the lives of the people. However, "BACCANO!" didn't want to tell me what happened to metal music, it was just my own thinking that was influenced by some of the content.
At the end, I will say something else. This work is one of the few animations that can stand close to the height of "Star Cowboy" in recent years. Of course, since the animation was filmed from light novels, the original authors accounted for a large part of the credit, but Ryogo Narita is also very good. I hope this kind of work can be more, because it is not commercial for business, it has given me a lot of useful things.
