Forever pure and kind-hearted two-dimensional world

What is the price of eternal life? I remember that "Soul Ferry" tells a story of immortality: during the Republic of China, prostitute A was a famous generation of prostitutes at that time, and had a fatal attraction to men. B was the accountant of the Revolutionary Party in the province at that time and was responsible for keeping the Revolutionary Party’s revolutionary funds. After an accidental encounter, B's love for A was deeply rooted and could not extricate himself, so he used revolutionary funds to redeem A for A, and bought a big house to live a happy life. In order to be able to stay together forever, A and B bought Tai Sui, who is said to be able to live forever, from the mysterious man. But there is a price for immortality. Everyone will have different changes after taking Tai Sui, and no one knows what this change is before taking it. A magical thing happened after the two of them took Tai Sui at the same time: B became A and became a woman exactly like A. He will live forever in this form; A has become a monster who needs to constantly absorb others’ positive life. If you don't smoke for a day, your appearance will fester, extremely ugly. In order to prevent B from seeing his ugly appearance, A left B and started a life of wandering to absorb others' positive life. Is it ironic that the two choose eternal life in order to be together forever, but the price of eternal life is not to be together. Such immortality, being immortal, is actually a kind of punishment in disguised form, punishing two people for their greed, allowing them to lick their wounds alone in desperate, endless time.

"The Wine of Eternal Life" also talks about eternal life, but it doesn't seem to talk about the cost of eternal life. Although human greed has caused a lot of killings, this is not only the case of immortality, any huge profits will cause plunder and killings. This drama is more concerned about the impact on life after immortality: Maiza is the only person who knows how to configure the wine of immortality, and was relentlessly hunted down by Szilard, and his brother and many others were brutally murdered; Szilard wanted to obtain the wine of immortality. Secretly, while hunting down Maiza, he began to develop a secret recipe for the wine of immortality, and made many artificial people to sell his lives for him; after Czeslaw Meyer and his brother drank the wine of immortality at the same time, the brother began to tortured him in various ways. Test the limits of immortality. After Meyer had to devour his brother, he began to distrust others, and began to devour other undead people. Because in his eyes, if you don't swallow other undead people, you will be swallowed by them sooner or later. Everyone's life is completely unrecognizable because of immortality.

But after reading it, I still feel that this is a warm story, maybe the second dimension is really "standing in the center of the universe calling for love". Elmer fell into the sea and was almost drowned. The wish he made to the devil turned out to be to let the devil stay with Maiza to make up for the pain of losing his brother until Maiza smiled again. Isaac and Miria, two idiot couples, strange thief, smile every day without any worries. Although the things they do are funny, they are motivated by love. The two were so simple and kind to speculate on anyone with the utmost goodwill. The almost dry-hearted Czeslaw Meyer felt the warmth of human nature, and the robot Ennis began to betray his "father". It can be said that these two talents are the biggest highlight of the film, and they are also the warmest and most touching part of the film. What's commendable is that after the two realized that they would never grow old, their first reaction turned out to be "We will be born again every day, and every day is our birthday, ah, it's so beautiful." What an optimistic two people.

After watching this film, I realized that children who are addicted to the second dimension are good children, and they are pure and kind-hearted young people. Recommend~

    12 episodes are abandoned, bad stories are bad stories after all, even if you pay tribute to the classics everywhere, disrupting the narrative structure and time and space will not make up for the inner void and boring, and the character creation is also very lackluster.
