The war seen from the holy star of Milos

The manga version is over, the FA is over, and now that the theatrical version is over, it is inevitable that I feel a little lost.

Is the era of steelmaking coming to an end?

The mentality of watching Shengxing now is completely different from watching FA and comics back then.

In the past, what was valued was the bond between Aide and Al, the guardianship of Yao Lin and Lan Fang, and in general, it was the simplest but most firm emotion between people. At that time, I felt that the world of two-dimensional There is only one villain in it, and the world can be restored to peace and beauty by defeating that villain. The two-dimensional world is so simple.

Looking at the holy star now, what I see is not only these, but also the disaster caused by the excessive desire of human beings. War and death, the contradiction between countries is still the contradiction between the people who run the country, and which of these contradictions are not caused by desire?

The Sage's Stone and the Blood Star are actually the products of human desires. If you want to gain powerful power, you must pay the souls or blood of countless people. In the real world, the Holy Star is actually a war, right? The victors of the war gain strength, and the losers become the cornerstones, building the road to the throne.

In fact, I don’t want to talk too much about the practical significance of steelmaking. In the original work, the sins committed by human beings manipulated by artificial humans can be understood as being manipulated by human beings’ own desires, but I have no way to use this theory to explain the ending, the villain. The world peace exchanged by the protagonist is understood in reality as human beings effectively controlling their desires and ushering in a beautiful world?

Can humans control their own desires?

We have been educated to be beaten since we were young, because we know very well that the strong will never have restraint and will show no mercy to the weak. Of course, the subject of discussion here is not the individual but the country. I don't want to admit that sex is evil, and I know that individuals still have a good side. But the war happened. Now Syria is still in civil strife. Compared with the real war, Milos's independence war is too light. Milos has the protection of the protagonist, but who can protect Syria?

Now I'm sitting at home in peace and typing out this text, the war is only happening to our compatriots, and Syria is just stuff to fill in the text, which makes me feel very scared, because this matter seems to be too far away from us. Far away, we can only see the so-called war and bloodshed in the second dimension, no one expects bloodshed, but it just happened, we have seen so many anti-war films, it can be said that the holy star is also considered, but the decision to war But not us ordinary people.

So what are we ordinary people to do?

    (7/10) An episode full of clichés and various stereotyped plots, which is much worse than "The Conqueror of Shambhala". I think it's the first time I've seen an action movie...

    The style of hair and clothing draws on the style of Uncle Hayao Miyazaki in the early days; the whole story is not very good, screenwriter-san~ You can see at a glance at the strange map and urban design that it is a perfection, right? The so-called brother who escaped from prison is too pretentious and the Werewolf's Ichigo knows that he is a bad person~ Don't waste steel making a good theme, grave egg~

Fullmetal Alchemist: The Sacred Star of Milos quotes

  • Roy Mustang: By the way Fullmetal, that wasn't a human transmutaion was it?

    Edward Elric: He didn't die. Julia restored him from the tiny bit of life he had remaining, using the Star of Blood and her own body.

    Roy Mustang: I see. Life that has been lost cannot be brought back. That very truth is what shows us the meaning and value of living.

  • Lt. Colonel Herschel: The Star is born. It's finally time to bury this loathsome valley forever. We're standing on the edge of a new world. Alright, Graz, blow the tunnel!

    Graz: Right, initializing the explosion.
