Oshii Mori has never been my favorite. Compared with Miyazaki Jun's fresh and innocent, Otomo Keyang's sharp black, Jin Min's jumping and restrained, Xinkaicheng's delicate and beautiful, Oshii's animation is too desperate and too indifferent. Man and machine, man and beast, Oshii's face is expressionless and calm, shattering hopes and fantasies with his hands. This thing is like a wolf This thing is a wolf Thus, it is a thing to be banished at the beginning of the film, a few old-fashioned pictures, the mushroom cloud of the atomic bomb, the ruins after the war. . . I think this may be the real reproduction after Japan was bombed, and there is a picture of the capital police killing Jituo. The director used a special way to show it, similar to taking pictures, a flash of capture and turn back The masked face. Oshii's animation style is quite satisfactory, showing a real beauty, which makes Man Wolf not like an animated film, but more like a real-life film. And it was under the influence of this feeling that I walked into the human wolf and into the cruel and desperate world that Oshii created for us. Let's briefly introduce the plot first: a post-war country that has been hit hard, all kinds of contradictions are sharp, and several forces are intertwined. The Capital Police Mobile Team (hereinafter referred to as the Capital Police) is a powerful army subordinate to the state to suppress violent conflicts; the autonomous police, although also subordinate to the government, do not have the equipment and capabilities of the Capital Police; Jituo, an anti-government organization, uses Various methods are used to attack the government. "Little Red Riding Hood" is the name for a specific group of people in this organization; while the wolf is the most mysterious and unknown political force. During a mission to encircle and destroy Jituo, the capital policeman Afu encountered a girl, Achuan, who was carrying a bomb. He hesitated for a while to give the girl a chance to commit suicide. Afu was dismissed from his post and sent back to the training camp. During this period, Afu met Achuan's sister, Kyu, and developed feelings for him. However, things are not so simple. Is Gui really Afu's sister? And does Afu really know nothing about the conspiracy? Only one of human nature and animal nature can exist, and the end is already doomed. Humans are half angels and half devils. - The first encounter between Feuerbach's Metropolitan Police and Jato took place in the underground pipeline. Amidst the gunshots, the members of Jituo fell one by one, and the blood gushing out had a taste of Quentin. Oshii uses animation to show his restrained violent aesthetics, and the dark red of the blockbuster truly presents death in front of our eyes. Ten minutes into the movie, after Achuan discovered the capital police, he fled in the underground pipeline. The surroundings were dark, and the exit was in the distance, with a swaying bright light. Is this the first hope that Oshii gave us? The answer is no. Hope turned to despair when the Metropolitan Police showed up. After the encirclement and suppression operation, the dialogue between the top police officers in the capital led to two basic concepts of the film. Little Red Riding Hood means "not ordinary criminals, nor impulsive young men who rely solely on violence, but a group of people with strong willpower, who use any vile means to achieve their goals, and don't think they are wrong at all." Of course, in fact, with Like real life, this is just an official statement. Through these words, it is not difficult to see that the so-called Little Red Riding Hood refers to female rebels. The human wolf is a "spies and a scavenger hunt." When Afu was under scrutiny for the bomb incident, he was asked, "Why didn't you shoot?" Afu's answer was "I don't know." At this time, Afu was facing When life passes away, there is still confusion and even some self-blame. The first time Afu and Kyu met, the background music was so quiet and enchanting, Oshii also gave us such a peaceful and serene picture, the light wind, birds, and rivers. However, this warmth was so short-lived and fleeting. On the one hand, there is a warm meeting, and on the other hand, there is a cold exercise. In the space that Oshii created for us, the unusually coordinated and calm parallel. "All stories of beasts and human beings intercourse must end in misfortune. Beasts have stories of beasts!" The story of Little Red Riding Hood in the monologue begins the first part. A Fu and the girl were together, they climbed the high-rise building together and looked into the distance, the moment Gui ran over to pick up the fallen child, A Chuan's eyes turned into a bloody wolf-eating scene, "You shouldn't "Here!" Gui fell in a pool of blood, with a broken body and clear eyes, the wolf in front of him is so familiar, is it under the wolf's mouth or the man's gun? ! This part is the first time a wolf appears in the film. From this moment on, the return of the bestiality has been unstoppable. There is a savage beast in the human soul. ——The plot after Schopenhauer took a turn. It turned out that everything about Kyu was a conspiracy that had been planned, and her appearance was the tomb dug by the autonomous police for the capital police. After Afu rescued Kyu, the two passed through the underground pipe where Achuan detonated the bomb. Afu had no feeling, not even the slightest hesitation, as if nothing had happened. Seeing this, we not only asked ourselves, when did Afu become so cold-blooded? Can't find the answer, the fall of the heart has already taken shape, we can't even find the beginning, maybe, it didn't start? ! At this moment, we found that Oshii had already deceived us, before we realized it. All the weapons in the film are so real, even the barrels are not fake in the slightest. Such realism is also Oshii's secret treasure to capture people's hearts. Afu and Gui stepped on the roof for the second time. After Gui confessed everything, Afu said, "Not as good as us..." but immediately denied himself "that is impossible." So far, the story of Afu and Gui is no longer possible. There may be a little bit of hope in my heart, but it is finally overwhelmed by reality. The girl's tears buried her own fantasy, and also buried our last hope. Maybe there is no possibility. The members of the Human Wolf Organization meet with Afu. The way they move and even their cold eyes seem familiar. Yes, they are the wolves in Afu's dream. Humans and wolves are completely overlapped. It is expected that blood and death are the inevitable fate, and Oshii has never given any possibility of life. Deception and anti-deception, the girl's deception is passive, but Afu's deception is active. Afu wearing a mask is like a man in wolf's skin, or even, Afu just restored his original face, the wolf in human skin in Little Red Riding Hood. We can't see Afu's expression when he's wearing a battle uniform, can he be a little shaken in his heart? I think it must not be, the ruthlessness has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and the animal nature has long been immersed in the soul. Man is a mixture of human and animal nature. - The Floyd killing begins. Stories are written by wolves, so what is human nature? Either it has been destroyed without trace, or it has never existed at all. Fukasaku Shinji's battle royale shows the weakness and evil of human nature, but this premise is that his own survival is threatened. But Oshii was even more cruel. He was calm, revealing that human beings were biting each other like wolves without a trace, and the occasional flash of warmth seemed to be just an illusion. In the end, Oshii still had to dig out people's blood, "Do you want to run away from the pack and go to the world of people? However, even if you put on human skin and survive beside people, wolves can never become human." All need to have an ending. "Mom, why are your ears so big?" "Mom, why are your eyes so bright?" "Mom, why are your nails so long?" "Mom, why are your teeth so sharp?" Little Red Riding Hood's crying and questioning couldn't help Stop the original animal nature, and finally "the wolf ate Little Red Riding Hood!" When I remembered the music at the end, tears flowed uncontrollably, not moved, not disappointed, just heavy depression, unable to breathe. What Qing Yinqian sings is that liberation is suffocation, and it is the humanity that completely collapsed in Oshii's heart. In the depths of hundreds of flowers, that which has disappeared once was so beautiful, but in Oshii's world, truth and love are doomed to disillusionment from birth.
