We have not yet despaired
. It is like yin and yang and the five elements are mutually reinforcing. We believed so, as if that was the cost of our lives.
So we are not in despair.
So the monster dormant in the heart raised his face with a smile. He said, only me, and no one can be strictly fortified.
"That's what they tell the story. 』
For the sake of peace of mind, the young and promising doctor was willing to give up his splendid future to save a young man. There were various twists and turns. Many years later, the child of that year appeared in front of him, and smiled gently: "Long time no see, doctor."
This seems to be the whole of success. China was also touched by the same, and the audience applauded and left the stage.
Then suddenly, a gunshot burst into the air. The story of "MONSTER" has just begun.
Physician Tianma Xiansan embarked on a journey to follow in the footsteps of the child he saved back then. On the way, all kinds of faces passed by, and there were many dangerous storms. He had seen with his own eyes how so many lives were wiped out by the child's light wave of his hand, and the desperation of being out of fear forced him to almost collapse on the way. With the pursuit of the origin of the monster, secrets and memories full of fishy smells follow one after another. In the end, after a brutal battle royale-like killing, all the mysteries were revealed, and then, it was an imperfect happy ending, and the story did not go there.
Such a simple description can't make people feel the dark and turbulent directing from the picture to the heart. It's hard to sum up the impression of "MONSTER" in one word. To say that this is a story about love and justice is to deceive oneself too pale, and it is difficult to support such a huge out-of-context just by giving a "thriller" or "suspense" label. It can only be said that the first half of the story is a mystery, and the second half of the story is a lie. The people in the story each decided to break free from an overwhelming fear, but finally saw a warm opening. Then he said, the most terrifying thing is just imagining.
All the despair we can or cannot imagine is laid out from the beginning of this story. The deepest darkness is not the tragic blood smeared on weeds, but the flick of a finger, the world hanging upside down while talking and laughing, the annihilation of the last ray of light in the eyes of those who witnessed it. The weakest person can turn into the craziest thug overnight, and the warmest moment can be the prelude to the bloody storm in an instant. John is a monster, and so are everyone else. When the filthy and vulnerable place in the heart is slapped nonchalantly, suicide or murder becomes the only problem. The sadness is greater than the death of the heart, and the heart is such a vulnerable thing. A hint, a glance, can make the monster scum in the closed heart rise. However, the heart is such a strong thing, a touch of tenderness, a candle of firefly, can rekindle a soft light in the pupils of the heart that are like ashes. Therefore, we need people like Tianma. He does not need to be perfect or tenacious, but he can hold the soul that is about to cool in the darkest moment, and tell us that there must be hope in this world.
"Human life is inherently unequal." The words that Ava slammed down at the beginning of the story were stuck in her throat. We have been speechless with Tianma for so long, then at the end of the trip, who can't shake his head in tears. So even if we can't ignore the heart-wrenchingly bitter scenes, we can lift our heads and raise our eyebrows. Everyone is born in anticipation, and there must be people who want you to live. We gratefully believe what the man said.
"What about the storyteller? 』
Urzawa is a scheming person, which was to be expected from the beginning. He can use the repetition of a monotonous scene to make us, who are thousands of miles away, hear the heartbeat stop for a beat, and can also use a seemingly insignificant detail to make us suddenly burst into tears after turning over many pages. Tianma's choice seems to come naturally, like a straight one-way street, but the stern supporting characters in the middle or the tricks that only appear once or twice and then leave it alone can bring our eyes into one bottomless valley after another. . For example, at the beginning of the opening, Dr. Baker's almost annoying face and casual lines made people wonder if he was another Tianma Xiansan when he was in his prime; policeman Shuke stood in the crowded The expression on his face when he was outside the group of reporters was as if he was returning to the light of ten years ago; the Lenke detective, who had been entangled all the way, remained silent in the face of the photo of his wife and daughter who had just left, and the backlight washed his motionless face; the old servant The soldiers' tears and the girl's smile, the last cigarette on the corner of Manla's mouth, Petra's Hungarian beef stew, they struggled to tell the goodness of human nature, as if Pu Ze had picked up a few rays of light at random, and seemed to grasp the crucial moment. The situation, so that the story will not fall into the abyss.
"What has been done will be done again in the future", Urasawa Naoki used a casual sketch to outline countless possibilities and then abandoned them one by one, leaving a blank dialog box, dazzling Tianma's journey. Grinding the edges, winding all the way unpredictably.
"Those unknown or known branches. 』
Compared to the end of the comics, the journey of animation still has a long way to go. Giving life to such a grandiose line is no easy task, but adding the icing on the cake is even more difficult. In the TV version, the original picture is more faithfully restored, and the color uses a grayish dark color, which sets an unclear tone for the whole picture. This kind of setting, combined with the excellent music, makes room for the depressing and slightly creepy atmosphere in "MONSTER". Especially worth mentioning is the design of the final part of the film, the tune is humming gently and slowly, and the slowly emerging picture is the clue in the original work - the picture book "Monster without a Name", the slightly blurred treatment makes people feel like a world away. The hazy feeling, as if recalling a distant and obscure dream of childhood. For the animation with the original Zhuyu in front, such a unique design is also considered a little brilliant.
"Although I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will not be afraid of harm, because you are with me, and your rod and your rod comfort me." There are such words in the "Bible", "MONSTER" wants to say That's it. It took us to trek through thousands of mountains and rivers, holding our breath, as if we were walking through a desperate situation with high mountains and low clouds, but we were able to keep walking and praying, and finally saw the never homeland described in the whispers.
Please show me hope. Because I'm not desperate yet.
