The old and new versions have a variety of different details, thus shaping the different personalities of Shinji, and the ideological core conveyed to the audience is also completely different. The most prominent is the battle of becoming a god of the first machine.
In fact, the old TV Shinji just thought that driving the first machine was his only value, and it was what everyone wanted. After seeing Ayanami and Asuka losing one after another, he realized that if he didn't drive the first machine, then wait. All mankind has only perished, the fear of self-blame pain after escape and the desire to realize self-worth become the driving force of his battle.
In "Broken", Shinji's character is actually more frank. He can take the initiative to approach Ayanami, and no longer close himself with headphones all the time. There is a detail in the bustling new Tokyo city. Shinji met on the way to school. With his two friends, he who had a heavy expression and earphones smiled and took off the earphones. This is Shinji in the new theatrical version. He no longer hides himself for fear of hurting others and himself. It is trying to reach out to others. He makes lunch boxes for Ayanami and has more frequent play with friends. The new theater portrays such a more frank Shinji.
And it is only with such a frank Shinji that she can slowly shape her original nihilistic self for Ayanami. Ayanami has an ego because of Shinji, and Shinji also has the value of not only driving the first machine because of Ayanami, and the two gradually interact with each other. There is a bond, and it is this bond that makes the old tv and "Broken" in the spiritual premise of Shinji's first machine to become a god completely different, although there is still doubt about self-worth and hatred for his father's use of himself, Shinji On the surface, the reason for the re-fight is to save all mankind, and he is afraid that the result of escaping will be the demise of mankind, but in fact, in the new theatrical version, he is more to save the bond with Ayanami, to fight for himself, not to avoid it. To disgust others, fight against others.
The ruffian has implanted the different spiritual cores of the old and new eras in the old and new versions of the battle of becoming a god. The old TV recognized himself by letting the audience substitute for Shinji, and knew his cowardice and incompetence. He is such a person, only in interpersonal communication. Constantly catering to others, thinking that the praise and recognition of others is the value of self-existence, but we lose our true self, but we don’t want to keep ourselves, because then we will lose friendship, love, work, and everything. , so we can only blindly please and live as others expect. The battle of becoming a god of old TV is quite socially alert.
But the ruffian uses "Broken" to wake up the audience bluntly, he is not the only self-worth in the eyes of others, he can choose his own self-worth, and Shinji, who has always been considered a waste material, can boldly pursue the constant fetters with Ayanami. , Breaking through the wall of the heart with the body of a mortal, what will happen to the world, what will happen to himself, and what will others think, Shinji just wants to rescue Ayanami. In reality, why can't we abandon all ties in pursuit of ideals?
