A Whimsical World Changed by a Dog

I spent a day watching Jin Min's animation and wrote down my current feelings.

Jin Min relies on this animation to express too many things, and it is difficult to gather all the details of the movie for a while, and only talk about the three protagonists of the story.

Team leader, the stagnant oriental feeling is a baseball boy trapped in his heart. So in the end, he indulged in a fantasy world, where there was no technological crime, and no psychopaths distorted by development. It was not so much a memory as a morbid imagination of the previous generation's nostalgia for the times. Fortunately, his wife pulled it out. In a memory guided by his wife, he said: "This is just escapism, and this kind of relief can deceive myself." The team leader defeated his inner demon and smashed his own fantasy world with his own hands. After the victory, he said to the city: "It's like after the war." This kind of doomsday feeling is not exactly like those who experienced World War II. Japanese?

Ma Ting, the fantasy of heroic feelings. I remember that Ma Ting once said in one episode, "Team leader, don't forget, I'm also a young man." Ma Ting is a young policeman who can follow the imagination of game madmen, and he is also the Radar Superman who later defeated the baseball boy. In terms of his character, he likes Western style very much. To be exact, he looks like an American hero. Therefore, I infer that Ma Tingdai refers to the Japanese after World War II. At the end of the play, Ma Ting wrote the formula on the ground with a horrified expression. , Maybe it's Jin Min's irony of himself?

Satsuki, a collection of gentle and cute Marumi and a violent and sick baseball boy. No matter how many details the story breeds, the main line still revolves around Satsuki. I secretly think that this character is set as a general individual with a mix of Eastern and Western cultures, both subtle and tender in Japanese culture, and nourished by Western culture at the heart, and the prototype of this entangled body does not really want the current Japanese teenagers, or Do you mean oriental boy?

The real origin of the story comes from the death of a dog ten years ago. The amplification of the butterfly effect and the mix of many psychological problems make this animation very complicated, and some of my ideas are just wishful speculation. After all, the story The previous paragraphs of the book are constantly deriving details. Maybe a sentence says "I comment on the six classics, but in fact the six classics comment on me", the author's expression is what I mean, haha.

    The script is so good, it should be said that it did not reach the delicacy and delicacy of Jin Min's other animated feature films, which is very regrettable. Ukiyo-e-style character drawing, everyone uses the juvenile bat as a delusional collective agent to escape their own incompetence. A very good case of social mind/intermentality. The self-reflection in Chapter 10 is too naughty! I don't like the music, I don't like the tone, and the characters

    Exhausting the expressions of animation and TV, the narrative is exquisite, the imagination is flying, and even the OP and ED are very deep and shocking. The core is a chilling introspection—anti-healing, almost disgusting (particularly sharp) about the way Guemo’s self-healing retreats. There is no going back to being human, and all the comfort of finding comfort zones is in vain. The captain's words at the end are a pain in the skin.
