How will you choose your path?

How will you choose your path?

The movie is like the protagonist's life is a game-playing process called "mind game", at every crucial moment, his inner experience is drawn.

After being killed by a rogue tavern riot, we see (the author imagines) the world after death. God said to him, yes, he created you with all his might and made you suffer such a joke-like life. Is there any problem? What an irresponsible god... This may be the author's understanding of the impermanence of life. Unbearable and only acceptable.

This blow followed him all the time, falling into the belly of the whale, rushing to the exit countless times before being swept back by the big waves. The senior who had fallen in for 30 years told him that if he couldn't get out, it's better to enjoy the life here. It's actually self-deception. Behind his dazzling collection are the fears and struggles of the past. Maybe this is not the case, you can't choose the life you want, you have to try your best to have fun in the current environment.

When people are so depressed and lost, they need a little happiness to change their mood. In the darkness without borders, the four people danced like they had taken medicine, like gorgeous flowers.

But the protagonist doesn't seem to be a coward. He can disobey God's instructions and race against fear. It's a fight between man and God! Miraculously, he returned to his body from the gate of hell, and left the crime scene with his friends. Different from the previous timid and cowardly performance, is this really the power that people have experienced after life and death?

After challenging the mouth of the whale for the last time, the boats were all scattered, the bones were broken, and they were still running. The little dinosaurs were carried and pulled by people. Ultraman superman was all possessed and escaped the tank. Aircraft carriers, planes... Then I saw the familiar Osaka. Those everyday lives, the blue sky and the sun, are so precious and real. At that moment, he saw that there are so many possibilities in life, that there are so many unfulfilled dreams waiting for them to do, and seeing the memories of so many lives experienced in this world, he suddenly thought of what the Diamond Sutra says, Form is not form, form is emptiness.

This is the mind game.

    Probably the first animated feature film directed (supervised) by Masaaki Yuasa, Marvelous & Spectacular & Mindblowing! ! ! Yuasa has amazing talent and energy in the expansion and command area! Narration without scruples and restraint, smooth, rhythmic, dynamic, light, heavy, slow, urgent, the eighteen weapons that achieve such expressiveness are all powerful! Moreover, for a narrator who walks in a vast space, he has achieved a more difficult balance, and the content expressed seems to be a natural whole, a huge concrete organic whole, with everything we call it The beautiful attributes of youth! The fusion of the two is a master! At the end of 2017, due to the chance encounter "The Spring Night is too short, girls go forward!" " while focusing on Yuasa, I didn't think that his early works had already explored the field and took into account the balance, and even dared not think that "debut is the pinnacle" is just a threshold for Yuasa, and his works more than ten years later are in good condition. Simply perfect! What kind of person is he!

It's one huge melting pot! See, it's not about success, dying in the streets, who's better, who's not! I just want to be a part of it! I realized that even if I've no connections, no talent, even if I'm one big loser, I want to use my hands and feet to think and move, to shape my own life! We can just die here or we can try, see what we've got!
