Under One Man, 1416th analytical essay
I have been writing the analysis of this work for several years, and for the first time I have written a recommendation for it so solemnly, please note that I am mainly promoting the "Under One Man" manga here, not anime.
| introduction to the "Under One Man" comic
"Under One Man" comic is another masterpiece by cartoonist Mi Er after the comic strips "Big Love Alien" and "Nine Nine Eighty-One", this comic tells the story of a amnesiac sister named Feng Baobao looking for her family.
This work focuses on many elements such as fantasy, suspense, reasoning, urbanity, funny, etc., in addition, the author has moved the elements of humanistic anecdotes, myths and legends, and classic masterpieces in many countries and regions at home and abroad to the work, and at the same time, unlimited peddling suspense is the biggest feature of this work, of course, fine character shaping is also its best play.
No nonsense, here's a formal reason for recommendation:
The reason for recommendation is | increase knowledge
As mentioned earlier, the author has moved a lot of messy elements from tiannanhaibei and then integrated into the work, and there are actually not many original things in the cultural elements in this work, but it must be admitted that the stitching is very good, and it does help the audience to increase their knowledge.
For example, domestic culture:
炁 is a Taoist symbol, a noun that defines energy;
The Wind Queen Qimen in the Eight Wonders corresponds to the legendary Qimen Hidden Armor created by the Nine Heavenly Genie;
The Source Stream of the Eight Wonders is a book written by the True Dragon Gate Sect's Mi Jingzi Dao Commander;
The explanation of the comic strip Is from the Qing Dynasty Taoist monk Liu Yiming's "Journey to the West";
The above are some of the cultural elements that are easily recognized by the general audience as original, in addition to the work also quotes some domestic cultures that everyone has heard of at least, such as:
Xiangxi exorcism, Miaojiang poison, Northeast Ma Xian, Quanzhen who majored in Neidan, Zhengyi who majored in fu seal, Shangqing who majored in fu seal, Tang Men who majored in dark weapons and poison, Wudang who believed in Zhenwu Emperor, Lingyin Temple, one of the four famous temples, "all-sex" of Yang Zhu School, Zhang Boduan, the demon monk Daoyan, Huang Yueying, Zhuge Liang...
After briefly talking about some of the domestic cultures involved in the work, we will talk about the imported culture involved in the work:
The hero Ron in Behemoth in the Nathan Island chapter is obviously based on the Marvel hero Captain America; the lizard-like butcher on Nathan Island and the SP warrior in Behemoth are obviously referenced to the biochemical warriors in European and American films;
The runes used by Gusta in verse 24 are the runes of the Norse Rune sect; at the same time, there are also imported cultures such as the Rambling Witch and Indian Yoga in that episode.
Luo Tianda's old headmaster who came to Dragon Tiger Mountain to find Zhang Zhiwei was obviously based on Dumbledore in Harry Potter, and the old headmaster Isaac. The academy to which Taber belonged was called Flamel College, and the ancestor of alchemy in Europe was called Nicholas Flamel;
The Yingtai that appeared in the Battle of Mianshan obviously coincided with the famous sword system in "One Piece"; the chicken rabbit monkey that appeared was obviously the story of Kintaro and Momotaro that appeared; and finally the author moved the Japanese ninjas, yin and yang techniques, and style gods all in one brain, and what "moon double horns" and "new yin streams" were all imported from the island country.
The above all-encompassing knowledge points are just a general introduction to where I want to talk about wherever I want, although these things do not seem to be the original of "Under One Man", but the integration with the work itself is still quite silky and indeed advanced, and it does make the audience grow knowledge.
Reason two to recommend | test your comprehensive ability
A: Imagination
I often say in my articles that how wonderful this work is depends on the audience's own imagination, because the author is peddling suspense without limits:
What is the case with rootlessness? What is the situation of Baby Feng? What is the situation with Tianshidu? Perhaps the author did not set these answers to death, the audience can rely on their own understanding of the comic, combined with their own knowledge reserves, knowledge reserves, three views of cognition, comprehension ability and other elements, to make an extended, divergent speculation.
There is no need to deliberately think about what the author thinks, because imagination is untethered, this is a liberal arts question, there will not be only one answer, maybe your answer is more exciting than the official answer.
B: Logical analysis
As I said above, there will not be only one answer to many suspense, such as today's Mi Er wants to go back to Tianjin, do you say he wants to walk home or take the bus? Taxi? drive? By train? Flying? By steamboat?
Obviously, he has many choices but in the end he can only choose one, but we can analyze many hypothetical situations for him.
To take another simple example, when Wang Guoping and Barron are on the first moment, we should know that Wang Guoping will not be so easily defeated, because his strength must be heavily shaped, and the ups and downs of the plot are enough to catch people's attention.
If the above view has become an established fact, then we can also foresee that Wang Guoping will undoubtedly die, because this is the logic of values, the logic of justice and evil, the logic of wanting to promote first, the logic of Wang Guoping's value, and many logics point to one thing: Wang Guoping can die.
C: Observation
I have written more than a thousand articles about "Under One Man", and it can be said that I will go to the comic every day, and I belong to the time when I read and think about it every day, but Rao is so, a lot of details are not used when the interval is longer, and I also have a time to fork.
Obviously, this is a very brain-burning comic, the work itself has loopholes and flaws, such as typos are extremely common, such as Wang and a moment to call Wang Cai Grandpa a moment to call Grandpa Tai, such as Tang Miaoxing Zhang Wang Tang Qiushan was not these three names at the beginning, and for example, Zhang Zhiwei in the same period did not look the same before and after, and dou Ruchang was a second boss for a while and became a three dang family for a while.
Unfamiliar with comics or not keenly observed, these things are obviously invisible.
Of course, in addition to the flaws, what should be observed is naturally the plot details themselves, such as:
How many people will refer to Zhuge Qing's analysis and then think that the love between Chen Duo and Liao Zhong is between men and women?
How many people would think that Barron would have devoured the upper root organ?
How many people would think that Nguyen Fung is really a dish?
Obviously, many details can show that there is no love between Chen Duo and Liao Zhong; Barron will not swallow the root organ; Ruan Feng is really strong!
Reason three for recommendation| this is a comic about "human nature"
The vast majority of fans of this work are adults, most of the audiences in this part of the age group from their twenties to their thirties, and the audience of this age group has a certain life experience and has enough knowledge reserves, has a relatively mature understanding ability, and can always find a lot of resonance in the work about "human nature" in this section.
Feng Baobao, Zhang Chulan, Zhang Huaiyi, Zhang Zhiwei, Wu Gensheng, Liang Ting, Wu Man, Tang Miaoxing, Ruan Feng, Barun, Tang Men Ten Elders, Wang Wei, Lü Ci, Wei Shufen, Xiao Zizi, Wang Ye, Wang Zhenqiu, Mei Jinfeng, Xia Liuqing, Ma Xianhong...
Each character has its own life, each character's life interprets a character, life attitude, good and evil beauty and ugliness, human nature is diverse, "Under One Man" uses a lifelike character and a thought-provoking story, giving the audience an opportunity to explore human nature in depth, perhaps human nature distortion or human brilliance!
