First of all, to commemorate the Jingzi makers who died in the fire, TV Violet Eternal Garden is a very good work, thank them.
Next spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler warning.
The gun version I watched on the Internet, because I watched the gun version, I will watch the movie again after it is launched inland, but not because the theatrical version is so good that I want to watch it again. The whole movie, the picture is extremely slaggy, shaking the black screen shadow walking around, I have endured, 2 hours and 12 minutes, I did not drag a minute and a second to watch it, to be honest, I am a little disappointed.
This theatrical version portrays a lot of unnecessary plots, making some parts of the whole movie seem lengthy and boring, I can say that in addition to the plots of "Kilbet Shozo helped the children on the isolated island to write letters to their dead father", "President Claudia found that Kilbet was recycled and learned that he was alive and his address", "Claudia took Violet to see Kilbet", "Kilbet did not want to see Violet", "Kilbet saw Violet's letter finally opened his heart to Violet, and the two were together", The other episodes are very minor or even unnecessary, and the length of these main episodes seems to be less than 40 minutes.
The plot design of the animated version of Jingzi and the theatrical version should not be the same. The animated version of Kyo-zi is to tell what Violet means in order to understand what Shōzo said to her "I love you" before she died, and let Violet "travel" in the story of people, perceive the feelings between people, outside the space around the Major, in the knowledge that the Major cannot teach, in the feelings of parents and daughters, brothers and sisters, friends and friends, crush and admired, rampage, bumping, carefully, and finally understand how friendship, affection, love arises, how to grow, How to become deep and unforgettable. From the beginning of Violet's indifference to the emotions of others, to the sensitivity, caution and care for the feelings of others later, it is obvious to Jing Zifan. She needed those stories, she needed the nourishment of people's emotions, and finally she finally understood how gentle and deep and heavy Shaoza's "I sincerely love you" was, and she would cover the emerald gem brooch that Shaozuo gave her, and tearfully say, "I finally understand..."
At the end of the anime version, the letter she wrote to Shosa's addressless address also touched me, and I cried once.
"Dear Kilbet Shozo,
Are you okay, don't come unharmed? Where is it now? Are there any worries?
Spring, summer, autumn and winter, the four seasons rotate, and only the season of Shao zuo is delayed.
At first, I didn't understand, I didn't understand Shaosa's intentions at all. However, in the new life that Shaosa had given me, I felt a little bit. Writing letters through ghostwriting, through the people I met, I believed that Shaosa must still be alive somewhere. So I want to, always, always live. Even if you don't know what you will encounter in the future, you must always live.
If I could meet again, I want to tell you that I now understand love. ”
In Shōzo's words, the letter was proof that Violet had "become a veritable person and no longer a tool."
Because of this, I think that the theatrical version of the plot should tell Violet's own story, her own emotions and not anyone else's. Even if it is only to describe in more detail the life of Violet before meeting Shaozuo, Violet's life after meeting Shaozuo, the life and emotional changes after Shaoza's salvation, the plot of Violet and Shaozuo meeting across the door, separating, thinking through and then meeting again, and finally finally together, to dissect and dig out the cocoon" "Violet's feelings for Shaozuo from obedience to reverence to attachment to longing to deep love, Shaoza's feelings for Violet from pity to care to love to love to dare not touch and love because of guilt and shame" This movie can be said to be very complete and touching.
But it didn't. Even added a plot that makes the movie emotionally contradictory, at the end of the movie, Shaozo does not want to see Violet, said harsh words to her, Violet shouted "I will wait here until Shaozo is willing to see me" and then ran out, falling in the rain. Violet and the president are trapped on the island because of heavy rain, when the boy who is dying of illness cannot write to a friend who has been prevented from visiting through Violet (who previously had an appointment), and he has little time left to express his intentions by borrowing the hands of others, so on the phone, he expresses his apologies and love for his friends. Violet knew the ending and said that if Shōzo didn't want to see him, she would kick him in the door and punch him.
I saw this, I was actually very excited, I thought the theme was going to sublimate, this did not come a paragraph Violet immediately returned to the door of Shao zuo, first said the story synopsis of the sick and dead boy, and then her voice mixed with the sound of rain became clearer, "Shao Zuo, the person who will die is also willing to compete with fate for a second, and will tell the loved one with affection", and then kicked the door open, threw Shao Zuo to the ground, tears fell on Shao Zuo's face drop by drop, and asked him, "Why does the living have to build a high wall, block emotions, and never see each other?" I've always wanted to see you, every minute and every second. I want to tell you that I finally understood what you meant by 'I love you', in the new life you gave me. I want to tell you that I love you too. ”
After this, the confession of Shao Zuo was introduced, and the confession of Shao Zuo in the movie was very good after this: "I want to show you a better world, I want to teach you better emotions, not to use you as a weapon, a tool of war, to make you lose your arms, I want to hand the most beautiful thing in the world to you..." This ends with the traditional black screen white characters of Jingzi:
"If your emotions are hard to talk about, the automatic doll will travel to any place wherever you are to help you pass it on"
"But if you can, be brave, go to your friends, family, admirers, lovers, and declare your emotions."
Isn't that nice, good, good?! But when Violet heard of this ending, she gave up meeting with Shōzo and instead wrote a final letter to Shōzo and promised never to bother him again. This is where I cried the hardest. TV Li Violet really missed Shao zuo, at the beginning, she just woke up in the ward and frantically looked for Shao Zuo, two or three episodes in a row, a few words without leaving Shao Zuo. Later, she put her emotions in her heart, and she could see that she cherished this love, but she would still read Shaosa every episode and tell the air what she had learned today. She had always firmly believed that Shao Zuo lived somewhere, had always looked forward to seeing him, and presented the new her in front of him, she did not understand the story he read before, did not understand the connotation of the name he gave her, did not know why he sometimes looked at her deeply, saying words that were not instructions and difficult to understand, she had always longed to pass on her feelings to Shao Zuo now, and she had always lived for it. So when she says she won't ask to see Kilbet again, there's a kind of "if that's your last wish, then I'm willing to comply, and it can be seen that Violet really loves Shozo." But this does not stop me from thinking that this passage is still very bad, because it negates Violet's previous hope of surviving with the belief that Shaozo is still alive and wants to see Shaoza's feelings, and it seems that Kilbet is very cruel and stupid.
Taking a step back, if Violet spent the night writing all these experiences and emotions in the letter, and then Kilbet read the letter to feel the new Violet, the ending could be Kilbet going back, and then going to where Violet worked, laughing and saying to her, "Miss Violet Evergarden, I want to write a letter for my lover, I don't know if I can do it for me", and then Violet replied with a classic quote from the Kyo purple automatic doll. This ending can also be said to be very good.
But the ending is very superficial, Shōzo's brother shot at Shōzo, saying that he would serve as an officer, inherit his father (in fact, he did not want to), let Shōzo do his own thing freely, and then Shōzo read Violet's letter (this letter is not well written, feelings are not fully expressed, not as good as the last one in the animation), after reading it, he rushed to the field and shouted "Violet" to the ship, Violet heard it, jumped into the sea, swam to Kilbet, and listened to Kilbet's confession (it was not good to say, I can't see this expressionlessly) I can't cry.
The most unsatisfactory thing is that Violet and Kilbet stayed on the isolated island for the rest of their lives. Before the old man and shao zuo on the isolated island said, "Many people have not returned from the war, and all that is left here are old women and children, but everyone has been injured in this war, and since you have a place to go back, you should go back to the place where you should go." I should be damned to think that this is a foreshadowing, "go back to your place", my understanding is to go back to the person he loves, Shao zuo, doesn't he want Violet to feel good things and feel good emotions, doesn't he want to do what he wants to do freely, he should first face his past and emotions, his life is not much richer than Violet, follow his father's footsteps, live a military life, his spiritual color is not very rich. Rather than living on an island, a better option for him and Violet would be to travel around, to experience different lives, to meet different people. This was in line with his wishes, and only then did he receive the old man's words.
The most superfluous thing in the whole theatrical version is the plot of the great-granddaughter. The letter Violet wrote to her great-grandmother to her grandmother was indeed touching, but it should be her great-grandmother's love for her grandmother rather than Violet, right? I think the theatrical version is not to grasp the core of the Violet Eternal Garden, tv is obviously very firmly grasped, the core of Jingzi has always been emotion, all kinds of people, all kinds of relationships and all kinds of emotions, rather than the admiration and love of Violet, jingzi's focus point is not Violet but the process of communication between Violet and others and emotions.
In short, the Jingzi Theater version is like a mixture of the lees of many good wines, which can be brewed into fine wine by single-handedly, and only taste sour and bitter.
