Nowadays, the lonely economy has been repeatedly mentioned, the data shows that there are nearly 100 million people living alone, and the economic base determines the superstructure, but human beings are social animals from a physiological point of view, love is just needed by ordinary human beings, and the needs of gene fusion and reproduction are already doomed when God created man.
I have longed for a beautiful pure love, a beautiful vision of love, a desire for the physical exploration of the opposite sex, from physical to psychological, alas, is sex really the core driving force for human progress?
Until I met Imatoshi, this strange Japanese animation director really made me feel too many different things, that kind of transcendent audiovisual experience, that kind of ethereal aesthetic deeply attracted me, I was simply moved to cry, surprised that the world has such a wonderful existence, yes, this existence alone makes me cry, the bottom life is so scrupulous, through the experience of Imatoshi's animated life, your narcissistic complex will rise sharply, the important thing is to feel the transcendental divinity.
The first thing that shocked me was the first chapter in the "Memories Trilogy", "The Memories of the Other Woman" / (her memories), which simply had a huge impact on my three views, and the ethereal and cold aesthetics created by the animation were really amazing.
"Memories Trilogy" was originally an animated film composed of three independent short films, but what I personally feel most profoundly and most attractive is the short film that Imatoshi is the script and producer, "Her Memories", which is really full of the aesthetic sense of Imatoshi's personal emptiness and spirituality.
This series of stories takes place 100 years later, in 2092 AD, human beings began to develop a larger space, a spacecraft participating in the space rescue work Toyota is preparing to return after successfully completing a job, when it suddenly receives a distress signal from the area known as the "cosmic grave" with a high magnetic field, and the distress signal is a soprano clip selected from "Lady Butterfly", based on the "Cosmic Rescue Law" Toyota immediately took rescue measures and drove into the asteroid that sent a distress signal.
The owner of the planet, the soprano singer Eva, died 60 years ago, and the honorary Eva who has been honored for her life will always live in her glorious aura even if she dies, so she simulates her previous life according to her memories through the computer, which can be said to have brought narcissism to the extreme.
I am deeply fascinated by the film's construction of the virtual and reality interwoven style, the rescue team is easily confused by superficial things, they touch the most important and most desired things in the depths of human beings, whether they can distinguish between illusion and essence depends on how much we know about ourselves and what we want to protect.
The atmosphere of deep sadness it creates is a hallucinatory world constructed in space by the former high-pitched celebrities in order to remember the lost love and honor, and the people who enter this world lose themselves and are deeply remembered by digital memories.
This psychedelic audiovisual body effect is vividly displayed under the supervision of Imatoshi, from the ruined environment of slaughter to the elegant theater transformation, the astronauts fall into the illusion of the gorgeous, man and illusion, the dialogue between man and memory with the echoing bel canto soundtrack shows a strong sense of heaviness, heartache, and sadness. At the end of the short film, astronaut Heinz is evoked by his heavy memories, relies on pain to maintain his sobriety, and fights against the illusion, he finally understands that "memory is not a place to escape", with this pain to overcome Eva's memory, or to defeat himself.
As the rescue ship outside the asteroid is also caught up in the huge whirlpool and falls apart, Eva's singing voice is still lonely and sad in the depths of the universe, forever, forever...
As the film says, memories are extremely important to people, but excessive indulgence in glory or tragic past will only bring the self to a standstill, and most importantly, I see a kind of extreme narcissism in personality, with the help of ultra-technology to achieve a harmonious and harmonious "hermaphroditism", human love in the early 21st century obviously cannot reach this level, but technology is like magic in Harry Potter, and in the near future, human mate selection, ethics will change qualitatively.
What attracted me most to Imatoshi's "Her Memories" was that science fiction, art, and ethics were exquisitely integrated, and existed, yes, it was the existential trend of thought that prevailed in Western Europe in the past, which was the core key to unlocking the dimensional code, and my pattern seemed to expand infinitely, covering up and even replacing the basic reproductive desires.
Break up? For sex, there is nothing but acceptance, deviation, criticism, approval.
For me, the spirit of modern life is the most bitter, and to be honest, through the sensory experience of divinity, a narcissistic view of extreme idealism, will completely abandon the barriers of love, and walk leisurely in short-term, or alternating parallel lives.
Are you ready?
