Today I recommend to you a short film of up to 25 minutes - "Don't Forget Spider" is an animation about Lolita, but Lolita is only one aspect of the spiritual theme of this story.
Is it a satire of Lolita, as the title suggests? Everyone has a different point of view after reading this.
Although it was only 25 minutes, the ending chilled me for a long time.
Briefly talk about the plot (omit part of the plot, ensure no spoilers, leave suspense)
At the beginning of the film (omitted by balabala), the heroine (Rui ji) flips through the ancient book and removes the seal!
Something came out of the book! Rui Ji did not find out.
Later, the box in the room fell down, and the male owner (Uncle Yan) went to check.
Found a little Lolita, after which Uncle Yan was cute.
Uncle Yan began to coax Little Lori and decided to adopt her.
Little Lori seemed to be impressed, and slowly held out her hand... The forehead seems to be a spider leg...
Keep omitting...
In this way, the little spider was adopted, but after all, it was a spider, and Rui Ji was very uneasy.
After a few more days, the little spider still lived in Uncle Yan's house, and they were about to become Uncle Yan's daughter.
But Little Spider and Rui Ji are incompatible.
One night, the little spider cried, because he missed his mother, and after Uncle Yan saw it, he walked towards the little spider like he was fascinated. (At this time, Uncle Yan has been seduced)
In the end, Uncle Yan found a way to let the little spider go home, and Rui Ji and Uncle Yan sent the little spider to the mountain together, at this time Rui Ji remembered the legend of the man-eating spider, and Rui Ji was very worried about Uncle Yan.
When he arrived at a place, the little spider was suddenly very excited and ran into the house, where Uncle Yan's expression was already wrong. (Pay attention to the dark shadow of the eyes)
The little spider ran away, and the two followed and fell into a room.
Rui Ji tried hard to take Uncle Yan back from the yokai, but Uncle Yan still looked stupid.
When Rui Ji looked back, he found that both of them were covered with spider silk.
Uncle Yan walked to the lake under the guidance of spider silk.
Rui Ji pulled Uncle Yan desperately, and the tears remained.
Finally, the two fall into a spider web.
At this time, the little spider landed lightly on the silk web like a fairy, and yes, it grew up.
Pointing to the lake was her mother.
Here should be the little spider's mother who came to welcome the little spider home, because the smile on her face is kind.
At this time, the heroine.
In the end, both men returned to town alive.
But is this person Ruiji?
The ending is something I never expected, but I like this short film very much, I have found a lot of commentary to barely understand, I myself think that what this anime wants to convey to the audience is "don't be blinded by beautiful things" or "Don't blindly help an incurable person", but the name "Don't Forget the Spider" negates my idea, is it to signal the male protagonist not to forget his feelings for the little spider in his past life?
Duration is 25 minutes, station B has, if you are interested, go to see it.
It can be said that it is a short film of depressiveness, but it is definitely a good work.
