Adapted from Hideyuki Kikuchi's original novel, Monster City was released in Japan on April 25, 1987.
For many years, "Monster City" has been known for its exposed scenes, but the theme expressed in the film is very different from its form - "love and peace"
Xuan Yuanxuan called out to the insider!
The warrior of "love"
Reinforced concrete makes up the body, computers and high technology build the mind, this is the city and era in which we live. But most people ignore the mysteries of the uncanny, the things that we can't define in conventional logic, just around us ordinary people who live in a disciplined way, seeking endless material desires and fleeting happiness, and beyond the time and space we live in, there is a huge and terrible dark world...
The film begins with a glimpse of a modern city of reinforced concrete
The dark and solemn tall buildings in the center stand in stark contrast to the dark, low-rise buildings that surround them— hinting at the class gap between the rich and the poor, as well as the bottomless desires and meager human feelings of the city
At the bar, the male protagonist Takiriosaburō and the bartender bet ten thousand yuan that the woman who had known the male protagonist for three months tonight would not take the male protagonist home, and the bartender lost.
"I've never seen Kanako such a clean and self-respecting girl in so many years as a bartender, how did I suddenly catch your way?"
When "Kanako" came out of the toilet, the bartender directly referred to her with the bet of "ten thousand yuan"
What they don't know is that the real Kanako has been sleeping in the toilet
After Takirosaburō and Kanako finish at home, Kanako turns her limbs into spider claws and leaves
Takirosaburō was not surprised by this, he was ostensibly a salesman of a company, but in fact he was the dark guard who maintained peace between the human and demonic worlds.
Most people do not know that the demon world exists, and since ancient times, there has been communication, harmony and coexistence between the two worlds, but it is also difficult to avoid fierce wars. The two heads of state signed an armistice, renewed every 200 years.
Towards the end of the 20th century, the two sides tried to re-sign the armistice agreement and usher in a new era of relations.
But there is no shortage of militants in the demon world, who treat humans as lowly slaves in an attempt to sabotage the signing ceremony.
To protect the key figure in the signing ceremony – JosephIne Maiado (hereinafter referred to as this)
The two sides of the human and demon have a dark guard to protect him, namely Takiri Saburo and Ma Ki-e
At the airport, the people of the demon world blew up the plane first, but the old man expected that the previous plane would arrive in Tokyo first
Arriving at the hotel with the boundary, the old man clamored to go to various places, but Taki and Maji refused.
At this time, the people of the Demon Realm broke the enchantment into the hotel, injured Taki, came to the room to fight with Ma Ji-e, Ma Ki-e was invincible, it turned out that the Demon World man who broke into the hotel was Ma Ki-e's ex-boyfriend, saw Ma Ki-e betrayed, planned to be hard, and finally Taki took advantage of his lack of preparation, a shot resulted in him
After the incident, there was no trace of the old man, and Taki went to the massage parlor to find the old man according to the urine nature of the old man
Directly know which store the old man goes to, male lord, you are not right?!
The old man massages in the massage parlor, only to be plotted by a demon beast disguised as a massage woman, and Taki and Maki-e rescue him, but the old man is sucked out of his essence and needs to go to the Psychic Hospital for treatment
On the way to the hospital, Taki and his party are dragged into the demon world by the demon beasts that have chased them, and Ma Ji-e sacrifices himself to break the boundary, and Taki dares to go to the Spirit Hospital with the old man
At the hospital, the Demon Realm people show Taki the picture of Ma Ji'e being humiliated after he was captured
Taki tries to save MaKie, but the old man stops him, saying that Taki's duty is to protect him. Taki risks being fired by the Dark Guard and goes to rescue Ma Ki-e
In the abandoned factory where Ma Ki-e is imprisoned, the demon woman seduces Taki and cares about whether Taki and Princess Maji have done it, and Taki resists the temptation and knocks her down and Xiao Luo
Faced with the boss of the Demon Realm, Taki is invincible, and suddenly a mysterious force helps Taki to defeat the boss, and Taki rescues Asi-e. Ma Ji-e was touched by this, and the two had feelings
Back in the organization, Taki and Asagi were dismissed by their leaders for their inability to do things
On the way away, the old man sneaked into Taki's car because there was no good-looking woman in the organization.
At the same time, the Demon World BOSS is not dead, and Spider-Woman (fake Kanako) comes to report that Taki's bodily fluids are indeed what they imagined, that it will take time for the BOSS's body to regenerate, and that Spider-Woman will kill Taki and her party.
Taki and her party are hit by Spider-Woman's silk web, and Spider-Woman prepares to bear the result, and Ma Ki-e uses her body to block the attack,
The two are entangled in a cobweb together and are overtaken by the spider woman
At this time, it is the mysterious power of the previous one that appears and solves the Spider-Woman
Taki was seriously injured and taken to church to heal his injuries, and the two exchanged feelings in front of the cross
The Demon World BOSS is coming. The old man walked into the church and asked Taki Toki to go to the signing ceremony on behalf of the two worlds of man and demon.
That mysterious power is the old man, not Taki and Maki to protect him, but he to protect Taki and Maji.
Because Taki and Maki are mutant "stallions" specially cultivated by the two realms, they can give birth to the child of man and demon, and that child will become the co-leader of the human world and the demon world.
All these events were arranged in advance by the two worlds of man and demon
But there is a necessary condition: Taki and Asagi must truly love each other
Taki and the old man are defeated by the Demon World BOSS, and when the first blow occurs, Ma Ji-e suddenly changes because she is pregnant with Taki's child, knocking out the BOSS
Finally, the old man asks Taki if he is sincere when he is doing it with Maki, and the arrogant Taki says
"What a shame..... I'm just going to be honest for a while."
——The end of the whole drama——
appraise:
The very old film "Demon Beast City" is not only victorious in the "scale", but the character image is rich and full of realism and credibility, and the story is reversed
Although Taki is a playboy at first, when she discovers that Kanako has been "wrapped" by Spider-Woman, her first reaction is to care about her safety.
This act not only enriched his precious human qualities, but also provided a reasonable motivation for his later behavior of abandoning the object of protection and first saving Ma Ji-e.
It is precisely because of the above portrayal of Taki's image that we will think that Taki is sincere about Asaki.com. Taki realizes character changes from playboy to finding true love.
Most of the tones of "Demon Beast City" are mainly cool colors, reflecting the cold employment relationship and sexual demand relationship between people in the city.
And sex is no longer for "love", but for "taking".
Just like, Taki's affair with the fake Kanako
Just as the ex-boyfriend forcibly painted something about Ma Ji
As the old man of color was in the massage parlor
As in the aftermath of Ma Ji's capture
In this era of materialistic and fast-food lust, may we not lose ourselves and grasp the only truth that belongs to us
