<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > introduction</h1>
I have to say that some Japanese anime are not just anime, but tell some very interesting stories and convey some interesting ideas through anime. This is the case with the anime "The Tale of the Headless Horseman", which sounds as if it is telling urban anecdotes, and many of the plots that appear in the anime sound like telling horror stories. But this anime is not telling horror stories, anime is sharing stories, sharing some unspeakable, but indeed exists in this world.
"The Tale of the Headless Horseman" should be exactly, there should be no fixed protagonist, and everyone has their own story. The animation deliberately blurs the antagonistic relationship between the protagonist and the supporting characters. There is no real protagonist and no real supporting role. In today's view as an audience member, this is just an anime, and the characters in it are just artificially created. You feel like anime is illusory, and everything that appears in it can't happen in real life.
But is this necessarily correct? It cannot be said that such an anime world must exist, but it is indeed possible that in another parallel world, the same plot is happening as shown in the anime. What you see is not necessarily correct. What is the reality? You never know until you understand.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >1, The Legend of the Headless Horseman</h1>
(1) The people behind the urban news
The Tale of the Headless Horseman is set in a modern metropolis. Through the perspective of the young characters, the metropolis is not as simple as people seem. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and in the metropolis, there are also a group of people who find their own meaning in life and prove themselves by doing something that is very silly in the eyes of outsiders, such as the various rogue clans that appear in the anime, as well as some self-formed gang members, etc. Why did they join those organizations? Because you have to find something meaningful to do in your boring life. For them, the organization itself is not important, what matters is the people in the organization, it is a group of people doing something that they think is meaningful.
In addition to such people, some of them are people who survive in the dark corners of big cities. For example, human traffickers, black market doctors, etc., all appear in this anime. In fact, dark corners exist everywhere, but very few people actually see it. In the cognition of normal people, it may be felt that people who do such terrible things should be doing things with guilt, right? When they deceive people, they must have had a weak heart, right? But the reality is often that way, and if they can really feel guilty, they won't do such a thing.
In addition to these special people, of course, there are ordinary people, such as the protagonist given at the beginning of the anime - the perspective of the enemy. Coming from the countryside, the Emperor came to the big city for the first time to go to school, and saw the headless horsemen in urban legends for the first time. But instead of being afraid, the Emperor felt that he had touched the most core and special part of the city. To be honest, if you only live in a city step by step, then in which city is different? Perhaps this is also the most special place for the emperor, he can always see the places that ordinary people can't see.
(2) Find the meaning of life
Although it is a modern suspense anime, in "The Tale of the Headless Horseman", there really is a headless horseman, and the headless horseman lives on some kind of energy. However, not as terrifying as the urban legends make up, the Headless Horseman came to Japan from other countries and tried to find his own head. She just wants to live a normal life, but maybe for her, she can't really live in this world until she finds her head.
Because after losing her head, she also lost a lot of memories. There are memories about her thoughts about life, what is the meaning of human life? It is always necessary to wait for all your memories to be recovered before you can finally draw conclusions.
So, what is the meaning of your life?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >2, Have you really mastered your life? </h1>
(1) Everyone has their own secrets and unique ideas, and you are not unique
The Tale of the Headless Horseman is an anime that tells a story. And the first of these stories is somewhat unacceptable. The protagonist of the first story is a young girl who stumbles upon her father one day. The girl quietly showed her mother a picture of her father's cheating after hiding it for a while. But strangely, the mother still pretends that nothing has happened and continues to maintain a seemingly happy life with her father.
The girl was angry and told a friend on the Internet about this matter. The friend also shared his story with the girl, it turned out that their mothers had experienced the betrayal of their husbands, but none of them had the courage to stand up and resist. I thought that this attitude toward marital betrayal and the act of entanglement with other flesh should be the most disgusting. But the girl did not expect that anyone would be willing to indulge it.
Nausea spread through the girl's heart. And have you experienced this kind of thing of seeing one of your parents cheating and the other party pretending not to know anything?
I believe that many people have had similar experiences. So how did you end up coming out? The maiden was in pain, and she committed suicide, but was saved by the Headless Horseman. The girl did not take the second suicide, but because of the netizen's words, changed her understanding of the world.
(2) Outsiders in your eyes also have their own lives
In fact, that netizen also occupied a lot of scenes in the next plot. But not whether it is good or bad, only its words.
In your eyes, you can't forgive your parents for cheating, but in your parents' eyes, they also have their own little secrets and reasons why they must do it. And the reason why you can't forgive is only because you can't accept that the persona you have given to your parents has changed.
Acknowledge the changes of outsiders and understand them. It is painful to understand this truth.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > three, don't believe what you like and what's going on in your eyes</h1>
So, sometimes what you see in your eyes is just what you see in your eyes. Some of the preferences you have because of what you see in your eyes are actually your own emotions surging up. And what is the reality? Neither you nor I can know, only the Creator knows.
And the only thing you and I can do is to understand this strange existence. But why understand? Because you will find that your anger is useless. When you are considered a useless person, everything you do is useless.
