Hello, hello everyone, here is Acha Man Talk.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="2" > preamble</h1>
From a historical point of view, the development of anime is not long, and it can even be said to be very short. But in fact, from the beginning of the development of anime to the present, it has reached decades. For us now, animation has reached a stage of high development, and its system is relatively complete.
The creative methods of anime are also changeable, even now, our anime is still in a stage of development, not the final ending. If we want to fully enter an ultimate stage, we need to continue to develop.
Among them, there must be some interesting topics and problems. And what Acha brings to you today is a so-called "taboo" anime writing method - dream ending.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" > Doraemon</h1>
In fact, as early as 2012, some people raised this issue and discussed it.
On September 21, 1996, manga artist Hiroshi Fujimoto lost consciousness during the creation of the long story Ofeki City Adventures of Doraemon, and after diagnosis and treatment, he was unable to return to heaven at the age of 62. The departure of Hiroshi Fujimoto is the biggest blow to his readers, and the story that has been serialized for many years suddenly has no ending, which will make all readers feel lost.
In order to avoid this happening, it is necessary to draw an ending for the manga. However, due to the suddenness of the incident and the fact that there were no people who could accept Mr. Fujimoto's work at that time, the TV station broadcast the news that Mr. Fujimoto Hiroshi had already prepared the ending of the story.
And the ending of "Doraemon" was divided into two parts at the time: First, Nobita was actually an autistic child, and the story of the so-called Doraemon was completely his own fantasy. There is no Doraemon in the world, there is no heterogeneous pocket, and the characters are Nobita's childhood playmates, and Nobita himself is a severe autistic patient who has been locked up in a mental hospital.
Second, Nobita is a complete vegetative person, who has no ability to take care of himself, only the ability to think, and after a long time, he begins to fantasize. No matter what kind of plot appears in the play, it is just a dream made by Nobita.
And this kind of writing that ends with dreams and fantasies is what we call the end of dreams.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="17" why > the dream ending is called taboo</h1>
Ending with a "dream" is very hasty, although it is also sloppy to let the story end, but in exchange for what? One can't help but ask oneself: What made us like this? At that time, because of the appearance of the dream ending, many people in Japan committed suicide. We can also understand that this is the "pot" of the dream ending.
In the early days, Osamu Tezuka once created a work called "Cyan Duma", because its own ending was also a dream ending, which disappointed the audience.
This kind of dream ending is relatively easy to hear, in fact, we can also understand this kind of writing as "belonging to the nihilism that leads to the story process by violent means". After that, Osamu Tezuka listed the "dream ending" technique as taboo and explained why.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="25" > summary</h1>
For us, the existence of the dream ending is indeed too violent. It is not difficult for you to imagine that the works that you have loved for more than ten years and twenty years, and suddenly tell you that this is just a dream, will inevitably make us feel uncomfortable in our hearts.
PS: The picture above is the movie "Life Remote Control", and its movie ending is also a "dream ending".
At that time, we all have a sense of dependence on the work and the story in it, and this sense of dependence is not that we think that the story is realistic, but that we have a sustenance for the spirit and fantasy.
