The neighboring island country of Japan is a country rich in horror culture, from the ancient times to the present "Hundred Ghosts Nocturnal Copy" began to lay the foundation, and later there have been many classic horror movies, such as "Sadako" and "Curse" that left us childhood psychological shadows when we were young, which are still classics, and the main horror point lies in the eerie pictures, the ghost flashes at first glance, the sound effects and the handling of the soundtrack.
However, in addition to the horror movie culture in Japan, its anime culture is also very developed, and when the two collide, Junji Ito's horror manga can be said to be a classic in the classics produced after the collision.
The characteristics of Junji Ito's horror manga in addition to the unique drawing style, do not take the style of violence and bloodshed, its strange story content makes people think about it very scary and creepy after reading, a large number of dense layouts make many friends who are not dense phobia feel crazy after reading it.
And Ito Junji's famous work, is this "Tomie", because it is too classic, was adapted into animation and movies, from the perspective of artistic restoration, the film version is not satisfactory, always can not reproduce the essence of the manga, and this animated version of "Tomie" is a lot more successful, after all, the animation retains the style of Ito Junji's original painting, visually speaking, it is already the most classic restoration.
So what exactly is "Tomie" about? In fact, a sentence can be summed up, a girl named Fu jiang, long charm and charm, all the men who see her are in love with her, all the women who see her will be jealous of her, the men who fall in love with her love to madness, love to want to possess her alone, love to want to ruin her, and the women who are jealous of her are jealous to hate her, jealous to want to destroy her, so Fu Jiang is killed again and again, separated, but she can always be reborn, and even divided into as many pieces will regenerate as many Fu Jiang, infinite cycle.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="9" > simple evil is not terrible, what is terrifying is the catalyst of evil</h1>
"Tomie" this series is very classic, many people even if they have not seen the manga or animation, but also know how the character of Tomie is, some people feel that Tomie is the embodiment of evil, this point the author does not dare to agree, at first glance Tomie's "demon" let everyone who comes into contact with her do evil and cruel things, the whole family is ruined, at first glance Tomie is very unfortunate, this misfortune is not only her misfortune but also the misfortune of others.
But seriously think about it, Fujiang is actually just a temptation, just like the ancient emperors themselves did not have the ability to self-discipline and did not have the ideological consciousness of the diligent political country, when the country was destroyed, why should they wear a red face and a hat for the concubines they loved, and the country and the people were harmed, just because the beauty of the family leader won the favor of the emperor?
Therefore, Tomie herself is not evil, she is just a catalyst for evil, her existence catalyzes men's selfishness, possession, desire, and also catalyzes women's jealousy and inferiority, Fujiang's catalyst amplifies these original sins infinitely, overwhelmingly defeating reason, and men and women who have lost their reason are the embodiment of evil.
So these people want to destroy and destroy Tomie, but the catalyst of evil cannot be eliminated, without Tomie, there will be the next one, this is the weakness of human nature, the weakness of human nature can not be completely eliminated, so the setting of Tomie in the animation will be an infinite cycle, immortality.
Simple evil is not terrible, because simple evil can be destroyed, and may be changed and redeemed by goodness, but the catalyst of evil is endless, there is a next one in addition to this, and it needs to be resisted and resisted by our will and reason.
And the catalysts of evil around us are also innumerable, money, fame, beauty, even dignity, freedom, these may also evolve into the catalysts of evil because of extremes, all criminal cases, which are not "reasonable" and "well-founded", the author is reasonable, that is, there are things to tempt them to commit crimes, and evidence refers to all kinds of evil deeds committed by both hands.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" What is desire > data-track="34"? Original Sin + Demons</h1>
Tomie this woman, you say she is completely innocent, not, she is probably the author has seen the most free and most reasonable female monster in the horror works, most of the other female ghosts are abandoned by men and framed and then die with remorse, the ghosts are entangled in not becoming female ghosts, other monsters are too ugly to hide in the dark corners waiting for the opportunity to slaughter people.
But Tomie is much more real than that, she seduces men with beautiful appearances and seductive words, and then lets men give her all she wants, French meals, luxuries and even life, she wants, you men have to give, Fujiang is not only satisfied with the demand, and of course no pay.
Knowing that Fu Jiang is a dangerous woman, but those men still choose to compromise in the face of desire and possession, it can be said that they are led by Fu Jiang by the neck to the end of the disaster.
The reason why desire is original sin and inner demon, what is original sin? It is a sin that we are born to follow us in the depths of everyone's heart, and human desire is like this, from the moment we begin to have such an action as "wanting", desire follows us.
And what is a demon? A demon is a "mindless" thought that is suppressed by reason in the depths of your heart, and it is a fluke psychology that you lax and have in your heart when you face desire.
It is human nature to have desires.
But in the face of desire, we release the inner demons, lose our senses, know the danger and insist on it, then we become prisoners of desire.
In fact, Tomie will say to the man every time, "I love you, please hug me gently", a rational man can refuse, the terrible thing is that no man rejects her, Ando Junji wants to express that in the face of desire, we never refuse.
This makes the author think of Hitler, the original family of four walls, although there is a very high degree of architectural talent, but in the youth of the wall, and later rely on his own ability and efforts, became the head of germany at that time, but also mastered the exquisite speech and the ability to gather people's hearts, if he did not want to rule the world, he may be a good head of state, sought after and loved by the people, but it was his desire that made him launch the Second World War, so that the whole world at that time fell into the depths of the water, It brought indelible disasters to mankind, and finally ended up killing himself after being defeated in battle, and left a name for eternity.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="35" > the adult world in the animation, although absurd, alludes to the cruelest facts in our lives</h1>
The reason why Junji Ito has been named a master of horror in the Japanese manga industry is that although his adult world is absurd, it is a cruel fact that is alluded to in our lives, which makes people think about it after watching it.
In Junji Ito's manga, it is easy to see the protagonists one by one from giving in to desire, to losing control, to a state of madness, and finally self-destruction.
We may feel that we can't become like this at all, but in fact, this is our life, when we lose our minds about something and give up self-control, we have fallen into a state of "madness", just like we are looking at the phone uncontrollably every day.
In the end, we still have to improve our willpower, cultivate our own self-control, develop our own self-discipline, maybe there are many things and things in this world that we can't control, but we must at least be able to control ourselves.
Loss of control is never a positive word.
