In recent years, with the rise of national comics, there have been new and excellent works pouring out, including the mainstream "Nezha" and "The Return of the Great Sage", as well as the niche dark "Great Protector" and "Mr. Miao". Today I will recommend this dark series, mixed praise and criticism of "Mr. Wonderful"!
This "Mr. Wonderful" is known as the companion piece of "The Great Protector", to be honest, when watching "The Great Protector", I may have only neglected to understand the central idea that the director wants to express, and the performance of "Mr. Wonderful" made me happy!
Although "Mr. Wonderful" is still a stream of consciousness, it has begun to know how to take proper care of the audience! If "The Great Protector" is a film of self-flow, and "Mr. Miao" is a film that tries to make the audience listen and resonate, most of the success of "Mr. Miao" is hidden in the details.
The scene of "Mr. Miao" has been separated from the single rural scene of "The Great Protector", "Mr. Miao" not only has a broken countryside, a scene like a strange dream, but also a scene of a thousand Buddha Cave with a cave sky, so that a scene like Danqing, with a strong national atmosphere, comes to the face, making people feel inexplicably comfortable. (Feeling like my eyes are going to be healed)
"Mr. Miao" also has a stunning story, that is, the story of Yun Xiang, which was originally a green plum bamboo horse to a strange road. The combination of the painting style and drama of this story is then carried on to the ancient singing voice that has been passed down from history. This passage directly intoxicates the audience into the story. (I suddenly understood why Miss Ancients liked to listen to songs, and when I heard this paragraph, it was really good) This paragraph really pressed a lot of national comics.
"Mr. Wonderful" adds philosophical speculation and Buddha's thought of cause and effect throughout the film.
The most important scene in this anime is Ding Guo's words: "Kill good people, save bad people, what is this reason!" Begin. Ding Guo is a tracer, he wants to find a truth, the truth he wants to find is actually the result of a causal cycle, the last class liked the "ice jade" lotus-shaped treasure, it grows in the White Mirror River in Yuwu Town, and must be picked by hand in the water. Pickers are very susceptible to a disease called "bitter cold",
The cicada metamorphosis of the "fire cicada" can cure the "bitter cold disease", because the upper class needs a large number of ice jade, so that more people suffer from bitter cold disease, so that more fire cicadas are needed. The number of fire cicadas is reduced, the higher the price, and one can only exchange for one person's full-term rations, so a "fire cicada" causes people to scramble, and even the brother kills the younger brother.
Secondly, a special creature called the "other shore flower" continues to spread. Its spores are enough to seduce the evil thoughts and greed of the human heart, and the immature is red, and the mature is golden, and can reside in the body of a good person. The other shore flower is mostly invisible to the naked eye, so it is necessary to carefully look for good people, and then remove the other shore flower in a suitable way, but as long as the host is removed, it will die, and everything is a vortex of cause and effect.
In "Mr. Miao", there are two different ideas of Ding Guo and Yin Feng, Ding Guo advocates letting the host die voluntarily and adopting a mature "other shore flower", while Yin Feng advocates directly killing the host and killing one person to save more people. In fact, the two protagonists represent two different ideas of salvation!
Whenever I see this, I always think of Ding Guo's sentence: "Kindness is originally a sacrifice, voluntary sacrifice or being sacrificed!" ”
Is kindness really a sacrifice?
Kindness is a sacrifice, but also a choice!
As Ding Guo said: "There is no reason, only choice!" "When you choose kindness, you choose to make sacrifices!" When people don't know how to make the world a better place, people choose to believe that their killing of the host can save more people, believe that their death can make more people happy, and believe that eating the "golden other side of the flower" can fulfill any wish.
So, in the chaotic world, some people find different faiths, faith is not God, He never saves anyone, but what kind of faith you choose to save yourself, and salvation is your own business. Therefore, some people believe in "fire cicadas", some people believe in "ice jade", some people believe in "other shore flowers", so some people have to kill their brothers, some people have bitter cold, and some people have turned into yellow ducks! These choices become personal causes and effects, and these small causes and effects hide the cycle of tragedy in the human world!
Only those who choose goodness and sacrifice for goodness have found the truth of the matter!
Think about it, think about real life, are we in such a cycle?
Who turned into a yellow duck?
Who sacrifices for goodness to mess up the world?
And we're going to do the lyrics like the ending song:
Even if this earthly world is cold and indifferent,
The blood in your heart will still be warm.
Even if kindness is really a sacrifice, a choice,
We still hold our blood and make the right choice!
Just like the last paragraph of "Mr. Miao", we don't want to be the next Ding Guo, we don't want to have the next Ding Guo, and we don't want Ding Guo to be woken up again!
(Although "Mr. Wonderful" does have obvious structural incompleteness and the fight has dropped frames, it is still flawed.) Makes me feel good! And those of us who can't even draw a frame well, it's best not to spray others. Such a work, placed in a more distant time dimension, I think it is still worth watching, that is, it is very great! That is, it is good enough for someone who really likes it to feel short-lived happiness because they see it. ）
