Chapter 277 Porcupine Dilemma

"Episodes 3 and 4 both focus on the description of Shinji's psychology. Even the battle between the apostle and the EVA is to highlight Shinji's heart. The title of the third episode is 'Silent Phone' and the subtitle is 'Transfer Student', as the name suggests. , refers to the inner loneliness of coming to a strange group, especially when it is related to his existence as a hero who saved mankind, this loneliness becomes more and more profound."

"The title of the fourth episode is 'Rain and After Escape', and the subtitle is 'Porcupine Dilemma'. For film and television works, escape and rain are a common visual expression technique, which not only allows the audience to feel a sad atmosphere , and it can also highlight the confusion in the protagonist’s heart.”

"Shinji wandered aimlessly in the city. The red world and the noisy sounds showed his inner confusion - the world is big, but where is his home?"

"The 'Porcupine Dilemma' is about a group of porcupines huddled in a tree hole that is not warm in the winter when the earth is frozen. It is too cold. The porcupines are crowded together. They have to rely on each other's body temperature to keep themselves warm. Being too close, the thorns on the opponent's body stung itself, and it left, but the warmth left immediately. Therefore, the porcupines frequently adjusted the distance between each other. When a most suitable distance appeared, they no longer approached or left. This distance could not carry Even if they are injured, they will still feel each other's warmth, and they have spent a warm winter like this."

"This is what the German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer mentioned in "Appendices and Supplements". In terms of his outlook on life, due to the impression of Hinduism and Buddhism, his views are mostly pessimistic."

"Sigmund Freud, a famous psychologist, psychiatrist, landmark figure in the development of subconscious theory, and founder of the school of psychoanalysis, also introduced the 'Porcupine Dilemma' into the category of psychology."

"In life, we often encounter such a situation. We want to get close to others and show kindness to others, but we always hurt ourselves and others. Interpersonal communication is to find a person in the repeated closeness and distance. The distance that can make the other person feel warm. But it will not hurt the other person. This is the distance of the heart."

"Distance creates beauty?" Yao Hua said aloud.

Liao Zhenying smiled and nodded: "That's understandable."

"The works of "EVA" all reveal this kind of 'pessimism'. But "EVA" itself yearns for hope. In his story, Shinji and the battle between EVA and the apostles express this pessimism. struggle.”

"Shinji who escaped privately was captured by NERV's security department. In the dark confinement room, Misato had such a conversation with him..."

Light shone through the open door, like an invisible thread. Divide the world into black and white.

Shinji and the NERV on the wall are in a "dark" place,

And Misato is in a "white" world.

Although Shinji is in "black", his body is illuminated in "white", which expresses his inner yearning. Although Misato is in a "white" world, she is a shadow because she is from NERV.

Sharp black and white contrast. The dialogue between the two also brings a stronger sense of conflict to the audience.

"Here, Misato repeatedly asked him if he would sit on EVA. Shinji expressed his thoughts. He didn't want to sit, but if he didn't, Rei would sit on EVA. Misato finally broke out, her voice suppressed. With anger and pain. She wants to do what she wants to do, not like a soulless puppet."

"From the beginning of the calm conversation to the final explosion, Misato here can be said to be the third person who changed Shinji. Shinji is a collection of pessimism. He doesn't know how to refuse and how to express his thoughts. He is gentle and gentle. I don’t want to hurt other people, so I bear all the pain alone. The longer I live, the more tired I become.”

"And Misato's roar pulled him out of the darkness and brought him light, just like the visual embodiment here."

Yao Hua couldn't help but nod. As a director, he has a more professional understanding of camera performance techniques, and he agreed with Liao Zhenying's statement here.

"When Shinji was about to leave. Toji and Kensuke came to see Shinji off. Here Shinji's deep and lonely heart was finally contacted by others. He was finally understood and recognized by others. He felt warm. He The missing friends and attention were finally filled.”

"Shinji no longer remained silent and blamed others. He faced his own heart. Faced with the changes in the three people, this became a turning point. Shinji did not leave."

"Here, the 47-second still shot of Misato, who came last, and Shinji looking at each other across the platform is very exquisite. The expressiveness here far exceeds that of the comics!" Yaohua couldn't help but interjected. .

Liao Zhenying said: "I don't know much about the camera. I can only analyze it psychologically. Shinji always thought that Misato regarded him as an outsider and a tool. So when he saw Misato here, he was moved and felt that he was no longer alone. And Misato is pleased with Shinji, she has seen Shinji’s growth.”

"Shinji's expression has always been sad and confused, but here there is finally a hint of joy and softening. He said, 'I'm back,' and Misato replied, 'Welcome home.' These two ordinary conversations showed that the two people finally opened up. Open our hearts, understand each other, and accept each other.”

"The fifth episode begins with the start-up test of Rei and Unit Zero. Unit Zero went berserk. The cause of the runaway was the driver's psychological instability. It said, 'Her mood was so chaotic that it was unbearable. To the point of belief'. From the moment Li appeared on the scene, she gave people a cold and frosty feeling. She has never shown it at all, and it is impossible to see that her heart is so chaotic."

"And the chaos in Rei's heart that cannot be expressed is reflected through the rampage of Unit Zero. Therefore, at the beginning, I proposed that EVA is just a tool that embodies the soul. It is dispensable, as long as it can make the audience Feel the transformation of the character’s mind, which can become anything.”

"No, no, no, I still firmly believe in my point of view. The human heart represents reason, and EVA represents desire. The chaos in Li's heart is the chaos of reason. Chaotic reason cannot control desire, so she goes berserk."

Although Liao Zhenying's point of view is indeed eye-catching, Yao Hua does not agree with it. He feels that his point of view is reasonable and there is nothing unreasonable.

"Pharmacology director, Professor Liao, this place is extremely indifferent. Ikari Yuandu, who is as cold-blooded as a cold-blooded animal, has shown unreasonable concern for Ling Boli. Is his concern for Li actually due to Li? Or is it because..."

Seeing signs that the two were quarreling, Jiang Yan quickly asked the question and brought the discussion back to the story of "EVA".

"At the beginning, I thought it might be the latter reason, but then I thought about it. Ikari Gento is a very rational person. In the end, what he loves most in his heart is still his wife, and there is no other substitute. So that doesn’t make sense.”

"And both Misato and Ritsuko said that Shinji, like Ikari Gento, is a person who is not good at expressing emotions. Ikari Gento's feelings for Rei are very complicated. They are both a tool and a part of the plan, and they are also important people in their hearts. The shadow of the person may be a combination of multiple emotions."

The medical director thought for a while and answered.

Liao Zhenying also nodded and said: "Rei is exactly the same as Shinji at the beginning, even worse than Shinji, because Shinji at least yearns for hope, but Rei has no expression of it. Shinji has already made friends, and part of his heart has been restored. Completed, but Rei, who came a year earlier than Shinji, still keeps to herself."

"Li is lonely, doesn't understand anything, and can't express anything. Therefore, her inner turmoil cannot be seen from the outside, but it is obvious from the bad environment in her home."

"In the simple room, there were only the most basic living furniture, blood-stained bandages, a pile of nutritious junk food, and only one broken pair of glasses, shining brightly under the sunlight that filtered through the gap in the curtains."

"These glasses are exactly the glasses Ikari Gento broke when he rescued her. Rei solemnly put away the glasses, which shows that part of her heart has been repaired, so she will start again next time. During the experiment, no rampage occurred.”

Jiang Yan suddenly noticed a place and said, "By the way, here Rei came out naked after taking a shower, but she didn't react to Shinji seeing her body. Instead, she moved her glasses on Shinji. , showing extra anger. Even if he is looked at or touched, his reaction is extremely cold, as if he has no sense of shame."

"Previously, Teacher Huang Shaotian proposed in his analysis that Adam and Eve had a sense of shame after eating the fruit of wisdom. Does this mean that Li did not 'eat the fruit of wisdom'?"

This is a question Jiang Yan raised based on the analysis he heard and his own understanding, because although Li is a copy of a human, she is the soul of the second apostle Lilith. What "did not eat the fruit of wisdom" refers to here. Apostle, does Li Chi’s naked appearance here also imply her identity?

"According to Huang Shaotian's analysis, it is indeed correct. However, the lack of shame can also be considered as Li's mind being incomplete." Liao Zhenying answered with her own point of view.

In "Meet at the Premiere", the two people come from completely different industries and are doing different jobs. It can be said that they are two completely different people who argue endlessly about the same work.

Netizens debated this work enthusiastically, but the content they discussed was not that profound.

"I don't care about any shame, fruits of wisdom, or apostles. I only know that when I see this picture, I want to chop off Shinji's claws!" (To be continued.
