The follow-up plot trend of "EVA" has indeed affected some popularity.
Audiences who followed Xu Qingru's two works at the same time said that in addition to the problem of the protagonist's character, they also felt that "The Condor" was a work that seriously told stories to readers, and part of the content of "EVA" , it is too much pursuit of literature and art and depth.
Xu Qingru always inserts some stream-of-consciousness scenes in animations that are completely incomprehensible, and even destroys the smoothness of the storyline for the sake of literature and style.
Although on the whole, this can make her works always full of a unique charm, which makes those audiences who like literature and art unable to stop. Various high-level interpretations also emerge in an endless stream, which makes the public have a feeling after watching it. In this way, Xu Qingru's works have a strong impression, but after the general audience sees them, they feel that some pictures are completely meaningless, and it is clearly the author's self-pleasure.
If it weren't for the graphics, battle scenes, and visual effects of this work, they would have given up long ago.
Of course, there were also people who spoke for Xu Qingru, and they were all ridiculed as "Xu Xiaozi".
Xu Xiaozi believes that Xu Qingru's "EVA" is of the radio wave type. If you can match her radio wave, you will naturally become more and more excited as you watch it, and you will also have a sense of superiority overlooking all living beings.
Because you understand it, but those people who have less aesthetic taste don’t understand it at all.
At this time, you have to analyze its profound connotation and publish it, and then you can receive praises such as "I see, I didn't expect that", "The master is really amazing", "The host is really a literary and artistic young man", and you will immediately You will feel that your skills have been qualitatively improved, and you will become more and more addicted to the joy of interpreting her work.
As for a work, it is much more difficult to be literary and artistic to death than to be entertaining to death. You must know that there are routines for good writing, and any writer who knows some routines can write it, but for literary and artistic works, even if It is a literature and art that is piled up with rhetoric and seemingly meaningless. Without a certain amount of personal accumulation, it is really impossible to write, let alone those literary and artistic works that truly have connotations.
The timeline continues to accelerate. "EVA", as the "new show in July", has been broadcast for a total of half a year. It was completed in early January of the following year, and episodes 25 and 26 were broadcast together, all at once. Let the audience enjoy it!
But the funny thing is that most of the audience didn't enjoy it at all!
Because in these last two chapters, the flow of consciousness reached an extreme level, and many viewers could not understand it.
The general content of the ending is——
Shinji feels deeply guilty for killing Kaoru with his own hands.
Did you kill him because he was an apostle?
Did Kaoru do it because he wanted to die?
Why did you take the EVA?
Are we all fighting for others?
All kinds of questions filled his heart.
Asuka, who lost her self-esteem, closed her mind.
Misato forced herself to ignore the trauma of her childhood in order to survive.
What are they hoping for?
Rei also continued to discuss with her inner self.
Yuandu came to greet her like this: "Today is the day you exist for."
Thus, the completion of humankind begins.
Heart, what humans have lost.
The process of retrieving it is the so-called completion.
If you look at the problem from another angle and from another standpoint, there may be considerable changes.
Maybe it's a good change.
This ending can be said to have brought the stream-of-consciousness style of "EVA" to the extreme, so many viewers who viewed this animation as a unit drama of "EVA Fighting Apostles" were confused and confused after seeing what happened. I don’t understand what Xu Qingru wants to express...
But they always felt that the ending was a bit sad, but what was frustrating was that they couldn't understand why they were sad, and they didn't feel depressed.
However, viewers who can catch up to the end have basically become accustomed to the overall style of this "EVA", which makes people "unconscious". Anyway, there will definitely be a master who interprets its meaning next, so just wait with peace of mind. .
This is actually what Xu Qingru hopes to see. After all, the more obscure the ending of a work like "EVA" is, the more literary and artistic value it can bring to her.
As expected, those artistic young people and senior fans who like to explore connotations and over-interpret it seem to be ushering in a grand carnival!
These people who think they understand "EVA" directly interpret an important setting in this work-the human completion plan!
Xu Qingru is an old fan, and this is how Chu Yongming, a literary young man, interprets it——
“The Human Completion Plan is an important part of this animation. It can be said that the entire story revolves around the Human Completion Plan.
However, the human completion plan is indeed one of the more hidden concepts that is not easy to understand.
At the end of the 25th and 26th chapters of this animation, it ends with Xu Qingru’s most fascinating and obscure stream-of-consciousness psychological analysis. Even I watched it many times, and then Only by comparing it with the previous content and analyzing it can we taste something. "
"In fact, all the previous twenty-four chapters of the animation are foreshadowing the final plan to complete the human race.
Here, the so-called completion of human beings refers to the evolution of human hearts, which is actually psychological evolution and solving morbid psychological problems.
The animation takes the meaning of survival and the purpose of existence as the core topics, and human loneliness as the object, and carries out a long psychological description, which is intended to make us viewers (that is, viewers who have the same psychology as the characters in EVA) understand The characters in the animation also solve their own psychological problems in the process of psychological resolution. (I will not describe the analysis in detail here)
In the end, Shinji Ikari also got out of his gloomy psychology and completed his inner fulfillment.
At this time, everyone congratulated him on completing his very important psychological journey.
At the very end of the animation, it was written, 'Then bless all the children in the world...' Just like that, the EVA ended with these words. "
After all, this classic animation uses too many symbolic techniques and incorporates many religious elements. This is how it is created.
It’s not that the audience can’t understand it at all, but the more “half-understood” it is, the more people will scratch their heads and want to fully understand it, and then search for various analysis on their own. After that, I suddenly felt like I had a sudden enlightenment, and of course I felt great in the end!
Next, everyone will follow the trend and show off the "magic work", which is naturally the basic operation of the old two-dimensional people.
In fact, Chu Yongming’s analysis of the “Human Completion Plan” above is just a short section of their lengthy analysis of tens of thousands of words!
Chu Yongming and more than a dozen of the other most loyal fans of "EVA", many of whom are fans of Western religions, together they completed an article called "Full Analysis of EVA: What is this masterpiece about?" 》Long speech!
This very long article provides an in-depth analysis of EVA’s timeline, story background, theological foundation, technical background, character analysis, plot interpretation and other aspects...
After the animation was completed, it didn't take long for such a divine article to be circulated and became a guiding light for countless viewers who seemed to understand but not understand. After reading such a seemingly rigorous paper, they all felt that they Their strong character has been greatly improved, and they all replied to this divine article:
“It’s amazing, it’s a sudden enlightenment!”
"After reading this, things I didn't understand before became much clearer. It's very well written."
"I admire the original poster, he is really talented!"
"The more talented one is Xu Qingru. Her knowledge is too terrifying. Not only has she integrated Western religions into this work, but she has also researched various philosophical schools. With such talent, It’s so admirable! I just hope that Xu Qingru can take care of us mortals in the future. It’s really uncomfortable to feel like I don’t understand!”
…
Such an analytical article has been reposted by many people. In some ACG forums, it was used as a repost, and many people responded. However, it was not a one-sided admiration. Some forum friends believed that this was definitely an over-interpretation.
