GC is a masterpiece, it is indeed a masterpiece
Will come to see this movie purely because of the powerful influence of CG. The tight pace of development at the beginning and the gorgeous animation effects are to die for. The GC has been criticized for dragging its feet in the later stages. But in fact, to take a closer look, the plot of the dragging is not other profound significance? I don't know if you remember, there is a line in the first episode of GC: "This is the power of the king, the crown of sin woven by the hearts of men". since GC aired, I have watched the first few episodes many times, and suddenly I feel that this line, in addition to explaining the setting, perhaps explains to the viewers the other theme of the movie: to show the hearts of men. If there's any point whatsoever of an advantage to the plot dragging on, I think, it's that there's enough room to build characterization and show the characters on different levels, with different charms.? Think of it this way, it does. Inside GC, every character is portrayed in a three-dimensional way, even some of the sauce-kuns are depicted in close-up (e.g. Glasses-kun Bitch Trio ......). There are some of the characters have been dyed many times, but their essence has not changed from beginning to end. Chunxia's mother seems to be cold, but actually also a piece of love for her son; people say that the outside is completely dyed white and the inside is completely dyed black, but the end of the world is actually very painful and sad, and they would rather be resented than to speak out the cause of apology to gain sympathy; they have been reluctant to be strong because of their identities for years, and have no choice but to follow their beloved after they find her, The chairman of the reckless to follow; from beginning to end are pure and kind as the angel of the sacrifice; brave and reserved forward-looking Miss (pseudo) Ayase; originally timid and cowardly, do not accept the reality, but because of a variety of events (to put it bluntly, it is the woman) completely grow up to become strong and courageous set; there is also the prayer, a from no human heart to the human heart of the lovely and pathetic young girl; there is also Daryl, Catwoman, and so on, and so on. Whenever we pronounce their names, their images emerge clearly and without blur. In my opinion, CG focuses on the development of the plot, unfolding to an unexpected surprise, engraved in the heart; GC focuses on the performance of different hearts and minds, the development and end of the story is mostly in the unexpected and reasonable, but its performance of the characters let a person feel deep, unforgettable. From this point of view, GC never drags the plot at all, it merely shows the inner theme. It was never scummy, not at all. In recent years, also showing the human heart, Xiao Yuan's style is much darker, Mushroom's stories (Empty Realm ......) are mostly dark and gory, and Hanamei's unheard of stories are moving in their simplicity. GC isn't overly dark or simple, and the endings are actually acceptable, or not bad at all. In all honesty, does a work really have to end with a good explanation of all the characters that appeared in order to be considered a perfect ending? Although I am also anti-Yoshino script faction, but for the ending design of this aspect, have to be objective for Yoshino to say a few words. In a work, the connection between the beginning and the end is actually the most important thing, and a work with a big beginning and a big end often can't reach the altar, unless it can be from the beginning to the end of God. Then, as the final ending, give the audience some space for imagination, is not it better? No matter how many YEARS it is, what's wrong with the fact that we get to see Ayase and these people still living happily ever after? Is it a good ending to have to dig down to the bottom of the matter to find out what happened to each person? A work that leaves no room for imagination can never be considered a good work, I think so .... In my opinion, the blindness of the set is very poetic, why do I say so, please allow me to say slowly. How did Set survive, as we know from the anime? It was Prayer who entrusted everything he had to Set at the last moment, allowing Set, who should have been pooped, to survive. A single flip of the flower rope conveyed everything Prayer had, and shouldn't Set, have left something behind to keep Prayer company? I think that Set's blindness is not just a scripted dogma setting, but rather, Set gives his light back to Prayer, so that Prayer won't feel lonely and cold, because she has Set's light and warmth with her all the time... The last thing Set sees is Prayer's radiant smile, locking this moment in, along with the kindness and gentleness within Set's heart, all deposited in Set's light and given to Prayer. In this way, Prayer can reveal a smile that mesmerizes us no matter where she is, and I think that Set should think the same way, and Scripts-sama should also have such a layer of meaning... And blind set, can use the heart to feel the little prayer for him to feel everything, to feel the little prayer song, although the eyes can not see, but the heart is always together, in the far end of the city, the place where the flowers bloom, prayer did not leave, she is still guarding the place this can also be called a romantic lack of beauty, right.
