Cowboy Bebop (animation)
"Cowboy Bebop" (hereinafter referred to as "Interstellar"), released in 1998, is based on the story of a western cowboy bounty hunter, a unique urban design in Hong Kong's oriental style, and the jazz music soundtrack by Yoko Guanye. It can be described as a generation of sci-fi animation classics. It is not only popular in Japan and Asia, but also has a large number of fans in Europe and the United States where Japanese animation was a niche taste. It can be said to be the enlightenment animation of a generation of ghosts, and it is the same as "Ghost in the Shell". In recent years, Hollywood has started filming live-action Japanese animations one after another, and it is no surprise that this work was selected.
But speaking of it, I've never watched it, and when Netflix announced it was filming, I immediately found it and watched it, ready for the live-action version. As a result, I watched most of the episodes and stopped halfway. Because it was a unit drama after each episode, I didn't have a sense of urgency to watch it in one breath. Finally, it was dragged from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. The live-action version was about to be released for a week, so I hurriedly finished watching it before I could start watching the live-action version. In the end, because the live-action version was too disappointing to me, after watching the live-action version, I found the animated version and revisited it quickly, which made me even more sure that "Interstellar" is real. God made.
People who are accustomed to watching one season of dramas in one go today will find the pace of "Interstellar" is too slow, so slow that it is a bit boring, there is no continuity between each episode, and there is not even a main line that runs through the whole drama, just one episode after another. new case. Understand that there is no streaming platform in the last century, and you have to sit in front of the TV on time every week to watch it. A one-week unit story, with enough time and depth to build character relationships and characters, was the typical style of American dramas of that era. It's just that "Interstellar" only took one season, and it didn't take as long as American dramas. From the standpoint of each story, most of them are excellent sci-fi sketches. Each of the four protagonists has their own cover. The script is fluent with a hint of indifferent sorrow.
Completely bring out that mood. As for the exquisite production of the animation, the smoothness of the air battle scene and the burial, the interaction between the characters creates the spark of a cold joke, all of which are just right, even if I look at it again after a quarter of a century, I don't think this movie is at all. The work is out of date.
Although Spike is the No. 1 male protagonist, his story of breaking up with himself and his old lover who was an underworld killer in the past is the worst story in the entire animation. The two episodes of the old shuttle technician and the playground transformer are my favorite stories about Spike. Jet is a typical gangster film retirement detective setting, and even his two episodes with his ex-girlfriend and old partner seem to have taken the gangster film into space. Faye is the soul of this work. The two male partners are compensation hunters. They will only make a set of very popular westerns. Adding Faye's personality that does not follow the rules at all, and her poor and funny amnesia life experience, It has an unexpected chemical effect for the script, and more importantly, she is the beautiful heroine in the play, but it is rare for the screenwriter to not underestimate the existence of Faye, and randomly add emotional dramas for her and the two male protagonists. Faye and the two of them are The existence of peers, the compensation hunters sitting in the same boat, are comrades-in-arms who can entrust their backs to life and death. Just imagine if the writers forcefully pair Spike and Faye together, it will completely destroy the atmosphere and structure of the entire story. Tiancai Hacker Kid and Tiancai Dog are used to complement the hilarity and add a lot of lighthearted laughter to the story.
After watching the TV version, I also watched the theatrical version of "The Gate of Heaven". I thought it would unlock the ins and outs of the Earth Gate incident that is often mentioned in the story. I was a little disappointed by the result. The theatrical version is just a new task, which can be inserted between the two episodes of the electric version at will. After reading the story, the story is overdone, and I only read it a few months ago. When I write a movie review now, no matter whether the movie is good or bad, the wind will not leave a mark, I can't remember anything worth writing.
Preview, the next one will comment on the live-action version of "Interstellar". It can only be said that there has never been a successful example of a ghost in the live-action version of Japanese animation, and the result this time is not unexpected.
