《新世纪福音战士:终》在日本上映已经是半年前的事情了,根据日本国内政策,最近登录网络流媒体已经算是很迅速,我也趁势去下了个4K画质版爽了一爽。先说结论,EVA的新剧场版四部曲(序,破,Q,终)私以为是应该放在动漫爱好者一生必看名单中。在EVA自己的系列里,新四部曲画面和制作技术自然是顶配,内容和老TV版以及老剧场版《真心为你》相比,若是前三部则略显平淡,但加上《终》之后可以说各有千秋。如果单说《终》,片如其名,毫无疑问是EVA整个系列最尽善尽美的终局... see more

2021年1月快过去了,来写2020年终总结似乎没什么不对。李诞在去年12月搞了一个“滚蛋吧2020”的所谓反跨年活动。这是一个一笑而过的事情,但我却老是想到孟子的话:“狗彘食人食而不知检,涂有饿莩而不知发,人死,则曰:‘非我也,岁也。’是何异于刺人而杀之,曰‘非我也,兵也’?王无罪岁,斯天下之民至焉。”2020年有什么错?从人类历史的角度来看,这肯定不是最美好的一年,但也绝不是最糟糕的一年,更何况这一年发生的事情与其说是天灾,不如说是人祸,如果人类还和以前一样行事,这一切不发生在2020也会发生在未来的某一年,并一定会在未来反复重演。 2020年是我来美国的第一年,我在这里找到了研究职位,找了实习,还自驾游遍6个州,虽然我不知道我会在美国生活多少年,但在未来的某一天,当我回首往事,这一年一定是双重意义上的跌宕起伏惊心动魄,2020年也是川普在任的最后一年,和习近平在任的漫长岁月里普普通通的一年。我居然时隔多年搞起了爱豆,在她爆出惊人的负面新闻之后。一个朋友去湖南读博,几个朋友在准备毕业,很多朋友开始工作。我的某个初中同一届的校友去当偶像了,另一个同学在南京我常去的西餐厅里当厨师。也许未来的某个时刻,这些千头万绪千丝万缕纠缠在一起会导致什么惊人的结果。
2020年结束了,我却还是不知道这篇文章该怎么结尾。干脆用个别人的好了:
不要忘了我。“她说。 “永远不忘记你。“我说。 “也许以后没机会再见到你了,不过,无论丢到那里,我都会永远记得你和直子。” 我看看她的眼睛,她哭了。我禁不住吻了她。虽然周围经过的人频频盯看我们看,但我已经不在意了。我们活看,只须考虑怎样活下去就够了。 “祝你幸福。“分手之际,玲子对我说。“我能向你忠告的全都说完了,再也没什么好说的,只能祝你幸福。让我和直子那一份的幸福都给予你。” 我们握手告别。
我打电话给阿绿,说无论如何都要跟她谈一谈。我说我有很多话要说,必须对她说。在这个世界上,除她以外别无所求。我想见她,一切的一切从头开始来过。 阿绿在电话的另一端,沉默了好久。彷佛全世界的细雨下在全世界的青草地上似的,沉默无声。那段时间,我闭起眼睛,额头一直压在玻璃窗上,终于阿绿开口了。她用平静的声音说:“现在你在哪里?” 我现在在哪里? 我继续握住听筒抬起脸来,看看电话亭的四周。如今我在什么地方?我不知道那是什么地方。我猜不看。到底这里是那里?映入我眼帘的只是不知何处去的人们,行色匆匆地从我身边走过去。而我只能站在那个不知名的地方,不停地呼唤阿绿的名字。

In recent years, there is always a controversial issue that movies and television are bad for children and teenagers. From my perspective, I disagree with that statement.
To begin with, movies and television are new types of art which means that they can give children and teenagers a new way to feel the beauty of the life and the world. Many experts and artists agree that movie is the 7th art, that is why there are many film festivals to evaluate movies and find the best movie of the year. For children and teenagers, movies and television give them a vivid way to figure out the beauty of the world. For example, when I was a child, I could not know what did Paris look like just from many books. On the contrary, after I saw a movie made in Paris, I could imagine many images about Paris in my mind and when I read books about Paris again, that movie can help me understand those books better.
Additionally, movies and televisions can help young people understand many problems vividly and make them do something to solve them. When young people read environmental problems from newspapers, it's difficult for them to imagine how bad that problem will be. For example, when talking about global warming, many people could not believe that a warmer earth will lead to lots of disasters, but when watching a television program about global warming which shows that polar bears have no where to live because of less ice, most people will agree that global warming is a serious problem. That is the power of movies and television. On top of that, as young people have less living experience vivid descriptions are more important to them than to grown-ups.
Admittedly, watching too much movies and television will make young people become sofa potatoes. But, from my perspective, the government and schools can do many things to protect children and teenagers from watching too much movies and television. Besides, nowadays there are many interesting things other than movies and television such as sports and travelling which are widely introduced by advertisements. So, less and less children will think that movies and television are the only way they can relax themselves. As a result, I believe that with the help of governments and schools, parents can make their children and teenagers to stop watching too much movies and television and pay attention to their body health.
All in all, as the reason mentioned above, I disagree with the argument that movies and television are bad for children and teenagers.
想起这个话题是因为前两天看到一个朋友发的段子,说一位体制内的科研大牛对下属说了一句:“我读过的书堆起来可以把你们火化了。”轻描淡写中霸气侧漏,让我身不能至心向往之。古有军阀,今有财阀,这些大牛们用“学阀”来称呼似很贴切... see more
这两天赛博考古,把《FSN:HF》没看的二和三翻出来看。其实我对FSN的IP从来是有就看,追新番,电影院支持,但因为第一部给我的观感实在不咋地,加上因为这部电影把一个要好的朋友气哭了,导致我在五味杂陈之下没及时看后面的二和三。昨天重看之后,萌生了一些奇奇怪怪的感触,正好我从来没有给FSN写过什么杂感,于是在这里扯一扯... see more
