(These are my thoughts on the Neon-Genesis movie. I’m not only will I give my thoughts, but also present them in the same manner in which the movie was presented.)
I finally finished the Neon Genesis series. I haven’t watched the final two episodes yet, but I did watch the movie that replaced them.
I thought it was a very good negative climax to the whole series. There was a lot of violence, but it wasn’t just action movie stupidity. There was a reason why everything was happening the way it did. My friend Mike had told me the series was about Man trying to stop God from ending the world, but from what it looks like here it was Man trying to end the world from the beginning. It looks like SEELE finally completed their dark plan to destroy mankind and watch it be reborn.
I was really disappointed with Shinji. He had actually grown some rocks halfway through the series, but I guess when he squeezed the life out of the very last angel they must’ve fallen off and he resumed mega-wuss-self-pity mode. Freud would have a lot to say about that guy.
Asuka’s last stand was awesome. They finished up her character beautifully. I’m slightly confused on how the AT-field connects with her mother, although I now understand why one of the Angels attacked hey psychologically.
Rei turned out to be awesome as well. She was probably my favorite character in the series, and I would like to add that I was right about the connection with Yui Ikari. :teeth: I actually thought that she was one who needed the most therapy, but it turns out (although she still has some bad wiring in her mind) that she’s probably the most stable and it’s everybody else who needs to see the doctor.
In the final conversation between Ritsako and Gendo was great too. His silence managed to keep one tiny bit of mystery in the last movie when everything else was being shown. It was great.
The final part in which all the other Eva/Angels recreated the tree-of-life, adam and lilith coming together, and brought the end to the world and when everybody else was being brought into “god” was great. It is about here that they should’ve ended the movie.
All is Rei and Rei is all. Strong Sad saves the universe. Create your own reality and turth is in your heart. But reality itself is far off. Flashback to the late nineties. Evas live forever, but lonely. Man makes his mark in the universe. Asuka and Shinji’s complicated relationship. Die, Asuka, Die! Shiva opens up her third eye. Super-evas get weird. Shinji’s regression complex. Would a pyhsco-anaylist say? AHHH! Me go crazy in my Eva!! Oh no wait, I’m homosexual. Old movie quality! N.E.R.V. is sand castle. Is Strong Sad God? Rei and Shinji are “one-with-the-gods” if you know what I mean. Mega-wuss rules over us all! Hi mom. Good-bye son. Time for God to die. Where’s everyone going? Why are we underwater? No, Pre-biotic primordial soup. Geo front?! How do you like the size of my ego Misato? Super sized neon crosses. Super Evas die or something. Shinji alone on beach. Ultimate deus ex machina. What the hell?!! ASUKA?!
:lolo: :dufus:
