I want to eat your pancreas: if I can reincarnate, I want to be you
The title is a line in the lyrics of a favorite song, heard the year before, translated as, if you can reincarnate, I want to be you.
The first time I saw this line of lyrics, my chest was stuffy, but I don’t know why.
If I can reincarnate, I want to be you.
In fact, “I want to eat your pancreas” is “I want to be you”; “I want to be like you”.
Although she finally left, but men have actually eaten her pancreas getting along with each other every day is, in a sense, the process of gradually eating a person.
The two people I’ve liked before, they were both very different from me. I used to be sad, not dark, but I always had a lack of energy and a love of escape. I always had sad thoughts in my head, and I thought I was broken, and I always wanted someone to love me and save me, and maybe I could live on. They look very sound and bright, like the so-called opposite of me, I want to be like them, I want to eat their pancreases
Although they did not come to “save” me in the end, and I was not close to them in the end, I was always alone, but I did change, I actually became the bright person who could make some people laugh, someone wanted to eat my pancreas
No terminals, no rescues, no girls dropping in from the sky to take you to the seaside to watch fireworks, no one lending you The Little Prince (although I did lend it to someone who didn’t read it for half a year??) “, but someone lightly say something to you, accompany you to do something, and then they start from a certain point in time gradually gone, you also move on
But I already ate the pancreas.
Some of those people will live with me, in the bright places, in the soft places, even in the faint places
Life is colored by a certain encounter, which I think is a very legendary and unimaginable thing, but it seems to be something that happens silently in everyday life, only the color emerges unconsciously so that you can’t tell whether you are related to the person or not, and the person doesn’t die later, just gradually disappears, but that’s all
At the end of the film, there is a scene imitating “The Little Prince”, in which the heroine plants cherry blossoms (in a sense, it is also a spring tree) on her own planet, protects it with a glass cover and takes care of it, and watches the sunset again and again. The planet becomes colorful with the growth of flowers. At this time, the hero’s planet enters the picture, which is a barren planet without color. Male master bowed his head lightly smiled, said I am not bad, you are right, I am just timid.
The picture representing the death of the heroine is very similar to the illustration of the Little Prince bitten by a snake in the Little Prince, which makes me very sad to see. It is the posture of leaning back slightly with your eyes covered.
In a sense, The Little Prince is also a story of constant encounters and departures. The little prince raises the rose, leaves the rose, meets the fox, leaves the fox, meets the pilot, and finally leaves the pilot again.
When the little prince was about to leave the fox, the fox said that he would surely cry. The little prince, perhaps feeling guilty, said, “It is your fault. I did not want to because you pain. You asked me to tame you.” The fox said so. The little prince said that you had gained nothing. “The fox said,” Because of the color of the wheat, I have benefited.
What is the reason for the color of wheat?
“Do you see that wheat field over there? I don’t eat bread. Wheat is of no use to me. I am indifferent to the wheat fields. And that’s a real bummer. But you have blonde hair. Then, once you have tamed me, it will be wonderful. Wheat, is golden, it will remind me of you. And I might even like the sound of the wind in the wheat…”
Parting is sad, and I don’t want parting, but I don’t think meeting is filled with sadness and meaninglessness because of parting. Some people think she died also changed the male master alone life is too much, I do not think so. The hero actually chose to change, away from and close to people will actually have sad time, but he began to try to live close to people. It was his choice. Sakura is dead. He will cry. He will cry. But he would prefer cherry blossoms, “The Little Prince,” and use more touch than numbers to feel human body temperature.
The people we love also make us love more things, even when out of life, will always be a part of our life.
If you look at it from the point of view of what you’ve learned recently, it’s a classic example of a cold, withdrawn (and even a bit bitter) split male attracted to a passionate acting female. It’s not so obvious in the original, but it’s really overdone in the anime… I’ve seen some people say that this movie is similar to Four Lies. I haven’t seen Four Lies, but it seems to be a story about a split man being “saved” by a show woman. I wonder if the core of Neon’s works is split and saved by acting.
