Chapter 277 The Porcupine Dilemma

"The third and fourth episodes are all key descriptions of Shinji's psychology. Even the battle between the apostle and EVA is to highlight Shinji's heart. The title of the third episode "Not ringing phone number" and the subtitle "Transfer Student", as the name suggests, refers to coming to a strange group, and the loneliness in his heart, especially in connection with his existence as a hero who saved humanity, this loneliness seems to be increasingly profound."

"The title of the fourth episode 'Rain, after leaving', and the subtitle 'Porcupine Dilemma'. For film and television works, running away and raining are a common visual expression method, which not only allows the audience to feel a sad atmosphere, but also highlights the confusion in the protagonist's heart."

"Shiji wandered aimlessly in the city. The red world and the noisy sound showed his inner confusion - although the world is big, where is his home?"

"And the 'porcupine dilemma' means that in the winter of the frozen earth, a group of porcupines squeezed into a tree hole that was not warm. The weather was too cold, and the porcupines were crowded together. They had to rely on the other's body temperature to warm themselves, but the thorns on the other's body sting themselves. It left, but the warmth then left. So the porcupines frequently adjusted their distance. When the most suitable distance appeared, they no longer approached and left. This distance could not bring any injuries and still felt the warmth of each other. They had spent a warm winter like this."

"This is what the German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer mentioned in the Appendix and Supplementary. In terms of his outlook on life, due to his impression of Hindu and Buddhist thoughts, his views are mostly pessimistic."

"Sigmund Freud, a famous psychologist, a milestone in the development of subconscious theory, and the founder of the psychoanalytic school, also attracted the 'porcupine dilemma' to the psychological category."

"In life, we often encounter such a situation, wanting to get close to others and show kindness to others, but it will always hurt yourself and others. Interpersonal communication is to find a distance that can make the other party feel warm but will not hurt the other party. This is the distance of the heart."

"Distance produces beauty?" Yaohua said.

Liao Zhenying smiled and nodded: "It can be understood so."

"EVA's works also reveal this kind of 'pessimism'. However, EVA itself yearns for hope. In his story, through Shinji and the battle between EVA and the apostles, he expresses his struggle against this pessimism."

"Shiji, who escaped privately, was caught by NERV's security department. In a dark confinement room, Miri had such a conversation with him..."

The light shone in through the opened door, like an invisible line, dividing the world into black and white.

Shinji and the NERV on the wall are in a "black" place, while Miri is in a "white" world.

Although Shinji is in "black" and is illuminated by "white" to express his inner yearning. Although Miri is in "white" world, she is a dark shadow because she is from NERV.

The sharp contrast between the two people also brings a stronger sense of conflict to the audience.

"Here, Miri repeatedly asked him whether to sit or not. Shinji said his thoughts. He didn't want to sit, but if he didn't sit, Ri would sit on the EVA. Miri finally burst out, suppressing anger and pain in her voice. She hoped to do what she wanted, instead of being like a soulless puppet."

"From the beginning of a calm dialogue to the final outbreak, Miri here can be said to be the third person who changed Shinji. Shinji is a pessimistic collection. He doesn't know how to refuse, how to express his thoughts, and he is gentle and does not want to hurt others, so he bears all the pain alone. The more he lives, the more tired he gets."

"And Miri's roar pulled him out of darkness and brought him light, just like the visual manifestation here."

Yao Hua nodded constantly. As a director, he had a more professional understanding of the camera's performance techniques and agreed with Liao Zhenying's statement here.

"When Shinji was about to leave, Toji and Kensuke came to see Shinji off. Here Shinji's hidden and lonely heart was finally touched, and he was finally understood and recognized by others. He felt the warmth. His lack of friends and attention was finally filled."

"Shiji is no longer silent and blames others. He faces his heart. Facing the changes of the three people, it turns into a turning point here, and Shinji does not leave."

"Here, Miri, who came to the end, was separated from Shinji by the platform. The still shot of 47 seconds of looking at each other is very exquisite. The expressiveness here is far better than that of the comics!" Yaohua couldn't help but interrupted.

Liao Zhenying said: "I don't understand the camera very much, so I can only analyze it psychologically. Shinji always thought that Miri regarded herself as an outsider and a tool. Therefore, seeing Miri here was moved and feeling that she was no longer lonely. And Miri was relieved to Shinji, and she saw Shinji's growth."

"Shiji's expression has always been sad and confused, and there is finally a hint of joy and softening here. He said 'I'm back', and Miri replied 'Welcome home'. These two ordinary conversations show that the two people finally opened their hearts, got to know each other, and accepted each other."

"The fifth episode started with the start-up test of Li and the Zero, and the Zero went wild. The reason for the rampage was the driver's psychological unstableness, which said, 'She was in a state of unbelievable state'. Li gave people a cold feeling since she appeared. She had never shown it before, and she could not see that her heart was so chaotic."

"The chaos that Li cannot express in her heart is reflected by the rampage of the No. 0 Machine. Therefore, at the beginning, I proposed that EVA is just a tool to embody the mind, and it is optional. As long as the audience can feel the changes in the character's mind, it can become anything."

"No, no, no, I still firmly believe in my point of view. Human heart represents reason, and EVA represents desire. The chaos in Li's heart is the chaos of reason, and the chaos of reason cannot control desire, so it has a violent turn."

Although Liao Zhenying's views are indeed eye-catching, Yaohua does not agree with this. He feels that his views are also reasonable and there is nothing that cannot be explained.

"Director of Medicine, Professor Liao, here is extremely cold, and Ikari Gendo, who is like a cold-blooded animal, shows extraordinary concern for Ling Boli. Is his concern for Li? Or is it because..."

Seeing that the two of them were quarreling, Jiang Yan hurriedly asked a question and brought the discussion back to the story of "EVA".

"At the beginning, I thought it might be the reason behind it, but after thinking about it, Gendo Ikari was a very rational person. Until the end, his favorite was still his wife, and there was no other substitute, so this didn't make sense."

"And Miri and Ritsuko both said that Shinji, like Genou Ikari, are both people who are not good at expressing feelings. Genou Ikari's feelings for Riki are very complicated. They are both tools, part of the plan, and the shadow of important people in their hearts. They may have multiple feelings."

The medicine director thought about it and answered.

Liao Zhenying nodded and said, "Ri is exactly the same as Shinji at the beginning, even worse than Shinji, because Shinji at least has a yearning for hope, but Li has no performance on this. Shinji has made friends and part of his heart has been repaired, but Li, who has been a year earlier than Shinji, is still alone."

"Li is lonely, and she doesn't know anything, and she can't show anything. Therefore, she can't see the chaos in her heart on the outside, but it's obvious from the bad environment in her home."

"In the simple room, there are only the most basic living furniture, blood-stained bandages, a pile of junk food without nutrition, and only a broken glasses, shining brightly under the sunlight through the gaps in the curtains."

"This glasses are the glasses that Gendo Ikari broke when he saved her. Rei solemnly put away the glasses, which shows that part of her heart has been repaired, so she did not go crazy in the next re-start experiment."

Jiang Yan suddenly noticed a place and said, "By the way, Li came out after taking a shower, naked, but she didn't react to her body being seen by Shinji. Instead, she moved her glasses to Shinji, showing that she was particularly angry. Even if she was seen or touched, her reaction was extremely cold, as if she had no shame."

"Afterward, Teacher Huang Shaotian's analysis suggested that Adam and Eve had a sense of shame after eating the fruit of wisdom. Does this mean that Li did not 'eat the fruit of wisdom'?"

This is a question raised by Jiang Yan based on the analysis she heard and combined with her own understanding. Although Li is a replica of human beings, she is the soul of the second apostle Lilith. "Didn't eat the fruit of wisdom" refer to the apostle here, so does Li Chi-naked appearance here also imply her identity?

"In terms of Huang Shaotian's analysis, it is indeed true. However, lack of shame can also be considered as Li's incomplete mind." Liao Zhenying answered from his own point of view.

...

In "Meeting Premiere", the two people came from different industries and were doing different work. They were just two people who were completely unmatched and were arguing about the same work.

Netizens are arguing about this work, but the content they discuss is not that profound.

"I don't care about anything about shame, wisdom fruit, and apostle. I only know that when I see this picture, I want to chop Shinji's claws!"
