In-depth interpretation of the new theater version of "EVA Evangelion"-Chapter 1: The meaning of the name

I finished watching the final chapter of the new theater version of "EVA Evangelion". I know this represents the end of an era.

The ending of the final chapter is not a perfect ending, but a complete ending. The fate of each character has a final direction.

In this issue, I will start from four chapters, namely " name meaning", " new angel battle ", " disappeared fourteen years" and "The last arrangement of " is an in-depth interpretation of the new theater version of EVA.

The first chapter, the meaning of the name

The titles of the new theater version are "Preface", "Broken", "Q" and "End". Each chapter is one word, neat and tidy.

"Preface" and "End" are relatively simple to understand, that is, the beginning of the story and the end of the story. And because of the existence of the old version of eva, as far as director Hideaki Anno is concerned, the once classic is both an achievement and a burden. So the title of "Preface" is also very meaningful. It is necessary to retain people's core impression of eva, but also to break people's inherent cognition of eva.

At first glance, the content of "Preface" is a re-enactment of episodes 1 to 6 of the tv version, and even many classic storyboards have been kept intact. For the old eva fan, the memories full of 10 years ago are back, and this is still the eva we are familiar with.

But after careful study,The audience will also find that the "Preface" is different from the old version of eva. The most obvious is that the setting of the Eighteen Apostles has been changed to the Thirteen Apostles. In the following pages, Half Cat will also replay the new version of the Apostle Sequence. And this huge change also means huge adjustments to the subsequent plot, as well as changes in the impact conditions.

In summary, we can understand it as the first chapter of the new theater version, "Preface", which uses the old eva story as the prelude to the new story.

From the second chapter "Broken", no matter from the screen, the plot, the setting, the characters are a brand new chapter.

It can be said that the meaning of the word break is fully reflected in the second chapter. This is also a huge self-breakthrough after Anno Hideaki was questioned when the new theater version of "Foreword" was released.

We must know the classics of the old version of eva for all to see. Any damage to the previous work may lead to accusations. Many people think that Hideaki Anno should not shoot a new theater version, because too many famous directors have lost their embarrassing sequel.

And the second chapter "Broken" turned out, pressing a mute button for all the voices that questioned.

The title of the third chapter is the most intriguing one-the letter "Q".

many interpretations,Will find clues from the first letter of Q or the pronunciation of Q. I think it all makes sense. But I want to try to interpret it from another latitude-from the shape of the letter. Chinese, Japanese, and English are actually not universal languages. Only patterns are the universal languages.

The shape of Q is a circle with a small tail. The circle represents the cycle or rebirth. So what does the tail lead from the circle to the outside of the circle represent, I just don't say, you should have guessed it too. It is to get out of the cycle and reincarnation.

The old version of the story tells the second impact to the third impact, and the new version of "Preface" and "Broken" are also about the second impact to the third impact.

However, the form of the third impact has changed dramatically. The old version of and Shinji have completed the completion of humanity due to lack of personality, and the human being who finally turned into lcl liquid has gone out of dreams. , Back to the world.

At the end of "Broken", Shinji himself made up for the flaws in his character and broke through his own limitations. While saving Aya Hari, he triggered a third impact, and the human world was devastated. Blow.

If viewed from the perspective of human beings, this impact is undoubtedly a disaster for mankind.

But if you look down from the perspective of God, the fate of mankind may be seen Will be very different.

There is an old Chinese saying that it is not broken but not standing. "Broken" is not necessarily a bad thing for mankind.

In "Q", and Nagisa Kaoru said,Other species adapt to the environment by evolving themselves. Only human beings change the environment to adapt to themselves. This also led to the stagnation of human evolution.

The old theatrical version is really your third impact, the theme is return, but the theme of the third impact of the new theatrical version, I think it is evolution. The small tail of the letter Q implies that human beings have found a breakthrough and got out of the loop. And what happened unexpectedly in Chapter 2 "Broken" is precisely this breakthrough.

The third chapter of the new theater version "Q", fourteen years later, most of the earth was affected by the third impact and was shrouded in scary red. Vitality at all.

But this is not the most surprising place. The most surprising thing is the complete reversal of the fate of a group of key figures. In the following pages, I will also take you to analyze what happened in this blank 14 years, which led to such drastic changes in the characters.

Finally, the final chapter of the new theater version "The End" , this title is indeed worthy of the name. With the documentary "Goodbye, all Evangelion", it is not only Evangelion who waved goodbye, but also the innocent boy obsessed with Evangelion.

In the following pages, I will taste it with everyone. Anno Hideaki carefully arranged the farewell performance for each character.

Just the title, I have said so much, I am a little impatient. But what I say next may be even more depressing.

Because what I am going to talk about next is the subtitle. If you watch the film carefully, you will find that the subtitle of the first chapter "Preface" is 1.11,

The subtitle of the second chapter "Broken" is 2.22,

Chapter 3 The subtitle of "Q" is 3.33,

The subtitle of Chapter 4 "The End" is 3.0+1.01.

I don’t know what you will think of when you see these numbers. What I immediately think of is the version number of the software.

For minor changes, the number after the decimal point is increased, and for larger changes, the number before the decimal point is increased. Therefore, the subtitle 1.11 of "Preface" indicates that it is only a minor change based on the old version of eva. The subtitle 2.22 of "Broken" is a qualitative change. The subtitle of "Q" 3.33 is based on "Bro". A qualitative overflight occurred. The meaning of these three digital headings actually coincides with the meaning of the above text headings.

But why should there be such a subtitle? One can't help but raise questions.

So, let’s look at the first act of the final chapter. The Wille squad sent members to Paris, the city of flowers that became blood after the third impact. The team members wore isolation suits and held their computers for a long time. The keyboard,

Finally, a huge pillar covered with red heraldry was inserted into the ground, the blood of Paris dissipated, and the original color was restored. The city of romance seems to have been infected with some kind of virus, but now, the virus has been wiped out.

In the final chapter, Asuka often plays video games non-stop,The interface of this video game is also blood-red, so similar to the color of the real world.

So I have an immature speculation that the new theater version is not a world of reincarnation, but an electronic program. What did you think of, I thought of "The Matrix".

The midfield of the first three chapters will have English subtitles, which are you are alone, you are not alone. You can advance, you can not advance. You can redo, you can not redo.

This seems to be a different parameter in the program. After entering the system, it produces different results, so it has a different version number.

The subtitle 3.0+1.01 of "The End" is different from the previous three chapters. What does this mean? 3.0 represents the world after the third chapter "Q" Shinji launched the third impact, while +1.01 represents a new operating system. I think this operating system is "reality", the reality of double quotes. The function is to restore the world to the "real" appearance, the reality with double quotes.

With this system, Paris can be restored to its original state,

With this system, at the end of the movie, we saw the beauty of the real world and saw Shinji and Real Hippo, became CP. Why they are, I will finally come to reveal.
