Story introduction:
Sagi Tsukiko is the designer of the popular doll Malumi. On her way home at night, Tsukiko was injured and hospitalized. She claimed that she was hit by a hand A "stick boy" was attacked with a baseball bat, wearing roller skates shoes, and wearing a baseball cap. After that, attacks by "stick boys" occurred frequently...
2 police officers intervened in the investigation. During the investigation In the film, they discovered that the "Ball and Stick Boy" can appear anytime and anywhere, and all victims seem to be under tremendous pressure...
The plot of this anime is tight-paced, and the suspense is set up in the first episode - who is the "Ball and Stick Boy", " The identity of "The Boy with a Ball and a Stick" whets your appetite, and combined with the montage and editing, the whole series is full of suspense. When I saw the second half, I was even more shocked by the truth of the case, the reversal of the plot, and the author's imagination. " The identity of "Ball and Stick Boy" is also completely unexpected, and he is indeed Satoshi Kon.
I have to say that Satoshi Kon's research and depiction of human psychology are really meticulous and realistic. Every character in the anime is facing tremendous pressure, and most of the characters choose to escape, and even long for the "ball and stick boy" to give You can strike yourself to free yourself from stress and troubles, but you can only get a moment of relaxation after being attacked. The troubles still exist, and life is still painful or even worse.
This anime is Satoshi Kon’s only full-length anime. It seems to be a suspense anime, but in fact it is a criticism and depiction of escapist thoughts and behaviors and collective anxiety.
This anime is like a bowl of strong wine, making people vomit out all the juice they have drunk in their lives. The sharp and straightforward lines give people a blow, forcing people to face the reality they don't want to face.
There are a few sentences in the anime that hit the nail on the head. If you are in frustration, pressure or encounter difficulties, I hope these few sentences can give you courage and encouragement
"You just want to escape, you cannot escape reality, think that escaping can The idea of salvation is just a fantasy. No matter how painful it is, we must face the reality and get through it together.”
“Even so, we didn’t give up. How could we keep wallowing in frustration?”
“People are like that. No matter how painful it is, we can survive. Stand up and face reality”
“My destination is long gone, the reality of losing my destination is my real destination”
