I have watched a movie, “Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time”. It is for people who want to know a certain ending. Any sorts of frustrations and struggles against them (both rewarded and unrewarded) are involved. Socio-politically it is a story of human relations, and literary-historically it is supposed to be the last episode of a famous animated movie “Evangelion”. There are many battle scenes involved, but they capture various modes of battles during human ages. There are scenes with spears, javelins or shields. There are scenes of cannons. There are also scenes for flying objects. Sceneries of this movie also include various sorts of them. There are near-futuristic sceneries. There are sceneries resembling mid-Showa period of Japan. There are also sceneries of terraced rice-fields. They are all integrated in this movie. They are patches of timelessly interesting objects. On the other hand, there are also frozen characters who do not have developed their existence so well, and characters who underwent irreversible arrows of time. For human, the development of time is stacked or inescapable. These differences among receptions of time might be a major theme of this movie, together with the final escape. It is good to see a development of mind during interactions with real world, such as agricultures. There are a lot of materials that are not described so well, and they invoke various interpretations.
From the viewpoint of structuralism there are a lot of possibilities for parallels, echoes, reflections and repetitions against the structures of the movie. It is notable that women are the strongest. There are many shots unusual for animated movie.
Overall, it is satisfiable for people who would like to know a certain ending.
