First of all, in terms of names, translation is problematic. Literally translated in Japanese, it means "Gu after a sunny rain forest" can be understood as the names of the two protagonists Xiaoqing and Gu, and it can also be understood as "Heavy rain after a sunny rain forest". ..
Second, Abu's identity is not directly indicated in the whole animation and the second cartoon. But at the end of the second cartoon, Xiaoqing became a teacher and married Mary, and then they had a baby who looked like Abu. Abramovich and Xiaoqing disappeared after saying goodbye in their dreams, erasing everyone's memory of her except Xiaoqing.
Finally, people have learned a lot about this animation. The simplest thing is that this is a simple and funny animation ... but LZ obviously doesn't think so ... but he has his own thoughts ... indeed, the author wants to express much more than that. ..
The first understanding ... although this animation is full of joy and grotesque ... but anyone who has watched it too much knows that there is an unspeakable sadness in it ... The life of the protagonist Xiaoqing is actually very miserable, but the comedy of the film masks this. A wayward mother who will never grow up, a father who doesn't care about her, and a heartless friend, what if Xiaoqing lives in reality? Must be a very awkward and twisted black child. So such a child can only accompany himself by creating an imaginary friend. She is not only a mother who can take care of herself, but also a father who can protect herself and a friend who can understand herself. Such a fictional character is Abu.
If you think along this line of thought, in fact, many plots of Hot are strongly suggestive. Abu represents an imaginary world (look at the graffiti background and animals in her belly), and her swallowing of the real world represents the struggle and integration of the two worlds in Xiaoqing's spiritual world. On the one hand, Xiaoqing's reason does not allow this kind of devouring. On the other hand, his subconscious hopes that Abu's world can replace this cold reality.
The second understanding .. Some people say that Abu was Xiaoqing's lover in his last life ... and so on ... I think there is no basis ... so I will elaborate on it.
The third understanding ... implied in the cartoon ... Abu is Xiaoqing's daughter ... and he went to play with his father. ...
Personally, I agree with the first understanding ... and after reading it, I feel that this is not a simple nonsense work ... I have thought a lot ... I have some ideas ... Then I went to see some other people's understandings ... and absorbed the feelings I got from understanding.
I think this is the charm of Japanese animation ... Many works convey many ideas and concepts of the author ... This requires the audience to think and taste ... In my opinion, Japanese animation is an art form no less than movies ... In other words, some famous movies are also inspired by some good animations ... and of course, there are many boring animations. It is up to the audience to distinguish them.
The above ... is superfluous ... Please forgive me.
