約束のネバーランド　2020日　平川雄一朗監督

Spoiler attention

I've always thought that it was a Japanese remake of Kazuo Ishiguro's "Never Let Me Go" (2010 British and American director Mark Romanek).

The settings for "dormitory" and "orphanage" are slightly different, but the idea is the same. And both are "isolated" from the general public. However, the purpose of "breeding (?)" There is slightly different. The former is "organ transplantation" and the latter is "edible". Well, it's similar, but organ transplants are a direct critique of modern society. However, if you expand it to become a "human being as a domestic animal", the criticism disappears. Moreover, if the livestock is eaten by a monster rather than a human, the desire to defeat the monster will be lessened.

In fact, orphans only try to "escape." And I don't know what the hope ("The Promised Neverland") is. It's just a " will place that will not be killed directly ". And if they could escape, I don't know if it would affect other orphanages. The system will be repaired soon, although it may do some damage to the "owner". And it will be "updated". Rebellion only leads to system updates and enhancements. And another orphan will be raised again.

The enormous size of the system creates the complexity of the system and makes it difficult to manage. That can trigger a collapse. However, the management method is also constantly fixed and updated. So it doesn't collapse easily. And that bloat will not be a collapse on the part of system administrators. We have no choice but to involve orphans. It's the same as the current structure (system) of capitalism.

Then, you have the choice of "pretending not to know" and living happily until you are killed in the orphanage, or "if they are the same, let's rebel."

Maybe the final question is "the existence of other orphans". It's also the "orphans in the same orphanage" that you can talk to and interact with directly, but it's also the "orphans in other orphanages". However, the more I think about it, the smaller the existence of "I". And I come up with it. "What is my" existence "?" Like the system, do I "exist"? If I close my eyes, I can't see the system.

Does the system exist without me? Does the system exist even if I sleep? Isn't the existence of "I" and the system only my "dream"? I'm just believed to have the system and other orphans even if I don't exist.

It is a conflict between "materialism" and "spiritualism". It feels like an unresolved conflict. I can imagine a world without me, but I can't "experience" it. Living I cannot experience the afterlife.

Now, let's relax with a cup of tea. I'm sure it's part of the "system" that makes you think this way.
