The story between Sayaka and Kyoko has come to an end for the time being.
The last shot, which seemed beautiful but was actually a finishing move, was extremely destructive to the audience.
There were many audience members who burst into tears like Lily did, and they were not all girls, there were also many male audience members.
Fortunately, the audience is relieved that the movie has now reached its dark end.
Even if there will be tear-jerking plots like this in the future, there shouldn't be any more unacceptable scenes.
The worst that can happen is that everyone will be wiped out in the end~
It's not like I haven't seen it in "Inferno" before.
The audience members said that we are all experienced viewers who have watched countless movies. What kind of scenes have we not seen?
It's a pity that although everyone thought so in their hearts, no one said it out loud.
Otherwise, Nanaya would definitely slap him back and then make a mockery.
"You have never seen a scene like this before!"
It's no wonder the audience thinks this way.
After the senior sister's U-turn, the plot of "Madoka Magica" has been heading towards a dark direction.
Although there are a few moments of brightness and warmth occasionally, the story becomes increasingly darker.
However, for the audience, this plot direction is a process of gradual acceptance, and the degree of acceptance is gradually deepening.
Therefore, the audience will be surprised by these plots, but with the previous foreshadowing, they will not be particularly surprised.
This is also why when the TV version of Nanaya's previous life was broadcast.
Starting from the third episode, due to the unexpected U-turn in the plot, the popularity of "Madoka Magica" was suddenly pushed to its peak.
After that, this animation series has been constantly making exciting moves, and the discussion about it has been increasing.
But this kind of continuous growth is very normal for a popular anime series.
Even in the 8th episode when the secret of the magical girl was revealed, the popularity of the anime still did not deviate from the normal range.
But in the 10th episode, which tells the story of Homura Akemi's reincarnation, the popularity of "Madoka Magica" experienced another explosive rise.
To put it bluntly, when everyone thinks they have figured out Gen's tricks, he gives you another big surprise.
Someone once described "Madoka Magica" like this.
After watching the eighth episode, you will despair;
After watching episode nine, you'll be manic;
Waiting till the tenth episode...
"What…what is this!!"
Many audience members roared in anger in the dark theater.
"What kind of plot is this?!"
Watching Homura Akemi go through reincarnation again and again;
Watching this originally shy and introverted child gradually become the black-haired girl who suppressed herself and remained silent;
Looking at that weak girl who couldn't even say hello clearly, and the pain of repeating the same ending over and over again for her friend.
"No matter how many times I will do it again!"
"My only friend."
"As long as this is for you, I don't mind being trapped in this endless maze forever!"
On the screen, the scene returned to the beginning of the movie, where Madoka met Homura Akemi while holding the injured QB.
Although it is the same scene, after experiencing nearly 2 hours of plot, the audience's mentality towards this scene has already changed.
The audience got reacquainted with the girl named Homura Akemi and was once again impressed by the story called "Madoka Magica".
"Although it has given me countless surprises, this plot is really beyond my expectations."
A story that repeats itself endlessly over a period of time isn't a very novel idea in Hollywood.
Movies like "Run Lola Run", "Groundhog Day" and "The Butterfly Effect" all tell stories with similar plots.
Similarly, there will be movies such as "Edge of Tomorrow" and "Happy Death Day" that will also be presented to the audience in the future.
But these stories all have their own fixed routines.
For example, when experiencing the first reincarnation, the reincarnators were all rookies.
Then, by reloading the game again and again, you will eventually become familiar with the story and complete it in one go.
But the story of "Madoka Magica" is different.
Homura Akemi did not enter the reincarnation cycle passively, but asked for it on her own initiative.
This makes her very different from other protagonists of similar stories.
Most reincarnations find the optimal solution through repeated attempts.
But Homura Akemi had her own goals from the very beginning.
More importantly, the audience did not see the specific process of Homura Akemi's reincarnation.
Even before knowing that Homura Akemi was a time reincarnation, Nanaya had already laid out the result of Homura Akemi's reincarnation in front of the audience.
At the same time, in order to allow the audience to better understand this plot, Nanaya made significant changes to the narrative rhythm of the tenth episode.
You know, after the tenth episode of Nanaya's Last Life was broadcast, many viewers didn't understand what it was about at first.
Many people understood the plot of the tenth episode only after reading relevant interpretations on the Internet.
This is certainly related to the stream of consciousness in the new house and the abrupt connection of the plot.
So without modifying the plot content, Nanaya changed the way of telling the story.
He sought inspiration from various detective movies and asked Homura Akemi to make a clue reasoning wall in her room.
Homura Akemi used the more important plots she encountered in her countless reincarnations as clues in the mystery drama, and then pulled a few thin ropes to string these things together.
In this way, the audience can see the relationship between each reincarnation more concretely and understand some key information.
The audience then felt even more sympathetic towards Homura.
So when Homura Akemi hugged Madoka, seemingly seeking comfort.
The audience once again felt their eyes sore.
"How can I possibly convey my true feelings... Because you and I exist in different times..."
I listened to Homura Akemi, unable to hold back any longer, expressing in an excited voice the feelings between her and Madoka.
The audience kept cursing Kiryu Nanaya in their hearts.
"This movie is really more tear-jerking as it goes on."
Miss Katsushira gently pinched the corners of her eyes twice.
Even she had red eyes.
"The next step should be the decisive battle. I hope Homura Akemi can do well this time." Miss Katsushira prayed silently for the long black hair in front of the screen.
"I'm afraid it's difficult, after all, there's only one person, right?" another reporter analyzed, "I guess there will be another reincarnation, and then the five magical girls will gather together to defeat the enemy and enter the Happy Ending."
Miss Katsushira asked back, "Do you think Kiryu Nanaya will write such a happy ending?"
"Why not?" The other party looked at her strangely, "This movie has to make money, right? It won't be good for him to make it a bad ending, right?"
This is obviously not just the opinion of one person, most of the audience have the same idea.
After all, that's what all reincarnation movies do.
Otherwise, how can it be called a time loop movie?
Isn't this kind of repetitive plot meant to achieve a perfect ending where everyone is happy?
"I have made it this far, but in the end I fell back."
There was a hint of nervousness on Roger Ebert's face.
The setting of time cycle is indeed clever. It makes Homura Akemi, who was originally redundant in the story but extremely popular, suddenly become the [protagonist] of the whole story.
But this also made Roger Ebert have the same idea as others - will the movie be forced to have a perfect ending?
"You're not such an unwise director, are you?" Roger Ebert dodged anxiously, "You won't lower yourself to the level of Michael Bay, will you, Nanaya Kiryu?"
However, it is a pity that the subsequent plot development is indeed very close to what everyone imagined.
At least that's the case for the first half.
The Night of the Witch, or rather the Night of Walpurgis is worthy of being the most powerful witch.
Despite careful planning before the battle, Homura Akemi was still no match for her opponent.
Although Homura Akemi succeeded in injuring him with her powerful firearm, this ticklish attack could not determine the victory.
"Sure enough, is it going to be reincarnation again?"
The audience breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Homura Akemi preparing to embark on another reincarnation journey.
"It's over. I couldn't hold on until the last moment."
Roger Ebert closed his eyes in pain. He couldn't bear to see his favorite movie become a popular entertainment product.
However, Homura Akemi stopped at the last moment.
Because Homura recalled what QB had told her - if it happened again, it would only increase the karma on Madoka's body.
His actions would only lead Madoka into deeper despair.
"I did so many things, and the result is…"
Homura realized that she was heading toward the hopeless end that all magical girls were bound to face, and tears of pain welled up in her eyes.
Not only Homura Akemi, but even the audience in the screening room felt a little confused.
If tragedy is inevitable, how will this story end? !
"That's enough, Homura."
When everyone was struggling, the protagonist who had been a supporting role throughout the entire movie finally stood up.
"I want to sign a contract and become a magical girl"
Madoka was not as excited this time as she was at the beginning of the story;
Nor was he as cowardly as he was after Mami's death;
There is no such confusion as Sayaka experienced after her fall.
This time, there was only determination in Madoka's eyes. After going through so many things, she finally understood her true wishes and her mission.
"So, Kaname Madoka," QB asked with the same emotionless voice, "What exactly is this wish that costs you your soul...?"
"My wish..."
Madoka took a deep breath and opened her eyes again.
"Destroy all witches before they are conceived!"
"All the witches in all universes, past and future, belong to me..."
This wish goes beyond the level of interfering with time and defies the law of cause and effect. It is a wish that should not exist and cannot be fulfilled.
It came true after Kaname Madoka made a wish.
