Chapter 24: Broken Chapter Dog

Shiori Kaede originally thought that the movie would tell the story in reverse chronological order as to why the girl chose to commit suicide, but to his surprise, when the movie officially started, the time jumped directly to the hospital two years later.

As the hazy image gradually became clear, the girl who had been in a car accident woke up from her coma.

Nanaya borrowed the opening scene of the game "Tsukihime" for the scene of Ryougi Shiki's awakening. In the original "Overlooking the Scenery" theatrical version, because it was aimed at fans, it was not a big problem to open directly with Ryougi Shiki's apartment, because people who come to watch the movie have an idea of most of the settings and plots of "Kara" and even Type-Moon.

But in Nanaya's movie, the first thing he had to do was to explain to the audience the origin of the bug ability of [Mystic Eyes of Death Perception]. Otherwise, when the plot develops later, the audience will not be able to understand why Ryougi Shiki has become so powerful.

So in this scene, Ryougi Shiki is just like Toono Shiki in the opening of the game "Tsukihime". After discovering that something is wrong with herself, she accidentally touched these lines and broke the objects into pieces, thus knowing the ability of her eyes.

However, the person who was originally responsible for explaining for Shiki, Aozaki Aoko, has become his older sister Aozaki Touko.

Of course, in order to follow the plot of "Kara no Kyoukai", Nanaya did not completely copy the plot of "Tsukihime". He placed the encounter scene between Ryougi Shiki and Touko on that night. When Ryougi Shiki was attacked by the dead, Touko appeared and helped Ryougi Shiki to easily eliminate them.

Here, Nanaya showed the audience for the first time the power of the [Mystic Eyes of Death Perception] in battle. In order to highlight Ryougi Shiki's style, he even asked Touko to be in charge of explaining and shouting "666" on the side, without showing anyone Touko's super high level of magician ability.

Nanaya was very clear that there was only one protagonist in this movie, and as long as the character of Ryougi Shiki was well-developed, the movie would be half successful, so other characters had to stand aside when Ryougi Shiki was showing off.

"This ability is too abnormal..."

Seeing Ryougi Shiki easily cut the dying man into pieces, Shiori Kaede couldn't help but sigh.

Japanese audiences in 2000 were relatively innocent and did not have much surveillance. Compared to the situation in the future when they were used to the various special abilities of the protagonists, they were not immune to them yet.

Coupled with Nanaya's special treatment of the shots of Ryougi Shiki, all the viewers in front of the TV screen were immediately attracted by her gorgeous figure.

After successfully dealing with the dead, Touko began to take the initiative to explain Ryougi Shiki's abilities, and said that he could teach her how to use the [Mystic Eyes of Death Perception].

"This woman is so arrogant." Shiori Kaede commented unhappily with the last bite of instant noodles in her mouth, "Who does she think she is? How dare she speak in such a Japanese way."

It is obvious that this guy has fallen in love with the character of [Shiki Ryougi], and for Nanaya, his goal has been achieved.

Then the plot of the movie begins to enter the rhythm of urban legends. A girl jumps off the rooftop of the Fujou Building, followed by the second, the third...

Nanaya uses a parallel montage technique here, showing the girls jumping down one after another like dumplings on one side, and the other side showing the communication and interaction between Shiki, Mikiya and Touko, deepening the feelings between the protagonists and also giving the audience some basic worldviews of the Type-Moon world.

And the news about young girls committing suicide on TV tells everyone the passage of time.

After about 30 minutes, the movie finally progressed to the turning point of the plot - Kokutou Mikiya raided Ryougi Shiki's apartment at night.

The male protagonist of this movie first appeared at the beginning of the movie. He visited Ryougi Shiki when she was in the hospital. However, compared with the always heroic Ryougi Shiki, this male character who only has a few lines in the movie does not seem very likable.

At this time, most movies have male protagonists, because at the beginning most of the audience subconsciously thought that Kokutou Mikiya was the protagonist of the movie, but his somewhat weak personality made everyone not like him very much.

Even though the movie was halfway through and everyone realized that this Kokutou guy was not the protagonist of the movie, the impression had already been formed.

So after seeing him and Ryougi Shiki having a lively conversation alone in the apartment, many people became a little angry.

[Why can this man enter the apartment, but I can't? ! ]

Especially when Mikiya explained to Shiki that strawberries are from the Rosaceae family, Shiki's final coquettish words "I don't want to eat them" almost hit everyone's sweet spot.

[Will the director give the style to this guy? What a waste! ]

It was not until Kokutou Mikiya was affected by the ghost and fell into a deep sleep, and Ryougi Shiki decided to go to the Fujou Building to rescue Mikiya, that all the audience realized that the role played by this boy was the "beauty" in the traditional story of the hero saving the beauty.

The first battle between Ryougi Shiki and Fujou Kirie was almost entirely dominated by Ryougi Shiki, who was not only surrounded by numerous ghost girls, but also had her hands controlled. The entire battle was so intense with Nanaya's sharp short-shot editing and tense background music that it made people's heart beat faster, and Shiori Kaede's palms began to sweat.

Nanaya modified a detail here. Originally, Ryougi Shiki attacked his prosthetic limbs to get rid of Fujou Kirie. However, in order to avoid confusion in the plot development, Nanaya did not put the story of "Pain Residual" between Ryougi Shiki's awakening and this part, but planned to put it after the timeline of "Overlooking the Scenery". Of course, the premise is that Nanaya still has the opportunity to shoot the second part. If this part is GG, then there is no need to worry about it.

So at the end of this battle, Ryougi Shiki did not directly attack her prosthetic limbs, but used the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception to kill the connection between herself and Fujou Kirie, forcibly removed the other party's suggestion ability, and then fled from the Fujou Building in a panic.

When Shiori Kaede saw Ryougi Shiki walking on the street panting like a defeated dog, everyone couldn't help but worry about her. Although according to the usual plot of the movie, he could guess that Ryougi Shiki would defeat Fujou Kirie in the end, and Kuroto Kirei would definitely be rescued, but he was still worried about their fate.

Because unknowingly, this fan has put himself into the perspective of Kokutou Mikiya, and he is looking forward to Ryougi Shiki being able to rescue the other person.

Shiori Kaede's emotions are also the result of Nanaya's trick. He knows very well that a good movie must give people a sense of substitution. Of course, unlike ordinary movies where people put themselves in the shoes of the protagonist and kill all the enemies, Nanaya tries to let people put themselves in the shoes of the "male protagonist" who is waiting to be rescued.

Generally speaking, male characters with weak personalities like Kokutou Mikiya may not be very popular in Europe and the United States. What does this have to do with Nanaya? He is now in Japan.

Most Japanese people live under a high-pressure situation, which is why Japan's suicide rate remains high.

So when people find out that the male protagonist is just as ordinary as themselves, but is protected by a perfect woman, it will naturally resonate with the audience. Because everyone has fantasized about a great hero appearing to save them from danger.

This is even more true for female audiences. Although the concept of "one sister" did not become popular until after 2005, there are already some signs of it, and Nanaya is just going with the flow.

The subsequent plot follows the old-faShikioned plot of the protagonist taking a rest and then fighting the boss for the second time after upgrading his equipment.

This time, Qiye also modified the plot again, changing the original plot of Touko upgrading the prosthetic limbs to Touko making a pair of gloves for Ryougi Shiki that can catch spirits in order to achieve the same effect in the original work.

What follows is the most crucial and most magnificent final battle scene in the entire movie.

When Shiori Kaede saw Ryougi Shiki standing on the rooftop of the opposite building in a raincoat and giving a cold smile to Fujou Kirie, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva when he felt her heroic beauty that was different from the heroines in previous movies.

Then, with the epic background music playing, Ryougi Shiki jumped down from the platform.

Hereafter.

The TV screen went black.

"What the hell? This is the most exciting moment!!!"

In front of the black TV, Shiori Kaede saw his own shocked expression reflected on the screen. But he didn't have time to care about it anymore. He quickly ran to the video recorder to check what went wrong. However, he found that his video tape only recorded the scene of Ryougi Shiki jumping off the building, and all the rest were black screens.

"No way, the videotape is broken at this time?"

Forced to stop watching the film, Shiori Kaede did not give up. He immediately logged into 2CH and planned to borrow the complete video tapes from movie enthusiasts he knew. However, he soon discovered that the movie section of 2CH was full of discussions about the movie "Kara no Kyoukai".

All these discussions can be summed up in one sentence - what a piece of shit.
