the Jap. anime 魔剎 has been showing on TVB every sat. nite (12:30am - 2am) for more den half a year.
last week i watched da last episode (# 74?) wif mixed feelingz --- sad, cuz Mr. 古利馬 died.. he became such a nice guy!! & disappointed, cuz I can’t watch this show anymore… but @ da same time a bit happy cuz I dun have to stay up late anymore.
I didnt used to watch Jap. Anime dat much, mainly becuz I dunno what to watch & most of the timez I “forgot” to watch them. When I saw the ad for 魔剎 last year, I decided that I could NEVER miss this show. I was right. 魔剎 is definitely a must-see in ur life. Even if u dun like watching Jap. Anime (or cartoonz, or whatever..).
The story is kinda complicated. It's mainly about a pair of twins (da bro, 約翰, is the MONSTER) and 天馬醫生. I must have missed many detailz cuz I didn't understand many parts. The show revealed bitz of details in every episode, thus viewers have to pay Extra attention & remember the past events (but itz quite hard since I watch it once a week.. most of da times I forgot what happened last time).
Was the monster in 約翰 right @ da beginning? Or did his mum planted it into him? Or, as some ppl say, was it transferred from his sis, 麗娜, to him?
I believe there is a monster in every one of us. If u let ur monster out, then the monster will devour u & u'll become a monster.
Tho it soundz ridiculous, most of the ppl in this world have chosen to become a monster.
Why? Cuz being a “good” person is too hard... When we were small, the “strong” children always bullied the weak ones. You may think, the weak ones didn’t bully other people, so they must be good, mustn’t they?? Not necessarily. They might not bully otherz cuz they’re not strong enuf, or maybe there aren’t other “weaker” kidz around.
I think 天馬醫生 is a 100% good person. Although he has suffered a lot & was mistaken as a serial killer, he kept to his morals & he influenced ppl around him and taught them to lead a happy life… that there is a future.
What would u do if u were 天馬醫生?
Many might have chosen to give up. Or others may change and become aggressive, violent, & really become a serial killer. Or… Would you become 天馬醫生 if u lead a life similar to his?
My own life has been extraordinary (i dunno whether itz good or bad) since I was born & my whole life is determined to be complicated… becuz of my family background.
I dun think I'm as miserable as 天馬醫生. Well, at least I'm not mistaken as a serial killer.
Altho I'm still so young, I've seen many, many monsters in my life.
Monsters within my family, relatives, friends… some of them who were once close to me.
They're not as monstrous as 約翰, of course! They didn't kill people.
They just accept money from someone, and do things as they are told. That's the deal.
I dunno if they have a choice or not. But I think they do. Everyone has choices.
How do u feel after doing such things?
If u feel guilty, I'm happy for u. U are still very human.
If u don't, then u're on u're way to becoming another 約翰, another 怪物.

to buy EVERYTHING... OMG...................................................................................................
