Earth’s Disease
“Humans are a
disease, a cancer of this planet”. A line from one of my most favourite movie
of Keanu Reeves (but I like “Constantine” even more) the Matrix. It just says
that humans are nothing but a burden to this world. We have poisoned and
savaged the only planet that continues to cater us. If we are all eliminated
will something happen in this world close to destruction? That is one of the
questions that is asked in the movie adaptation of the Anime “Parasyte”. Ms
Eliz let us watch the movie and we were asked to make a blog about it.
I have
already watched the anime version of Parasyte and ever since its trailer is
shown in the internet I wanted to watch. But I don’t have the money to buy an
original copy of its DVD. Luckily Ms Eliz chose it to be the movie that we are
going to make a blog with.
The storyline
in the movie is not so far from the anime. It is still about the story of a
high school student with the name Shinichi Izumi (portrayed by Shota Sometani)
and the parasite who tried to invade his brain but failed because Shinichi is
wearing an earphone and that blocks the way of the parasite. The parasite was
still able to invade Shinichi’s right arm, from that moment everything in
shinchi’s life has changed. He named the parasite Migi
and they agreed that it would be best if they live mutually because of their
condition one will die without the other. Migi lives by digesting Shinichi’s
blood and but Migi is protecting Shinichi from the other parasites that ties to
kill him.
There are
still some small details that is different from the anime. Like the scene when
he killed Shimada using a metal stick as an arrow and Migi as the bow. In the
anime he just threw a rock with brute force. Another is before he fought a
parasite that has a human host he first fought one with a dog host, this wasn’t
followed in the movie. He also met a psychic girl who can sense him and a guy
with a parasite living in his chin. Even with this revisions I still love the
movie.
The effects
used are close to what I have expected. I love the fight scenes and when there
is someone being slaughtered. The sound effects is good and matches the
atmosphere.
The
movie/anime Parasyte is amazing not only because of its cool fight scenes, its
plot and its soundtrack but rather the message that it holds. That humans is
now the world’s greatest problem and enemy. That if we are not going to do
something our ways the Earth might find a way to eradicate us. It can be in the
form of a natural disaster, a disease, a plague or a creature that is determined
to eliminate human life.
