Anno was trying to encourage everyone to quit being a weeb and he meant it. He told us, what life awaits after we leave the theatre, the story and everyting behind.
That’s not what he was telling people. He was just telling people to face reality instead of hiding away in anime. It’s okay to enjoy things, just as long as you don’t use it to run away.
Hideaki Anno says through this scene: "Accept life as it is. Don't evade it with fantasies." And he does it, depicting everyday life. As it is. He tells us that there's a real world out there, with challenges. But it should be accepted as it is.
I personally FUCKING LOVE this scene. This scene save me, I mean Evangelion save me. After all that flashing animated scene, I realized that there's a world out there next to me. The way they cut the scene from anime into a "real life film", is so cinematic and atmospheric like I just can't.
I totally agree, Evangelion is my favourite piece of fiction for a reason . It’s so masterfully created. nothing else is like it. It saved me just like you.
Its to remind us of whats important that the Real adventure of being alive and free. The world is your oyster no matter how depressing the situation my be for the day or years, somthing will satisfy your soul, you just need to get out there and take the opportunity its never to late. I know this to be true as I am alive :)
When I first saw End of Evangelion, I audibly gasped when it went from animation to live action. Love this scene. Lots of meaning in it. At 2:25 they’re all 3 mannequins and not real people.
@@ReXoRofc ua-cam.com/video/uLyPNje8oiw/v-deo.html This was what I watched. Unfortunately it’s all Japanese with no subs, so it was mostly just a visual thing. It follows the making of an extended live action segment that never made it to the final cut.
I really have to wonder if maybe Anno included this shot to convey that through virtue of its popularity, Evangelion and its characters were becoming a one-dimensional commodity, very much in the sense that he initially intended Evangelion to condemn.
Definitely. There was a screening in my husband’s college in an auditorium the first time I watched it, 18 years ago. I kid you not, I thought for a moment the audience in the film was a live recording of us. It messed with my mind in many ways and it’s still one of my favorite movies of all time.
@@awigp7938 Rei explains to Shinji his problem about how he scapes reality by having an idealized world to be safe and comfortable so he can no longer be hurt. Shinji says that there is no problem in having a dream of a better world were there is no suffering, but Rei tells him that this is not a dream, what he really does is making a convenient illusion for him to not face the real consequences of life. Then Shinji understands reality, he understands that in the real world suffering is important for people to grow and be better. Because if there is no suffering then you will never change. And this is why Evangelion it's so important to me and for a lot of people. Because like Shinji all of us have tried in one way or another to denied reality by not facing consequences or deal with our problems. In a certain way this has helped a lot of people and personally I think that this helped me too.
@@awigp7938 Shinji was about to choose the world with no one because he was afraid of getting hurt by others and might have been easier to live alone. But Rey told him that is not real happiness and we all find it out in the world with others such as family, friends etc. Shinji asked Rey “where is my reality?” and she answered “it comes after the end of your dream”. This helped Shinji make up his mind to live with others, not alone. In real, there is a lot of people who has been scared or suffered from uncomfortable relationships at school, at workplaces and so on. Some of them decide to give up to be with others because they believe they can never find out their happiness in it. But that is not always true. This movie wanted to show that “you can be happy interacting with people, so get outside and face the reality.”
When I first watched this on Netflix (it was in Japanese though), I was completely shocked at how the movie switches to real life. Normally most anime shows don’t usually do that. But what made it sear into your mind was that Anno made the supposed “mundane world” actually beautiful. He made it look ethereal, alien, unrecognizable and colorful because he tries to show us (the audience) that life still continues after the movie/show is over. It may seem like the end of the world, but it just feels like it does. After that, all that’s left is you and your life outside your door. Underneath this boring world we think we despise is a world of complications, emotions and beauty. And the crazy part is that it’s Life.
Something about seeing the Tokyo-3 Skyscrapers along with Asuka, Rei and Misato in a realistic environment is just so unsettling and uncanny. It just doesn't feel right. Its that feeling you get when you've been staring at a screen for hours, immersed in some digital world with all its bright colours and stimulation, and then finally look up again and take a look outside, and how it always feel so much more mundane and dull. But its not, its beautiful, natural and real, something that fake world on the screen could never be. In a way its kind of ironic, many people (despite the message of the show) wish they could escape to the world of Evangelion, hang out with their favourite characters and see all those iconic areas for themselves, but thats what we get here. We see the swings, the skyscrapers, all those icons from the show and we get to see how hollow they really are. To me, its like Anno is showing us that it is dangerous and often disappointing to make fantasy our reality. In the time between the show ending and the movie releasing it must have been exciting and nostalgic, like we're back home after being away for so long and we're finally going to get to hang out with these characters again. But it doesnt happen that way and we are forced to face reality. That world just isnt compatible with the mundane real world we live in, no matter how much some of us wish they were. Asuka, Rei and Misato are just ideas, dolls, fantasies. In fact, they are literally mannequins in this scene, fake, hollow and plastic, simply there to be projected on like a toy. Thats what makes them so out of place. They do not belong there. But the camera still focuses on them - because so many still cling to them while ignoring all the people in the crowd, the real people, with real emotions, real stories, and real dreams, who you actually could have connected with. At some point we have to move on, we cant force our fantasy into reality. Use the lessons and feelings that TV, books, movies, games, art in general (and in this modern era the internet) teach you and apply it to your life, enjoy them, share them, go on to make your own stories and worlds, but don't try and make it the focal point of your life, it wont work, because you will miss out. There is no replacement for living and embracing the real world. That may not have been the intentional meaning, but I think with Evangelion we are supposed to take something different away from it and goddamn it thats what i took from it - thanks for reading that
I love this scene. Its different from the rest of the movie, with real world stuff. This scene makes it feels like Evangelion is related to real world directly.
Whenever I feel like killing myself I pop in the end of evangelion and I learned something about myself and that life is worth living it’s worth to feel pain and love because that’s what makes life beautiful this scene pulls at my heart strings.
Shinji: “Hey……” Rei… “What is it?” Shinji: “What are dreams?” Rei: “Dreams? Yes. Dreams.” (“Does it feel good?”) Shinji: “I don’t understand. I don’t understand what reality is.” Rei: “You can’t bridge the gap between your own truth and the reality of others.” Shinji: “I don’t know where to find happiness.” Rei: “So you only find happiness in your dreams.” Shinji: “Then this is not reality, this world where no one exists.” Rei: “No. It’s only a dream.” Shinji: “Then I don’t exist here either.” Rei: “This convenient fabrication is your attempt to escape reality.” Shinji: “Is that wrong?” Rei: “You were using fantasy to escape reality.” Shinji: “Why can’t I dream that I am alone?” Rei: “This is not a dream. That’s a substitute for reality.” Shinji: “So where is my dream?” Rei: “This is a continuation of reality.” Shinji: “But where is my reality?” Rei: “It is at the end of your dreams.”
I don’t think it’s Rei who asks “Dreams?” I think it’s asuka and maybe someone else. I would have guessed just asuka because at the end it looks like only her and Shinji decided to leave but the audio sounds like a few people ask at the same time
When Anno turns the camera towards the audience, what he wants to imply is that many of those lucky people who were able to see the End of Evangelion, back in 1997, were actually as "pathetic" as Shinji. It is as if he slapped them and said: Do you realize? How can you be better than Shinji if you yourself have come here running away from your own problems? That's because the original ending, contained the teaching that Anno wanted to teach to the youth, but many of them despised it.
I will partially reuse part of my answer from this comment section. I can certainly see how you came to this conclusion, but I do not think it was the only intention. To me, it seems that the intention is to blur the edge between a dream and reality. Please pay attention to the dialogue between Ray and Shinji in the background: they talk about the dream and reality. Now imagine yourself watching this movie in a theatre and seeing this scene with lots of people who are as if staring at you as if they are watching a movie in a theatre (well, they actually are). At one moment, it seems as if you are a hero in a movie that people watch on the cinema screen. That is a very powerful scene. I think that the intention indeed might be twofold because what you have written explains the moment when "Does it feel good?" is written on the screen. That is, "is the new ending any better?", "Are you guys satisfied?" I do agree with you that the original ending contains the takeaways from Anno for his audience. The realisation of this fact makes the rebuilds pretty much useless, as he just almost openly continued to milk his audience, at least the part of it who did not cut it through the original ending. Bravo!

This song makes me feel like being shone in a ray of salvational light, as if I get a second chance of redemption… Just like how Shinji decided to take another chance towards the world instead of turning into LCL… I don’t really enjoy classical music, but this song just makes me so emotional every time I hear it.
The original is so full of hope even during the desperate times it was written when you were lucky to be like 15, then now this version is the opposite we are in a time unprecedented prosperity globally and yet it feels like there’s no hope. The same song years apart about man reaching out to god and hoping he notices. If evangelion was just this scene it still would have been a masterpiece!
I absolutely loved this scene when I was watching the evangelion for the first time. This scene was such a release especially after witnessing all that happened during the show
No better choice for this scene... Bach as the ultimate reality check... every musician no matter their style 'remembers' when they hear Bach. It is a return to the divine, but also a reminder of what is human. Anno knows it well... there's a reason Bach is the choice for this scene... what is the 'Joy of Man's Desiring' if not the final, peaceful acceptance of the truth, the world around us? This world cannot be transcended until it is embraced and surrendered to.
02:32 I'm sure some people have already mentioned it in the comments but shout out to homeboy who had the balls to go out in public with plushies of Asuka and Rei. Definition of IDGAF 😎
the rebuilts is a redemption for Anno, who was actually in depression during the End, and we see with Shinji, how he evolves too with his father respecting him and Shinji finally living his life . The rebuilts are necessary , and i think , Anno knew it too
It feels like Anno is really mad at us as viewers. That's why I couldn't get the message the first time I watched it. Eva 3.0+1.0 is Anno who tries to teach the same lesson, but gently and not as angry as this movie
y pensar que posiblemente todas las personas de este video ya no estan entre nosotros, pensar que tambien tuvieron una vida, problemas, personas a las que quisieron , gustos, tuvieron una vida propia, y ves que tu padre ya fallecio y no quieres que tu madre tambien lo haga es triste que todos iremos asia aya y no quedara nada de nosotros , disfrutemos mientras transcuramos este camino corto que es la vida
I rewatched this scene and it finally hit me, I too escape reality whenever I have problems. I would do so in the form of a crossover AU I created. My daydreams are starting to get worse, so I tried to find out how to fix it. But it's so addicting. I can't stop it. After rewatching this scene, I'll face reality with the guidance of the Lord! I'll just come back to that AU after the game involved in this au is finished (hint: It's a Toby Fox game). Maybe when it's finished, I can balance reality and that fictional world. "Ang problema ay hindi tinatakbuhan." I would like to thank my teacher for quoting this during first period, because her words are the reason on why I wanted to rewatch this scene in the first place. Thank you Teacher Sarah!! I may need to drop my current interests because of this, or remind myself about this promise I created. Sorry for commenting this much, teenage angst in a Wednesday hit me so hard that I start to realize my bad coping mechanism.
When you consider the shit they put him through yeah Anno was right to make a massive fuck you to otaku (not technically weebs since that applies outside Japan)
This goes to show how much of a real-deal artist Hideaki Anno is. He told his ENTIRE fanbase to fuck off with this, this scene of their weeb stupidity being thrown right back in their face, within one of, if not THE most angry, violent, and painful animated movie in history. He told his entire audience "You're the real trash, not me," and they gave him a standing ovation in theaters for it. The absolute legend.
Eva was always quite the introspective piece, with all those monologues, characters looking deep within themselves in dreamy-like sequences, like in this very scene. Anno didn't separate himself from it, he couldn't, as he WAS it, after all. That anger and passion that you are speaking of, could only be the fruit of his own frustration; directed at himself, his mental state and his way of living (and his audience, of which he was part of, of course). This was his goodbye to all of that, and what a way to end it! Before he milked his audience and the series for another good 25 years, that is.
I can certainly see how you came to this conclusion, but I do not think it was the intention. To me, it seems that the intention is to blur the edge between a dream and reality. Please pay attention to the dialogue between Ray and Shinji in the background: they talk about the dream and reality. Now imagine yourself watching this movie in a theatre and seeing this scene with lots of people who are as if staring at you as if they are watching a movie in a theatre (well, they actually are). At one moment, it seems as if you are a hero in a movie that people watch on the cinema screen. That is a very powerful scene. So, brighten up! You are a hero of a story which you help to move forward ;) UPD: Although, the intention indeed might be twofold. What you have written explains the moment when "Does it feel good?" is written on the screen. That is, "is the new ending any better?", "Are you guys satisfied?"
I don’t think the message here is necessarily “Fuck off.” Clearly it’s as meaningful to be inside the “dream” for him as it is for the audience, and he’s sort of analogizing the experience of being in a movie theater, experiencing the same story, to its own kind of Instrumentality - a joining of minds and souls, a shared dream, a connectedness that we’re privileged to feel. Anno’s a filmmaker, and an incredibly (some might say insanely) hardworking and dedicated one; how could what he’s saying about cinema here be anything less than sincere? But movies and dreams end. The theater empties and we return to our homes and lives; and what then? What do we live for? How do we feel connection to others? That’s what Anno is asking both himself and the audience, I think, and it’s a question he feels we can’t afford not to grapple with. He doesn’t hate Evangelion, his fans, or movies; he just wants to acknowledge within his own work that they’re no substitute for LIVING.
He got a few death threats from them over the original ending (not to mention the amount of porn made of his 14yo characters), so it's safe to say he hates them. I do too a bit

Please pay attention to the dialogue between Ray and Shinji in the background: they talk about the dream and reality. Now imagine yourself watching this movie in a theatre and seeing this scene with lots of people who are as if staring at you as if they are watching a movie in a theatre (well, they actually are). At one moment, it seems as if you are a hero in a movie that people watch on the cinema screen. That is a very powerful scene.
I think that the intention indeed might be twofold because what you have written explains the moment when "Does it feel good?" is written on the screen. That is, "is the new ending any better?", "Are you guys satisfied?"
I do agree with you that the original ending contains the takeaways from Anno for his audience. The realisation of this fact makes the rebuilds pretty much useless, as he just almost openly continued to milk his audience, at least the part of it who did not cut it through the original ending. Bravo!

2nd best scene ive ever watched in any movie or show ever. anno is a genius and the end of evangelion is a masterpiece of cinema

This song makes me feel like being shone in a ray of salvational light, as if I get a second chance of redemption…
Just like how Shinji decided to take another chance towards the world instead of turning into LCL…
I don’t really enjoy classical music, but this song just makes me so emotional every time I hear it.
The original is so full of hope even during the desperate times it was written when you were lucky to be like 15, then now this version is the opposite we are in a time unprecedented prosperity globally and yet it feels like there’s no hope. The same song years apart about man reaching out to god and hoping he notices. If evangelion was just this scene it still would have been a masterpiece!
2:00 I don't know why, but when I saw this scene for the first time it freaked me out a lot.
im trying to go through the process of getting my mental health helped. and not to be cheesey but evangelion has helped me through that
I like this scene because shows how was japan in the 90s
当時何のネタバレもされていない状態で、映画館でこれを見ることができたのは本当に貴重な体験でした。
One of the best scenes in movie history

Happy 25th Anniversary The End of Evangelion (1997)
I miss my wife
Evangelion peaked here
I absolutely loved this scene when I was watching the evangelion for the first time. This scene was such a release especially after witnessing all that happened during the show
No better choice for this scene... Bach as the ultimate reality check... every musician no matter their style 'remembers' when they hear Bach. It is a return to the divine, but also a reminder of what is human. Anno knows it well... there's a reason Bach is the choice for this scene... what is the 'Joy of Man's Desiring' if not the final, peaceful acceptance of the truth, the world around us? This world cannot be transcended until it is embraced and surrendered to.
Me encanta esta escenea de evangelion e irónicamente no es animación

I'm sure some people have already mentioned it in the comments but shout out to homeboy who had the balls to go out in public with plushies of Asuka and Rei. Definition of IDGAF 😎
the best anime scene ever made
This is the ending Eva needed. The one it already had. Not the Rebuilds.
the rebuilts is a redemption for Anno, who was actually in depression during the End, and we see with Shinji, how he evolves too with his father respecting him and Shinji finally living his life . The rebuilts are necessary , and i think , Anno knew it too
During this scene, I just breathed. I remembered to breath, and it felt amazing.
This scene hits different after you see 3.0+1.0

This sequence broke me.
It feels like Anno is really mad at us as viewers. That's why I couldn't get the message the first time I watched it. Eva 3.0+1.0 is Anno who tries to teach the same lesson, but gently and not as angry as this movie
Well it was a long time ago but those messages at the end were death threats from "fans" so understandable if he was irritated at us
The time has come...

I remember going into EOE with hope for answers only to come out with even more questions and little too no answers.

I should really check out Evangelion
I rewatched this scene and it finally hit me, I too escape reality whenever I have problems.
I would do so in the form of a crossover AU I created.
My daydreams are starting to get worse, so I tried to find out how to fix it.
But it's so addicting. I can't stop it.
After rewatching this scene, I'll face reality with the guidance of the Lord!
I'll just come back to that AU after the game involved in this au is finished (hint: It's a Toby Fox game).
Maybe when it's finished, I can balance reality and that fictional world.

I would like to thank my teacher for quoting this during first period, because her words are the reason on why I wanted to rewatch this scene in the first place.
Thank you Teacher Sarah!!
I may need to drop my current interests because of this, or remind myself about this promise I created.
Sorry for commenting this much, teenage angst in a Wednesday hit me so hard that I start to realize my bad coping mechanism.

Ho'oh
After watch 3.0+1.0
This whole scene is Hideaki Anno saying
"Touch Some Grass lmao"
i watched this on a weird anime streaming site so i wasnt sure if i was being trolled or not when this scene came on
When you consider the shit they put him through yeah Anno was right to make a massive fuck you to otaku (not technically weebs since that applies outside Japan)
Premios oscar a mejor pelicula
Premios oscar a mejor banda sonora
Premios oscar a mejot dirreccion artistica
This goes to show how much of a real-deal artist Hideaki Anno is. He told his ENTIRE fanbase to fuck off with this, this scene of their weeb stupidity being thrown right back in their face, within one of, if not THE most angry, violent, and painful animated movie in history. He told his entire audience "You're the real trash, not me," and they gave him a standing ovation in theaters for it.
The absolute legend.
Eva was always quite the introspective piece, with all those monologues, characters looking deep within themselves in dreamy-like sequences, like in this very scene. Anno didn't separate himself from it, he couldn't, as he WAS it, after all. That anger and passion that you are speaking of, could only be the fruit of his own frustration; directed at himself, his mental state and his way of living (and his audience, of which he was part of, of course). This was his goodbye to all of that, and what a way to end it! Before he milked his audience and the series for another good 25 years, that is.
I can certainly see how you came to this conclusion, but I do not think it was the intention. To me, it seems that the intention is to blur the edge between a dream and reality.
Please pay attention to the dialogue between Ray and Shinji in the background: they talk about the dream and reality. Now imagine yourself watching this movie in a theatre and seeing this scene with lots of people who are as if staring at you as if they are watching a movie in a theatre (well, they actually are). At one moment, it seems as if you are a hero in a movie that people watch on the cinema screen. That is a very powerful scene.
So, brighten up! You are a hero of a story which you help to move forward ;)
UPD:
Although, the intention indeed might be twofold. What you have written explains the moment when "Does it feel good?" is written on the screen. That is, "is the new ending any better?", "Are you guys satisfied?"
I don’t think the message here is necessarily “Fuck off.” Clearly it’s as meaningful to be inside the “dream” for him as it is for the audience, and he’s sort of analogizing the experience of being in a movie theater, experiencing the same story, to its own kind of Instrumentality - a joining of minds and souls, a shared dream, a connectedness that we’re privileged to feel. Anno’s a filmmaker, and an incredibly (some might say insanely) hardworking and dedicated one; how could what he’s saying about cinema here be anything less than sincere? But movies and dreams end. The theater empties and we return to our homes and lives; and what then? What do we live for? How do we feel connection to others? That’s what Anno is asking both himself and the audience, I think, and it’s a question he feels we can’t afford not to grapple with. He doesn’t hate Evangelion, his fans, or movies; he just wants to acknowledge within his own work that they’re no substitute for LIVING.

Is it true that Anno hates Evangalion fans or is that just a myth?
He got a few death threats from them over the original ending (not to mention the amount of porn made of his 14yo characters), so it's safe to say he hates them. I do too a bit
