When I was an elementary student my hero was Konan, a boy, the main character of Japanese animation by directed Miyajaky Hayaho. In the gloomy future world in despite of the boy is a just orphant , he dosesn't lose his positive attitudes and delightful character.
He also devotes his life for thelovely young girl, Nana who is chased a gruop of people to seek her grandfather and his astonishing discovery.
Still the young boy is a good hero whenever I remind the movie, his bright smile and powerful positive energy
make me smile and happy.

My favorite animation is Conan. But I'm not sure that Konan is also detective like Conan, isn't he?
ReplyDeleteI know the Konan, not the detective. Maybe the title of animation is 'Future Boy Conan', and the background is after Doomsday. I also loved Konan's characteristic and the animation's song.
ReplyDeleteKatie's explanation is exactly right. My chidren's favorate animation is the detective
DeleteConan. When I was a young girl I've never seen the detective and the Conan the Barbarian is not my type.
So many Conans.
ReplyDeleteI immediately thought of Conan the Barbarian, who was also in the comics at the grandmother's house. He didn't appeal to me that much, although he certainly had plenty of muscles and again lots of violence. Arnold the gubernator made a film version when he was doing the Terminator series of films, but I didn't like his as much as the 2011 film Conan the Barbarian, which has a much better plot, some intelligent dialogue (not a lot, but a little), and actors who can generally act at least a bit. It might not be art, but at least this version of Conan of good fun, and Conan is a hero who is more than just muscle and violence in the Beowulf tradition of Anglo-Saxon heroes.
I still prefer the ancient and classical Greek conceptions of heroes for all their human faults and frailties as shown by Achilles at Troy and the rest, but Jennifer's version of Konan sounds like a more heroic hero than the Conan versions that first came to mind.
About Terminator and Conan the Babarian, I have watched only Terminator when I was young and I think its plot quite reasonable and interesting. But for the Conan the Barbarian, when I saw its poster, I think this movie might be too violent for me, an animation lover. So, I cannot imagine that its plot can be more reasonable that the Terminator. If I have an opportunity, I tried to watch it. ^O^
DeleteTurning to Greek heroes, I like them too. But, sometimes I think that most of them feel, think and act in the same way of human too much. And I can't accept the act of god who decided to kill his son in the IMMORTAL. >< However, it gives me a lot of fun and beautiful scenes.
The Greek gods are certainly very human deities. I've always thought that that was something in their favour, and one reason the Greeks not the Jews and their descendant religions gave rise to science, philosophy, democracy and the other core ideals of Western civilisation.
DeleteBut I agree that the amount of filicide, patricide and other violence they indulge in, not to mention affairs, divorces, fights and the like, is perhaps not what modern people, under the Judeo-Christian-Islamic influence, have come to expect from their gods.
I also kind of like the idea of many more than that of one. Why have only one god when you can have a whole family of them?
