2025.01.25 04:29 Outrageous-Peak1052 Victims of war, an Angel’s egg interpretation.
Hey I’m back and happy to present something else I worked hard on! This is another interpretation of Angel’s egg, a brief one before I release my theory on The Boy that should come out soon. I just need to get my ducks in a row and polish some things up. This would make more sense if you check out my first Angel’s Egg post for context and they kinda go hand in hand(check my profile or go to the angels egg subreddit). This idea for this interpretation came from a discussion from a fellow Angel’s egg enthusiast. Hope you guys enjoy this post and Happy New Year!
First Angel’s egg analysis post on my profile titled “An interesting analysis of Angel’s egg” or visit the Angel’s egg subreddit
Victim’s of war interpretation
Many Japanese works have elements/euphemisms to war because of the effects war had on Japan. (Grave of the fireflies, Howl’s moving castle, Godzilla to name a few).
The setting of Angel’s Egg is a watery apocalypse. All throughout the movie we get shots of a gloomy, empty town, left as if frozen in time. This kind of reminds me of towns evacuated because of an oncoming war. The setting combined with the boy being a soldier with a parade of tanks coming into the ghost town is a perfect setup for this interpretation. The beginning of an invasion from a rival group.
The fishermen represent soldiers who are powerless in the grand scheme of things(following what their country says they need to do, becoming only a cog and loss of identity in unity, the soldiers never act alone only when they are together do they engage in battle), only being used as tools to get rid of their gods enemy, the fish. God represents the government or any higher up that wants to take more power for themselves thus making the men become just tools in their view and why the men are faceless. The fish is a false deity and if the god machine represents the Christian god they are not happy the inhabitants worshiped another. The fish could represent nature since they are more naturalistic then the machine gods eye, hence men trying to tame nature through violent means or just by warfare in general to gain wealth, lands women ect. It could also represent the effects of propaganda since the fish are not even there just shadows not all what they seem and have not caused any harm. Only when the soldiers start to try to harpoon the fish do they do actual harm to the city. Even the clothes scream soldier more than fishermen. They also fight like organized soldiers with their harpoons and formations reminiscent of battle. In the end when everything floods represents the destruction of war and how nobody really wins.
This section will focus on the mostly male roles and expectations in war and female vulnerability in war
TW: discussion of rape Spoilers for Angel’s egg
Male expectations
The two main characters could also represent the victims of war. The boy is a very young soldier, l'd say about 18-19 years of age since he is still considered a boy but looks like a grown man. The whole movie he gives off this unsettling vibe, especially his eyes which in my opinion have that classic soldier with ptsd look meme. Poor kid looks like he's seen some shit hence ptsd look we have no idea what he has seen before girl meets him. In war soldiers have certain actions/roles they feel they must preform to enforce or earn their masculinity. These actions include suppression of emotions and participation in brutality to act out any emotional turmoil. They must shut down their emotions to survive during war and to keep perpetuating violence against enemies as stated by Gillian Leeds in her article “War (or Lack Thereof) on Gender” (All paragraphs in quotations are by Gillian Leeds I recommend her full article it’s really good!)
“Like war, a social construct such as gender benefits no one. Those born male in the United States are pressured to embody stereotypical American masculinity, an ideal that consists of the suppression of an emotional self in addition to rampant participation in brutality. As both Winter Soldier conferences confirm, war’s environment demands an individual to cloister their emotions both in order to survive and to continue perpetrating severe violence.”
And…
“War has forced men to act out the extremes of their gender roles; the severity of the situation has forced them shut out any perceived feminine emotions like sensitivity, compassion, or gentleness. For men, adhering to gender structures during war becomes a crucial survival mechanism. Rather than accept and emotionally process the horrors of war, the soldier reverts to the lessons he has gleaned from masculinity (suppress real emotion, continue rampage) in order to survive.”
by Gillian Leeds in her article “War (or Lack Thereof) on Gender”
The boy shows only emotional suppression, however, there is no way to prove that he has not enacted violence before. His willingness to do anything to get rid of the bird of death/please the god machine by invading to me shows that if there were bigger threats to his mission than the girl I think he definitely would have used the gun. Speaking of guns just having one is an unspoken threat. You never know if they would use it and can only hope they are in the right mind to use it when actually needed. He shows his brutality by smashing the girls egg, taking away her only source of living and killing her.
“From a young age, people born male are bombarded with the idea that violence, insensitivity, and domination over females characterize their gender. War, then, is advertised toward men with the promise that participating will fulfil the social expectation already set for them.”
He also shows his dominance over femininity in multiple ways. He takes her egg and only gives it back after the girl panics, under his terms. Another way is his insistence in following her wherever she goes making her frightened and even smiling in a scene when she flees from him.
“Any buyer who participates in the system of prostitution undeniably maintains subordination of females. Siddiqui seems far more critical of the implications and consequences of his own gender than do those veterans in the first Winter Soldier. He correctly identifies the immense social pressure young male soldiers feel in upholding the facade of their masculinity, which as he also identifies, depends on taking advantage of and sexually abusing women. Though we do see the same dynamic in daily life (that of men needing to prove their manhood through sexual conquest), in war it is taken to the extremes of sexual abuse.”
by Gillian Leeds in her article “War (or Lack Thereof) on Gender”
The final action to prove masculinity during war is to commit acts of violence and sexual abuse towards women. This is the only act the boy has presumably not committed. This is the only one he struggles with morally (and rightfully so). As I have said in the previous post the breaking of the egg is a symbolic rape of the girl. the egg represents the breaking of the hymen by a phallic like weapon (representing losing her virginity/innocence as well)and her becoming a women and giving birth to more eggs after the breaking of her protected egg-hymen. She protects the egg by keeping inside her, given advice from the boy to keep it with her, had an underlying tone of a threat. He struggles to do this because he knows it’s wrong but to prove himself he feels he must do it. The longest and most quiet scene in the movie is him sitting in guilty silence preparing himself to smash her egg. The boy clearly took some time before smashing the egg, basically gathering the courage to do it because that was what a soldier is normalized/socialized to do by other more cruel soldiers, boy (as I said very young looking so 18-20, he is following by example of others) but he knew deep down it was wrong. In spite of him not wanting to hurt the girl he still does it to prove himself and at the end of the day men still benefit from such actions and don’t want to give up their power.
“He says, You’re not a man until you’ve taken advantage of a woman. You’re not a man until you’ve sexually abused someone at some point. Impressionable 18- and 19-year-old young men come into the service, and see everyone doing it, so they themselves have to do it too because they want to fit in. “
by Gillian Leeds in her article “War (or Lack Thereof) on Gender”
Female expectations
“On the other hand, femininity as a social construct implies complacency, chastity, and subservience to males.”
by Gillian Leeds in her article “War (or Lack Thereof) on Gender”
The girl is also a victim of war, alone and vulnerable she represents women of war, specially "comfort women" (or any women captured by soldiers in war). She represents the stereotype of feminity, A mother, emotional, soft spoken, innocent and “submissive”. The girl is seemingly either abandoned or her family has perished during the war, leaving her vulnerable. She is young and naive, but cautious. She is quite brave at times, walking up to the tanks, yelling at the boy to stop following her and chasing after him when he broke her egg. The girl is just that, a girl. Women do not need to prove their feminity in the way that men need to prove their masculinity. To become a woman is biological and given to you by birth and socialization. (Assuming we are talking about cis women only). There are cases where women are disliked by men for seeming “too masculine” because they do not appeal to them sexually or socially. The girl thus has not as much pressure to conform so strictly to her feminity since she fits the basic description and is a “mother” (putting her egg under her dress, making her look pregnant.) Poor Village women and girls only choices during war is to move away or hide. As the war goes on women’s only choice of income is prostitution. Prostitution and violence happens anyway whether consensual or not is unavoidable. (I am also not saying a women’s choice in war is only prostitution, there are many badass women in war that have fought on the battlefield and poisoned their enemies.) This ties in with the struggle of nature vs. machines, The girl is associated with natural things, fish, eggs, water, birds and forest. The boy is associated with tanks that are phallic looking (the representation of men and how they use weapons and weaponize sexuality itself, to harm, kill and humiliate) machines and the mechanical gods eye. The development of trust is somewhat manipulative on the boys part, taking her egg and giving it to her when he wants. There is an underlying of enjoyment and protectiveness for the girl, he hides her from the fisherman (who are actually soldiers we discussed above) scaring her and destroying the town. He wanted to protect her innocence but he had to follow what the expectations were from his superior (gods eye) or gender expectations. The girl had trusted the boy enough to sleep unguarded and vulnerable next to him and due to his need to prove himself he violates her.
“Prostitution, of course, represents an extension of one branch of femininity—that of a woman not as a person, but a body
“Rape, violence against women as encouraged by masculinity in war, became standardized to such an extent that Vietnamese came to expect it. Women especially become a target during war, as evidenced by the fact that the Vietnamese choose to hide their women rather than children or men”
by Gillian Leeds in her article “War (or Lack Thereof) on Gender”
That’s the end of this interpretation! Sorry if the girl’s section is kind of sparse/does not make too much sense, I struggled with it and I hope my general idea came across good, (this is only one of the ideas: women are forced into sexual slavery to make men feel better in presenting their masculinity. By extent men are also jealous of women since they do not have to try as hard to prove their feminity in their perspective) I hope you enjoyed this and I implore you to not take this too seriously, this is an interpretation and not canon, if you do not agree then that’s fine! I am just using this movie and topics to practice writing and analyze what this movie could possibly mean since apparently there is no meaning behind it according to the creator. Anyway, don’t be shy and comment what you think I love to talk with fellow Angel’s egg enthusiasts! Till’ next time, and be safe! ;)
An Angel’s egg theory
Hey everyone! I’m back with a theory if you remember me from my last post: “An interesting analysis of Angel’s egg” if you have not seen my first post I recommend reading it before reading this since I have an add on in this post to the last one which will be under the theory! As always please don’t be shy to tell me what you all think I love discussions!

2025.01.25 04:29 Hour_Ad6908 Do I ask her to be my GF
I met this girl a month ago that I’ve started going on dates with. We live about 90 minutes apart and drive in the middle to meet each other. We oftentimes FaceTime multiple times per week. She’s started teasing me and saying stuff like she can’t wait to meet my family when I bring them up. Does this sound like a good time to ask her?

 | A while ago I started working on writing a marching show for fun, and spent a lot of time writing drum line parts, which I had never really done before, but I had some experience looking at my high school’s show (I’m a trombone player FYI). I don’t know much about the things that are possible on other instruments, and all I really know is that what I write sounds cool. Can I possibly get some tips on my writing? This is supposed to be an arrangement of “Jupiter” from Holst’s “The Planets”. submitted by Justbrowsing486 to drumline [link] [comments] |
