'GEEN vs RED' is based on the colour of Lupin's jacket which is different depend on each titles. Sometimes he wears red one, and other times he wears green one. Every series has different elements, not only jackets. For instance, his philosophy, rules and even face. Then a lot of people who introduced themselves as Lupin the 3rd gathered from all over the world. Then, this movie asked you which character is true him after all. I really liked this theme! So,to be honest, it was not enough to be satisfied! I want Mamoru Oshii make it again! Originally, it was based on his idea though!
If the identification needs the other's recognition, it means that his essence depends on the others. Is the person Lupin truly if the environment like Jigen and Fujiko recognize that he is, isn't he?
Do you know this impressive comic from Junji Ito? People found a lot of holes which has shapes of the human on the wall of a mountain. It seemed to go on and on. People found the same shape of themselves and went into there though. After all, their remains were found. You cannot see them the shapes of human being because of the terrible distortion.
It means the shape of holes goes twisting as going on. But their bodies were distorted for the shapes of holes without noticing while going on and on. If you try to be suit for some template, you may become like them.
In my opinion, originally it doen't look enjoyable that I won't update myself forever! If you tried something what you're not likey to do at first, it will be stuit to you later. Of course, I'm glad that someone told me 'it's suit to you!' and 'I know you like it!' But I'm more happy to hear that he's surprised with one of my new personality!
Originally, there's no 'regular' Lupin the 3rd.
