Rei's Book

Postby The Goose » Fri Feb 01, 2008 8:12 am

Split out of here since it comprised, like, half of the thread. -Reichu


Also, when Shinji is in the hospital and sees Rei next to him, shes reading her manuel. Theres something on the left side of the page. It looks like a stain.

Ah, yes! :) I remember seeing this from the old trailer caps- that book looked too detailed to be a notebook. She recites the operation schedule from memory right now, doesn't she?

IIRC, the diagram in that book looks like a Sephiroth.

In that link there is a screen grab of Rei with her book. Just scroll down.

Looking closer at the picture on my camrip, the stain (or whatever it is) seems to overlap some of the words in the book. So, maybe it isn't an image of Sephiroth. I mean, why would the publishers of that book have an image cover up the words?

Not everyone has signed up on those forums. Can you post a link to the image itself?

Sadly, I can not. I should have thought about that. Stupid me! Sorry!

Rei's book from the dodgy camrip, can't be bothered to correct the aspect ratio:

Looks like a cut-away diagram of a heart or some other organ from the far shot, but in the closer shot it just looks like a couple of decorative twirls. The two columns of text suggest it's one of the books of the Bible to me.

The quality is horrible, but in the upper image it looks vaguely like a sephiroth. The lower image has too much overlap.

Maybe someone can get a screen grab from the trailer? That might have better quality.

Yeah, it does show up in one of the trailers, but I don't have it on my HD anymore. I put it on YouTube, but that reduces the quality - http://youtube.com/watch?v=SxPRqM2Zn1w (00:18).

Fixed. I don't think it is. It looks like it's three-pronged in that shot, like a stylised bird spreading it's wings or the letter ש.

It does look like a blotch.

It's a blotch in the camrip version. Ornette might have a high-quality one of the trailer with him.

Old plays and books of poetry often have two columns, most famously the First Folio of Shakespeare and its reprints.

Got a shoot of the book from the new DVD trailer - it's a bit clearer.

From an angle, it looks like an owl face. More like something printed or drawn on the paper as a background than a blotch.

I'm also wrong about the image covering the words. The words are clearly printed across the image.

If you play around with the contrast and brightness while looking at it, it really does look like the face of an owl...

Gah, Mothman. Wrong thread, Zugz.

Makes me wonder...subliminal messaging (ZOMG this is Lilith!!!) or is it a hint at what she's reading? Something to do with Lilith or the Dead Sea Scrolls?
