Tima: I am who?
Rock: Really? So, what are you then? A human?
Rock: Well, If you are a human? Who's your Father?
Tima: My father is... Kenichi.

Title Card: "Every epoch dreams its successor." - Jules Michelet
Duke Red: [is wearing ancient Babylonian-style clothes and standing on a platform. The background behind him is in Sepia tone and clouds are moving about] At this moment we as a nation are about to touch the stars! I tremble at the honour of announcing the culmination of mankind's history of intellectual and scientific achievement. Yesterday our power spanned the Earth, today it can illuminate the heavens! May it stand forever! Our Ziggurat!
Tima: [Tima has just discovered that she is a robot, not a human] I am an artificial human. A machine created to conquer the world and destroy it.
Tima: [Tima is going to destroy the world] This is punishment for toying with robots.
Tima: The probability of mankind's survival will be 30% in one hour. Control of the Ziggurat is now being transferred to my operating system. All supplemental Earth weaponry will be activated from my network in 30 minutes. Attack targets are the world's major cities and 7,586 additional facilities. Destruction of the human race will begin through irradiation and use of multiple weapon systems. This will be complete in 17 hours, 27 minutes.

Ban Syunsaku : Hige-Oyaji: Did you hear that, Duke Red? The superhuman you created is saying it doesn't need us anymore.
Atlas: It's our emotions. They vibrate, and all we can do is move forward within that amplitude. But without affirming them, we can't survive.

Awesome name, awesome idea, awesome artistic conception, awesome pattern, too awesome. The rhythm and composition have a strong American style, and the texture of the picture is really very good. It is unique and outstanding. It is the first time I have seen sci-fi themes paired with jazz, but thinking about it, it fits the confusion and waste of the post-future era presented in the film. rustic. The last thirty minutes are dizzying, epic and magnificent, but unexpectedly freehand. It combines prosperity and dilapidation ingeniously, and perfectly integrates objectivity and classicism. The future and history are staged at the same time, which is a double shock of perception and thought. A work that is ahead of its time, and it was a long time before our world developed to a high level. Maybe this height is to really understand the meaning of that question in the movie.
