1 "Akira Akira"

Due to the epidemic, many movies were not released this year, and very few people watched the movies. Such old films from the past have been re-released, and many of them are good-looking. I accidentally found a Japanese sci-fi masterpiece - "Akira" that is being released in the past few days, and I strongly recommend it to everyone.

This is an animated film released by Japanese animator and director Katsuhiro Otomo in 1988, adapted from his own animation work. The film tells the story of the outbreak of the Third World War in 1988 and the explosion in Tokyo. New Tokyo after reconstruction in 2019, despite the high-rise buildings, but economic depression, social unrest, "cults", money, political manipulation, the world is in chaos (does it feel familiar, yes, it is the state of the world today). Jin Tian, ​​a high school student, led his "Bakugoo" motorcycle party to often confront another group of social motorcycle parties. The secret project - Akira, a mysterious force powerful enough to destroy the world again.

It's hard to imagine that this is an animated film from more than 30 years ago, and it still looks very shocking even today. The style of the movie is very textured, for example, the light trails left by the taillights of motorcycles traveling at high speed. Coupled with the film's wonderful soundtrack, especially the percussion, it's heart-warming.

A lot of realistic meanings can be mapped from the movie. From the Japanese point of view, it is clear that the Hiroshima nuclear bomb is an indelible shadow of the Japanese generation. In addition, the 1980s and 1990s were also in the period of Japan's economic bubble (the film was released in 1988), which is why you can see the background of the high-rise buildings in the film and the scenes of social unrest, forming a strong contrast. In this context, as a single individual Japanese, some people often have deformed performances. No matter how hard they try, no matter how hard they try, they still can't change anything. They seem to be caught in a strange circle. ", become "incomparably powerful" in that world, and the powerful can devour the whole world. This part can also reflect the "small" of the Japanese.

When you watch this film, you will find that this film is super forward-looking, or that the wheels of history can repeat the same mistakes, and sometimes they may be surprisingly similar. And the most magical scene is that the film heralds the 2019 Tokyo Olympics. In reality, if it weren't for the epidemic, the 2020 Tokyo Olympics should have been held as scheduled (of course, the movie didn't hold it as scheduled). This film was also used as a promotional film for Japan's bid for the Olympics that year. Movie predictions were accurate - location: Tokyo; time: 2019 vs 2020; result: didn't go ahead as planned. Of course there is no schadenfreude here. It is said that the Tokyo Olympics have begun to refund tickets, I do not know if it is true.

Seriously, this is a Japanese sci-fi anime that is definitely worth watching. And it is highly recommended that you go to the cinema to watch it. 4K remastered version shown in theaters this year, so much clearer. Of course, there is also good news. It is said that the reason why this film is broadcast this year is to pave the way for next year's live-action remake. It will be directed by my favorite New Zealand local director Taika Waititi. Who do you want to be the male lead, I have The two candidates are Keanu Reeves or Commander High. There's also good news (trail) that the original anime and film director Keyo Otomo will launch a new animated TV series based on the original manga.

    If the amoeba were given human power, the consequences would be disastrous. It will not build houses and bridges, it will only devour the surrounding food. If human beings are given the power of gods, it will also lead to the fall of Tokyo and trigger the Third World War. In the movie, Japan tried to control Akira, but was hit by a devastating blow. In addition to the movie, Japan built the world's largest nuclear power plant. As a result, the nuclear leak made Fukushima an instant ghost town. Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it, as does technology. Human beings never stop pursuing more advanced technology and stronger power, trying to conquer everything, but they are always backlashed. "Akila" can be nuclear energy, it can also be artificial intelligence, robots, networks, VR games...They can benefit mankind, but they can also kill mankind. If we unscrupulously pursue Akira's power, without considering potential hidden dangers, we will eventually be swallowed by Akira. PS: As early as 1988, "Akira" successfully predicted that the 2020 Olympics will be hosted by Tokyo, and also predicted that the Tokyo Olympics will not be held smoothly.

    8.9 points, anarchist genre movie. The director wants to talk too much, but the film's time is limited, so the central idea is not clear, and many characters pass by. It would be better if it was made into TⅤ. The main thing the film wants to express is the human fear of over-exploitation of scientific results and technology going out of control. Movies were cult enough in those days.
