In the animation of the last century in Japan, there is a pure water red, which is close to fluorescent red. Love this red. It's even more charming when it's joined together. It is not a bright color like fluorescent red, but a little darker and thicker, but it does not affect its purity. Jin Tian, ​​who is driving a motorcycle in "Akira", has this red on his body and the outer paint of the motorcycle. The scene where Akira's body tissue is revealed to the world is shocking... The human body tissue is divided into countless fragments and soaked in liquid, just like this sci-fi ruin. Machinery and steel are finally classified as blood vessels and internal organs. The ruins of industry are actually the ruins of the human body, huge blood vessels and tissue fragments, in which we are clearly defined but infinitely silently integrated.

Tetsuon's new mechanical arm, electronic components and wires penetrate the marble seat like blood vessels, the pink flesh and machinery transform and grow, and finally the flesh and blood devour everything, the boundary between cold inorganic matter and warm organic matter (organ) Become blurred, and eventually return to unity, pushing this beauty to the extreme. The mysterious, beautiful Akira, human memory, transcends dreamlike reality. Tokyo has become a giant altar. The ending is too space-walking. The eyes of "God" are from top to bottom, from the sky, from everywhere, watching consciousness and perceiving awakening.

    The pace is slow, and the first half is long. There are too many people, and you can't grasp the whole. In the second plot, the protagonist is still omnipotent. The characters are ugly, even lower than the real ones. Real-life sci-fi can do better things now, disappointed.

    There are some loopholes in the setting of the world view, and it is difficult to justify it. The visual effects are amazing and have inspired many works. The scene where Tie Xiong's energy is out of control is the most shocking. In addition to the dystopian background (obviously borrowed from [Blade Runner]) and nuclear fear, he also creatively associates the apocalyptic picture with adolescent rebellious teenagers, highlighting concerns about loss of control and destruction. (8.0/10)
