Oshii Mamoru and Otomo Keyo have entered a strange circle since the end of the last world - the expression is becoming more and more skilled, the production is becoming more and more bright, but the story is becoming more and more dull. Fortunately, Oshii is at least back. After reading the first half, I still feel that it is a continuation of the obvious realism of , but the second half is clear-it turns out to be Truman's blade runner. At the beginning of the story, the logic was a little unclear. I felt that Oshii wanted to keep the suspense until the end. I think it would be better if he started to express the purpose of the pilot's battle.

Fortunately, Oshii didn't act like Innocence throughout, which prevented him from becoming another dirty driver. Returning to the cyberpunk plot that made him world-famous in the first place, the story seems sad and powerful. Even if there are very exciting aerial combat scenes, this film still cannot be viewed from the perspective of entertainment (from Macross Plus to Zero to GD Seed, the aerial combat animation production is really getting better and better), because Oshii obviously slows down the narrative rhythm, and it is facing me Appetite, everyone's movements have a sense of stagnation, as if there is a lack of existence.

Thought is still fate, reincarnation, bloodthirsty factor, unbreakable system, sacrifice of playthings, these things he said for more than 20 years. Oshii has always had this top-down view, a humanitarian concern for life (in whatever form).

The final picture is the finishing touch, with large clouds and blue sky (there are many flowing clouds in the film, reminding me of , the same is calm beauty and cruelty), the ground plane only shows a small A part of it, the man-made man, the man born from the man-made man, and the dog, three different species have left one after another, and the sorrow and the serenity are mixed together, and the wind blows without knowing whether it is cold or warm.

The reason for deducting one star is that there are too many pictures of smoking. In fact, this has always been a common problem in Japanese animation. If you want to pretend to be cool, you will smoke. Entertainment such as , free and easy such as, as sentimental, Anyway, if you want to pursue the cool feeling, you should smoke violently, one by one, and we will be exhausted by smoking. The children who are not grown up here, even if they are helpless and sad, they should not smoke all the time. It is too pretentious. .

PS.. Kusanagi's eyelashes are a bit scary, and the prostitute's tattoo is worth pondering.

    The imagery is beautiful to the limit. The lead-ash is like a blurred world of morning fog, carrying all the memories and the lonely eternal son on her back, the night tunnel of curfew with all sounds of silence, she raises her gun at your throat, her pupils are like a sea of ​​ambiguous eyes. Do you want to escape, she said, this time it's your turn to kill me. They kill each other and hug each other. It is because of countless journeys that the scenery is ever-changing; is this not enough? Or is that the reason why you are not satisfied?

    The mission screen is very general, a little rough, but the flight screen is not bad.
