have a few questions

I actually saw it before. I have never understood why only the garbage collection robots on the third floor have such a kind of thinking that is close to human morality. In the end, it was they who found Tima's remains and handed them over to Jian Yi. Are they implying the simplicity of the low-level people? In addition, the style of the painting has a rust color unique to machinery, which feels a little gloomy, but the iron pieces in many scenes are colorful and very beautiful. What does this contrast represent? At the end of the self-destruction program, the song reminded me of the song "Sweet Death" in "Evangelion: Really Only For You" when the world was reset. Finally, let's mention Locke, he is just to defend his "father", he seems to be an ignorant and cruel child.

    When I was doing animation work at home in 2002, I watched this film while fighting against the leaking roof. I wonder what kind of evaluation Tezuka Osamu would give when he saw this film! ~

    Japan Animation Masters Exhibition * Mixc City LUXE. Opposite tune, 2.5 stars. Attempts to fuse steampunk and cyberpunk, or a fusion of film noir and juvenile comics, but it presents a feeling of a land-ocean border, like the immature 2.5D animation of the millennium. The foreign place is to undertake the urban setting of the concrete jungle of Lang and Scott, with jazz for the "underground" state, but the characters from the idea to the style of painting completely stay in the state of the juvenile comics, whether it is human-machine relationship or "" "Battle between bastards" and desperate pursuit are too old-fashioned to stand up to scrutiny (the protagonist can't be beaten to death), and the retro circle-in-circle-out transition doesn't really matter. The deeper logic is that the director has no intention of digging Robot's role in the Cyber ​​context. Virtualization, networking and evolution are still in the perspective of animals and myths (connecting wires is like a forest demon). Compared with the Ghost in the Shell, which is also on display, it can only be said to be outdated.
