What is a great cartoon?

To be honest, it's hard for me to see any film that feels "perfect", let alone an animation. A few days ago, I was criticized because I wrote a film review of Wall E saying that it is not strong enough, saying that I need to dig a well and watch some cartoons. I felt speechless at the time. Hayao Miyazaki, Keyang Otomo, Mamoru Oshii, among the three major Japanese supervisors, many of the films of the latter two do not know how to say that they have no depth. Because cartoons have no realistic limitations, they have the potential to reflect deep and broad connotations, but many people place cartoons on children's films and entertainment first, ignoring the other side of it as a serious art for adults. sex.

I have to admit that before watching this film, I always thought "The Matrix" was an extremely great work. As an entertaining sci-fi film, it could even propose philosophical thinking about life and existence. Makes me quite obsessed. After today, I finally understand that this is the original old cannon~ There are

so many philosophical thoughts that this film attempts to express, which makes people feel a little caught off guard. What is the definition of life? In today's age when any organ can be replaced, what am I? In addition, we need to explore the diversity and uniqueness of ourselves as individuals, because the individuality of "I" is the evidence of the existence of "I". However, the person who emphasizes self-consciousness is bound to be limited for the self (I suddenly remembered Nietzsche's theory of the superman when it was saying this). Power and victory are both short-lived. Just as the puppet master said, if you copy the power 10,000 times, there will always be a day when it will be broken. Only death, rebirth, change, flowing without leaving a trace, can we say victory and strength can be maintained. Doesn't this seem to be saying that in order to have it, we must know how to give up and know how not to stick to existing achievements?

I like the inexplicable murmur of the Major on the boat: "Through the realm of nothingness, you and I will eventually look at each other". The scene where she floated up from the bottom of the water and interacted with the image made me sigh with deep emotion and profound artistic conception. Really, maybe one day I'll look at myself in the mirror like this, maybe I'll see someone with a familiar face but not me, maybe I'll eventually transcend all self-examination because they don't change anything. But I really hope that one day I can look at myself in the mirror, am I looking at her, or is she looking at me?

Finally, this film is not only close to perfection from the screenwriter, director, 95-year-old picture and technology, but also the soundtrack that I admire very much. It's extremely rare inside. It can be said that even if this is a vulgar sci-fi action movie, this soundtrack can almost completely raise it to a height of style.
