The atmosphere is too heavy, but the issues discussed are not clear.
The plot is actually very simple. Like Ghost in the Shell, the superficial depression and heaviness occupy a very large part of the perception, but the issues discussed are not described in depth. …
It's more like a sea of moods that people with similar emotional resonance are immersed in, or bragging about it.
The story of Little Red Riding Hood is quite meaningful. Little Red Riding Hood, Big Bad Wolf, Grandma, including food, are all classic intentions:
Little Red Riding Hood represents the desire for pure beauty; here it can represent the people, and it can also represent the anti-government.
Grandma represents what is longing for and pursued; here it can represent the society that the people want, the desire for a better life, and it can also represent the ideas of anti-government personnel.
Food represents something that shows hope; such as the blueprint drawn by the government to the people, the beliefs that terrorists use to brainwash their members, and a little benefit from pyramid schemes to old members...

Only the big bad wolf, is the special plane team the big bad wolf? Or has the special plane team turned into a big bad wolf in the process? This is part of the film's construction, but it's also ambiguous, because he preys on terrorists and plots to wipe out his own organization...
Therefore, this film wears such a layer of science fiction to create such a post-war world in Japan, which is laudable in terms of world structure. In terms of exploring relevant profound issues, these discussions are just shells... What haunts the film are images. , the sensory world created by the emotions of sound, and the old and simple stories that live in it...
