      Trash made by 24E

      Say it's a commercial movie, sorry, I don't feel like watching a Hollywood blockbuster at all, Independence Day 2 at least won't make me doze off watching it.

      Saying it's a literary or art film, sorry, I really can't see anything meaningful, is the director still a child? Those so-called philosophical connotations are really idiots, and I won't go into details about the feeling of treating the audience as idiots.

      The lack of connotation is actually a common problem in...

      Absolutely the best work ever.

      What a masterpiece! The painting is very bunker very beautiful, every detail is so good! The setting is very creative, standing on top of ordinary science, but it doesn't seem too imaginative! The plot is relatively general, and the characters and descriptions are relatively small. The plot is not full enough. But where to put the theater time, to get so many and such great scenes and the plot can only be weighed. Anyway, just watching the painting and the scene is completely worth the price of...

      The multifaceted age of steam

      Seeing that the comment area was not applauded, I actually felt that there were a lot of things that touched me.
      The first is the plot. Maybe the name Steamboy is not good enough. The whole film is not the fate of Steamboy alone, but the interweaving of three generations. But I didn't think of a better name either.

      Then there's the character building. Steamboy's psychological process can be said to be confused under the influence of his grandfather's and his father's different...

      Four stars are given to the picture

      After watching it, I have been amazed at why there is such a movie. It took so much production cost (time, money, painter) to use countless beautiful and amazing pictures to present a line that is empty and weak, the plot has almost no development potential, and the characters In a movie like this (a girl who has no meaning other than being funny), the director has almost no ability to create characters, but on the contrary, the rhythm of the movie is good, and there are very few urine...

      Steampunk work. The rhythm collapsed too much, and the climax reached a climax with a little foreplay. The configuration of the three paranoiacs was good, but there was an annoying vase heroine, but after all, the picture is a big production, and the scene is extremely well done. Beautiful and reflective: the age of science has...

      The soundtrack is atmospheric, the painting style is shocking, and the plot is a little weak. It is still Otomo-style dystopia and anti-tech, plus the romance (playground) that matches the disaster scene. Reflection on development is a favorite type of late. Gossip about the creation of this film for 9 years, costing 2.4 billion yen (equivalent to RMB 180 million) Address:...

    Background creation

    As early as 1994, before the release of director Otomo Katsuhiro’s "MEMORIES", the entire concept of "Steamboy" had already taken shape, including a detailed production plan. However, due to the high cost of CG production at that time, As a result, no investors were willing to take this risk. It was not until 2000 that Bandai made up its mind not to use overseas resources, but to use local power to do its best. The original team of...

    Evaluation action

    The film is meticulous and gorgeous. The scenery and buildings of the British cities in the 19th century are depicted beautifully, and the presentation of various mechanical equipment is also meticulous, bringing a splendid and dizzying visual impact to the audience. The theme of the film is to discuss the problem of the double-edged sword of science. The power of science and technology can benefit mankind, but it can also be used to...
