      Because that's all, it's not enough.

      Would you believe that I am willing to accept the eternal life of fate, that I am willing to be in the vanity of youth, that I am willing to exist slightly and breathe vaguely outside of time. Then, in the Godfather's reincarnation game, passing by you. If this long and despair is necessary, then all cruelty and boredom, I am willing. I want to meet the godfather in the same sky as you, and hit the wheel of time happily and sadly. "Do you want me to kill you? Or this time, let you kill me?"...

      Aerial Killer - Continuation of Oshii Mamoru's Mechanical Philosophy

      Only this time he conveyed his interest in the relationship between man and machine to another level - society is a machine, and man is a component of the machine.
      In the film, the main character dies. The name of the teacher in the play is very interesting. If he wants to fight with the teacher, he will definitely not win. His every move is taught by the teacher. The teacher is the mold worker in this society, while the protagonist and other teenagers are the puppets that came out of the...

      Do you need to grow up if you can die tomorrow?

      The 2008 movie, I downloaded it and watched it again after a long time. I rarely watch a movie repeatedly. Unless there are a lot of things about him that I find interesting to repeat. This time, I think he is really a good movie. After two years, I realized a lot of plots that I didn't understand before.
      The exploration of the theme of aging, love, life, and desire is expressed in an overhead world view. The lines, atmosphere, tone, demeanor, and actions can be described as perfect. The...

      A whole month apart?
      Leave the previous log.



      After such a long winter vacation,
      I gradually became very panicked.

      Um?

      Finished reading 2 of the 7 books in the plan.
      Bought 7 new books besides textbooks.
      Watched 17 of the planned million movies.
      Saved the Japanese BO that was about to be abandoned.
      I met 33 relatives and friends who were looking forward to reunion.
      Spent a beautiful Xmas+New Year.

      and....

      like a dream bubble

      "Air Killer" probably didn't realize the inner level, and there was no "Conquer". The film review of Conquer was written in real-time connection with the film at that time. And "Air Killer" was hit by a certain point in the film review and a shot of a folding newspaper in the film. Everyone is a container. The memories of life after life are very confusing. Killing is routine, without any obvious signs. Everyone's heart is dissatisfied and entangled in empty space. Everyone's life is an...

    Movie plot

    This is a peaceful world without war. However, in order to truly experience the feeling of peace, mankind invented a performance war for viewing. There are still cruel casualties in the rain of guns and bullets in this fake show. The special fighter "Kildorei" fought in the sky with fighter jets. Their bodies stay in the state of adolescence, immortal, and their hearts that have not stopped growing are more exhausted than ordinary...

    Behind the scenes gags

    もりひろし is a fan of Oshii Mamoru, he especially likes "Welcome to Virtual Paradise". In fact, the influence of Oshii can also be seen from the heroine's name. Kusanagi Suizo and the heroine's name in "Ghost in the Shell"-Kusanagi Motoko-are only one and a half characters away.
    Screenwriter Ito Chihiro and Oshii Mamoru's only daughter are exactly the same age. This is the first time Ito has collaborated with a director other than...

    The background ofスカイ・クロラ

    The film is based on もりひろし’s series of novels of the same name. "Sukai·Kurora" is his masterpiece. It contains multiple elements such as suspense, science fiction, youth and love, and is deeply loved by fans. Oshii Mamoru was recommended by an acquaintance and suggested that he put it on the screen before he carefully read "Sukai·Kurora". Oshii likes this novel very much, but his instinct tells him that this kind of first-person...

    Adaptation of the story

    The screenwriter of the film is Chihiro Ito, born in 1982. After watching "Spring Snow", Oshii Mamoru admired Ito's talent very much, and decided to invite her to join the love-centric "Sukai Kurora". Ito was surprised after receiving the invitation, but the animator's peaceful demeanor relieved her anxiety, and Oshii asked her to let her go to write. After fully studying the original work, Ito decided to make Suizo’s work on love the...

    Evaluation action

    "Sukai Crowra" is an out-and-out animation that transcends reality. It is also an animated film with clones as the main character. If the coat of science fiction is peeled off, the story content of this animated film reflects precisely a cycle of life and death-such a profound religious concept. Intense aerial combat, exquisite fighters, and melancholic dialogue, but the propositions considered throughout the film are the value of...
