The ending was too shocking. As the power of destroying the sky and destroying the earth slowly dissipated with the invasion of sunlight, the three people rode a motorcycle and galloped through the ruins. Everything had ended, but everything had just begun. The upside-down of the world is as indistinguishable as a Mobius ring. From the perspective of human civilization, the passing of life and the destruction of buildings can only be described by the derogatory term doomsday. The solid concrete has returned to the state it was tens of thousands of light years ago. All things are equal and return to a peaceful world, even if it is the demise of the planet, even if it is the dream of the universe.
The soundtrack interspersed with shouts silently surrendered to the majesty of the plot, but even better was the silence. After Akira's absolute power was awakened, when the entire New Tokyo slowly disintegrated, there was not only no soundtrack nor dubbing. This kind of silence is perfectly matched with the power of the absolute universe, making people look forward to this kind of tranquility. It is said that a black hole that absorbs everything will eventually collapse into a singularity, then if it explodes and becomes a white hole that radiates everything, humans can rely on only the name, and there are always different syllables pieced together to form A voice that has something to do with humanity, taking us back to a familiar civilization.
The film tells the story of the student bikers led by Kaneda living in New Tokyo after the outbreak of the Third World War. The society is turbulent. Although people spend 30 years rebuilding high-rise buildings, they cannot rebuild their inner beliefs. Suspicion of the government and the military has grown, and the unreasonable taxation policies of the corrupt former prime minister have swelled the unemployed, and many people have resorted to religion, violence, and destruction for comfort. Jintian's partner Tiexiong was injured in a drag racing with the street speeding party and was taken away by the scientific research institute controlled by the army. Who knew that Akira's power was stimulated in his body...
The first half of the movie didn't tell the audience what Akira was. This kind of suspense only gradually revealed the face of this cosmic force with the awakening of Tiexiong's inner power: this kind of power exists in every one of our lives. . Each creature awakens and masters different powers, so its evolutionary power and creativity are also different. Therefore, the world is full of all kinds of creatures, from single-celled to multicellular, from people who can build bridges and high-rise buildings, to amoeba that eats and spreads germs. Once this kind of power awakens in people who cannot control it, the consequences are unimaginable.
The three children in the film who have awakened some of Akira's power, it can be seen from the dialogue that they are not only the side effects of taking medicine, but they have really spent many years and become like this. "Children". When they were young, they were forced to undergo the transformation of the army, and the power in their bodies was awakened, but at the same time, they were also well brainwashed and educated, so they have been cooperating with the actions of the army to control their Akira power, and try their best to do their best within the scope of their abilities. maintain world order. The only thing that is out of control is the fully awakened Akira's power. As soon as he appears on the stage, he looks like an expressionless child, and what he represents is the empathy that everything in front of the universe is a dog. In the presence of this power, there is no destruction, death, injury, pain, nor friendship, hope, enthusiasm, or joy. He is not a god that can be worshipped by the clowns, he is the price and inhumane.
Tie Xiong's experience was bumpy. When he was a child, he was pushed around by his relatives until he was sent to the children's home, and then he was very cowardly. Jintian's fearlessness took him on a rampage, a friendship that was incomparably contradictory: grateful and jealous, close and hated. In Jintian, he saw what he did not have: courage, fearlessness, enthusiasm, sincerity, and he dared to be presumptuous only under this shelter. It can be said that Tetsuo is the opposite of Jintian: ruthless, narrow-minded, vindictive, and selfish. Even before Akira is about to eliminate him, he still likes to hide behind Jintian like a coward. Tie Xiong is actually the product of the collapse of the entire social order. He has gathered all the negative emotions and dark sides of people. The society is over, but it is also in his own hands.
For cartoons, the blood and gunfight scenes of the film are very popular. Whether it is blood or brutality, they are presented to the audience from a very real angle. The teddy bear is about to become a psychological shadow, and people will fall apart as the reinforced concrete dissipates. The whole movie is filled with the fear of the end, not willing to die, not willing that the entire human civilization is meaningless in front of the universe, not willing to mix up the concepts of higher and lower, and so on. In the red light and blue background of the apocalypse, the struggles of various factions are as ridiculous as banknotes scattered all over the place.
I remember when I watched "Super Body", I felt a kind of arrogance: human beings think that they can become gods by developing their brains to 100%. This conception itself is based on an extremely arrogant concept. Because I prefer to believe in the ending of stardust with endless doubts and confusion, rather than human beings able to decipher the secrets of the universe. So when Tetsuo couldn't control Akira's power in his body, he felt a little ridiculous when his form gradually changed into that of a human baby. But then I thought of the huge baby images floating in the universe in "A Space Odyssey 2001", and I felt the difference between them and the completely different settings of "Super Body": the baby image is actually the most humble human being, Go to the vast universe to prove the sign of the meaning of their existence.
It is said that the male protagonist Jintian is too cruel, and the whole world is destroyed. He can still race happily with his precious motorcycle and girl friends. This ending is very social.
