A film made by Little Japan that is more Western than any Western civilization

The fascinatingness of the mechanical civilization and the vision of the pirate spirit shown in the film are enough to shock any audience from Western or non-Western civilizations. The four famous works summed up the classic civilization is nothing but the same. But I feel more that this film is a huge satire of Western colonial civilization. In reality, the guardians of the old civilization did not have all kinds of magic magic, and the ultimate destruction spell to protect the last line of defense did not exist, so in reality there would only be all kinds of Yuanmingyuan and all kinds of Aztecs.
