In the 1860s, it was the age when the world's powers were upset. The whole of Europe and the colonies of Asia, Africa and Latin America were fired: France and Prussia were about to fight, Austria and Italy were in conflict, and the United States began to covet Spain just after the Civil War. , Britain was deeply involved in the Crimean War that engulfed the Eurasian continent, and at the same time stretched its hands to China in the distance, attempting to expand its interests in China through the Second Opium War...
And in such an era, the protagonists in the animation are pursuing...peace?
I don’t know if Japan has survived the atomic bomb, so there is a kind of resistance to advanced weapons that may come from sincerity or political correctness, but it is unlikely that any British person living in the mid-nineteenth century would have such boring pacifist ideas. The only ideas they can have at this time are:
① Efforts to invent more advanced and more efficient weapons through technological advancement. Because if I don't do it, my enemy will do it.
②Intensify efforts to squeeze the people in the colonies of Asia, Africa and Latin America, and seize other people’s colonies through war. Because if I don't do this, other powers will do it.
In the animation, Lei was also influenced by his grandfather and began to fantasize about the "real role" of technology, which is really ridiculous. In contrast, the British and American capitalists are very practical, and the protagonist and his grandfather are so unpleasant to look at.
The Virgin can destroy the country in any age.
The following is a complaint:
1. The overall design idea of animation has been confusing. Is this a fantasy style animation or a realistic style? When I watched the first half of the animation, I felt that it was the former, and then in the second half of the animation, the appearance of various exaggerated designs and the appearance of no practical weapons made me wonder.
2. When the O'Hara airborne train came up to grab the ball, he had been entangled for so long. Stephenson and the gang did not fire a shot. Are your guns a display?
3. Why go to the exhibition hall of the World Expo to steal the parts? It’s too late. The hardware store is closed. Can’t you come early tomorrow morning? If you really have the habit of stealing, you just need to find a factory to steal it. Everyone dare to enter the Crystal Palace.
4. Why did grandpa escape in the end, it is so difficult to lock or tie a person? He also gave him a gun...
5. I thought that the residents around the last section of Steam City should have escaped. It desperately destroyed the houses so that it would not cause casualties. As a result, how many children poked their heads out to see? ? ?
6. You want to show the power of Steam City. How come it doesn't even have a cannon and its only ability is to walk? ? ? To cut the iron chain, the pilots have to manually cut it. Isn't it good to install a few cannons in this city? When my father knew that he was being pulled by an iron chain, what he thought of was not cutting the iron chain, but increasing the pressure? The only ability of your city is to self-detonate to produce freezing steam? (Although from the ending point of view, this freezing is not useful for eggs)
7. It is said that the film took 9 years. It can be seen that the director is very ambitious, but the result is not satisfactory, especially the smelly and long rhythm in the later stage. 3 stars give an excellent production level.
