The deepest, the purest

I heard that it was Otomo Katsuyo's work, and immediately I was shocked to respect it. The name is very big. The last time I watched his cartoon was a very early "Pharaoh". Lying on the bed that afternoon made me heavy and said that the contradiction between robots and basic human nature-in fact, his film is not entertainment in the ordinary sense at all. Animation works of nature are similar to essays, always criticizing something and wanting to discuss something.
And this style is also destined that he will not pursue the false beauty and realism of the characters in mainstream animation, and at the same time, it is also destined not to attract everyone's attention at the beginning like an idol drama-but when you really sit down and watch After going in, you can only scream at the case and yell at greatness.
Because it is the production of the big screen, there are more or less commercial things on the screen of the story. Of course, this also increases the popularity and greatness of the film-the screens, those that are refined to the point, gorgeous to the point, and spectacular to the point. The picture! When I watched it, I kept complaining that the display screen at home was too small and too small. It is really worth going to the cinema to see so much. The simple plot, with the use of these blood-based effects to add flesh and blood, so the thoughts are naturally revealed, there is no procrastination, no thin and empty. Meaningful.
The appearance of a steam city like a glass pyramid, the light shimmering in movement and war, exquisite and beautiful. During the Industrial Revolution, Manchester and London's smoky-black urban landscapes are also real and detailed, which is amazing. The most impressive is the scene after the explosion of the product of the scientific tragedy, the final Steam City. Because the consumption of a large amount of steam requires a lot of external heat, so the splashed air mass during the big explosion was frozen before it could disperse in the future. Imagine what it was like. A still and magnificent scene! And when the ice body of the water mist is lightly touched and the whole body is immediately disintegrated and instantly dissipated, the scattered ice mist is scattered all over the sky and withered, slowly descending, and reflecting into thousands of small sequins, like snow, the gold class is bright Snowflakes-a beautiful and sad ending.
I was in front of the screen, dumbfounded.

    [Exhibition at the China Film Archive] Film version. Although the film is a little faded and missing a minute, the big screen still fully displays the gorgeous and delicate animation, and the 2D background and 3D animation are worthy of years of polishing. Although I feel that the plot is a bit exaggerated, the steampunk setting is still quite interesting. Immerse yourself in a fantasy world right up to the end credits. The soundtrack of the movie is amazing, it still reverberates in my mind after the scene

    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: http://goo.gl/Kqt1l
