2. The characters are weak. Although there are no characters to please the audience, and no obvious labels of good people and bad people, the description of the characters is still a bit weak. It's kind of like a children's drama.
3. The description of social culture is only Samsung.
Since it is an overhead history, the social culture and the form of the common people created are the key to determining whether the play is solid or not.
If we describe a society dominated by "steam technology", then the impact of steam on society will certainly not be limited to science and technology. But it will have an impact on culture and even people's habits and customs.
For example, in education, how can steam technology be passed on from generation to generation and progress?
For example, in life, how does "steam" affect the lives of ordinary people? Just like how the "electricity" of our parallel universe affects our lives?
For example, the city’s streets, sewers, department stores, schools, men’s and women’s social activities, political systems, etc.
These details do not need to be described specifically, but they must penetrate into each lens.
"Metropolis" is much plumper.
Of course, the picture of "Steam Boy" is very magnificent and mechanical (although there are many places that do not conform to Newton's laws of mechanics), and the effect of the white smoke emitted by the steam is very good.
Otomo Katsuhiro’s animations mostly use dark tones and a sense of chaos. There are similar effects in the "Memories Trilogy" and "Old Man Z".
For comparison, Miyazaki is good at using bright colors, lively green trees, pink and lively flowers, blue sky and white clouds, and small fish in clear water. It's beautiful.
The former is realistic, using a pessimistic description to make the audience reflect. The latter is idealistic, gives us positive energy and makes the audience yearn for the future.
in conclusion. A little bit of philosophy.
Long Ge once said: A civilization's technology and culture must progress at the same time, and there can be no too many differences. If technology far exceeds culture, then civilization itself will destroy itself. If culture surpasses science and technology, then civilization will fall into a quagmire similar to religion and move forward with difficulty.
Although unclear, I feel terrible.
