White and black good and evil

"White, the screws that lack a lot of screws have failed, and they have been broken a lot. So, he also lacks a lot of screws, but the black and missing screws are white and he holds all of them... they have them all."

——"Evil Child"

Looking at the character style of an anime that will not be very pleasing, but the detailed handling, emotional contrast, and the physical reality of the characters' inner struggles are eye-catching. It has social cruelty, class strife, different people's responsibility and attachment to the "root", which is piercing people's hearts, mixed with feelings of struggle, resistance, obedience, and so on.

The protagonists, Black and White, are a pair of bad boys in this city who depend on each other for their lives. When their city is occupied by people who seek to make profit, they made their own choices and persisted.

For me, it’s the word that is the most poking in the whole film. It seems that the two people get along in a protective position that the black dominates, but it is because he has "white" as a support, and it is because the white firmly holds him. With the screw in the heart, the two talents can redeem each other and inject their ideals and beliefs.

    The colors are much brighter than the narrative, but the style is bizarre. It's an amazing animation.

    A bit of a stream-of-consciousness animation, the movie divides the dilemma that people face into two bad boys, white and black, one representing purity and the other representing darkness. The city is always too indifferent. Maybe people, just like the director hoped, will find a seaside, blue sky, and a peaceful life at the end.
