The investment in this drama is too wasteful

I don’t know if it’s the reason why I haven’t seen the original work. I really didn’t understand why there is such a speechless plot... It

feels good at the beginning. Even if I don’t understand the philosophy he wants to express, at least it gives people a kind of "unclear". The feeling of "Kakuri"...especially the characters such as Captain Hallock, Yuuki Hotaru, Miime, etc., are really beautiful.

Unfortunately, as the plot progressed, the screenwriter’s IQ was exposed.

When Yuuki Ying asked if there was anyone willing to perform this "dangerous mission" when I went to plant the 99th bomb, there was a bunch of pirates who ran across the universe and killed countless people. There was no one willing... Ha ha, See the truth in adversity! How did the 98 bombs before the protagonist Yamada boarded the ship?

When Yuuki and Yama were planting the 99th bomb, Yama reached out his hand and touched the gun behind him. I thought it was going to destroy the flower, but it suddenly became dangerous. Then Yamada actually rescued Yuuki and died willingly. …As a special agent, you don’t need to perform the task, and you will die for some reason… Well, since Captain Hallock has saved you with his divine power, I don’t care. Maybe you are kind and don’t look down on beautiful women. Send it to death. But then he let go of the main target, Captain Hallock, because he told you that your mission is impossible and meaningless? You are not even afraid of dying to save beautiful women, but you are also afraid of "death is meaningless"? I suspect that the screenwriter actually doesn’t know what an agent is, right? Well, I just believe that Yama is a person with a story, so I was touched in my heart and the captain was prepared for reasons such as it is reasonable to give up such a good opportunity. For the time being, I believe that Yama is so easy to betray the earth and seek refuge in pirates. Is logical...

Then came the big scene, the absolute line of defense built by 36,000 warships to contain the pirate ship! Haha, it was a farce, countless elites were actually fooled by holographic images! Still twice! And when at least 560 warships were confined for the second time (calculated based on "97% damage, only 17 remaining to fight"), it can be said that there is no way to fight back. Think about it. The attack took away 97% of the fleet, or at least 540 warships, and the people on the command ship couldn’t even figure out where the enemy ship flew (say, are you sure this is a space war rather than a deep-sea submarine war?)... just like According to other film critics, are you sure that the screenwriter is the strongest fleet of mankind and not the kindergarten to make soy sauce?

Next, Isola (the protagonist Yama’s brother) who was captured on the way to the earth expresses the dark history of the pirate captain Harlock to the protagonist. The plot here is in line with the complicated logic of the Japanese: Ha Locke is the former captain of the Earth Protection Fleet. He believes that the earth is sacred and inviolable. He was angry when he discovered that the committee had privately allowed a few privileged persons to return to the earth. So he wanted to retaliate and stop the committee and destroy the earth at all costs... Funny, this is what you protect. The way of the earth-ruined her? The only pit filled here is that Hallock can't kill, so it is reasonable for Yama to give up the assassination...
After that, Yama actually returned to the embrace of the earth... This, this, this Nima pit father. ? Do you have a stand?

The Earth Fleet that captured Hallock returned. My brother Isola ordered Yama to guard the captives. During the chat, I talked to my brother's wife Nami. Combining the previous clips can piece together such a complicated story: it was caused by Yama's impulse when he was a teenager. The explosion made the lower limbs of his brother Isola paralyzed, and his sister-in-law was also a childhood friend of the two brothers. Nami could only survive on life-saving devices and 3D consciousness projection. The painful and self-blaming younger brother Yama became "the person who walked instead of his brother" after hearing his brother's words. —This may also be the reason why Yama was dispatched in this undercover operation. Yama’s surrender angered his brother during the operation, and Nami believed his brother and even helped him obtain the Earth’s plan of action. Afterwards, she even said deliberately in the conversation with her brother. Saying "I have always liked Yama", the furious elder brother unplugged Nami's plug, and then Nami hung up inexplicably, so the elder brother became angry with her younger brother...
In other words, how can Yama, who has such a past, give up his mission without hesitation and take refuge in pirates...
As an older brother, he should be angry with his younger brother. After all, he caused the tragedy of Nami and herself, but I I really feel that Nami’s death was the cause of her brother. “The life-sustaining device was damaged while helping brother obtain the Earth’s action plan” is purely a lie. It was you who caused the damage by pulling the plug...

Finally, I went to the earth for a tour. Yama of the circle had an epiphany, and found that the pirates were right (Yama, your position is no position, right?), so he rescued the pirates and launched a big counterattack...
the highlight of this There are: the committee does not hesitate to destroy the earth, but also to destroy the pirates who want to destroy the earth (this logic...), the brothers’ cannibalism, the elder brother is inexplicably probation, the weapon that is said to destroy the earth directly hits or fails to kill the pirates , The "Preservation of the Earth" committee disappointed by the displacement of the pirates who were lucky not to destroy the earth, Miime's strange resurrection, bombs were thrown on the surface of the earth at will without worrying about being eliminated, etc.... In the
final part, Yama inherited Captain Hallock's The name continues to be a chivalrous man... It
seems that the film is to express because Hallock recognized Yama’s beliefs, but are you sure that it’s not because Yama and Hallock look alike? After all, from the point of view of the whole movie, Yama’s beliefs are not reliable at all...


In short, this is a rather boring movie, which resolutely implements the wonderful Japanese way of thinking, except for the beautiful characters, it is not bad. Unexpectedly, the fighting scenes of the show were nothing. The investment in this drama was really wasted. It's better to make a game...
