Most of the Japanese cults such as Aum Shinrikyo emerged with the rapid rise of Japan's economy in the last century. It is worth noting that most of their followers are above the middle class of society. In other words, believers are rich and have a higher level of education. Take, for example, the sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway in 1995. "Hideo Murai" is the chief graduate of the Department of Physics of Osaka University and a scientist among the main prisoners. "Seiichi Endo" is a doctoral student at Kyoto University School of Medicine, focusing on virology and genetics.

    The climax and big scenes are too dense and frequent, and the more you go to the back, the more visual fatigue, and the narrative layering is lost to the spectacular aura. The influence of Fritz Lang's "Metropolis" is obvious, but even "Metropolis" has moving encounters.

    1. The concept of "collapse" in Japanese anime really goes deep into the bones! The apocalyptic and renewal themes appear in almost all Japanese animations with sci-fi colors. 2. Neither the narrative nor the character set conforms to the Hollywood model, the narrative is very loose, the so-called "third act" is too long (not the standard three acts), Jin Tian is not the protagonist in the standard sense (not even Tie Xiong). 3. Haruki Murakami also wrote a lot about the reappearance of protests in Japan in the 1960s and 1970s. 4. The ending is too magical, not as good as "Red Pepper" and "Gun Shell". 5. Editing and storyboarding are sharp and fast. 6. I still feel that many artists in Japan don't value the life of a single person so much, and only regard it as a humble victim. 7, the big screen looks really cool!
