(8/10) The 4k repaired version I watched at station A, the picture quality is simply invincible.
From the end of the last century to 10 years ago, there were still many old animations in this hand-painted mode. The unique feeling of hand-painting is really not comparable to the current electronic technology. There are all kinds of spectacular painting skills and expressiveness of oppression. It is to blast the grandeur of the big scene on your face. Even people who don't know much about film and television should be able to notice it by looking at the picture a little. And after simply appreciating the picture, then look back at the plot.
The characteristic of a large number of excellent works in the early years is that the plot is not as good as it is now, or maybe it is a previous style. Take a look at the martial arts and zombie films of the old Chinese era, and the works of "The Valley of the Wind" directed by Hayao Miyazaki. There is also this tone in it. It gives people a different feeling than the current film and television, because the main line is actually not obscure and difficult to understand, and even shows some simple, rude and naive, like walking forward along one or several intermittent roads, but deep in it. Engraved into the director's thinking. (That is, stream of consciousness? Don’t understand professional vocabulary) Technology is overdeveloped, bureaucrats are corrupt, the masses are ignorant, private human experimentation, distorted teenagers are successful, naive political parties want to create revolutions, capital’s maliciousness overflows the screen, everything is Out of control, like the movie itself. In such a work, it is really impossible to go too deep into the plot and rationality, the growth of the characters, etc. The author is exporting a lot of his emotions and feelings about the current society. Maybe it's like Hemingway's "Iceberg Theory", a lot of blank space leaves a lot of thinking space for the audience, which is actually very good, let you enjoy it slowly. That is to say, don't simply understand it, but feel it slowly. Of course, there are a lot of shortcomings, big and small, but after getting caught in it, I slowly ignore it a little bit, and it can really polish the plot.
Combined with the current epidemic, aren't some countries in the world slowly starting to get out of control? Look at the ignorant feudal people yelling in the street, and a group of people follow as believers, you have to admit that even though modern society is far from the cyberpunk that once fancied, but think about it, some things may be something Nothing has changed. This shows how important a stable society is to the development of human beings today.
In terms of technology, we do not believe in gods and religions, but will the development of science finally allow us to create gods ourselves? Although the worry in the film is very stupid, but look at the present, the development of artificial intelligence, the expansion of the information cocoon room, the metaverse plan, the progress of genetic engineering, maybe the worry in the sci-fi works is not for no reason, invading reality in Inception How many people still maintain the reason and conscience that never give up? Humans are just constantly developing in their desires, and I don’t know if the so-called technology tree is a little crooked. In the end, the research field will inevitably reach an uncontrollable restricted area.
With so many meaningful additions, it's no wonder that the public calls this work a masterpiece across the ages. How much has it inspired subsequent authors' progress?
