Akira

This is science fiction about the 30 years after World War III. The quality of movies from more than 30 years ago is amazing.

In fact, sometimes I think that a war destroyed human civilization. If only a small number of ordinary people survived and all archived materials of science and technology were destroyed, it seems that human civilization has to start anew. With modern thoughts and beliefs and the level of life and technology in ancient times, will this group of people create a happier social order than in ancient times? But fortunately, so far, as long as human beings can continue, it is still human beings who rule the world. In the process of evolution, organisms are changing in form and function. If evolution is likened to a line, does the original source all originate from that single cell? It is mentioned in the film what an amoeba would do if it gained the power and form of a human. The amoeba will only swallow whatever is around it it can. The results are predictable. It seems that everyone is some kind of animal in human skin, and they have a will that belongs to themselves and cannot be tampered with. If one day humans transform their bodies like Victor. Man has become a creature whose intelligence is archived in a mechanical body. That is also an evolution. "Aguilar", a symbol of power at the beginning of the film, exists in everyone's body, and after awakening, a choice must be made, even if it is not ready. This power is enough to destroy human beings. When such a power is endowed with a human will. Then, the world is either in crisis or ushering in hope. Regarding "wisdom", wisdom can be figuratively regarded as the core factor behind various "successful" cases, and it seems that it can be likened to a kind of existence or a kind of will, a great and untouchable mysterious power. This statement seems to have a bit of a religious connotation. A great force created our world today, his name is "wisdom", so he worshipped "wisdom" as a god, and founded the "wisdom religion". To the later stage of the film, it was confirmed that Akira was not a force, but a A person was born in a period when human beings experimented with children. In short, by the end of the film, I didn't have a clear understanding of Akira. There are ambiguous expressions of religion, politics, and many abstract concepts in the film. There are a few passages that I don't understand. There are a lot of numbers in the background board, and I haven't figured out what it means. In addition, I don't know why "Akira" is pronounced as the word (Akeyla), it was imprinted in my mind very early, at first I thought he was the opening song "Akumano's Wife Kara" ( The voice combination of "Akuma" in Devil's Power), and Yagami's nickname "key Ra"). But then I seriously asked myself, I am sure Akira is Akira , he has a mystical symbol in my heart, and I love that word. Not a combination of other words, it is unique. What is mysterious, unknowable, and to some extent knowable is mysterious?

Or maybe the mystery itself is a word invented by humans, the real mystery, indescribable. And if the saying that the mystery is indescribable itself proves the descriptibility of the mystery.

Damn, this damn paradox, this language flaw.

    I put on my headphones and turned on the sound louder than usual. I didn't expect to be scared by the sound of the hammer when the subtitle "31 YEARS..." was released... I watched a Japanese animation, but I didn't expect to download it. English dubbed version... The car chase action scene at the beginning is really cruel and bloody... "Steam Boy", "Memories Trilogy" and this "Aguila", I can basically guess that Otomo Keyang will not become My heart is in love? ...

    The pace is slow, and the first half is long. There are too many people, and you can't grasp the whole. In the second plot, the protagonist is still omnipotent. The characters are ugly, even lower than the real ones. Real-life sci-fi can do better things now, disappointed.
