like a farce

It's like a farce from beginning to end, whether it's macro or details, whether it's plot or characters, was the director deliberately filming it like this? It can also be understood as an absurd allegory.

The setting in which the energy is aroused in the heart is similar to "From the New World", the power is displayed in almost the same way as "Curse Power", and the youth shape is almost the same as that of "White Walkers". But this film is before, it should be imitated and carried forward by the new world.

There are naturally a lot of slots in this film, not much to say, but the settings of energy cosmic energy in the heart and Akira's annihilation restart are quite interesting.

The shouts of teenagers and children, the experiments of science and politicians, the sustenance of government and anti-government hopes, religious fans and blind people, as well as the various images in the film, there are still quite a few points worth discussing, but so much noise It's a fable, the story is not touching (maybe I have watched too many related films), the characters don't like it, and I don't like the film as a whole.
