What is reflected in the film is a world threatened by nuclear radiation. The ground is covered with nuclear radiation. For the sake of safety, human beings have no choice but to abandon their homes where they have lived for tens of thousands of years, leave the place where civilization began, and live underground to survive. The underground sky is always black and inextinguishable neon lights, controllable temperature and weather, everything is in the grasp of science, Chuck and Asuka are two young agents who discovered it during a previous cult operation. Living winged angel. The two righteous protagonists managed to save the flying girl's life, but it was considered an important element for human beings to return to the surface. The government immediately sent her to the laboratory. After some inner struggle, Chuck and Asuka did not hesitate to deviate from the organization. , decided to rescue the only surviving angel. After all kinds of difficulties and obstacles, the car crossed the tunnel and drove to the ground. Although the sun is shining brightly on the ground, strands of gold are shining on the ground, but the scattered greenery is very desolate. There are no animals, no humans, and the land is dead silent. The signs passing by the car windows are written in red with warnings such as being careful of the danger of the sun. . Hayao Miyazaki said that at that time, the radiation on the earth intensified, and human beings could no longer survive on the ground, so humans built a flowery city underground as a refuge, but I personally think that it is actually impossible for human beings to escape from that disaster , so I made a short film to show a real world and the living conditions of people. I think human beings at that time were disdainful of social systems and legal provisions. It can be said that they were in a state of anarchy, and human beings began to degenerate. , wasting time like the walking dead, people filling their empty and hopeless lives with drug addiction, gambling religion, and I think that's what this song really means.

This is a movie full of morbid consciousness, Miyazaki is full of pessimism about the future of mankind.

——《Anime Master Hayao Miyazaki》

When the winged girl flew into the sky, it felt like a seed of hope that was scattered to the earth. Although the surface has been polluted and uninhabited, it is in this vast wasteland. I still see that, in fact, Hayao Miyazaki has romantic feelings, otherwise he would not be able to turn the ending to hope.

Hayao Miyazaki's point of view believes that Japan is a bad world for adults, where the population has exploded, the competition is fierce and cruel, and the industry is highly developed, but he still hopes to preserve a pure land of innocence where hope and imagination can be placed.
