If you don’t see it as a painting, just look at this expression of ideas, it’s hard to imagine that this is a work from the late 1980s. It is undoubtedly a masterpiece, but in fact, this animation has many shortcomings in the production of expressions. You can understand the character of this character inside and out, it is too simple and pure. Otomo Keyang wanted to express a view of creation, but he did not express it clearly. This slightly vague feeling is not that kind of mysterious sense of "Tao Dao, very Tao" or "Unspeakable", it's really just too vague. Therefore, the most clear presentation of this film is only the worship and fear of human power itself, and the saying that everyone has Agia has its deep meaning, nothing more.
The expression of this view of creation means that the birth of the universe is not an explosion and an extension, but a contraction and repetition. At the end of the 1980s, this kind of thinking was actually quite pioneering. The future already exists, so it is to shrink from the future to the past, rather than extending the past to the future. To understand and define the nature of the world with the simple causal relationship that the past determines the future is undoubtedly trying to sum up chaos theory with linear equations.
Destruction is something of no value. No matter how much people expect to have the ability to destroy the sky and the earth, destruction is worthless, because even termites can do this kind of destruction, but creation cannot.
