In this film, Mamoru Oshii continued his preference for robots and cyborgs and continued to explore the future and destiny of mankind. Where will humanity take its future? Is the destruction of mankind inevitable, driven by hatred and greed? Can humans and aliens (biochemical humans) coexist peacefully? Many science fiction stories repeat these questions, and they will continue to be repeated countless times in the future.
In most stories, a simple but bright answer is obtained, and "Apple Nuclear War" is an exception.

Can human beings understand it? Can they understand each other? Or will it inevitably lead to confrontation?
The film is already very early, and the machinery and scenes in the 3D effect are already very realistic and shocking, especially the sunset ndid beauty of thunset when Dina returns. But the 3Dization of the characters is still rough, especially the hair and skin, which has only been greatly improved in the sequel. When it comes to the character design, the mechanized male protagonist, Pulias, has two raised ears on top of his head—it is completely the setting of Rabbit...
