The world view of the predatory city is relatively novel. The city is movable, just like "Howl's Moving Castle", which can be moved, but this moving city is indeed driven by machines, not because of magic.
A disaster destroyed the high civilization of human beings. Thousands of years later, human beings have adapted to life and have their own set of methods. The weak is the main theme of this movie.
The film focuses on the giant plundering city of "London", and explains around it eroding other cities and robbing resources, which brings in the background of lack of resources.
In fact, there is really no problem with the main tone of the movie, because the main point of the film is the plot. The heroine's entry into the mirror gives everyone the feeling that she is experienced, tough, and has good skills, but what will be explained later is that she was raised by zombies. Without explaining her skills, why she was able to survive in the wasteland, why she used a knife, and how to avoid the "London" staff who checked her belongings, all this came out of nowhere.
The relationship between the protagonist and the villain is even more incredible. The villain grabs resources in order to go to the "mountain country". She didn't hesitate to reopen the "Medusa" that destroyed civilization before. The protagonist's mother stopped her after she understood the villain's thoughts and was killed. The protagonist was 5 years old at the time and was rescued by zombies and lived together, but she remembered the enemy. But he can't do it himself, because the villain is his father~~
The male protagonist is also an inexplicable existence. It is optional and can only play a role in some small key points. I sincerely recommend that all the content be put on the female protagonist, and the female protagonist should be shaped into a polyhedron, intelligent and capable. people.
The villain's heart is a bit strange. He is actually very good to the daughter he lives with, but he is cruel to the daughter of the protagonist. He doesn't care, and even kills her. In the end, he didn't succeed, but his goal felt that it was not the resources of the mountain country, but to perish together, because he wanted to hit the gate of the mountain country with "London", which would easily destroy himself~
The zombie part is even more strange. The zombies are very powerful. It is ok for him to chase the heroine and kill her. Finally, he tells everyone that the heroine is raised by zombies. The zombies are just to find the heroine. With the person you love, the zombies are like losing motivation, and the heroine doesn't say a word, why don't you say it clearly before leaving, this is buried well, but the later explanation is too weak, resulting in the loss of such a A nice digging space.
The villain's daughter is even more useless, and the whole process is useless~ just brought in the male protagonist, and the male protagonist is not very useful.
There is no need to talk about other loopholes. The more you dig, the more the director feels that he has weakened such a grand worldview just to tell the plot.
Predatory cities, then there should be more wars between cities. The heroine's plot is either weakened or strengthened, which is more in line with the plot. In short, the world view of this movie is really spectacle, and I believe many people also like it This kind of setting, but the content of the plot is really disappointing.
