It doesn't matter who the tower of Babylon will be destroyed

The architectural scene of the Tower of Babylon throughout the film is so grand and delicate, but the people walking in it are so vague and scribbled.

Whether it's human or robot, it feels like everyone is stumbled out with an initial setup, and the next step is all passively dragged away by the situation.

Does Kenichi's detective uncle remember what his vague inquiry request was?

The Troma robot that Duke Rhett is thinking of, he has not read the user manual, right?

As a superhuman Troma, he has been in a state of being half busy and half awake...?

The revolutionaries in the underground area were all in strife, whether it was a demonstration or a violent revolution, and they didn't know what they wanted to do...

Locke, who always wanted to put his father on the throne, finally detonated the metropolis with his own hands?

When the tower of Babylon was finally detonated and the music sounded, the world turned red and the fragments scattered, and it felt that the world was finally quiet...

the only point: The day Babylon was built, it could only go to death. It doesn't matter who comes to witness...

    From Yang Guifei to the Three-Body Problem to Metropolis, the pattern of male thinking basically cannot escape this tradition: to make a girl who is as innocent as a blank sheet of paper and no one can bear to blame it, and destroy the country and the world. All the sins pushed her head, and then shed a few tears of sadness or secret love or ambiguous for her, well, everyone can lie down in comfort, and the male pig's feet who have no fault can be spared.

    #siff23#Rewatch. Otomo Katsuhiro's style far surpasses Tezuka Osamu and Rintaro, looking at the future tribute and nostalgia from the perspective of 100 years ago. But the story was not well written, and now it seems that the look and feel has decreased. Only the romance of the climax is partially destroyed. It is completely dependent on the atmosphere to support the love for this film from childhood to adulthood. This probably makes no sense. It can only be said that if you choose a movie theater in China to watch this film, Shanghai Daguang is definitely the first choice. As soon as the opening jazz sounded, the whole classical decoration of Daguang seems to bring you back 100 years ago.
