Ego expansion under the guise of big Japanism and technology

Strictly speaking, this film is not the pinnacle of Japanese animation. It was not in the past, and it will not be in the future. It is
the processing from the script to the animation. This film is considered a high level. At least, this is a yardstick of my own
. One, there is no need to watch the second, the second is purely a tribute to John Woo, the rotten pigeons with strong reproductive ability have made me visually tired, and besides the improvement of the animation production level (nonsense, the computer has been updated For several generations), there is basically no progress in the script. Strictly speaking, there is only a regression.
If people who have watched 2 first, may dismiss it, just like they said they were stupid after watching Star Wars 1 yesterday. The technology is different, the words will not be outdated, and the technology is fleeting.
Compared with Japan's lock-down, the story of Apple Core is more rigorous, the plot is more Japanese, and the handling of several major climaxes is also more ups and downs and rationalized. Japan's Suoguo wins in CG technology, others,
and then finds a trend. Americans like individual heroism very much. Whether it is movies, TV or animation, they always have to create a tall and complete character. Of course, tall is a certain thing, it is hard to say, every hero is more or less perfect, This is cute, and every American hero always has to have a tragic experience, or is struggling with survival, such as the dissatisfied Spider-Man in reality, the Hulk who turned into a monster, Superman who can't find his mother, and the reality It's just an ordinary reporter in there... wait, but these people are lovely and don't make us feel so alienated because of their imperfections. While Japanese manga is vigorously developing guns and guns, they subtly want to cultivate their own concept of heroes, that kind of cold, powerful and even invincible men and women... (This is often even more strange, the low status of Japanese women is the crowd Everyone knows, but women in animation are often very strong and violent), and their actions can always be attributed to saving the world. Similar to saving little Japan, is saving all mankind! Japanese technology is the future of mankind. Could it be that the Japanese are all cheerleaders, no wonder there is a little Japanese fat boy in the heroes to save the world, even Americans know that the Japanese are good at it
Well, the values ​​shown in this cartoon can actually be far-fetchedly connected with the beliefs of the Japanese nation. The senseless explosions, destructions, and threats to human beings or planets in Japanese comics are just like the martial arts of their nation. It is their self-satisfaction and pride in their current technology. I don't mean to say that animation is involved in national policies, but this self-inflated heroism always makes me feel uncomfortable.
No matter what, Japan is forming its own kind of heroic animation. Unlike Hollywood's magical comics, heroes are gradually encroaching on the values ​​of the younger generation, so we don't know how effective and how far they can go. But if you want to talk about high-tech and how to write the script, you have to look at the ability of Little Japan
