The picture is great, but the plot is unsatisfactory.

I saw this animation recently because I wanted to draw cyberpunk stuff.
First of all, I am amazed.
When I first saw it, I was attracted by the exquisite picture. Thinking that this was a work from 12 years ago, I was surprised.
Some of the items inside are also designed with thought, such as the boy's home light and a series of chair settings.
The overall effect of the picture has a repressed industrial revolution gray, very overall.
Technology has nothing to say.
Then it's bad.
1. The performance of the characters is really a bit unsatisfactory. I won't say anything about beauty, but such a passerby child will be submerged wherever it is placed, although it is a feature of the film's style? Can't find any bright spots.
The portrayal of characters is average, after all, the works were done so many years ago. .
2. The main idea of ​​the story is unclear and inconsistent.
For example, at the beginning, the old man was like a man who sacrificed his son for success. He didn't listen to other people's advice for the goal of success, which led to tragedy. The first impression is poor. First impressions matter.
Another example is that the old man wanted to give the ball to another person, but that person also wanted to start a war. After he started the war, he directly destroyed the exhibition. I see that some people said that the group of the eldest lady did not hesitate to start a war to display their products. ? Not really. So it directly caused the audience to feel that the old man was deceived, or that the old man had different opinions. Later, the boy felt that this person was not the person the old man said. The idea of ​​the theme is too vague and too convoluted.
Maybe the theme is anti-war? But what is depicted is the "biggest battle." It didn't really go to war, but came first.
There is a detail. The boy stepped on a steam ball and stepped on a pilot into the water. He said that he should pay attention to safety? EM? ! Please, does such a line setting really make this boy look handsome? (But first of all, he is not handsome. And it will make people disgusted.
In addition, the interpretation of the eldest lady, for an animation, such a performance is a bit too much and annoying. It is not a mother-in-law drama.
Finally, the steam city started, and the old man said that his son was crazy? To shoot him. EM? ! Who in the end went crazy? What's the reason for starting this machine? Would the incident have developed like this if it hadn't been for the gang to fight? This is a story setup error.
I saw that after the old man started, some amusement park settings came out, EM! ? Wouldn't that seem too childish? This setting is far-fetched. Or should the story be explained at the beginning of the story that the old man studied the invention of steam for the purpose of making an amusement park? This sudden appearance was too abrupt.
This troublemaker, to solve his own troubles, really can't make people feel great.
And how many people died this time, the submarine probe is the old man and his son, right? In the end, their family was still alive and living together.
So, okay, it's for art and graphics. Of course, there are deductions for character settings.
