A trembling feeling before the birth of a tangible new world

Science stuff, like chemistry that was a headache in my high school, is very cold and hard. But in this film, I really feel the huge sense of mechanical life, as if the world in front of me really ushered in a great revolution, and I am one of them, not a repetition in daily life.

The exquisiteness of the picture, not much to say, only from the beginning of the gears, conveyor belts, screws, I have already knelt down, the Japanese perverted spirit can no longer be said to be pure ingenuity or some kind of work attitude, you can almost see people The unparalleled sense of detail and the sense of the times presented with flesh and blood and the most dedicated heart. This is my first Otomo Keyo! After Hayao Miyazaki, Toshi Kon, and Mamoru Oshii, another MASTER that moved me! What kind of team is needed for such a picture! What kind of manpower can make it with how much money and how many difficulties to overcome! People who have been in domestic animation companies deeply understand that such animations do not talk about the plot, and the pictures alone represent China forever? Maybe something that might exist in a hundred years from now. I've seen so many good projects fall through because the funding doesn't come true. Why do Chinese people comfort themselves, there is no way that the domestic market is like this, everyone is like this! The market likes to be funny and easy, you teach me to be obedient and learn the Pleasant Bears, don't go to the complicated ones, I'll tell you! Get real! And 2004's "STEAM BOY" can make Chinese animation, especially the animation executives who only recognize money and have no pursuit, slap the face to the disabled, you know? ! When I saw the picture reflected in the close-up eyes of the boy by the window: the picture of Ray holding Scarlett and dragging the long tail, the director planted the seeds of hope for the unenlightened children to look at the sky The feeling almost made me cry!

Back to the plot, the foreshadowing of the ball was buried for a long time, and it was more than enough to tickle my appetite, which annoyed me. It was too slow! But everything introduced vividly portrays the sense of the old and the new in the 19th century Britain in the industrial revolution. For example, the experiment at the beginning, the station, and the carriage for express delivery have the logo of ROYAL, the ancient royal family and Ready-to-go machine production with a uniquely British charm. I almost thought that the character's mouth was in English. The advanced machines revealed in the first track ball capture must have excited the detail control and mechanical fans a little. All kinds of more and more eye-catching machines appeared, one more advanced than the other, and the carriage just ran by. ! Unknowingly entered that era.

Entering the steam city, my father waved his arms like a speech and said, "Secondary school, the girl and Lei are playing with themselves, it's embarrassing! I'm embarrassed for my father! The eldest lady was very noisy at the beginning! Optional! annoying! But what never disappoints is the mechanical setting of this film. Entering the interior, the dark, complex and huge monster mechanical system makes people feel like entering the mechanical ruins of Erpinmian. It is huge and weird. It is obviously made by humans but monsters. Terrible! It is also very precise, as if there is self-awareness, a similar feeling of deep-sea phobia. After that, the plot is not good, but a huge and exciting robot monster has risen! fly! I even thought that after Dad entered a closed state, his body decomposed into a part of the steam city! The result is just the magnified eyeball of the bad guy, false alarm.

Scientists as competitors are all worshipped under the flying steam city. The self-esteem and sensitivity of scientists naturally know that even failure is a great thing. That trembling joy transcends moral ecstasy, just like Ray first saw His father's weapon was admired and loved very much, but he was scolded by his grandfather. Lei also remembered the culprit who destroyed his house and was not so happy, but the kind of excitement reflected at the beginning was like the worship of his competitors, and the scenery of pursuing the ultimate and standing on the top of the mountain attracted people, and used morality. Judgment can be said to be blind, but the top technology is not guilty, and it is the wrongly used human beings who are guilty? Therefore, my father's point of view, the pursuit of pure scientific progress, is very convincing. He also knows that as long as it is seen, the crashed steam city will continue to be created. This has also been proved by yellow-haired scientists. It's impossible not to feel itchy when you see something more powerful. That's why people who stick to justice, white lotus, and always good people will be ridiculed severely, but they can't help being tempted to change, and they will give up because of the turning point of the situation. feel more real. I also think so in my heart.

Therefore, the plot of this film is not too weak, and many people have complained, but it is exquisite, sincere and devoted, mechanical monsters, the pursuit of pure science (father's faction) and resolute opposition to nothing but the best technology The collision of viewpoints and the sense of the times of (Grandpa's School) are very, very wonderful. The fall of the Steam City is accompanied by the tragic fate and lamentable music, which is very moving. I've been looking forward to grandpa's amusement park being more colorful and what kind of reaction it will bring to the children, but it didn't. Only the music of the eerily cheerful merry-go-round sounded on the falling steam city. It felt like a horn blowing at the end of the century. It was obviously miserable, but it also brought some pure and bright joy, like the cruel laugh of an innocent child. But the impact of technology has been deeply sown, and this is by no means the end.

Although the illustration at the end of the conscience tells us the story after this, grandpa's electric light, Scarlett flying the plane, the grandfather's figure in front of the grave disappears in front of the stone cross, etc., telling us that the technological monster is reborn and thriving, this is our modern world Oh predecessor! A real part of history! That greatness will come again.
