This is not "Miyazaki Hayao", this is just the director's immature brain hole

A steampunk animation of alternate time, the world view is very attractive. However, the follow-up handling of the main contradiction in the film seems frivolous. The contradiction between man and nature becomes the background board, the contradiction between man and man is a vassal of the previous contradiction, and the contradiction between lizard and lizard finally becomes a family infighting. It passed by in a hurry, without a sustained orgasm. The contradiction between man and lizard also collapsed as the plot progressed and the purpose of the lizard was revealed. Many people say that this is a spiritual sequel to "City in the Sky". In fact, the core processing of "City in the Sky" is much higher than this animation. "City in the Sky" has a clear villain, and the villain has a clear purpose. In the end, the protagonist defeated the villain and completed the interpretation of the anti-war idea. However, "Aviel and the Fictional World" is like a straight hook that exhausted all the strength, vowing to knock down the opponent in front of him, but hit the water at the moment when the lizard revealed his purpose. Empty, unfulfilled, that's how I felt after watching the full movie.
