So the movie started like this:
in a future world, war no longer exists, in order to preserve the viewing value of war, some "children" who will never grow up were created, flying planes in the era of World War II, carrying out The endless battle.
Let's not talk about the plot, there are already so few plots, and there is really no need to watch it any more. I have never seen Mamoru Oshii tell such an unsuspenseful story, and even if he sees the last second, it is hard to say what he expected. Because of the thinness of the plot, the details seem to carry the main task, but where is the tension that suppresses the plot and maintains the viewer's emotions? Is it being handled too restrained, or is it difficult to talk about emotional catharsis in the first place? I don’t know since when, Mamoru Oshii’s films have increasingly relied on Kenji Kawai’s soundtrack to stimulate emotions. Behind the stagnant picture that tests the viewer’s patience, there needs to be something to support it, but I want to say, Mamoru Oshii, this time, it’s over. . An absurd setting with no realistic mapping, coupled with a plot with only short story capacity, it is difficult to support a one-and-a-half hour movie after all. "Lonely soul" has been talked about too much, and the last bit of "passion for life" is lacking in brewing, and there is only a little hope that "if you keep working hard, maybe the system can be broken one day", but this meager hope Don't you feel a little hypocritical in a setting that is completely out of reality? This kind of setting an illusory goal, and then expressing the helplessness that cannot be achieved, even if there is a little hope left at the end, it is still difficult to say inspirational, but it is more like Gu Ying's self-pity for loners.
It has been nearly 5 years since "Innocence". As the mainstay of the family, Oshii Mamoru has a low production rate. I think sometimes it is not a good thing to prefer not to overuse. If you keep shooting, maybe you will have new ideas after being hollowed out. Whether Yu Hua or Oshii Shou, have returned after years of blankness, and the state is still recovering.
