>What was the message of this movie?
Don't do drugs.
i only watch this movie on dxm and i still don't really remember or understand it, so i guess they're right
>message
Absolute fricking homosexualry to a highest degree, that's what this post is
The message is that you watched a gorgeous animation, here's your message, now go suck on some balls in between watching your chink cartoon analysis videos on youtube you complete fricking homosexual
The Japanese got nuked and put extremely obvious imagery and plot lines to indicate some message about it, suck a fat one moron
not that guy but it's not so much a straight up message as the akira event in the movie and the following cyberpunk dystopia can be seen as roughly analogous to the nuclear bombings of hiroshima and nagasaki and the following economic boom and the move from japan into a international electronics production powerhouse
if you're so sure, state the message then moron
Akira is supposed to be the power of the universe and life, but humans stole the power and corrupted it and imprisoned Akira. The only way to go back the way way things were before (pre nuke) is some kind of cataclysm. That’s all I got from it I was just wind if I was missing something
gay lmao
>and imprisoned Akira
no they didn't, akira successfully transcended, i guess all that supernatural shit probably fits into some kind of budhist framework somehow though i wouldn't know how
again though, still no clear cut "message"
I bet you watch a godzilla movie and rave about how important and powerfully anti-nuclear and anti-imperialist it is
Just watch your popcorn flicks and shut the frick up, analyzing a bunch of asiatic drawings, you're an embarrasment
Here, analyze this drawing too while you're at it you fricking homosexual
Godzilla isn't anti-imperialist. It's anti-American. Japanese were imperialist themselves.
That said, you're a victim yourself. I just pity you too.
>Godzilla isn't anti-imperialist. It's anti-American.
lmao
it didn't have a strong message so much as it had some light themes like government overreach and clandestine experimentation surrounded by a cyberpunk dystopia
I’m pretty sure the government transferring Akiras power to the test subjects was some kind of metaphor for government creating nukes. The scientist at one point even says something about how Tetsui is creating new particles not known to man that can be used to explain the origin of the universe
Tetsuo was manlet shithead and you should nip that problem in the bud before something like this happens.
Early
And often
They had to butcher the story to make it work as a movie, so don't think too hard about it and just enjoy the animation.
i think tetsuo and kaneda's relationship is the heart of the movie. i don't know that there's one succinct message to put a bow on it, but the core of the movie is these two kids, who have been enveloped into all this crazy elaborate destruction and other-worldly horror. by the end it's like, can you believe what has become of us? we were two naive young boys, best friends, and look at what this crazy world has done to us.
The movie is basically the first few and last few chapters of an extremely long manga mashed together with none of the actual plot in it so whatever themes or message you take from it are accidental
ps the message of the manga is that scientists carelessly going along with research projects always just ends up transferring power in to the wrong hands
the movie barely has a message because it's a RIDICULOUSLY truncated version of the manga's story, which is much more about how old ways of thinking are detrimental in the face of something new and unknown, and how the desire for power corrupts those who would do anything to get it
the message is don't go and frick around making unethical experiments.
the entire message of the movie is captured in the bike gang fight at the beginning with the RASSE RASSE RASSE RA song.
evidently the song is something that is sung at a summer festival to shake off the heat and drowsiness of summer. except in akira it's the kids captures the kid's attitude towards society.
Something about the obliteration of the self and transcending to a realm where you become a creator God. Been a while since I've seen it.
>Something about how humanity has to get rid of nuclear weapons?
thats literally it. did it not hammer the point by like the seventh fricking not-a-nuke devastating the (already devastated) city and killing people (none of the important characters die though) or tetsuo turning into some weird blob mutant
