| Such a visually impressive work from start to finish, thanks to its superb animation, skillful camera work and direction, incredible colors, detailed background art and, last but not least, remarkable music (jazz, orchestral, and Ray Charles, none of which sounded out of place). The ending song 😍 The contrast between Tezuka's childish design and the city's realism is not for everyone, but I think it works well for this type of story, making the viewing equally avant-garde and vintage. The shortcomings imo are to be found in the pacing and characters. Still, a masterful film for all ages, more relevant today than ever. Definitely made for the wide screen! |
 watching, waiting, commiserating |
| Man... "I Can't Stop Loving You" was such a fitting choice for the climax. Rock can't let go of his adoptive father, even after being rejected multiple times. He's rather blow up the damn city than let his father be killed by the one thing Rock hates most. Duke Red can't let go of his deceased daughter. Kenichi can't let go of Tima, even when she's no longer the Tima he used to know and is actively trying to kill him. Much of the movie seems to be contemplative of people doing horrible things out of wounded love. |
| cool animation and music, simple plot and characters. fine overall |
