does anybody else love this movie as much as i do? i had recommended it to both of my friends and they thought it sucked. i can't see how really... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, seeing as I dont know you personally, I couldnt say if I liked it as much as you... but yes, it is a good movie |
||||||||
|
|

|
a bit of a teenage 'whoa' movie, but a good one nonetheless. the soundtrack is great! he's making another movie out now/soon, called 'bubble boy' i think? |
||||||||
|
|

I used to love this movie. I haven't watch it in a long time, though I bet if I did my love would rekindle. I refuse to watch the new versions with the new dubbing. |

tell your friends they are dolts. this film is a masterpiece. but yeah most people watch it and think its rubbish cos they don't get it. yeah its bloody confusing, but it does make sense if you follow carefully. good shit. ghost in the shell is also cool |
||||||||

nice movie fo sho...the ending was a bit sik imo,when akira starts to become all muscular an horrible. the script is written very good and i didn't find it boring for some reason. |
||||||||

(*that's tetuso at the end) i love this movie...i love the manga even more, the ending makes much more sense funny too cuz today i "obtained" a 3" figure of the colonel from my local overpriced toy store. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
YES I LOVE IT |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think the end is one of the strongest parts...a vision of both internal collapse (tetsuo's loss of control) and and external cataclysm. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
yeah same thought here cycling...they really showed that in tune so to speak. but it's fuckin' trippy,cos i didn't watch the movie from the start,but half an hour later. so i didn't catch up what did the 3 lil white childs represented? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
failed past projects of colonel and the gang or what? |
||||||||

The image of the girl being crushed in Tetsuo's giant hideous body will always stick with me. Great movie, a mind bender. |

---SPOILER--- the children each have the akira power to some degree. they're weaker than tetsuo is and akira was, and were easier to control. the use of the power infantalized them -- they remain children in both mentality and constitution, tho their faces age and wrinkle. they were akira's peer, who was the most powerful wielder of that power, and who (it seems) caused the first tokyo cataclysm that is shown briefly in the very beginning. when tetsuo begins to use the force, the other 'children' keep gasping and mentioning 'akira'.. tetsuo eventually discovers that all that remains of akira is some preserved tissue in a lab. enough, at any rate, for akira's 'ghost'/psychic energy/whatever to appear briefly and smile understandingly after tetsuo collapses, presumably the same way he did. |

|
|
its a while since I saw it but ... at the end there is a shot of some stars/a galaxy, and one of the characters is talking Is this supposed to be Tetsuo (or Akira) using their power to create a whole new universe (with them as the creator) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh yeah: ^^^^ SPOILER ^^^^^ |

great anime, just got the orchestrated OST, the last two tracks are very deep. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Uhh. I don't GET this movie. It's like there's this thing and it's really powerful and blah blah blah. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes. I love this movie as much as you do. |
||||||||

Man, this thread has made we want to hook up the VCR and pop my Akira tape in, which will make me want to throw my Akira t-shirt in the laundry and wear it all the time ( 8th grade all over again). |

this was the backing theme movie to my high school life, I seriously watched this almost 4 times a week for almost a year, completely fucking awe inspiring, I know EVERYTHING in this movie by heart, oh, and the new english dub is fucking horrid |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Okay, nobody explain. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I love the old dubbing. Nothing can quite match those screams: "Kaaaneeedaaaa!" "Tetsuuoooooooo!" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Haha, that's one of the things I remember vividly. Tetsuooo KanadaaaAAAAAAA |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
or the commander in the freeze chamber thingy yelling "DO IT NOOOOWWWWWWWWW!" and the ghey ghey ghey "it's akira" by the retard green kids at the stadium :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i was really unhappy with the new dub on the akira dvd i got, whenever i watch it i put in my old vhs copy, the dub is way better. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yep.. . I agree with you and Refund.. . there was allmost no reason whatsoever for that new overdub.. . the first was cool.. . I quite liked watching it in japanese with subtitles for the first time.. . a few other things made a bit more sense that way. .. yes its a work of art.. . a master piece and appart from Mamoru Oshii's Ghost in the Shell movie/s nothing else has come close as far as Im concerned. .. Steam Boy will be cool though.. . Katsuhiro has a way of making things extremmely epic.. . even his Manga were extremmely cinematic. .. |
||||||||
|

|
|
Katsuhiro Otomo's next film .. it will be on screen in july.17 .. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
someone explain the ending of Akira for me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well if you understand all the middle the ending should make sense. .. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, this film is in my top ten. some people may have to watch it two or three times to understand it, but that's mainly because the film condensed a long thick series of manga into a three-hour film, which is a trying task any way you slice it. lots of great imagery, a great storyline, and lots of conflicts and sub-conflicts. you actually see a political, scientific, everyday-man and religious view of the events taking place, making the perspective and atmosphere much broader than most anime. "TETSUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" "KANEDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!" |
||||||||

cmon guys, stop being so coy i THINK i understand it (see my earlier posts), but I want other people to talk about what they think happened at the end, so I can cross-check. |

Has anyone here seen FLCL? I'm sure you'd love it. I'm making Giginger download it from me on SoulSeek because it's awesome. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I just bought the first volume the other day. I like it. Gainax does good stuff. Ever seen The Wings of Honneamise? Akira is good. I have the old version and the new one. I cannot stand the new dubbing, so I usually watch it in japanese. The restoration is nice. The soundtrack is also very good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I liked the gruesomeness of it, like Ophecks said, the image of the girl popping will stick with me. I also really liked the part in the hospital when tetsuo sees that giant bear bleeding milk...the musics great too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've read flcl, haven't seen it yet.... i'm all about books, people. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

|

||||||||
|
|
