'Akira' Review: A Still-Relevant Take on the Destructive Power of Science
It's hard to watch a movie such as Akira decades after it completely revolutionized Japan’s cultural landscape. Katsuhiro Otomo’s magnum opus is still considered one of the best animated movies of all time, which sets expectations high for newcomers who never got to see it.
It’s funny to think Akira painted the future through pessimistic lenses, and yet the erosion of social structures Otomo visualized in the 1980s is not too distant from what we witness in the West nowadays. It's not a coincidence, then, that the themes of Akira still feel relevant.
‘Akira’ Remains a Technical Wonder Contrary to other art forms, such as painting or sculpture, there’s something ethereal in cinema. Filmmaking technology evolves so fast that, in just a few years, we can sense how technical limitations drag a movie down. It’s no wonder we often discuss old movies but rarely put into question how a particular literary work has aged.
