Akira is about not being able to escape the system

@Laurie111981

4 жыл бұрын

@@DanielDaniel-xt3jh Not at all. It's about destroying the system. Tetsuo managed to destroy Neo Tokyo in the manga (not in the anime, though it's implied) and became the emperor of this new world, the only form of government and the ultimate authority. But it made everything worse for everybody because he never wanted a better world or justice for all in the first place. He only wanted the power to do whatever he wanted in impunity. And he got just that. And he killed all these people, his friends, the scientists who held him, the military, the politicians, the teachers, the other gangs he was fighting back when he was a biker. Everybody. And if anything, Akira is about power and what it does to the people who yield it. In the case of Tetsuo, it changed not only his personality but also his appearance. It severed whatever still tied him to humanity. He no longer looked human and became unable to relate to his peers. It took him from young thug to psychopath and in the end, to monster. But he DID manage to escape the system and the society he hated. It's just that A LOT of people had to die for that to happen (Freedom never comes cheap). It's his own power he couldn't escape.

Drug it. Disassociative disorder? Drug it. Depressed? Drug it. Ask too many questions? Drug it. Psychic abilities? Drug it. That's one of the themes of the movie, control.

Allow me to explain, a depressed person will be prescribed medication during this time they’re encouraged to try to partake in hobbies, go out more, and interact socially. In order to elevate their depression. Their diet is also taken into consideration, also their environment, and who they interact with. The medication is suppose to serve as a help to their depression until they can cope with it. With a better diet, healthy hobbies and supportive people. Their medication is slowly lowered. Until the person is able to handle their depression.

So was Akira already his own universe some where else? Then the kids used his organ samples to summon his Consciousness to come back to the movie universe, to help contain Tetsuo’s transformation into a universe of his own and show him how to do it? Basically, the movie universe is A, Akira’s universe is B and Tetuso has now become Universe C. separate gods in there created places?

I would say the last bit it's what made more "sense" if you think about it, anything in our reality relies in the belif of what's right and wrong, good or evil, and you can not have one with out the other (at least in theory), so assuming akira is the force for good it needed to exist first to do what good does, create stuff, and in an opositive reaction, evil came to exist trough Tetsuo, and merged in the new universe to balance the equation and complete the sense of existence of all things in that new universe giving the the Father of good and the counterbalance the father of evil. But that's just my philosophical bullshit. It could be what the author tried to send as a message of his own set of belifs. XD

akira was still in a physical form, just chopped up. sealed and dormant. tetsuo was the only one strong enough to wake him up when he entered his presence. I think tetsuo losing control was his powers reacting to the presence of akria. once the container and seals were broken, akira was able to manifest himself again, like Dr Manhattan. since the 3 kids were not as strong as akria and tetsuo, I believe akira and tetsuo made a universe and all 5 of them exist there.

Watching this on LSD is a must

Great explanation. I now realize that there were so many parts of the manga and the anime that I didn't understand despite reading and watching it countless times... I never associated that orb of light with the big bang and the creation of a new universe. When at the end they say "it's already begun", I thought it meant more espers like Kay would appear. And when Kyoko says " big people like you shouldn't have that power" and talks about amoeba (through Kay)... I always thought that meant the akira abilities were due to a microbial infection. But she meant that great powers to flawed individuals only enhance their ability to do what they were already doing: evil. It doesn't improve them. It just multiplies their respective propensity for good or evil. And apparently the fact that Tetsuo's psychic pattern is the exact opposite of Akira's alludes to their respective natures. Japanese mangas can be so deep and reflective sometimes... It's amazing. You'd never find that in western comics.

1:01 low key bars

I always thought Tetsuo overused his power and it turned on him. He went against the flow of the universe too much and it finally overwhelmed him. He was he was then rescued by Akira and placed in a different universe where he wasn't affected anymore by the causality of his actions in our universe.

Akira and tetsuo pretty much acted as suns. A sun is ultimate energy. When they got so much power they exploded like a star. They went supernova and created a black hole. This whole thing is just things we already know or believe in someway percieved in someones own perspective.

I learned that the reason Tetsuo even had psychic powers in the first place was because his grandfather was apart of the first Akira plan, and the powers skipped a generation.

I remember watching this with my brother as a kid. It stood out in my mind like some kind of myth. Ever since becoming an adult I've been trying to remember what I watched as a kid. Now I know, it was Akira I watched all those years ago. Quite serendipitous to have it randomly pop into my KZread suggested videos. Makes me wonder if the SNES game that stands out in my mind will resurface in my life in the same way Akira did. Thank you for this video. It concluded a 15 year long quest.

This is by far the most complete explanation I could find online. Thank you.

this is a great video. i sat down and watched it all the way through, and didn't even realize that it was over until it was over. amazing analysis, you genuinely care and understand this behemoth of a story.

Masterpiece of animation. Great analysis.

This is the best explanation and analysis of the film on youtube.

Holy hell, was really getting in my feels with how deep, and creative this film is. So glad i took time to see the explanation.

If a movie is made where it can REALLY make a person think about what it meant, then you have created a masterpiece. That is what this movie is. Not only visually and groundbreaking but story-wise. I loved is movie from the first time that I saw it. And it still blows me away every time I see it years later as an adult.

I literally CANNOT believe that the very first words out of your mouth in this video are the actual content of the video, and aren’t some sort of contrived introduction or “welcome back everybody so today we’ll be talking about one of my favorite movies of all time and bear in mind that it’s really blah blah blah” monologue. That sort of intro thing always happens in KZread video essays like this-so well done! Thank you very much for this editing decision. It makes me instantly want to watch your video more, because I don’t have to wait for it to start.

who comes here after the memes "Leave me alooone ,, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

This movie is a masterpiece. It is not hard to understand it if you are a little awake during it. It is great to watch these kind of videos and others to further understand all the meaning behind each scene, dialogue and even music. I love this movie. I will read the mangas someday.

This video is amazing I just finished akira and loved every second I thought I understood the ending but you just made it so much better, keep up the good work

After 40+ years, I've finally come to understand Akira... I think

Finally got to watch the movie recently, and was left with a lot of questions. Really appreciate your video, cause it helps me wrap my brain round what was being proposed by the film. Thank you.

That last bit at the end regarding Akira and Tetsuo's pocket-verses was great, I had always pondered what the explanation could be but that was an excellent summation.

This is the epicist anime movie i have ever seen in my entire life

Lol still confused... these writers must’ve been coked outta their minds creating this .

There's an interview of the director of this movie (who is also the author of akira manga) and is the most normal guy ever lol, also very smart.

One of the inspirations of this video was due to an essay I had to write in college. My film studies professor was supportive and enjoyed me introducing him to the film! It means more than you know that I got to help you with your essay!

Spook じめじめミーム it helped so much thank you again. What kind of paper did you write ? And if it was an essay what was your thesis statement?

This is some quality content, man. Keep it up!

This is amazing, i should definitely re-watch akira, I was way too young to grasp all of this when I initially watched it

I just saw this movie today.

Excellent analysis! This was very clarifying to me as someone who just watched Akira for the first time.

Great video! Really enjoyed understanding that ending, but what breaks my heart the most is how kaneda doesn’t think twice to go save tetsou, even after all he has done :(

Watched this a few times. Great video! Thanks! Do more of these videos.

Akira Is one of those movies that are confusing but the way its presented Is so unique and intriguing you cant help but love it

The guy that made the movie and manga was a genius. He thought about concepts that resemble a lot what Stephen Hawking seemed to have thought about black holes that could be their own big bang to the eyes of eventual observers somewhere in the future of this big bang.

leave me alone!

Thanks, It really means a lot! I've been meaning to start a series, but I just can't find the time quite yet!

just finished watching a fun slime tutorial i now suddenly feel the need to watch this

One of the prevalent thoughts I had during the movie was that everyone were always antagonizing eachother and so many of the disasters that happened during the plot would probably not have happened if they just communicated. Like if the government/scientists just explained to Tetsuo that he contained dangerous powers and could end up dying and killing a lot of people maybe he would have collaborating. Even after the chaos started they could maybe have talked him down instead of shooting a bunch of weapons pointlessly at him. If Tetsuo had been honest about how being mocked or bullied affected him then maybe their friendship wouldn't have rifted. The kids keep refusing to elaborate themselves and people keep thinking they're bad guys because of it. Hell if they told the people the truth about Akira/the "bomb" maybe the war wouldn't even have happened. Plus, the politicians being exposed as liars and manipulators in the end leads me to believe there's a message in the movie about trying to understand eachother and just being honest.

Incredible video Man! Helped me a lot!

I was born in 1988 and watch this film in 2019 - what a terrifying coincidence

Always my favorite!

absolutely wonderful work. Thank you

I've watched this movie so many times and loved it without really being 100 percent behind the story. But your explanation is very good

Underrated channel and video!

i think this sums up what i saw, but i did get vibes of becoming pure energy through rebirth which spawns big bang kind of sense as tetsuo looked like a giant god fetus like creature before he was swallowed by the light that was akira. and i think that the estimation that akira took tetsuo away to his dimension or universe to more or less save him from himself or maybe recruit him was what happened in the end, i'm not sure. the movie had some stellar animation however i feel like it was a pretty rough movie to watch as it was really hard to follow plot points and it jumped from different parts of the cast giving away very little information except the visuals and it's like you had to just guess a lot of the plot or what they were trying to convey through the entire movie by context clues. it was nice to look at but i felt no emotional connection to it, but it was pretty interesting because the plot points seemed pretty cool and i had to invest myself into it to understand it.
