RE: So I Finally Watched Akira and Yeah, I Get It Now

It’s about what happens when systems fail and people get lost inside the mess.
That. That is the biggest horror "ordinary" people face every single day. Customer service interactions. Stores not having stock, or sending the wrong things. At least, in the first world.
Or, a Crowdstrike issue making BSODs on Windows Operating systems, globally. The tighter and tighter systems get integrated, the more they will fail, and the harder, and more complicated those "times" will be.
Anarchy can bloom like a flower in those moments, but "systems" are just that.
I need to get my wife to watch this (and I need to rewatch it, too, as its been more than a decade since I've seen it) - to experience for myself how it stacks up today against technological process and my own development over time.
You know, @holoz0r? There is a Blue-Ray version of this film... I'm not sure if you got the diolay for it or even the blue-Ray disc but this anime films, ay least one time in our lifetime should be watching and contemplate with the finest visually tools there may be able...
Yes, compression artefacts, and lower dynamic range on streaming services really ruins some films. For anything that I thoroughly enjoy, I always get a 4K Blu-Ray with HDR if it is available. The bit rates and sound quality of the physical media is far greater than any streaming service.
I am a real stickler for quality when it comes to media!
Good! You do understand the importance of experiencing a good film, such as this one, with the top quality available. Thank you for stopping by, friend!
Not a problem! And yes, absolutely. One of my favourite films is The Matrix (they should have made sequels!) - and I've owned it on DVD, BluRay, and now 4K HDR (from the 35mm original film) - and recently, I got the chance to experience it again in a traditional movie cinema last year, when they did a screening from the original 35mm actual film!
It was wonderful.
Matrix and I believe, the Fifth Element were inspired by Akira. This anime film is beyond its plot. Is creative, pioneer and it shows what talent can create with support and cooperation
