I believe you (scineram) missed the point of the original post (or didn't read it
), which was that Movie 6 is the most accessible movie as a result of it not being based on the normal formula. I'm not at odd's with Nyarl's (accurate) assessment (as to why people disliked it), but I am at odds with "most people" that would dislike this movie on those grounds--simply because a fair share of them liked movies 10-11 and 13 because they got more fan service from them. No matter how un-Conan this movie may seem, I would take another ten of these rather than what we've gotten lately out of the same old formula.
However, I didn't find the movie to be exceedingly philosophic or instructive.
It was effective in its assessment of the distress and burden that Japanese youths face as they're pressured to their expected statuses from the earliest of ages. It's far from perfect as I've said on other occasions, but as far as exploring that social disconnect, it was much more effective than could be expected of an annual sequel to a franchise that began a steady decline after this installment.
I think that this information is important, it makes me look at movie 6 from a different perspective, now I appreciate the work at least, although I still do not like the movie
.
However, not only in Japan kids with extra ordinary abilities will be put in a pressured atmosphere, filled with great expectations, in other countries too, I think, we may find this.
Every time I want to give up on DC, it manages to bring me back, it brings me back feelings I know that I will never ever feel or live again.
