tangent.

just saw Akira. now i sorta wish i hadnt. there's so much rubble. rubble and water/smoke. everywhere. every scene has some rock or concrete breaking and moving. its a nightmare. great subtleties in the acting/animation, too. and the music worked so well. i want to see the dubbed version as well, just to see what different meanings can be assigned to the lines, but i probably won't have time for a few weeks. i hopefully wont have time. to have time. in a pocket. full of posies. ashes ashes we'll all die from the black plague...

got to thinking about gnosticism in church. found that a lot of books and movies ive liked were connected to gnostic ideas. Alan Moore's works, HP Lovecraft has some gnostic-type deities, FullMetal Alchemist, AEon Flux. but there's also the consideration that some themes are pretty broad, so many movies/books may allude to the themes.
