MOVIES

Today I have to write about a movie or series that I coud recommend my classmates and teacher, so I choose a movie that it's considered by critics to be one of the greatest animated and science fiction films of all time: Akira.

Akira is a japanese animated film, directed by Katsuhiro Otomo. It's based on Otomo's manga of the same name. The movie was released on July, 1988. 

Akira is categorized as post-apocalyptic cyberpunk movie, with a guy who acquires superpowers and his friend that wants to help him, both of them part of a biker gang, all happens in a pos-apocalyptic city named Neo-Tokyo. There's a lot of action and strange things happening.

It's not my favorite movie, but it's a movie that you should see (Akira isn't called a cult movie for nothing), specially if you like the kind of films that leaves you a bittersweet feeling. I like it because of this kind of feeling and the quality of the animation is awesome. 

Akira Akira has been cited as a major influence on movies like Matrix, Kill Bill, Strange Things, Ghost in the Shell and so much more, or video games like Metar Gear Solid.
