Push

Introduction

In a convenient world where vending machines offer just about everything, the hero procures whatever he needs from machines on his journey to see the creator. He tries to make a replacement purchase of the earth. But the creator declines his request, saying simply that there is no such thing as a brand new earth. The simplicity of the story illustrates the depths of Tezuka Osamu's despair at earths degradation, forming the gist of this 4 minute work.

And also like Osu (1962), he reserves the surprise for the end, without forgetting the irony that characterizes him so much. The film opens with what appears to be a lifeless wasteland, with an army vehicle driven by the protagonist, who has all the earmarks of being a soldier or mercenary, soon occupying the screen. Both he and his uniform and vehicle are damaged, so it is likely that he was not long ago on the battlefield and…

Rate an 8 English Subtitled Genre:comedy Story A play off the old saying, be careful with your wish. Aside from having a poor introduction it is made clear what is what. Shortly after the goal is made clear. Then when it comes to the conclusion the result is the result. But that line at the end had me laughing the most. Art A good depiction given the plot.

As we progress further in life sure we still have problems but our life in general on daily progression is much easier. For example horse back riding before the creation of cars. Or type writer…
