"Domu" motif woven into the story
The word innocent comes from the Latin word "innocere". From the combination of "nocent," which means "to hurt," and "in," which negates it, "not hurt" = "harmless." Since then, it has been used to mean "innocence," "innocence," and "innocence."
However, in reality, innocent beings hurt people because of their innocence and innocence. This is especially true when it comes to children whose social and ethical foundations have not been nurtured. The rich sensibility of being honestly moved by beautiful things and the violent nature of attacking others indiscriminately coexist in an undifferentiated state. It is not uncommon for children to commit acts of cruelty towards insects and small animals. It is an extension of play.
Katsuhiro Otomo's science fiction manga `` Domu '', which I read when I was a teenager, was exactly such a work. Suspicious death incidents occur one after another in a mammoth housing complex. The culprit was Mr. Chow, an old man but a child at heart. He controlled powerful supernatural powers and caused the deaths of innocent people one after another with a childlike sense of mischief. Eventually, the family of Etsuko, a girl with psychic powers, moves into the housing complex. Etsuko, who learns Mr. Chou's true identity, decides that she cannot leave him alone like this and challenges him to fight alone.
Innovative screen composition and detailed landscape depictions. Katsuhiro Otomo has shown the spectacular psychic wars between innocent children with overwhelming artistic ability. This work, which began serialization in magazines in 1980, eventually became a world standard comic with fans all over the world. In the 1990s, David Lynch reportedly started making a movie version of Domu . ?).
