I have watched "Baymax" (Original title: Big Hero 6), directed by Don Hall and Chris Williams.
The original work depicted a superhero team in Japan, so there is much love in it towards Japanese pop culture. The protagonist Hiro and his elder brother Tadashi both sport Japanese hairstyles and fashion. The face of the expressionless Baymax is also modeled after a Japanese suzu bell.
However, with robots, universities, family, revenge, friendship, action, thrill, fantasy… The grandeur of the organization and the intertwining plot is exactly one would expect of a movie that even has adults impressed. There is no way that Japan can create this now.
The story unfolds in San Fransokyo. While the real San Francisco pops up in a bird's eye view of the city, once you go down to the streets, you will notice an air of Shimbashi and Shinjuku.
A team consisting of 5 rangers and "Baymax", a memento of Hiro's elder brother. This team formation is similar to that of "Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger". The scene where Baymax sacrifices his own life to save Hiro is reminiscent of the final episode of "Giant Robo".
Putting these interesting analyses aside, the thing that kept me hooked in the movie theater was that the movie was completely in line with my work.
Tadashi is involved with robot research and development at the university, whereas Hiro is hoping to enter it. The microbot villains are opposed by cyborg technology. From research and development and the cultivation of talent to the creation of businesses. Our Takeshiba "CiP" is a project that aims to fulfill just that.
The environment for robot development that appeared in the movie seems to have been created in reference to places such as MIT, Harvard, and CMU. The university campus is a fusion of Stanford University and Japanese architectural styles. I watched as I thought, "Wouldn't it be nice if I could make such an environment?"
Hiro and his friends made enhancements to their bodies with mechanical armor. A nerdy university student equips a machine and gains exceptional power to run about the land, air, and sea. This is indeed the dream of making "superhuman sports" a reality. We, the Superhuman Sports Committee, will have mad scientists crossing swords with each other in the development of superhuman sports.
Let us make the world of Big Hero 6 a reality in Tokyo. That is what the movie made me think.
