THE WIND OF AMNESIA
A film review by Jon Lawrence
Copyright 1996 Jon Lawrence
THE WIND OF AMNESIA is a Japanaimation. It about in the year 1999, a wind swept across the world erasing every one's memory, hense Amnesia. Every one forgot every thing, the could not even remeber how to speak even. The mains story is about this guy, Wataru (not is real name, he forgot that one) who learns everything again,. He was helped by Johnny, a kiddy with cybernetic brain that the wind did not affect. After John died, Wataru starts his quest in to rebuild humanity. They first thing he come along is a Guardian Robot, which he piss's off, so for the rest of the movie, the robto whats Wataru's head. Then he means Sophia, a woman who can talk, but will not tell Wataru why. Sophia need to get to new york. So the rest of the movie is about these 2 making it across american, meeting other people, and doing what they can to help. In the end, the reasons for the following are resolved- * Why Sophia can speak when ever you else can't. * Why the wind happened? * Who cause the wind? * The guardian robot, who keeps on repairing itself, finally get destroyed.
THE WIND OF AMNESIA reminded me of Steven King's The STand becuace the place was a waiste land, but still alot of civalisation was still standing, unlike in those after the bomb moives. I was very obvious that the orginal story was a lot longer (Like some other japanimations) because it took most of the film to get From L.A. to Los Vegas, and after that, every thing most very quickly.
