ENTERTAINMENT PRODUCTS TO GET THE INSPIRATION
I would like to introduce my favorite list of movies, games, and books that inspire me a lot in my personal creativity. I hope you love this, and please share your favorites too!
AKIRA
In Neo-Tokyo of 2019, post-WWIII, old friends Kaneda and Tetsuo are members of a violent motorcycle gang. During a fight with a rival gang, a strange, small boy with a wrinkled face enters the fray. Tetsuo is hospitalized, where a colonel and a doctor discover that Tetsuo has remarkable powers, recalling a mysterious entity known as AKIRA, that has lain dormant for 30 years. As the main characters navigate a complex plot filled with powerful beings, military, activists, and scientists, Tetsuo’s powers grow stronger. Everything builds to an explosive, nightmarish showdown in which the future of the world hangs.
DEVILMAN CRYBABY
Devilman Crybaby was briefly a good anime, brought down by a saddening ending. It reminded me of how many people think that bitter fatalism counts as sage wisdom; that intelligent people make themselves known by stroking their self-impressed disappointment. Smart people may have a hard time staying happy in a sick, flailing world, but I will not waste my time listening to them add more bile to the rotten mound. One might enjoy Devilman Crybaby’s lurid trashiness on a superficial level. They just have to ignore how much the show hates them for indulging the sex and violence.
CYBER PUNK 2077
The Cyberpunk genre is characterized by its focus on the intersection of high-tech and low-life. It typically features a dark and gritty urban setting, where society has broken down, and corporations have taken over. Characters in Cyberpunk stories often have cybernetic implants, and the line between human and machine is blurred.
The inspiration for Cyberpunk 2077 comes from a variety of sources, including the works of authors such as William Gibson and Philip K. Dick, as well as movies such as Blade Runner and The Matrix. The game’s developers also drew inspiration from real-world events such as the rise of megacorporations and the increasing dependence on technology in our daily lives.
sin city
Sin City was a revolutionary neo-noir film, almost entirely shot on green screen using digital cameras. The director and cinematographer Robert Rodríguez worked very closely with Frank Miller, the writer and artist of the graphic novels the film is based on, to emulate the unique visual style of the illustrations and translate them to film. Miller’s artwork was heavily inspired by film noir. The illustrations use shadows, silhouettes and stark backgrounds in high contrast black and white. The film tried to stick to this distinctive visual style for the adaptation. The narratives also draw on film noir traits, such as; anti-heroes, voice-over narration, femme fatales and corrupt police and politicians.
SAINTS ROW III
If GTA: San Andreas, Just Cause and Bootsie Collins had a retarded albino child, his name would be Saints Row: The Third. The game doesn’t take itself seriously and it makes it pretty clear from the get-go. It pokes fun at itself, other games, movies and pop culture as a whole.
NARUTO
The manga series Naruto debuted in the weekly Shōnen Jump magazine in 1998. An animated television show aired in 2002 to great success, and to date the series has sold more than 250 million volumes in print globally, making it a beloved presence around the world.
The historical image of ninja is of stoic practitioners of spycraft who dwell in the shadows or blend in among the populace to carry out secret missions. But the ninja of Naruto are flashy performers. However, in the words of Jiraiya, one of Naruto’s instructors:
“A ninja is someone who never gives up.”
So perhaps Naruto exemplifies the stoic ninja archetype after all.
DRAGON BALL Z
Many anime and manga have become evergreen classics, but Akira Toriyama’s original DBZ series has entertained audiences for four decades and is still as strong as ever. Toriyama’s Dragon BallDragon Ball ZDragon Ball Super
SODUA VN FAIRY TALE
Honoring love and compassion between people in life. – The spirit of condemning and criticizing feudal society, especially the landlord class. – Reflecting people’s belief in social justice and the view that ‘Good people are rewarded with good things, evil is punished with evil’.
SPIDER MAN MARVEL
Spider-Man is not only a superhero, but also an ideal role model for the younger generation to follow. Valuable lessons from him help children practice moral qualities, foster courage, love and strive for good values in life.
BATMAN DC
The name Batman is certainly no stranger to comic book fans. Since his first appearance in 1939, Batman has become a famous cultural icon, taking the comic book industry by storm and helping to shape the image of superheroes in general.
gta series
It can be seen that GTA V brings a creative and rich open world experience, which makes the difference of this series. Rockstar Games has excellently explored every aspect of an open world, creating a large and lively playground. When entering GTA V, players will feel amazing freedom in exploring and interacting with the game world.
