I love this movie for a simple reason.
It critique's bad parenting.
These kids aren't suppose to do these things.
They are suppose to go to school and have friends, not worry about food nor money.
Akira practically doesn't and never will have a childhood EVER.
His mother basically underminds her bad parenting and when akira calls her selfish, its "unwarranted" in her eyes somehow.
In my eyes, parents, loving or hating can sometimes, allot of the times or even always neglect what their kid is saying..because they are in fact just a kid.
Adults think they've all got it figured it out when they in fact don't.
Adults can still learn.
Their definitly more wise then kids and mature(most of the time) but they still fall to this one thing.
In the second hour akira's mother flies off and dissapears from the film.
The films themes are tragic and bleak but its not presented sad even tho it is.
