{{ | I don't know how many here have actually been to Japan, but one of the first things you notice is the nearly-netlike criss-crossing of telephone and electrical wires above urban streets. {{br}} | ||
Anno's ''mise en scène'' and composition often dwells on the linear and technical structures that tend to define modern Japan. The train tracks in "Shiki-Jitsu", for instance. Additionally, note the traffic light metaphor in several episodes of "His and Her Circumstances". In fact, during one episode of this same series, there is a monologue about isolation and loneliness which includes a quick cut to a telephone pole with all its outgoing wires severed. Observe again in episode #01 of "Evangelion" [[FGC:Episode 01 Scene 01#cut_01_028|(C-028)]]; the whipping wires respond to the geographic ''tremula'' that announces Sachiel's arrival to Shinji. {{br}} | |||
Gundampilotspaz made keen and insightful remarks during the episode #01 [[FGC:Episode 01 Scene 01#cut_01_023|(C-023)]] commentary on telephone poles being used as a sign of civilisation — something that degrades over the course of the series. Indeed I would guess that Anno's general strategy is the use of these slightly antiquated but everpresent symbols of Japan's industrialisation to portray character state. {{br}} | |||
We should come up with a snappy title for this sensibility. 'Wire-punk'? 'Cable-punk'? | |||
