Remains of a lost civilization He's also called "Post-Apocalyptic Shojo Adventures." A kind of series of twenty-five-minute series, live events in each of which are even smaller, about two girls who ride themselves and ride a half-track motorcycle Kettenkrad HK 101 through the desert post-apocalyptic world of the Earth, dilapidated multi-level cities built by a more advanced human civilization than the one from which the girls came. At the same time, on the streets of a dying civilization in the evenings lights up, factories operate automatically, there are electric trains for no one.
Actions and events in each of the series are few, the heroines extremely meditatively go (go) their way in an incomprehensible direction with an incomprehensible goal from nowhere to nowhere, and the empty dead world looks at it indifferently. This contrast between the two girls and the surrounding emptiness of a huge, indifferent, but powerful in its once powerful power of the world, reality has a charming effect, every action of the heroines acquires some existential meaning, and the image of two fragile creatures on a powerful motorcycle, wandering in an empty world outside time and space, sometimes just pierces with its metaphorical nature and directly forces to recall biblical motives.
The fragility of the heroines at first seems simply frightening, they begin to seem a symbolic display of the ephemerality of life before the crushing moloch of decay and destruction, which tries indifferently to crush everything and everything. And yet, when you see the girls, despite all the apocalypse surrounding them, continue to wonder, rejoice, sadden and even dance, after a while you realize that life will still break through any thickness of the concrete of lifelessness again and again, despite its apparent weakness. I confess that this deeply humanistic message of the authors pleased me.
The heroines are painted nicely, with all the minimalism, their characters and differences of the heroines as personalities are very well shown; the power of the post-apocalyptic dead and destroyed world is impressive, the atmosphere of what is happening is fascinating.
At the same time, two diametrically different heroines act as a reflection of two sides of humanity: one strong and powerfully vital, but limitedly stupid, prone to thoughtless destruction, while insanely and thoughtlessly brave and prone to experiments, as the personification of biological force; and the second is thoughtful and purposeful, striving for knowledge of the surrounding world, a purely intellectual introvert, who, at the same time, is too cautious and trying to be safe for security reasons. In fact, it is the combination of these two such different sides - which complement and develop each other - that make up the unity and strength of man.
In general, we can safely say that behind the external simplicity of what is happening on the screen, the film itself is very deep, symbolic, metaphorical and quite philosophical. For lovers of powerful plot twists and colorful performance, the series is unlikely to go - it is about another, but all the others it should swing.
