  1. In Akira (1988), Masaru is physically bound yet mentally sovereign. In Kitano's Dolls (2002), the disabled characters carry a similar stillness — those who care for them seem to need them more.

    Both feel rooted in a Japanese philosophy of acceptance: the body as limit, the spirit as free.

    Did Kitano draw from Otomo? Or do they simply share the same cultural well?
