okay they're not technically red and blue but like. they are. do you understand that they kinda are. to me
#each a side of a capsule. north and south on a magnet. cold and hot. blood in shark infested waters. red spray paint washed away by rain#ik tetsuo doesn't even really wear blue but he does in spirit okay. he's very blue#he tried to be red but he couldn't he was still just dripping with blue to me if i could splash any color on him it'd be blue#idk maybe im just crazy but wtv#red is just so much of akira 1988 it takes up the whole movie it's everywhere#with all the gore and body horror people are constantly bleeding. kei and kaneda wear it#kaneda wearing his entirely red fit that goes unfairly hard and his awesome red bike. the explosions lighting everything up#even akira himself is reddish. it probably represents power which explains why tetsuo is chasing it like a starving dog#tetsuo being built for cool colors but wanting nothing more than to get his hands on all that red. taking that bike. his makeshift cape#all that red can't cover up what you always will be. you're a blue child and you can't be red.#draping red around your shoulders staining yourself with the blood of your victims only makes you purple like mottled skin and eye bags#you spent your childhood wiping blue from your eyes but you couldn't rub it away. until the very end you were blue#okay im done being crazy now#akira 1988#tetsuo shima#kaneda shotaro#qeued so i won't have to look at this again until it's too late<3
