I think that it is trying to show how relationships can develop through the internet, not just segregation. At first our young internet martial arts champion, Kauzma, is separated from his family, completely focused on his never-ending quest to be the best at his sport. By the end of the movie, he is completely integrated with his family.<br /><br />Mind you, the interests of the "real" world and the interests of the internet world often collide in this movie. But the internet world isn't to be discounted or rejected as insignificant. While a rotary dial phone can be as powerful as a supercomputer, as in one scene in the film, at the same time the "games" on the internet can save the world.<br /><br />Relationships can be built on the internet, just as in reality. I think Summer Wars can help all generations see that all of these levels of reality can work together.Steve Kimeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14187112520269562190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-318433114559203724.post-88933852195717784142011-03-04T22:53:05.447-08:002011-03-04T22:53:05.447-08:00Newsflash: Mercy has told me that Summer Wars is n...Newsflash: Mercy has told me that Summer Wars is now her favorite film of all time! Mercy is a young movie buff in her own right, and so this is no casual statement...Steve Kimeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14187112520269562190noreply@blogger.com
