Whether or not you've seen the episode this film is based on, Mobile Suit Gundam Cucuruz Doan's Island is a fantastic time that does so much right.
Every great war story looks beyond the action that comes with its violent battles. Whether examining former soldiers or the regular civilians affected by the strife, there are many angles that help add extra depth and weight to the conflict at hand.is a fine example of this, as it truly hammers in that these cool space mech battles aren’t as cool for the people that are just trying to get by.
series, which saw Amuro meet up with an ex-Zeon pilot and the found family he has amassed. It’s quite touching, especially in this remade film. The expanded runtime of the film allows for further exploration into the daily lives of the various children that Doan takes care of, which goes a long way in upping the stakes of the last battle. The kids play with each other, tease one another, do farm chores, and interact like kids do, making these sequences very heart-warming.
The story behind Doan taking in the war orphans is poignant in its delivery, turning an episode that once felt like a detour into a moving and surprisingly realistic portrayal of war. The parallel narrative of Amuro’s comrades trying to find and save him while Doan’s former comrades try to find and kill him also reinforces the differences between the two sides, all while Doan humanizes the Zeon perspective.
While most of the story is focused on Doan and his family, there’s still plenty of Mobile Suit action to break up the quieter and slower scenes that focus on the children and their daily lives. Early in the movie, we see Zakus plowing through GM suits, setting them up as a bigger threat rather than enemy fodder. Doan’s former squad is established as immensely talented, which makes their final battle with Doan a tense and exciting affair.
