Has anyone here seen "Kakurenbo?" Holy fuck, that is a freaky movie. It takes place in a district(?) identical to the Walled City, but the community is entirely independent and... well... watch it. But keep the lights on.

The city was the definition of freedom, aside from the short period of Triad rule over the city it was a peaceful and happy place to live for it's residents, sure it smelled like shit, needed some cleaning, and probably didn't have cable, but the people were happy and free from the chains of an over bearing government that just wanted control over the people.

Keep in mind those cradles were fucking huge, you really couldn't get a sense of the scale from the 2 possible missions that took place on or around them, think 4 or 5 New York's worth of space.
