    The composition is so beautiful! From the new city to the old city, from the air to the land, and the pictures of Motoko fighting alone, the composition is all beautifully messed up. The confusion, melancholy and loneliness conveyed in the subtlety are even more blurred. The soundtrack is flawless! It's really...

    Yesterday I finally watched this famous Japanese manga. Its name should be literally translated as "Soul in the Shell", which is a philosophical film under the guise of science fiction. But because I just read Yuval Harari's "A Brief History of Today", I quite agree with one of the views: in science fiction literature with female artificial intelligence as the protagonist, it is not so much the concern of human beings about artificial intelligence as the concern of men. The fears of smart...

    As someone who has lived in Kowloon City for three years, I have a peculiar feeling when I see the cold and ambiguous street scenes in the film, which actually exist in my memory but after the alienation is like a dream. It strengthens the extremely textured emotions of the whole film: the paradoxical entanglement between existence and thinking is completed through...

    The fidelity is really high, all kinds of philosophical discussions about why life is life. The soundtrack is so perfect, the loneliness is...

    One point will be deducted after 10 years. The plot of the theatrical version is too incoherent. If you haven't watched the anime, you don't know what you're talking about, except for philosophical lines. After the cool aesthetics, the story line can be simply written on a banknote. Changing the script from a comic to a movie is not a matter of splicing the original book out of...

    It has been brushed three times, and it is still a masterpiece after a few years. Compared with the original Coyote, it is more detached, and the technology/shootout/fight/suspense is not too much investment, but adds a layer of thoughtful stare, especially the original soundtrack theme song of the streets, raindrops and crowds on the street. , the distant beings, what is existence, and where is the boundary? This makes the film more serious and solemn than the entertainment elements of...

    What a cool film, the attitude is cool, for example, there is no protagonist's persistence, the protagonist says that the fusion is gone, and the aesthetics are also very advanced. People always feel that it was produced in 1995, but cool and age have nothing to...

    Is it also possible that ghost is just a program? Can a program exist in place of ghost? Can memory be tampered with? After all, individuals rely on their survival and distinguish them from other characteristics as memory. If memory is just an implanted program, then what is the meaning of...

    The film mainly discusses two questions: 1. What is life? 2. What is body...

    What is cyberpunk?


    Cyberpunk-a combination of cybernetics and punk, is a branch of science fiction, usually depicting a highly technologically developed dystopian society. The first cyberpunk work I came into contact with was "The Matrix", but because of its strong commercial color, the genre of the work itself was...

Ghost in the Shell quotes

  • Major Motoko Kusanagi: If we all reacted the same way, we'd be predictable, and there's always more than one way to view a situation. What's true for the group is also true for the individual. It's simple: Overspecialize, and you breed in weakness. It's slow death.

  • Major Motoko Kusanagi: If a technological feat is possible, man will do it. Almost as if it's wired into the core of our being.
