The world view is very well shaped, the story is really unfinished

I just finished watching Ghost in the Shell, and I bought the tickets for my widow sister. To evaluate this comic book movie in two parts, it can be said that it has created an extremely perfect Cyberpunk world, which looks more like a fusion of the two classic movies "The Fifth Element" and "Blade Runner". The effect is worth the money. You must know that the "Matrix" series that was popular all over the country was born out of the cyberpunk style driven by the 95 version of Ghost in the Shell. In the past two years, a bad reputation "Assassination Game" was born. " is also a representative work of Cyberpunk. It can be seen that Ghost in the Shell has once again set off the revival of cyberpunk in Hollywood; let's talk about the storyline, the live-action version is really a little thin, and the pursuit of the past and the pursuit of truth are quite a movie theme excavation. It’s too perfunctory. What the original work wants to explore should be the soul. The soul carries individual consciousness, including past memories, current values, and future desires. But one day, you find that your soul has been transferred to another body. On the Internet, all your memories can be downloaded or even tampered with, and you can gain immortality if you condone it, but is that you still the original you? So in general, this movie has the elements that a commercial movie should have, but the content must not satisfy the audience of the original work. However, I am very satisfied hahaha!

Ghost in the Shell quotes

  • Batou: [Batou just got new eyes] Say something nice.

    Major: You chose those?

    Batou: They're tactical.

  • Major: Tell me who you are.

    Kuze: I am that which you seek to destroy. In this life, my name is Kuze.

    Major: What are you doing to me?

    Kuze: I have connected you to a network of my own creation. When I am finished in this world, my ghost can survive there and regenerate.

    Major: What do you want from me?

    Kuze: I became fascinated with you, reading your code while you were inside that geisha. Like nothing I had felt before and yet so... familiar. We are the same.

    Major: We are not the same. You kill innocent people.

    Kuze: "Innocent", is that what you call them? I am as they made me.

    Major: Who made you?

    Kuze: What have they told you? That you were the first? The first cerebral salvage? You were born of lessons took from my failure.

    Major: What are you talking about?

    Kuze: I was conscious while they dismembered my body and discarded me like garbage. I was lying on a table, listening to doctors talk about how my mind had not meshed with the shell that they had built, how Project 2571 had failed, and they had to move on to you.

    [removes a piece of Major's face]

    Kuze: What a beauty you are. They have improved us so much since they made me. They thought we would be a part of their evolution, but they have created us to evolve alone... beyond them.

    Major: "Evolution", that's what you call killing everyone who made you?

    Kuze: You're not listening to me.

    Major: You're a murderer.

    Kuze: They tried to kill me first. It is self-defense; defense of self! More will die until they tell me what they took!
