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

  • Dr. Ouelet: Do any of the glitches mean something to you?

    Major: No. They don't.

    Dr. Ouelet: You've been inside the same shell as he has. That could have... very serious consequences. You were not authorized to Deep Dive the geisha.

    Major: You're disappointed.

    Dr. Ouelet: No, I'm worried. You're not invulnerable. I can repair your body, but I can't protect your mind.

    Major: Why not? You can see all my thoughts, so... you should be able to secure them.

    Dr. Ouelet: Try and understand your importance, Mira. You're what everyone will become one day.

    Major: You don't know how alone that makes me feel.

  • Major: The Harbor. My parents. The way they died. Did that happen?

    Dr. Ouelet: No. We gave you false memories. Cutter wanted to motivate you to fight terrorists. I didn't approve. It was cruel, but my work, it was important, and... you were born. You were so beautiful.

    Major: Nothing I have is real.
