The so-called sci-fi films can actually be divided into many kinds. In a narrow sense, they can be divided into sci-fi cool films and sci-fi philosophy, and this "Ghost in the Shell" I will classify it between the two. People pursue technology, but there is such a contradiction between technology and human nature. In fact, the original comic itself is a deep science fiction story. It is a future world full of technology, and prosthetics are prevalent (a combination of human body and machine technology), and Scarlett Johansson's major in the live-action film is the Prosthetic Man. Although the film is only presented in less than two hours, it is not difficult to see that the concept it wants to convey is the contradiction between technology and human nature. Many movies depict the future world. Although the presentation methods of each movie are different, almost all of them are built in an era where technology is everywhere, and the topic of robots is endless. For example, Alicia Vikander's "Artificial Consciousness" (Ex Machina) discusses the "human nature" of robots. Can a robot really have feelings like a human? Is it really as trustworthy as a human being? As a result, the self-righteous humans were turned against the army. Robots are always robots. Even if they have emotions, they are fake. After all, they are not flesh and blood. I like the irony of the movie. Going back to "Ghost in the Shell", it is about the combination of robots and humans, retaining the human brain consciousness, but the body is made of machines, and the horror is that under this technology, its memory can be Indoctrinated or deleted, the major played by Scarlett is a person whose memory has been reintroduced. The technology of "prosthetics" is not safe and not mature. In the film, it is mentioned that the number of individuals who failed the experiment was nearly 100, and the major was one of the few successful cases. Relying on this technology to make it easier to fight crime, although the starting point is good, but to put it bluntly all this is always experimental, and it is even more immoral to delete the original amnestics. Judging from the English title Ghost in the Shell, It's not so much a soul shell, it's better to say it's a soul puppet. In other words, without memory, what's the difference between a robot? It's just a puppet manipulated by others. "Everyone's advantage is their uniqueness." There is such a sentence in the first half of the movie, but it is very contradictory that the major at that time had no uniqueness at all. At that time, she did not know that what she had was a false memory, maybe it was With such remarks, the major gradually began to dig out the truth of himself; In the end, when the major successfully retrieved her own memory, she said a sentence: "Define yourself with actions, don't be bound by memories." So she retrieved her name, Motoko Kusanagi, and knew who she used to be, The story of what she went through and her reason for being. Now she wants to live out a new self through action, no longer bound by memories, she is still the major who fights crime, the only difference is that she has her own uniqueness, and this soul drive finally has Correct unpacking.
