Director, did you take the wrong script for "The Shell"?

Just finished watching Ghost in the Shell released today. I'm curious how the director made a girl who weighs more than 90 pounds feel 140 pounds. Scarlett doesn't have the beauty of an oriental person when she plays Suzi.
In fact, the live-action version and the animated version tell two completely different stories, borrowing elements from the original version, but it is a pity that the carcass of the original version was replaced by one-piece long johns. I endured it without cutting it (because China also invested in this film), and the philosophical thinking of the self and existence was completely erased, and replaced with a story about the inexplicable persecution of street hooligans by the American-style big corporate trust. Fortunately, the structure of the story is complete and easier to understand. The speed of the overall movie is as tepid as "Super Body", with only small climaxes and no big climaxes (probably because I am used to seeing the Women's Federation and Transformers and don't demolish a few buildings. The building is not a fight movie).
The director realized that his level was limited, so he gave us a low-profile version. Another side effect is that many elements of the original version have become unrealistic slots here.
Of course, I watched it in a small fifth-tier city, and there is no IMAX version, so for the sake of immersion, I can only watch this movie in the first row. If I haven't seen the original, I can give it a 4.5. I have seen the original. If you look at it again, you may be scolded for selling dog meat with a direct negative score.
I still remember that the last movie I had been waiting for for half a year was "The Great Wall". After watching it, I scolded my mother and walked out. At this time, a young couple beside me asked, 'How do you think this movie? 'Female:' I think it's pretty.' Male:' Well, I think it's pretty good too. 'I was shocked to hear it next to me at the time, and I was absolutely shocked by these two. Numerous bad movies over the years have destroyed everyone's aesthetics.
The next time I go to the cinema is to see a mindless wave like "Transformers 5". Since then, I can only get the only remaining pleasure of watching movies from the demolition of the house.

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!
