Pure Passerby movie review

After three years, I recently revisited it again. As a passerby, I said that the production of this live-action version of the film is still very good. Whether it is the presentation of the beautiful city scene or the hearty fighting scenes, it seems to have been engraved in my mind all the time. never dissipated. However, maybe because I haven't seen the original version, I have a preconceived feeling that if I watch this film alone, the emotional clues are still very clear and natural, and the theme I want to express is also very clear. It can be guessed that the main creative team has made a relatively large localization adaptation of the core ideas that the original work wants to express. The other is about the handling of various elements. I think it is quite complete. Although some people will say: "The stitching marks are serious", "I want to express too much to cause confusion", but these are exactly the opposite in my eyes. Not even at all. Many of them can be seen to be obvious tribute elements deliberately arranged by the director, and they also evoke the impression of other universes when watching the movie, such as always thinking of the Blade Runner Matrix super body Alita world and so on. In short, thanks for this remake, I know that there is an excellent next-generation work like Attack in the Shell. If I have the opportunity in the future, I must have a good understanding of this magnificent world (•̀⌄•́)

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!
