17. As a person who has never seen the original anime and first came into contact with the world setting, Yu Didu recognized the movie itself and received a 4.5-star praise. The background of the film is set in a future world, where people are committed to mechanizing their bodies, so that the aesthetics also converge with machines (human prostitutes dressed in robotic style). Although technology enhancement has become a trend, there are people who reject the excessive development of technology, whether it is the special operations team that is directly under the Prime Minister, or the slum where the family of Motoko (the protagonist's original name) lives. Taking this as a contradiction, the technology company attacked the stronghold of the anti-tech youth in the slum and brought them back to the company for human experiments. After scrapping 98 "experimental materials", he finally obtained a weapon named Major that perfectly retains the human soul-brain and a perfect body-mechanical skeleton. I can't help but want to add a sentence here, the number 98 is too intriguing here, so that it gives people a feeling of excessive force and blank space. Looking at all the films from this point, you can find that the screenwriting style of Japanese film and television works, where the lines contain philosophy, is vividly displayed. There are even two sentences about the definition of the human soul. Although I hate the style of speaking like a big reason, but for the sake of thinking more intriguing, I decided not to comment on it too much. Scarlett Johansson, who plays the major, can be said to be a new generation of goddesses. Perfect muscle lines, especially powerful back muscles and angular lines approaching perfect facial features, make people very immersive. She created a wild, rebellious, sexy and aggressive synth in the film. In the opening chapter, I couldn't bear to stare at her back every time, I felt familiar. It turned out that I had seen Matilda's silhouette in "That Killer Wasn't Too Cold." It seems that the major is walking in the same way, with a large coat, suggesting that she was born in a slum like Matilda, and dares to love and hate. The whole film made my first appearance in the Major's first mission. The commander's Japanese and the team's English are seamlessly connected but still make people face. No matter what kind of negotiation this is, I still feel a subtle dissonance. For the time being, I didn't expect any results that would satisfy the filmmakers, investors, and moviegoers from different countries, so... For the character "Hero", I understand with limited knowledge that he uploads his thoughts to the Internet, By hacking different people to piece together their own bodies and then download them from the Internet, due to the excessive computing of the human brain or memory loss, many of his functions are damaged (such as stuttering, which affects the perception and perception). And those living people who sit around like monks (this is another intention) are similar to the VPN we use to bypass the wall (is it called this?

As a person who has never read the original anime and first came into contact with the world setting, I recognize the movie itself, with a 4.5-star praise.

The background of the film is set in a future world, where people are committed to mechanizing their bodies, so that the aesthetics also converge with machines (human prostitutes dressed in robotic style). Although technology enhancement has become a trend, there are people who reject the excessive development of technology, whether it is the special operations team that is directly under the Prime Minister, or the slum where the family of Motoko (the protagonist's original name) lives. Taking this as a contradiction, the technology company attacked the stronghold of the anti-tech youth in the slum and brought them back to the company for human experiments. After scrapping 98 "experimental materials", he finally obtained a weapon named Major that perfectly retains the human soul-brain and a perfect body-mechanical skeleton.

I can't help but want to add a sentence here, the number 98 is too intriguing here, so that it gives people a feeling of excessive force and blank space. Looking at all the films from this point, you can find that the screenwriting style of Japanese film and television works, where the lines contain philosophy, is vividly displayed. There are even two sentences about the definition of the human soul. Although I hate the style of speaking like a big reason, but for the sake of thinking more intriguing, I decided not to comment on it too much.

As for the character "hero", I understand it with limited knowledge that he uploads his thoughts to the Internet, assembles his own body by invading different people, and then downloads it from the Internet, because the human brain is too large or memory loss. Because of this, many of his functions are impaired (such as stuttering, which affects perception). And those living people who sit around like monks (this is another intention), similar to the VPN we use for overcoming the wall (I'm not sure if it's called this), evade investigation and expand his cloud disk ~ just sauce ~

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!
