The issue is whether technology, humanities, commerce and freedom can live in harmony.

Hanka company has high-tech electronic prosthesis technology, but the prosthesis only represents the machine, and the soul needs to be implanted, so they did 98 human transformation experiments, and finally got a brain and electronic prosthesis in the 99th transformation. The successful fusion of the body 's experimental body.

However, the subject still had occasional memories that were awakened during the process of continuously erasing his memory, and gradually contacted Subject No. 98 when the Public Security Section 9 cracked down on terrorists. In the process of constantly exploring the No. 98 experiment and thinking about the meaning of its own existence, the ultimate secret of Hanka's company was unearthed, which is a weapon to create a super artificial intelligence combination without human consciousness.

This film is extremely abstract and jumpy. I haven't seen the original and other classic versions, but it obviously feels that the cut is too simplified, and a lot of foreshadowing and narrative is lost in order to compress the film length to 100 minutes. Watching this movie is like watching some self-media commentary movies, only the key plots are told, and the fun of reading and contemplating resonance is lost.

That's the problem of the human part.

The virus has spread.

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!
