Still exploring the philosophical relationship between the soul and the body. Maybe go deeper. But a lot of the sequel falls short of where it should be.
In version 95, a super spyware 2501 generates self-awareness in the cyber ocean, and then deploys layers of traps with only one purpose, inviting the closest electronic human mind - Elemental to merge with it for its essentially maximum upgrade ,Mutations. Because the self-replication of the program itself is meaningless, only mutation can complete the real evolution.
Really exciting idea. I have always been looking forward to the infinite possibilities after Motoko joins the Internet ocean. So looking forward to its sequel.
Unexpectedly, in Innocence, Motoko couldn't see any changes, and still retained her original character, voice, and similar appearance, and she had no idea what changes occurred after she merged with 2501.
Compared with the first episode, Innocence's AI level is simply not developed. In the first episode, the AI has already produced self-awareness and gave birth to artificial life. In the second episode, the robot manufacturer did not develop a more advanced AI, but kidnapped some children. , injecting their souls into the puppets is simply a step backwards.
Innocence has introduced a lot of 3D productions, but unfortunately, these 3D productions are not integrated with the style of the film, but have a superfluous feeling. An obvious example is the scene where Bart was in the grocery store. The scene was fully 3D, but it was very poorly done, with exaggerated bump maps. It was obvious at a glance that it was the result of 3D production. Spirited Away also introduced 3D production, but it perfectly retains the hand-painted feel and looks impeccable. Could it be that Miyazaki Jun has a higher vision?
From beginning to end, the whole movie reminds me of Avalon, who is also produced by Mamoru Oshii, and I also dislike this movie, the same dim tone, the same depression, the same Bucky degree. (It's not that I don't like Bucky, it's that I don't like repetition.)
Compared with the GIS of 1995, Innocence feels like a follow-up. Maybe I didn't get it.
