There is no more powerful animation than this theatrical version: a must-see for life

Life and death come and go , and when the line breaks,
life and machine are left standing . In an era when the two are so perfectly combined that it is difficult to separate each other, we are thinking about this issue more urgently. How can we justify survival and survival, and how should we look at machine life and give them a proper orientation. Ghost In The Shell 2: Innocence elevates this theme to the realm of the gods. The unfathomable themes, the fantastic visual effects, and the intricate quotations are really confusing. The case is actually not difficult to analyze, but in the process of investigation, there are too many paradoxes that Bart and Togusa need to ponder. I don't think the original Ghost In The Shell should be discussed so deeply. The theatrical version 2 is much more difficult to understand than 1, but it can be seen that this film is deeply invested. In view of the two major factors of technology and theme, this time can be described as a milestone theatrical version in the history of animation. Although it came out earlier, there are still very few films that can surpass it even now. To be honest, I can only understand 2/3 of it after watching it three times. The first time I watched it was when I was in the first year of junior high school. I bought two 3DVD discs of the theatrical edition. I wanted to buy Blu-ray, but Amazon Japan is too expensive... I am looking forward to it, and I will watch it again when I get it.

Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence quotes

  • [first title cards]: In a future time when most human thought has been accelerated by artificial intelligence and external memory can be shared on a universal matrix, Batou, an agent of the elite Section 9 Security Force and a being so artificially modified as to be essentially cyborg, is assigned, along with his mostly human partner, Togusa, to investigate a series of gruesome murders.

  • Togusa: How great is the sum of thy thoughts? If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand.

    Bateau: Psalms 139, Old Testament. The way you spout these spontaneous exotic references, I'd say your own external memory's pretty twisted.
