The violent game look and feel, the light and sound effects are amazing, and you can't do it without money, but many effects can't be achieved just by throwing money at it.

The last 40 minutes were all climaxes, the game between Bart and Kim, and the reunion with the major's soul on the ship to fight the enemy together. When I first saw this movie many years ago, I didn't know that there was another one before, but from the dialogue, I could feel that the missing Major was the soul of the film, until the Major finally appeared with his soul, and also answered the questions raised. How to define whether an organism belongs to a human being when the machine is maximized? In an era where everything can be quantified, those things that cannot be quantified are the life that distinguishes other individuals, such as real-time emotions, real memories, The choice of responsibility... "When the line is broken, let it fall." When the data line is no longer connected, we are dead puppets, or free souls in the ocean of data. Humans believe that perfect gods created human beings, and human beings hope to create intelligent human beings that are infinitely close to perfection based on human standards. Who is who is god, who is who is a puppet, and the embodiment and continuation of life value is the responsibility of the puppet, or the god. The will, what is representative of man has existed, and the evidence of existence.

With a duration of about 100 minutes, the breadth and depth involved in the content of the film have reached a considerable capacity, and the relationship between modern technology and future technology represented by prosthetics and prosthetics, and the relationship with society, economy, and politics has been deeply studied. Analysis and discussion. After all, science and technology have advanced to a certain extent, and products are produced for the purpose of use. It is unknown how to use them, what consequences they will have, and whether they will get out of control in the end. As a national weapon, the individual's thoughts are important or not, what role they can play, whether the body and soul must be integrated into one, and if they are separated, what is the meaning of each? Even today's human beings, what kind of soul should be under the body, how we should interpret ourselves, and the question between reality and illusion, are always inseparable from the subject of "Zhou and Butterfly". The director uses a very extreme way to expound the theme to be expressed in an extreme effect.

The dialogue of the film is not difficult to understand, but the original work (haven't seen the original comics) or the director's spoofed scriptures, Chinese, Japanese, European and American, literary, historical and philosophical, all selected and quoted for their own use, At this time, the level of the subtitle group can be classified higher (I probably did not read the same version twice), and if the translation is not good, it will be confusing (causing the illusion of obscurity), or laughable.

Another reason for his admiration for Oshii Shou is his grasp of Chinese style (more specifically, Chinese Nanman style). Street scenes and event scenes have achieved a gorgeous and isolated fusion. The language is Cantonese, but there is no drama at all, which shows the depth of his understanding of this culture.
