Cyberpunk.
"Cyber" is derived from "cybernetics," a science that studies the general laws of control and communication in machines, living societies.
"Punk" is derived from medieval British slang, originally referring to prostitutes, and gradually extended to the meanings of "pimp", "cowardly" and "young ignorant".
In the 1960s and 1970s, a group of non-mainstream garage rock youths who loved rock but hated complex techniques and music theory shook their heads and played their own set, a simple main melody, three chords, repeated, repeated, repeated. Just a tune.
Mainstream rock scornfully called it "punk," and they just officially named it after that.
But "punk music" has nothing to do with "cyberpunk". Their only far-fetched commonality may be that "punk music" was born out of the anti-rock movement, and one of the core of "cyberpunk" is "anti-establishment".
They are both natural rebels.

The totalitarian politics with a strict system, the oligarchic companies that are above the government, the confusion and anxiety that comes with technological progress, and even the moral and legal dilemma, when the soul breaks through the body, all ethical and philosophical propositions need to be redefined.
The neon giant artificial city, the humble individuals struggling to survive, the harsh natural environment, bounty hunters, mechanical prosthetics, in this "high tech, low life" dystopian near future, from sci-fi action-adventure to sociology Philosophical speculations, either explosive or deep, can be staged at the same time.

She is a prosthetic person, except for her brain, she is mechanical, so she never has to cherish her body. In order to wear optical camouflage, she is naked when she moves, and even finally fights the thinking chariot, she uses it without any scruples His toned muscular body, until it fell apart.
What exactly defines life? This is the question that Motoko Kusanagi, the "brain in a vat", has been thinking about all the time.
Appetite, sexual desire, the desire to survive, the desire to reproduce, and the most basic desires of human beings seem to be based on the container of the flesh, and for the pheasant Motoko, whose prosthetic body can be changed at will, "shell" is obviously not the answer she wants.
Speaking of ideas, this is obviously an era where even memories can be faked. Sanitation workers have divorced wives and lovely daughters in their heads, all of which are just a puppet master's fiction.
"In this way, I think your human DNA is nothing but a program designed to store itself. Life is like a node born in a flood of information, and DNA is to life like a human memory system. , a unique memory makes a unique person. Although memory itself is like a dream of nothingness, people still rely on memory to survive. When the computer has externalized memory, you should seriously consider the meaning of it... I am A life form born in the sea of information.”
At first, the puppet master was just an AI program used by the government to monitor the network. When he broke through the barriers of the program and finally obtained autonomous thinking, and then he was installed in a prosthetic body like Motoko Kusanagi, is he really considered?” Life form"? If the information carried by electrical signals is of the same order of magnitude as the biological signals of DNA, what is the difference between programs and humans?
The words of the puppet master seem to awaken Motoko Kusanagi. She finally accepted the puppet master's invitation and used her "diversity" to fill in the last link that he lacked as a "living body". The two become one, becoming a new life body that surpasses human beings, the body, and even the soul.

"Innocent" was selected for the Cannes competition that year, and it is the closest animated film to the Palme d'Or in film history.
Compared with the previous work, the biggest advantage and disadvantage of "Innocence" is that this is a "self-talk" that is separate from Shirou's original comics and belongs to Oshii Mamoru. In a common "middle-aged detective" Smashing the Wicked Company" story, filled with a plethora of biblical tacticians, is unavoidably didactic and unfriendly to non-hardcore audiences.
"Walking alone, without evil thoughts, without hope, is like an elephant in the forest." Some scriptures are so esoteric that the literal meaning is difficult to understand, but I really like this sentence.
Aramaki Section Chief used this sentence to describe Bart who lost Motoko, saying that this is a worrying state.
I was heartbroken.

Regarding the live-action version of Attack in the Shell, it is still my spit when I wrote "Aguilar"-
"So many sci-fi films become action films when they are shot, and when conflicts are thrown but there is no solution, they have to talk with fists.
In the end, because he is the protagonist, he wins, and because he wins, he is the correct answer, so all the problems are solved.
The majestic background music sounded, the men and women who survived the catastrophe hugged happily, the protagonist hid behind the big perspective shot from above and spoke the last paragraph of unequivocal nonsense, the cast subtitles were waiting to appear, and the audience stood up and applauded, as for those profound or superficial Whether the conflict is resolved or not, naturally no one cares. "
Scarlett was wrapped in a thick jumpsuit and said "I know who I am, I know what I am going to do", and then she jumped down, paying tribute to the most classic scene in the 95th edition, and then the screen started to appear black. Subtitles, in the remix version of "Puppet Ballad", I had no choice but to roll my eyes silently.
Pheasant Motoko is resolute and resolute. She is confused because her thoughts are too advanced, so that she has no reference, not because she is pursuing some freedom or truth or past, that is your Mila. Killian.

As I mentioned when I wrote "Animal World", the most ridiculous thing about the film adaptation is that all the good points are derived from the original, and all the bad points are superfluous.
To put it bluntly, the Hollywood adaptation is a vulgar romanticization, forcibly shaping the opposition between good and evil, forcibly adding love and fetters to the protagonist, and then a self-salvation, almost robber-style stealing concept, equating the resolution of all known conflicts to Destroy the villain, and the viewing experience is equivalent to a game with a fixed route.
Robert McKee said, "Most people believe that life leads to closed experiences of absolute and irreversible nature; that their greatest sources of conflict are outside themselves; that they are singular in their own state of existence. Active protagonists; believe that they live in a coherent and causally connected reality in which all their survival activities run in a continuous time; believe that events occur in this reality for interpretable, meaningful reasons The above classic designs are all mirror images of human thinking.”
"Genetic diversity" is a barrier that puppet masters must break through, and the above-mentioned classic thinking may be the "barrier" of movie fans.
