"Ghost in the Shell 2" Oshii Mamoru "If the gods we believe in, and the hope of chasing, are just scientific quantification, will our love also be scientific?"——Lear Adam "Future" Eve With the development of modern neurology and evolutionary psychology, there is actually a certain theoretical basis for the character of human "love". Therefore, the answer to the question at the beginning of this article, "Will our love be scientific?" has already been answered. The answer is: Technically, our "love" can be scientific. This answer is basically the same as the answer in the film. The consciousness of "human" in the film is backed up and transplanted into the mechanical doll, so that the machine can acquire the same emotions as people. Now that the answer has been found, you seem to finally breathe a sigh of relief, but when you are about to hand in the paper, you are surprised to find that the film did not intend to discuss this issue at all from the beginning. So reviewing the question is really important. Let's go back to this question, re-examine it, and continue to play this film in our own minds. As the brain burns, new questions emerge from the inextricable plot. It turns out that "whether our love will be scientific" is not a discussion from a technical point of view. To understand this, one must turn to the first film of "Ghost in the Shell": The consciousness that exists in the machine, does consciousness really exist? How do we measure it? If a robot suddenly says to you that he has a mind of his own, he is a human being, please don't kill him, he needs legal protection. What would you think? You have no way to verify whether he really has a mind, just like I am in front of you, but I can't know your thoughts, we also can't know whether a robot really has a mind. Therefore, "whether our love will also be scientific" is also discussed from a similar ethical point of view. It is a pity that the director and the original author did not come up with an answer, but left this difficult question to the audience. But the audience won't buy it. They pay to go to the cinema and just want a ready-made answer. Therefore, even such a "magical work" with epochal significance is not as well-known as a commercial film. "Whether our love will also be scientific" Compared with technology, the ethical difficulty is far beyond the imagination of people, including the authors. Fanwai culture, art, and science have evolved on the earth for tens of thousands of years through human beings, resulting in countless civilizations. However, it is very rare to discuss it systematically and show its artistic side, and you may be hard to find such a film.

    At first glance, it is pessimistic, and it completely dismantles the concept of human beings, telling us that we can either become cyborgs, or become pigs and dogs, or that children are no different from dolls in essence, and adults are a form of sin. However, when Bart put on clothes for the Major, and when he put on clothes for the carrier doll who only had partial consciousness, it was hard not to believe in the existence of ghosts. There is also a certain reflexivity in it. Major cyborg, who transcends all things, why is he paying attention to Bart all the time? Connections, fetters, emotions, desires only make her transhuman form of existence unjust. So cyborgs are not gods after all, but some kind of powerful people. I really like the soundtrack of the music box. It is purely mechanical, but it is clear and pure like a child's voice, which perfectly fits the theme. No wonder so many horror movies like to use it. Philosophical speculation is more applied language, but the application of Chinese-philosophical related elements enhances its mystery, which is also good. And "someone who can speak is asked", this kind of depth is really difficult to express in a form other than language.

    The picture is too delicate and exquisite, the painting is extremely bursting, the whole film is exquisite like a dream of nothingness, and it fits the sense of emptiness conveyed in the film. After reading it, I was surrounded by a strong sense of nothingness and loneliness. But I still feel that the film quotes are too much, and I really don't like the CG nihility, and I prefer the organic texture of the first film. 8.1 points

Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence quotes

  • Bateau: [referring to the grenades thrown by the thug] Your little gifts exploded above my head. Even presuming they went off at their most lethal range, you think two grenades are going to off an armored cyborg? You insult me.

  • Lin: We got loyalty even in my line.

    Bateau: There's loyalty that protects secrets and loyalty that projects the truth. You cannot serve both masters, so which loyalty is yours?
