2 is not necessarily greater than 1

Some people say it is cheating money, I feel okay. It's just Japanese perfectionism.

Many oil painting masters always feel uncomfortable looking at their young works in their later years, the colors are wrong, so almost all of them are changed again. In fact, the color of the retina of a person will gradually become colored with age.

GIS was produced in 1995, and even now it seems to be a masterpiece. CG technology is all of the highest level at the time. However, the development of the CG industry can be described as rapid development. It is really embarrassing for Oshii to look at the 3D scenes at that time now. So version 2.0 has almost re-rendered the mechanical and network UI related scenes with 3d reconstruction. The audio track is also greatly enhanced than the original version.

The original classic green digital title has been removed and turned into a silk thread like a spider web. Probably after being borrowed from "Matrix", there is nothing new, so I just made a cooler one.

In order to be in harmony with the new 3d scene, the original hand-painted lines have also been fairly softened, many rough brush strokes have been removed, and HDR light effects have been added. At the same time, in order to be in line with Innocence, the picture was also changed from the original blue-green cool tone to the golden warm tone.

The elements in the opening "jumping" and the midfield diving scene were replaced with 3D models, but to be honest, the effect of 3D simulation is not good, and it is not as good as the original hand-painted version. If the whole film is changed to this, then this film will not be able to be watched.

I still prefer the 95 version. The purely hand-painted lines are full of attractive details.

It's like listening to the guqin. People who have just listened to the guqin must be very uncomfortable, because there is a relatively "rough" string grazing in the middle. Someone asked Hugo’s boss, why didn’t he remove that voice? He said that the current recording technology can erase the sound of the string. But he still kept it, because the grazing sound made people feel that someone was actually playing behind it. And MIDI has no flicking sound.

In addition, the shock that GIS gave me back then was that it not only gave me a visual and auditory impact, but also philosophically made me rethink the meaning of being a "person".

From this point of view, the better the new version of the picture, the stronger the sound effect, in a sense, the more it makes the viewer away from thinking about the film's connotation.

    Are there still empty mirrors in the cartoons of that era? The rhythm is slow.
