Yes, this new theatrical version is to a certain extent just re-playing the setting of the previous work and pinching him out of the dusty old things, and playing it over and over again in front of the audience. It can even be said that it just arranged and combined these stalks for the old audiences who have already been in contact with the shell, and produced a new movie signed Chong Fangding.
But I don't think it's necessary to criticize it. As a big fan of this series, seeing those familiar things, no matter how boring the interpretation is, I will feel satisfied. In this bowl of cold rice that lasted for an hour and forty minutes, every familiar movement of Suzi could activate my brain waves, especially the last assassination attempt by jumping off the building.
But it doesn't seem to be here. If this theatrical version is regarded as a person with an electronic brain in the world of Attack in the Shell, then the above part should belong to his external memory device, and the rest comes from his soul. The element in this part is no longer the element, and the attack on the shell is not the attack.
Whether compared with Kenji Kamiyama's version or Oshii Mori's version, we see Motoko with many more actions and expressions. Unlike the past (or, the future?), this element is more playful and lively. She called Saito a "stupid" in a rich, sullen tone when he was about to kill, she raised her eyebrows at the prime minister's son who invited her to dinner, and she rejoiced at the recognition of the troops. If Oshii Mori's Motoko is an internet soul who doesn't eat human fireworks and gender confusion, and Kamiyama Kenji's Motoko is a persistent, determined and feminine female soldier, then the Motoko here is a rebellious, stubborn, maverick young woman. As a prequel, it seems reasonable and reasonable.
As for the other characters in Lesson 9, some people say that there is absolutely no character in this new theatrical version, which I think is an exaggeration. Aramaki is still full of sense of justice, Bart is optimistic and upright, Ishikawa is calm and intelligent... It's just that Togusa has become too much like a pixel, flustered like a real newcomer, lacks a sense of existence, and does not have the image of a detective transformed by a non-righteous body , and even later leadership roles. I personally like Kenji Kamiyama's version of Togusa, but unfortunately this one is not inherited.
After this bowl of cold rice, what will happen in the future. After watching a work like Attack in the Shell, you will feel a sense of dependence. Even if you watch the same excellent movie, you always feel that it is not enough, and would rather have one or two more bad sequels. Who would be completely different for a boring person like me to arrange and combine a new attack shell.
