What people fear most is comparison. The same is true of movies, not to mention, with the passage of time and precipitation, the original version of "Battling in the Shell" is like a bottle of old wine, the more fragrant it is in our minds. Today's remake. As you can guess, the audience's eyes will first judge three paragraphs! Not to mention that the live-action version can surpass the original.
Key words: Soul Many people worship the original "Ghost in the Shell", largely because of the philosophical questions and thinking raised in the cartoon. "A man is a man, and a soul is a soul."
When the mind can be manipulated by hackers, how can you prove that your soul can still be preserved? The original version of "Battling in the Shell" used a lot of dialogue to talk with the audience, think together, and grow together, so as to bring the audience into a deeper meditation step by step. It is like a diamond falling into the deep sea. A philosophical and profound light is projected on each refraction surface at any time. Every frame in the film is full of richness. There are a lot of blank soundtrack scenes in the cartoon, which are the breathing of the film, which makes people feel the world at that moment, which is lonely, gloomy, and touchable.
In the live-action version of "The Shell", the prosthetics on the surface are almost perfect and real, and the special effects are dazzling, but the core is erratic. In the first half of the film, especially the deep dive into the geisha and the dialogue with the garbage truck driver, it feels a little bit better. But it is only free between the dermis, and it cannot enter the core to raise questions. In the second half of the film, the incomparably vulgar American routine leaves people speechless. Reminds me of little tadpoles looking for their mother.
Science fiction never exists in the future, on the contrary, it exists only in today. Good science fiction works have always been reflections and shouts of today. Today, when the Internet has been immersed in each of us, the topic between the soul and the machine seems to have reached an unavoidable problem. As the original "Beat the Shell" said: What is the basis for us to believe that we exist?
The live-action version touches on this question plainly, that is: if my brain is monitored and taken over by you, then am I still me? Where is my soul? But it's just a touch of the water, which is a pity. If the original Attack in the Shell discusses human existentialism from the perspective of Buddha's eyes, then the live-action version of Attack in the Shell only asks questions from a personal perspective. So the difference between the live-action version and the original version is self-evident.
Keywords: pros and cons. Is the live-action Ghost in the Shell really nothing? Not really. Let's talk about the advantages first, the movie will sell, that's for sure, and of course I hope to sell. We still have two major domestic investors in the movie. The sophistication of the film's special effects is eye-catching. Many new high-tech equipments have made people feel the power of special effects. In today's days when there is no best and only better special effects, a large number of commercial films are constantly exploring more real and exciting special effects. So dazzling special effects, we do not exclude. However, special effects are like clothes in a movie. No matter how well designed, the heart inside the clothes does not beat, and after all, it cannot resonate with people.
There are many scenes in the film that are imitated from the original version. After the introduction of the new story line, some scenes can still be linked smoothly, which really makes people see some fresh flavors. If you put down the original Attack in the Shell and look at it with a brand new movie, the live-action version of Attack in the Shell is like a mature commercial movie, with a smooth plot, qualified fighting, and wonderful special effects. The audience did not suffer, and the film company made a profit. What's there to regret? If you want to think more about life, isn't this the original version of the shell? !
After talking about the advantages, let's talk about the disadvantages (there are no personality categories). First introduce a term - "cyberpunk". It is a branch of science fiction, mainly showing a contradictory living environment under the information technology. In the official words: "Treat people like mice, all measures against mice can be equally applied to people. Closing your eyes and refusing to think cannot Make this appalling picture disappear. This is cyberpunk." To put it in words: the future technological environment must be dirty, dark, grim, decadent, night and rain are necessary conditions. "Blade Runner" and the original "Beat in the Shell" are the most classic examples of "cyberpunk".
In the real version, Hong Kong and Tokyo are the best tourist attractions for "cyberpunk". On the other hand, the live-action version of the shell. Godzilla-sized holograms, colorful candy-like electronic screens, and Barbie-like majors. Including the post-graduation of the film, I have virtually seen the sunshine version of "cyberpunk". The lack of three-point heat probably means this.
As mentioned earlier in the plot, it is anticlimactic. Strictly speaking, it should be a tiger's head and a mouse's tail. Many classic bridges are inserted into the new story line, which we will not talk about for the time being, pay tribute or attract fans. But what happened to the little tadpole in the later plot looking for his mother? ! Okay, I get it now! In the eyes of Americans, as long as they find their mother and find a home, they will find themselves. There is nothing wrong with such universal values, but we are not asking you to instill values in us. What we want is not a period. What we want is a question mark and an exclamation mark (?!) A good exploration of the perspective of human nature and soul, why it is reduced to a root-seeking journey from a personal perspective, OK root-seeking is fine, the key is not to talk about the reason, just simply put The plot leads to the place where the major was kidnapped. to prepare for the next battle. It really makes you stomp your feet.
The slaughter between the Hanka Machinery Company and the Nine Classes made people feel that they were outside the theme. The strange feeling was similar to listening to Takeshi Kitano speak Japanese and others in English. It's really strange why it's set to be one British a day. And the members of Nine Lessons, one by one, became symbols, just threading the needle for the plot, not adding to the story.
Key words: Setting the character setting has always been a very important existence in the movie, but it is easy to be ignored. Many people will think why the plot has gone to the cliché instead of developing into a deeper meaning. This is often a problem with the settings. First of all, making the hacker real is the biggest failure. The original hacker was born in the network, from the network. And the live-action hacker is not the network, but a failure before the major's experiment, a real human being transformed into a robot. Therefore, in the end, it evolved into a human being compared with a human, annoyed, and a human beating! Robotic exploration? Internet soul exploration? Not worth mentioning at all. Not to mention the thinking of the human soul. There's no time to talk about the special effects!
Hackers went from the "existential quest" of the original shell to a straightforward "I want revenge." Just imagine, how can a hacker who hates and wants revenge have a way to think and act more broadly!
Then there is the setting of our major, who doubted himself at the beginning, and this started very well. But what is the situation of the phantom pavilion, what is the situation of the small pavilion in front of the hacker's chest, and what is the situation of the Hanka company cheating you? ! Can these plots not be so similar! It feels familiar! As expected! So you, Hanka, lied to me! I am a test subject! I didn't do it voluntarily! My little fleshly heart is hurt! This is not in line with the universal values of American democracy at all! I want to find my roots! I want to find my home!
So our major abandoned existentialist thinking about human nature and intelligent souls. Abandoned the movie "ghost in the shell" thinking! Go straight to my mother's house! Find the Japanese mother who grew up in Hong Kong or the Hong Kong mother who grew up in Japan. And then participated in the righteous action of eradicating evil. The reason why the plot develops like this is because there is a problem with the character setting! Especially when Hisaishi asked for fusion in the end, the major refused! (A mouthful of old blood spurts). Isn't this the rhythm of making a sequel? Adhere to the American main theme values and continue to fight against cybercrime!
Hanka Company did not hold any position in the original Attack in the Shell, but it was completely blackened in the live-action version. Okay, I got it! American routines must be black and white in the end! No grey areas! Choose a position, choose a side, then you are a bad person and we are a good person, let's fight! These character settings have been completely personified, that is: the reason why I am like this, because of that, so I want to be like this, as for what I want to make trouble, you can definitely see that it is like this! Not what you think!
Key words: Puppet Ballads If you are familiar with the original version of Attack in the Shell, you must not forget the Puppet Ballads of the soundtrack of the Sky in the Shell. The ethereal singing seems to be telling all kinds of questions in the world, and there is no way to get an answer in the wind. It can only make people fall into a deeper reverberation. What is the finishing touch, the puppet ballad is the finishing touch when placed in the shell.
Let's feel the lyrics of Xia Yao III: "If I dance, everyone is drunk", "If I dance, the moon has no light", "The gods come to the world to give marriage", "The night is dark and the tiger thrushes" "The far-away gods give blessings" are very profound There are wood. But what does it come down to in the film? The real meaning of the poems is probably here. Everyone is drunk and I am alone. We are everyone, and each intoxicated heart has its own understanding. Isn't this the highest level of poetry? Well, let’s talk human, fortunately I found the interview of director Oshii Mori on the music part. It probably means thinking alone. The state of the soul is a relation of inner and social contact. "Is it about building relationships with people or actively being alone". This is the thinking that Oshii Mori keeps emphasizing the frictional contact between the soul and society in the film.
In other words, Puppet Ballad sublimates the meditation of the individual soul. The babble went deep. Just because the real version of Adou, who can't help it, is attacking the shell. Having said that, since the plot has backfired. Then the special effects and wonderful scenes can still be worth some ticket money. If you want to enjoy a good movie, it is best to use IMAX 3D.
