"Ghost in the Shell" movie review

The 2017 live-action adaptation of the original 1995 animation is 22 years apart.

The Hollywood version is shown in theaters around the world. If the film company produces an in-depth movie that explores the soul, body and artificial intelligence with the animation version of Oshii Mamoru, the young people who occupy most of the mind of fast food culture want them to put it down and see it everywhere. Accessible burgers and fries, open the mobile phone in the alley, use the Google map search engine to find the delicious shops recommended on the Internet, be quick with everything, and the young man who is addicted to the virtual world is really a noble field that does not want to spend more time. . Therefore, the production team would rather gain or lose after watching the original version and compare the pros and cons of live-action movies to the audience, rather than watching the new version without watching the animation, the audience will go home full of doubts; the Hollywood movie is to promote American culture all over the world, even if the Western Great powers always want to be able to explain everything in words, which is the standard of the world. If the listeners don't know, they explain it again and again. It's your acceptance of my set, and the clamorous rules that don't understand is a heresy. Zen, what comes out is a mixed-type movie with a mere form, lack of depth, delicate audio and video, and a thin-thinking thing.

The future Hong Kong landscape shown in the film is full of cyberpunk art style, and the juvenile film is no longer the same old film. The street market can retain the original urban characteristics, and the live-action version has added several strokes to make the future city more sci-fi. It seems that the meat company has installed mechanical prosthetic butchers, and digital advertisements for high-rise buildings and high-rise buildings. The future world is not only a silver-gray concrete building, cutting meat Chopped and packed flesh and bones and handed it over to the regulars' palms with a muffled sound, even if the time is unknown, the resolute prosthetic limbs are connected to the rotten limbs to help the body move freely. The movie uses crisp sound effects to bring out people's feelings, and the concern of the people in the West overshadows the dullness of the animated version.

The new chapter is a little bit of water in the discussion of soul and flesh. It could not be compared with the original version. The restoration of the live-action version depends on the computer special effects that are almost real. The director's idea was to not dare to be worn out. The cleaning car worker collapsed during the interrogation in the ninth lesson. When the prisoner was used, he told his colleagues that he would listen to his daughter's concert. At this moment, the violin was melodious, and he kept talking about the memory of the little girl in the glass room. Machine], Major and Bart were sad to see the limbs out of sight. If Rupert Sanders explained the details of the modern version in simple language in 2017, it would be a little troublesome. If this section is accompanied by a violin soundtrack to set off the sad expressions of the members of the Nine Lessons, the sound and picture are close together, compared to the original version. No loneliness would be even more sad.

Bart introduced his pet dog, Basset Hound, to the Major in the narrow alley. This is the kindness that Major had previously said that she was a complete individual without a billion fragments; Bart was equipped with a prosthetic eye, please save his benefactor. Feeding the Basset dog who came alone, the major did not leave the meat behind, did not speak, and had no emotion, she caressed the dog's neck indifferently, the dog looked at the master with enthusiasm and snuggled up with his robe, only a human brain, a female warrior with a mechanical body Feeling what love is from the body temperature of an animal, the time when Bart pulled off the major's catheter and brought her back to reality was not counted. She regarded it as a corporal's obedience to the order. The intervention of the dog gave Major Bart a new level of trust and friendship beyond life and death. Animal love is okay, the temperature of the new work is warmer than the cold version of Mamoru Oshii.

The soul of the film can’t be explored. The actual and virtual battle scenes are often old stalks in horror films. She has to think about where did I come from? The meaning of existence? No, the only brain left in the body of the prosthetic major is just a carrier to find his own past, this is It is a warm film that tends to seek roots more than identity. Everyone should hold it in the cinema Hierarchical films will not leave in anger.

Takeshi Kitano's Japanese lines from the head of Aramaki Daisuke, supplemented with English subtitles [Don't send a rabbit to kill a fox. (Don't send a rabbit to kill a fox. The heroic and heroic style of the old man who opened fire to kill the enemy is no less than the young age of the director and actor.

Dr. Ouelet, starred by Juliette Binoche, although wearing a white robe, her tenderness is like a mother who cherishes her daughter. The French actress is always smiling, and her eyes are rich in emotion. .

Ghost in the Shell quotes

  • Batou: [Batou just got new eyes] Say something nice.

    Major: You chose those?

    Batou: They're tactical.

  • Major: Tell me who you are.

    Kuze: I am that which you seek to destroy. In this life, my name is Kuze.

    Major: What are you doing to me?

    Kuze: I have connected you to a network of my own creation. When I am finished in this world, my ghost can survive there and regenerate.

    Major: What do you want from me?

    Kuze: I became fascinated with you, reading your code while you were inside that geisha. Like nothing I had felt before and yet so... familiar. We are the same.

    Major: We are not the same. You kill innocent people.

    Kuze: "Innocent", is that what you call them? I am as they made me.

    Major: Who made you?

    Kuze: What have they told you? That you were the first? The first cerebral salvage? You were born of lessons took from my failure.

    Major: What are you talking about?

    Kuze: I was conscious while they dismembered my body and discarded me like garbage. I was lying on a table, listening to doctors talk about how my mind had not meshed with the shell that they had built, how Project 2571 had failed, and they had to move on to you.

    [removes a piece of Major's face]

    Kuze: What a beauty you are. They have improved us so much since they made me. They thought we would be a part of their evolution, but they have created us to evolve alone... beyond them.

    Major: "Evolution", that's what you call killing everyone who made you?

    Kuze: You're not listening to me.

    Major: You're a murderer.

    Kuze: They tried to kill me first. It is self-defense; defense of self! More will die until they tell me what they took!
