Too bad you're called "Ghost in the Shell"

In all honesty, this is a high-quality commercial film with bright spots and flaws.

---spoiler---

The girl Motoko and her lover hero, who wandered in the illegal zone, were captured by the Hanka Company, which was colluded with the government and businessmen. They were sent to the project No. 2571 by the Hanka Company along with nearly a hundred other illegally detained people. The purpose is to create a fusion machine and human beings. New individuals with common advantages.

In the end, after a lot of failures, the hero became a half-finished product and escaped, and Motoko became the only good product to enter the nine class of public security. It's just that her memory has been rewritten to become Mirakillian, a survivor of the terrorist attack.

So the story unfolds against this background, the couple who lost their memory as pros and cons face off online and offline, interspersed with a large number of giant stereoscopic projections embellished with the future city scene. The cyborg girl and her partners who recovered her memories and loved ones finally defeated Hanka, the mastermind behind the scenes. Although he has lost his lover hero, he has strengthened the meaning of his existence and has become the strongest fighting force against terrorist crimes.

---the end---

If that's the case, I can only complain that Scarlett looks a little chunky and the villain is mentally retarded. The plot is quite similar to Robocop and whether the hero is dead or not, please explain it to an easter egg blablabla

It's a pity that this movie is called Attack-Shell-Mobile-Move-Team! ! ! Ghost in the Shell in 1995 is the extreme of the picture + the extreme of the setting + the extreme of the soundtrack! It is the pinnacle of soft porn + oriental art style + fighting! Ultimately inspired the best franchise in the world - Birth of The Matrix!

It depicts a portrait of the cyberpunk world, and explores "life" itself. With a Japanese stubbornness, Motoko Kusatsu desperately searches for answers about life.

The feeling of watching that movie is like staring at a murderous saber, and you can feel the pain of the sharp blade just by watching it; it is like drinking a sip of strong wine, burning all the way from the mouth to the stomach and then making the brain bang; Like watching a ballerina dance in a minefield, the contradiction between elegant beauty and unknown danger is always making your brain alarm.

And this movie? All I can say is that it's like drinking a frozen Coke, taking a big sip to stimulate the ice, and then a big burp. This kind of lukewarm mediocrity is not wrong for a commercial film itself, the fault is that you shouldn't be called Ghost in the Shell.

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!
