"Ghost in the Shell" or "Robocop"

The director said that when he was a child, he was shocked when he watched "Attack", so he spent the boss's efforts to set up this game and made a live-action version. I have no doubt that he is a real fan. Not to mention the restoration of many scenes, the whole series of stalks are flying everywhere, the mother's apartment in the play is called Avalon, the meaning is very interesting, and even the old duck movie is also a tribute.

Unfortunately, this movie belongs to the default rhythm of Hollywood fast food. Without Duck’s iconic empty mirrors and monologues, the political content of the original work has also been cut. After watching the whole film, I know almost all the places, and the shots are familiar, but this tone, I never catch my breath and go back.

The dazed and surprised expression that Suzi rarely appears keeps our Scarlett in the whole film. A major who was completely demented and beaten, not to mention leadership. Compared with animation, it seems to have more humanity. The role of Hero Kuze, in the movie, is the same person as the puppet, and there is no lofty idea or anything, just intercepted the setting of acquaintance with Motoko. Just as simple and easy to understand.

What else. Bart is still Bart, just no coat. Togusa, who is honest and honest, looks like a gangster.

What's left, Asian faces and mega-corporations, amnesiac human-brained robocop fighting his producers and finally hitting a dozen tanks. This is exactly the same as a certain "Robocop". On the contrary, there is also a discussion of spirit and body. I am especially afraid that some people will not understand, and finally let Suzi read it out.

The 95 version of the prime child has reached the new top of the human race along the evolutionary tree. The new film remembered what my name was, and found my mother.

However, you can also watch this movie without the influence of the old work, which is just the height of a 2017 "Robocop".

I can only feel that the director's skills are not as good as others, and I am too guilty.

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!
