Like all the Ghost in the Shell, I am mostly repellent to hear the news of the live-action version. Mo Zi is already an inhuman existence. The highest state of her character should be the elephant in the forest with no hope in innocence, so this is the reason. The image is placed in a flesh and blood body, which makes people feel superfluous. Scarlett is indeed the most correct choice for Hollywood because she starred in Reunion, Lucy, and Under the Skin, plus her level and influence. But even so, I still doubt whether she can do the job. But in fact, there are many versions of the shell, not every version is widely acclaimed, so tell yourself not to be so picky. In short, I have been looking forward to this day with this ambivalence for several months.
1. Element
The film is actually a bit of a prequel, and Bart is not "blind" yet. Although it is a bit boring to change Motozi’s origins and to change such a routine, it is advisable to adapt her past to a 120-minute movie based on tendencies to talk about events, tasks, politics, and struggles. After all, it can be seen in the animation. Not her mother, and this part of the movie is very touching. My mother's performance and lines were also very good. She brought the cat in her arms into the door, made tea, and said that there are many girls that remind me of my daughter, and you remind me of my daughter. The way you look at me... "Who are you?" "I don't know." At this moment Moko's eyes felt moist, and she was grateful that the prosthetic body had made a tear duct.
Another touching place is that she dives. The animation explained that she has more than 200 catties, and she should sink into the water with a pile of iron. And this setting in the movie is romantic and true. The dark seabed in the middle of the night is like her situation, unknown, cold, desperate. Originally a fearless person, both physically SHELL and psychological GHOST, felt fear. In this description, even someone who will never dive at night, I will never be a young master, and I can feel the kind of helplessness, or in other words, the helplessness of acquaintance.
2. Jiu Shi
The Jiu Shi hero should be a more mature and stable existence than the smiling man. After all, he and Suzi have experienced a lot at the same age, so every step he took must be thoughtful. Relatively speaking, the main characters in the animation are not extremely evil and good. Politicians have their own positions. Nine Lessons is a mediation department, while the smiling man and Kuze have their own understanding of society and think in their own way. The kind of people who need to make some changes. This kind of tit-for-tat, which is more tai chi, is something that the movie does not dare to take over easily, so Jiu Shi is arranged to kill innocent people indiscriminately. This inevitably makes people regret and makes many people angry. However, in the second half of the film, the relationship between him and Shao Zuo was completely dragged out. Although it was incomparable to the two people in the animation, they made paper cranes in the hospital, but when Shuang Shuang returned to the hut where they used to depend on each other, they used Shao Zuo to pull the door to the arm. On the broken bridge, Jiushi with his broken leg climbed to Shao Zuo's side, which was still very touching. Just because there are too many things to explain, many parts of the virtual network that are often found in the attack shell have been discarded, which made Shao Zuo's final rejection of Kuze very abrupt, and it also felt that it would mislead the audience into thinking that they would not be able to come back after leaving with Kuze. . In fact, as in the animation, Shao Zuo will definitely check it out at this moment. After all, the detachment and freedom in the Internet is also a characteristic of Shao Zuo. Of course, starring in Kuse Michael can't compare to the rebellious and unruly Kuse with a gray-haired Asian face. However, the mechanical sound of Glitch will appear in the setting, which is also very sensible. In the end, the expressionless performance of Jiushi facing death is also correct, because death has long ceased to exist for him. Therefore, it is a bit boring that the bad guy who controls the machine knows what is going on with Kuze and plays so High.
3. Huangjuan, Bart, Togusa
In addition to his face a few times bigger than in the animation, Kitano Takeshi's appearance in Aranaki is quite appropriate and expectant, and he is also grateful to retain his Japanese. It's just that Huang Juan is not only the leader of the team, but also a spiritual mentor who knows the word in many cases. It is a pity that this is not reflected in the short film, but in the end his car appeared in the rain and it made people smile. In this car, how many times Huang Juan and Shao Zuo devoted themselves to exchanges, whether it was work or personal feelings, it was the closest place between the two, and even felt like a father and a daughter. Togusa's revolver complex is also set to Huangjuan, and in general it is still very popular.
Bart has always been a conscientious and occasionally silly image (silly is mainly reflected in his love for Tajikma...☺️...) but for Shao Zuo, he is very caring and awe-inspiring, and he also knows the sense of proportion. He is a personality that always comes to rescue nervously, and after making sure that Shao Zuo is safe, he stands aside in silence. "I miss you all." "I will be sad if you don't speak." Such words cannot be said. But on the boat, Shao Zuo said: You have always been enforcing the law, are you sent to kill me? He said: Don't tell me, how could it be possible. It's very intriguing here, I feel like saying that I will complete 99% of the tasks, and the only one who won't obey orders is to kill you.
Togusa was the most failed casting. Everyone must like Dogusa very much. He is a human being and he has a family. He is kind and kind, and he won't be as indifferent as the rest of the team. It is also the latest to join the team, so it has always been relatively humble. The most beautiful part of the animation is that he felt his shortcomings after a mission and practiced shooting after returning. Shao Zuo came and said: I am not asking you to shoot accurately (otherwise, you can find a few more Saito.) , Why not do something good at (--investigation and thinking from a human perspective). In the film, he feels a bit hideous and arrogant, which is disappointing.
4. Small details
In fact, although the big frame routines, some details are still very interesting. To say that the young man in the animation is actually quite frivolous in many cases. For example, he opened a room with a boy when he was avoiding, and he came out naked after taking a bath, and he was still lying naked with the boy on the bed, which made the boy couldn’t help but ask. Whether she has sexual ability, she turned around naked and smirked and asked if you want to try. This feeling is actually very Scarlett, but in the movie, she completely constrained this point, even deliberately hunched back and walked like a man, and deliberately added some robot feeling: turning is a right angle to walk, even reflected in performance, Preparing to "apply medicine" to myself is an established procedure. I take it out and shake it with inertia. Then my Ghost notices, interrupts, and then decides to throw it away. There is also the appearance of cats and the appearance of Oshii Mamoru’s favorite Bajido, adding some feelings and warmth.
In general, I think it’s not fair to look at the movie harshly after watching the animation. After all, the emotions established for the Ghost in the Shell series are slowly formed from the TV version and the theater version. And a Hollywood movie faces many new audiences, which is actually a big challenge, and there are too many commercial considerations. In this case, in the end we gained a sophisticated visual experience, a face with perfect details, and a geisha who was actually taken here but was carefully designed. There are many, many, these are very satisfying. Isn't it harvest?
