It's not surprising that you can see anything in it. Strong philosophical thinking and a grand world view are the themes that Japanese comics like and are good at, but it is rare to expand as deeply and richly as this one. However, the speculation is too heavy, and even requires the audience to pause and think from time to time, losing some coherence. This type of film with mythical worries always reveals a dark and shady apocalypse. While worrying about the distortion of the so-called "civilization" in the age of technology, the weakness of human nature or the loss of human self, at the same time, it gives clones, bio-humans and even robots sensual softness and addiction. If the development of civilization is for the comfort of life, and if the most important connotation of life is the extension of human nature, then what is the essential difference between whether it is carried by human life or continued by synthetic organic matter or even peptide alloy machinery? ! In the final analysis, it is just a pretense of the arrogant thinking of "human supremacy". Because the derivative development of all civilizations so far is the continuous reduction of human natural attributes and desires. Since we have been gradually moving away from getting rid of animal nature, the so-called "human nature" is nothing more than a mirror reflection of social nature. To put it bluntly, in the post-modern era where religion is gradually collapsing, human nature is not enough to become a belief.

    The existence of carbon-based life is just a means for a program (DNA) to continuously replicate and fission itself to ensure immortality. This view is shocking. We do our best to reproduce, not to pass on "my genes," but genes that control our body as a vehicle to pass on itself. Everyone is just a container of genes.

Ghost in the Shell quotes

  • Puppet Master: We have been subordinate to our limitations until now. The time has come to cast aside these bonds and to elevate our consciousness to a higher plane. It is time to become a part of all things.

  • Major Motoko Kusanagi: There are countless ingredients that make up the human body and mind, like all the components that make up me as an individual with my own personality. Sure I have a face and voice to distinguish myself from others, but my thoughts and memories are unique only to me, and I carry a sense of my own destiny. Each of those things are just a small part of it. I collect information to use in my own way. All of that blends to create a mixture that forms me and gives rise to my conscience. I feel confined, only free to expand myself within boundaries.
