everything is me

The shells landed, echoed in the empty and dark hall, and suddenly returned to the rainy night of Blade Runner, the floating museum and blade runner blues were so similar to the loneliness and loneliness. Glass fragments fell from the dome, and successive bullets pierced through the human at the top of the evolutionary tree sculpture from ancient fossils. . Before she could recover, she used all her strength to pry the steel, her muscles were torn, the wires burst, and her body was like a broken butterfly. Through the lens, I miraculously felt the weight, the moment was extremely light, and the moment was extremely heavy. At first glance, it seemed that I had spent a century in that dark hall. Looking back, I found that this paragraph was only four minutes.

Compared with the replicator's violent struggle to survive, Motoko's eyes are empty and confused, she knows that she can always find the next body. But how to be sure that the next self, the core of the ever-changing self, is the self of this moment. The boat with a new deck is still the same boat it used to be. It is also the search for what "I" is. Duplicants embark on a battle with humans, while prosthetics can only endlessly fight against themselves. She found that life is a genetic program that resists time with "change" and "death", and the information of ontology annihilation persists forever.

"The abyss is looking back at you when you stare at the abyss", there is nothing more suitable as a footnote than the stare of Motoko and the puppet master. She became a puppet master, a smiling man. While each "I" stands alone, it will eventually be connected by a complex, "I" can be found nowhere, everywhere, and everything is "I".

    9.2 points, not so much science fiction as philosophy. After thinking about it for a long time, I still can't write a film review, because philosophy is too empty. People in 1995 can't understand it, and people in 2020 can't understand it because it's too far away from us ordinary people. The evaluation of "very advanced" is definitely correct.

    The setting is advanced, the art is exquisite, the music is seductive, and the continuous empty shots and the singing of "Puppet Ballad" cast a layer of mysterious poetry in the film. The length is very short, the story is extremely simple, and there is no character building. It can be said that it is a big stage and a small drama. I really don't like the practice of relying on characters to cite scriptures and collect books, and use a large number of lines to elevate the connotation of the film. I am not here to listen to the public class. . .

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.
