After watching the movie, I saw this classic work. The quality is incredible.

It is hard to imagine that it was a 1995 work, and the setting is perfect, and the picture will be perfectly displayed.

In addition, after watching the 1995 version, I realized that the movie should be a real-life doujin in the 1995 version (?)... including the colonel going down from a high building, the two brothers driving the garbage truck, and the runaway also wearing optics. Camouflage, the fight in the water is also very exciting, the Colonel's usual fun is diving... and the scene on the boat, the scene at the end of the battle.

The theme of the film is also very deep. What is the self? The reason why people are human is because of memory? shape? soul? ...GHOST?

There are a few lines in it that are quite classic, really amazing...

"Human DNA is just a program designed to store itself...Life is like a node born in an ocean of information..."

"DNA is to life what memory is to humans."

"Although memory itself is like a dream of nothingness, it is precisely with memory that humans exist."

However, the plot of the 1995 version is more complete than the movie. It is also more reasonable to describe the colonel’s self-doubts and the presentation of the plot, and the interaction between Lesson 9 and the colonel is more real.

By the way, this theme song is really nice.

    The spectacle displayed by Oshii Shou cannot be described in words, and words can only praise it, but cannot reproduce it properly. Praise the film, only the film can make the spectacle last forever, it is a flowing feast. Cinema is not the seventh art, it is the wonder of the world.

    After reading the original version, I found that the adaptation of the live-action version is still very American style, and it is completely in two directions. There is a lot of blank space but not obscure. In a smaller capacity, language can also be reduced, empty mirrors can be added, and the charm of the picture and sound can be maximized.

Ghost in the Shell quotes

  • Major Motoko Kusanagi: If we all reacted the same way, we'd be predictable, and there's always more than one way to view a situation. What's true for the group is also true for the individual. It's simple: Overspecialize, and you breed in weakness. It's slow death.

  • Major Motoko Kusanagi: If a technological feat is possible, man will do it. Almost as if it's wired into the core of our being.
