"Ghost in the Shell: Innocence" is very meaningful for moral thinking after the development of science and technology

Personally, I think the first part is better than the second one, the story of the first part is more compact, and the formalism of the deliberate pretense is not so heavy. I say this may be a bit nonsense, because this is a series of sci-fi works, and the director is also a person. That's right, in the second part, the performance of subjective theory is getting stronger and stronger.

For example, many sentences are said by Saito Green Rain.

First of all, I think Ghost in the Shell has made a very vivid reflection on the future of highly developed technology, which is very valuable. Although it often seems a bit negative and pessimistic. The tone of both films is relatively dark, and most of them are night scenes. Places with strong light are also often indoors.

It is hard to imagine such a society as a future manifestation if the detailed representation of the androids is removed. The urban ecosystem is infinitely magnified, detached from all nature, the middle and rear parts of the innocence are separated from nature in the steel Tallinn, and so many birds are added to the dark and no sunlight environment. Obviously, there are intentions that the director can express, whether it is just aesthetic modification. Either way, it is better to use life to set off the heaviness of mechanical civilization. The headquarters of a company is depicted as a church, and the details of the church are still steel factories. There is also some connotation of using religion to make things mysterious, although thinking is good. EVA is also engaged in this board.

Humans live in a more oppressive, crowded, and taller-looking environment than they are now. The masses live in low-quality buildings. Judging from the various interior depictions, everyone's standard of living basically belongs to the degenerate and dark version of the 1980s. There is also spare money to play with doll-shaped androids (from being able to challenge the protagonist, it can be seen that the performance and cost are not cheap, and it is for civilian use) It is a bit puzzling. Compared with the plot of the first part (Revolver + Browning...), in Innocence, the author often used the character's mouth to express his views directly, without taking into account too many characters.

The movie is very retro. This kind of retro is a bit detached from nature, such as innocence, using ritual music to describe a Chinese-style puppet parade with a lot of shots. The next hacker to look for lives in a western-style classical villa. The description in this section is quite meaningful, especially in many close-up shots, the heads of human-shaped objects are prominently displayed, and there are also group portraits, which give people a strong empty look, which is slow and chilling.

It has to be said that the worldview expressed by Ghost in the Shell is very personal, and it has also made many later films unsurpassed. For example, thinking about consciousness is separated from the objective body of human beings, and the body is regarded as a puppet. Amplify the existence of the spirit, and give people a concept that the world is idealized by technology, for example, everything can be faked.

People begin to wonder if everything is real and happened.

I think a lot of this thinking is worthwhile, but a good chunk of it is just crap.

All the energy that people now rely on to survive depends on the sun, and everything comes from there. The energy of the sun creates a natural system that is far more complex than the technology created by man in time and its tiny time. Such a system is very objective. In fact, all human science and technology must be based on nature and reflected in the original objective. It is only said that the birth of the earth has been 4 billion years. If we divide it into 24 hours to look at 4 billion years, life will only appear in ten minutes. During this period, more than 90% of species have gone extinct several times, 99.99 (many 9 Right) % of species are now extinct, and the earth is still alive and well. The conclusion is that human beings may not be as strong and important as imagined, and the odds of only human intelligence existing in the Milky Way are one in billions of billions. Despite our highly developed consciousness, the so-called "imperfect self-awareness creates a mutilated reality" is still nonsense.

Perhaps the appearance and disappearance of human beings is just a test tube of some wisdom. It is also uncertain. At least I can teach lessons for the new wisdom that will appear on Earth in the future. Because the sixth mass extinction has begun. Human life is only a few decades, and it doesn't feel obvious at all. In the history of the earth, millions of years are also very short. Our real high-level civilization has not been touched for such a long time. Perhaps after the material rises to the will, the speed of objective change will also change very quickly, which can make civilization sublime to another height in a short period of time. New possibilities for destruction.

The fact is that it is now the sixth mass extinction, and it may be our own.

It seems that what I have just discussed is a little too far. But many movies about the future still can't get rid of the human subjective style that is too idealistic.

Maybe this universe is really a server, and there are many servers running in parallel. But don't think so simply, because from the current physics, chemistry, mathematics and many other calculation rules, many things are still theories conceived based on the status quo. As cognition deepens, we can reach a more objective awareness.

This awareness is not even based on organics, which maintain the normal rules of the server. This kind of conscious thinking is beyond what we perceive subjectively, nor is it known by animals.

    The righteous person who is half-human and half-machine falls into a lost circle of reincarnation. Only the "super-body" element that appears near the end of the film is precise, certain, smooth, and clear, and she is not blocked or confused at all, as quoted in the film. The Buddha's words are the same as "I walk alone in the world, my heart is self-purifying, I have no desires and no desires, like an elephant in a forest." This 2004 film is the pinnacle of animation in terms of pictures, storyboards, editing, music, or stories.

    Watched it many times. Masculine charm doesn't need a look, just two bottle caps are enough.

Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence quotes

  • Bateau: [referring to the grenades thrown by the thug] Your little gifts exploded above my head. Even presuming they went off at their most lethal range, you think two grenades are going to off an armored cyborg? You insult me.

  • Lin: We got loyalty even in my line.

    Bateau: There's loyalty that protects secrets and loyalty that projects the truth. You cannot serve both masters, so which loyalty is yours?
