5 Rewatching the 4K restoration in theaters with friends is undoubtedly one of the most perfect movies in Japanese history, combining the entertainment of a commercial action blockbuster with Mamoru Oshii's philosophical reflection and deconstruction of soul and body. Although there are certainly masterpieces such as Akira and Werewolf in the animation of political metaphors, Jin Min's unrestrained imagination cannot be ignored, not to mention the typical EVA of stream of consciousness, but the great thing about Ghost in the Shell is that it retains its popularity to the public. The cop genre element also transcends its own limitations, with a distinctive aesthetic that remains breathtaking even 25 years apart (not to mention the fact that off-screen audiences are in the film’s run-down and charming Sin City in 2021. Prototype) and the famous words echoed by Motoko and the puppet master "whether individual or collective, too singleness will only lead to destruction." Whether it is regarded as a retrospective of past history, a warning to the present, or a prediction for the future, it is terrifying. The truth of fear.
