A little longer than a short review

You can watch it for the second time, the third time, and the fourth time... Because the first time you can only feel it, you can only see and understand it later. As for communication, it is a later matter.

Not at all friendly to new users, especially female users like me.

The information density is very high!
The characters that come to you, the storyline that develops rapidly, the lines that speak words, the display of the ubiquitous new world setting - the whole world needs your fast-moving brain to recognize and accept.
Coupled with realistic to meticulous painting, plus a strong style of rendering the atmosphere - it is almost suffocating.

The pace is so fast!
The whole experience of watching the movie is that the speed of my brain cannot keep up with the rhythm of the movie. At the end of Follow Me, I remembered that when the curtain call was black, I could only sit on the sofa in a daze, hearing the question of "how do you think" in my ears, but I was speechless for a long time. Procrastinating directors and screenwriters could have taken longer to tell the story, no exaggeration.
But you also have to admit that this rhythm is not the same as cool.
I don't know if watching II without watching I exacerbated this feeling. However, repetition is meaningful. Our brains are magical. Gradually, you can receive these plots and fragments and gradually flatten this world that is different from the real world. However, an hour and a half later, the story is nearing the end.



But even so, it's understandable why everyone is obsessed.

Great questions to set and discuss!
Man and machine, soul and body, life and death. Definitions and divisions are again questioned. Reminds me of a point from Out of Control. I don't dare to say more, I think it takes a few more readings to really see this part.

Such a strong personal style!
That ghostly interlude, both in tune and in lyrics, is horrifying to listen to; coupled with those depictions of no-sovereignty, it's an indescribable horror. I can't think of anyone who is better at visualizing and audibly visualizing this atmosphere than him - as if being soaked in a large jar of formalin solution, and watching the movie is the pale corpse. , the liquid is saturating the immobile you everywhere.
The color of the picture is not rich, the ambient light flashes on the face of the character, everyone has no expression, or some robots have limited expressions... These have widened the distance between you and the world, The characters' habit of citing scriptures makes the uncertainty of the lines rise sharply. This ambiguity and ambiguity increase the cost of communication and understanding.
In addition, the details of the female robot image delicately portrayed in it, which should have been very feminine parts, strengthened the masculine side of the film.




No matter which angle, on this scale with "cater" and "expression" at both ends, the slider is so close to the latter without hesitation; but instead it received the best "cater" effect.

Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence quotes

  • 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?

  • Bateau: Still with me, pal?

    Togusa: [with his head between his hands, looking to the floor] All I could see... were my wife and daughter's faces.

    Bateau: That wasn't your wife or daughter. It was Death.
