For movies like Ghost in the Shell, I have always loved and hated it. I love the deep thought excavation, and hate that even if I like it very much, it is difficult to calm down and watch it in one breath.
The first time I watched it, I gave up halfway through it. Later, I pulled him out from the depths of the hard drive, and then read the first half, because I had a lot of understanding, I felt hearty. But the second half of the old problem was made again, and the thinking could not keep up with the changes of the plot, and even had to stop again and again, and divide it into extremes.
The soundtrack of Ghost in the Shell is breathtaking. In terms of setting off the environment, promoting the development of the plot, and deepening the theme and characters, I personally think that it has reached the pinnacle in animation. A few long shots silently watching the lives of Major and Bart, very much like film masters, I am afraid there is no one else who dares to give long shots and monologues in cartoons.
In terms of themes, I have to say that the part where the puppet master applied for political asylum and thought he was a living being had already shocked me. What exactly is life and what is the difference between life and non-life? An individual that relies on human thinking to put into a machine body can be considered life, so when an individual conceived from the Internet, when combined with a machine body, is there any essential difference from life?
As for the major's choice, it feels more reasonable, unexpected, to use this method to find the meaning of one's own life, and at the same time to give others an answer to the meaning of life, isn't it just a perfect combination with the theme? But what exactly is life?
Still have to rely on their own exploration, there is no standard cognition.
