    Profound and obscure, discussing philosophical and religious topics in the form of animation, and the "dualism of separation of soul and flesh" related to self-awareness... The ending of the combination of Motoko and the puppet master, which no longer exists, makes me a little uneasy. Although I personally feel that the plot is too thin and the complexity is not enough to watch at all - but it can also be regarded as an advantage? The profound thinking and exquisite pictures have been achieved...

    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...

    Like a bridge connecting Blade Runner and The Matrix. The authenticity of memory and the difference between humans and machines discussed are all clichés, but the beauty of "Battling in the Shell" is the sense of loneliness. The story is set in Hong Kong, and the mixed and cramped urban environment fits naturally with the cyberpunk style. In addition to the fierce and exciting action scenes, the visual presentation of philosophy has reached a pure beauty. This is the ultimate dance of thought...

    The significance of this cartoon has gone beyond the shock of what it shows, so many people hailed it as the greatest Japanese animation film. Indeed, the avant-garde idea of ​​this animation, which was born in 1995, has already led many colleagues in the world. The philosophy it expresses is worth thinking about and is very inspiring. As for being called the mother of the Matrix, it is indeed worthy of the name. The latter borrows too much from...

    The sci-fi world depicted by Mamoru Oshii using animation techniques is full of philosophical thoughts on the search for the origin of life. This is a masterpiece that can make people think and marvel from the beginning to the end. The darkness in "Ghost in the Shell" is the base color The fusion of the urban streetscape and the charming dreamland is a very meaningful reference to our current development, and the technology brings people to never abandon...

    An animated interpretation of the "Brain in a Vat" proposition

    The theatrical version of "Ghost in the Shell" that I watched late at night had the gloomy and hopeless atmosphere lingering. Although "Attack" cannot reach the height of "2001 A Space Odyssey" in exploring the most fundamental philosophical issues of mankind, as an 80-minute cartoon, "Attack" is...

    tree of life, organism, the border of extinction

    Motoko Kusanagi is a metaphor for us in the 21st century. The cyborg's body has no boundaries, it flows, changes, is crushed, and reborn from the dirt and ashes. This flow constitutes our way of being.

    In 1985, Donna Haraway published A Cyborg Manifesto: Science, Technology, and Socialist Feminism...

Ghost in the Shell quotes

  • Puppet Master: I refer to myself as an intelligent life form because I am sentient and I am able to recognize my own existence, but in my present state I am still incomplete. I lack the most basic processes inherent in all living organisms: reproducing and dying.

    Major Motoko Kusanagi: But you can copy yourself.

    Puppet Master: A copy is just an identical image. There is the possibility that a single virus could destroy an entire set of systems and copies do not give rise to variety and originality. Life perpetuates itself through diversity and this includes the ability to sacrifice itself when necessary. Cells repeat the process of degeneration and regeneration until one day they die, obliterating an entire set of memory and information. Only genes remain. Why continually repeat this cycle? Simply to survive by avoiding the weaknesses of an unchanging system.

  • Major Motoko Kusanagi: You talk about redefining my identity. I want a guarantee that I can still be myself.

    Puppet Master: There isn't one. Why would you wish to? All things change in a dynamic environment. Your effort to remain what you are is what limits you.
