      Ghost in the Shell--This is a Cyberpunk Movie

      "Whether it is a country or a collective, too much singleness will only lead to destruction." When we mention the "cyberpunk" style sci-fi films, the famous "Blade Runner" and the "Matrix" series of the era pioneered by the Wachowski sisters are often "head-to-head", but when we carefully review the "game" At the time of the development of...

      genetics of memory

      Human physical characteristics can be inherited and evolved from generation to generation through DNA, so can thoughts and memories be genetically evolved?

      Before the Internet age, it seemed that memory could only be confirmed and perpetuated through external books and education. Then in the era of the Internet and AI, when the electronic brain can connect to the Internet and obtain information at will, how can human beings realize the distinction between evolution and...

      [Ghost in the Shell]

      Ghost in the Shell

      It has been more than 20 years since the film was released. Many concepts and ideas may not be amazing today, but they were undoubtedly advanced 20 years ago. The visual effects are gorgeous, the soundtrack and interlude are shocking, and the lines and dialogues are very philosophical, full of the director's thinking on the relationship between human and machine. However, many image styles can still cause discomfort. For animated films, I still like the expression of soothing warmth.

      Not the original IP fans, watching for Scarlett, this movie is enough to satisfy curiosity and is worth spending time.

      Watching a movie adapted from a big IP is undoubtedly opening a door for myself that was once unnoticed, and when I walked into this door, I was deeply interested in the background of this comic-modified movie, but after all, I just entered the door, so don't be there. This is based on some immature understanding. From the perspective of fresh movies, the protagonist Scarlett can get a pass, and every highlight after that is added.

      I've already watched this film seven or eight years ago, and I still admire it today.

      The tone is very Blade Runner Hong Kong-style neighborhood as the imaginary foundation of the future civilian community space is the beginning of Blade Runner? And that's where the Matrix comes from? The theme song is very good. The discussion level of consciousness issues is very high, especially the self and emergence issues. On the one hand, many philosophical traditions are introduced. Will Caster is the OZ...

      I like cyberpunk, and I also admit that the idea of ​​this script is very open and deep, but what I hate is Japanese anime mixed with Western elements. The characteristic of this kind of Japanese anime is that each character has his own The inexplicable sense of superiority, the tone of speech, the body movements, etc., in my opinion, are particularly pretentious, the kind of posturing that is unique to Japanese characters. I'm also afraid that you don't understand the appearance of chattering...

      God made. The mirroring class just pulled the film frame by frame, and the design is too rigorous from a close-up perspective. The 3D technology in 1995 was not mature enough to draw frame by frame all kinds of pictures that can only be achieved by the 3D technology...

    • Puppet Master: It can also be argued that DNA is nothing more than a program designed to preserve itself. Life has become more complex in the overwhelming sea of information. And life, when organized into species, relies upon genes to be its memory system. So, man is an individual only because of his intangible memory... and memory cannot be defined, but it defines mankind. The advent of computers, and the subsequent accumulation of incalculable data has given rise to a new system of memory and thought parallel to your own. Humanity has underestimated the consequences of computerization.
