Shell attack in my eyes: sadness and illusion

The female voice of FOLLOW ME is melodious and beautiful.

WHO IS THE INNOCENT ONE?

Everyone in this world is guilty, so God let go of his palm and let the world live alone.

We are all abandoned children, so we will panic, be lonely, and be at a loss.



There are many people who have seen The Matrix, but there are many people who know that the Matrix is ​​the original attack on the shell. From the overall concept, environment, to style, hackers have a strong atmosphere of attacking the shell. Personal guess is not a performance of exhaustion, but the two brothers’ highest respect for and attacking the shell made them deliberately reveal the attacking shell in the dark. Mark of. With such a memory, it seems that even the letters in the opening screen of the attack were copied as a classic screen of The Matrix:)

Motozi is a hard-hearted woman, and I always think so. But a woman is a woman after all, she cannot give up her memories, she cannot give up her obsession with the past. So after changing the prosthesis countless times, I still chose the female body, with the old watch on the small wrist. When she burned the electronic brain that the mechanical engineer injected into the fighter, when she had to wipe off the only memory that the father of Taqikum had left on the children, when she smiled tenderly at Bart, everything It doesn't matter anymore. Some people say that Motoko is like Ayanami, and she once felt that she was a body full of soul, and she shed tears indifferently, saying, "If I die, someone will replace me." But in the end they all stood up, using their own consciousness to fight against the destiny imposed on themselves. In the end, Ayanami assimilated into the universe, and Motozi also lost the body of material form, but this is a drama, not a tragedy.

I don't want to talk about 9 lessons, I don't want to talk about the righteous people, I don't want to talk about AI, and all the decorations are removed. The topic of attacking the shell finally returns to Oshii Mamoru's understanding of human nature. People are animals that can never fully understand each other, so people will be lonely and sad. People are always trying to stretch out their tentacles, then get injured, scarred, and repeatedly. How is it alive, what about dead? People create human-shaped AI to comfort themselves, and fear the unexpected development of AI and even want to eliminate them. The personalization of AI makes people's original control status worthless, and people regret it. People always want to stand on high and look down contemptuously. Cowardice, hesitation, fear, and despair combine into an undercurrent, and an emotion that wants to escape or destroy this unreliability arises at the historic moment. It is strange that while humans are constantly updating highly self-intelligent AIs to satisfy their own desires, while humans themselves are gradually being replaced by mechanization, they are powerless and needlessly resist. Forget who said that there is only one way in this world. Human beings abandon their bodies and become AIs. It's a bit sad, isn't it.


A friend said meaningfully that Bart is the protagonist of the attack. I didn't believe it before, but now I believe it. Master Oshii didn't know if he had anticipated his rise, or if everything was in his curtain? If it is the latter, I take it. If Hideaki Anno is a post-modern PIONEER, and Otomo Katsuhiro is the bearer of fate, then Oshii Mamoru can only be described as an old philosopher who is scheming. From mobile police to 95 attack on the shell, STAND ALONE COMPLEX and the rear part, which was produced as a TV because of the warm welcome of anime fans, are all because of Oshii’s understanding of the philosophy of life. Human beings have been trying to create a better world, but behind the better world is often more and more ugly human nature. (Suddenly it seems to be what Bacon said: All human behaviors are for the pursuit of happiness.)




Ghost in the Shell is not a romantic drama, so we don't talk about love, never.
But it's not that there is no love in the shell.
Such as Bart.

What is the relationship between him and Suzi, the friendship of comrades-in-arms? Subordinates' sense of obedience to their boss? Love between men and women? It seems that everything is stuck on the side, and nothing can be explained. The tacit understanding and trust between them cannot be replaced and understood by anyone. Soko doesn't talk about love, everyone knows this, but in Attack 2 he unexpectedly designed a childhood love with the rebel leader for Suzi, but everyone who has seen it should remember the one who saved the two who were buried in the ruins. The man, the man who carried a heavy steel cross for Suzi in the setting sun, was Bart.


Bart understands that the days when he can stand quietly beside Shao Zuo will not last long. Her existence may be like fireworks to Barthes, very beautiful, but she will take the wind away at any time, Mo Zi has never been his, and will not be in the future. Bart chose to obey. Even though it is sometimes difficult to understand Suzi's indifference, he is still the man who quietly stood behind Suzi and put on her coat.

In the final scene of "Innocent", "part of" Moko, who was downloaded from the satellite into the doll, said to Bart expressionlessly, I'm always there. Bart’s profile was buried in the darkness, silent, and did not even say goodbye.

Indeed, there is no need to see each other anytime, but never see each other.

    The righteous person who is half-human and half-machine falls into a lost circle of reincarnation. Only the "super-body" element that appears near the end of the film is precise, certain, smooth, and clear, and she is not blocked or confused at all, as quoted in the film. The Buddha's words are the same as "I walk alone in the world, my heart is self-purifying, I have no desires and no desires, like an elephant in a forest." This 2004 film is the pinnacle of animation in terms of pictures, storyboards, editing, music, or stories.

    Watched it many times. Masculine charm doesn't need a look, just two bottle caps are enough.

Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence quotes

  • Major Motoko Kusanagi: We weep for a bird's cry, but not for a fish's blood. Blessed are those with a voice. If the dolls also had voices, they would have screamed, "I didn't want to become human."

  • [first title cards]: In a future time when most human thought has been accelerated by artificial intelligence and external memory can be shared on a universal matrix, Batou, an agent of the elite Section 9 Security Force and a being so artificially modified as to be essentially cyborg, is assigned, along with his mostly human partner, Togusa, to investigate a series of gruesome murders.
