Verse

Life and death come and go, shed head puppets, when the line is broken, they fall apart. Author/ [Japan] Yuean Zongguang

Verse

生死の去来するは、 shedtono puppet たり. When the line breaks, you will be left alone.

Yuean Zongguang

In "Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence", a lot of famous quotes are quoted, from Confucius to the Bible, from Roman Roland to Richard Dawkins, from Gogol to Asimov...

However, the most eye-catching among them is this Buddhist verse:

Director Oshii Mamoru gave it a full screen barrage.

These 16 words are also the main purpose of the film: soul and body.

Tsukian Zongguang is an eminent monk of Rinzai sect in Japan. He has a profound influence on Noh drama master Seami. In the Noh theoretical work "Flower Mirror", Shiami used these few sentences to mention Chinese puppet theater to illustrate the essentials of Noh art. In the puppet theater, the puppets make various movements, dance and fight, just like living people, but once the line is stopped or broken, the puppets lose control and become useless.

Similarly, in Noh performances, the actors wear masks like puppets. The actor's performance is also controlled by the line. Shiami believes that the line is the "heart": to permeate every action on the stage in a state of detachment that he does not intend to perceive. This is "intention."

The "early heart" that has been used frequently in recent years is also from Shi Ami's "Flower Mirror". The original saying is: the main theme of this school is the phrase "omnipotent and one virtue", and the original heart cannot be forgotten. His "initial heart" is not a simple word, it is divided into several levels:

The original heart of right and wrong cannot be forgotten. Time 々's original heart cannot be forgotten. The original heart of the old queen cannot be forgotten.

Whether it is at the very beginning (when it is right and wrong), or in daily behavior (time and time), or after old age. "Chu" is not only the original primordial beginning, but also a primordial beginning that accumulates in the process, just like not having a flower, not the accumulation of original buds.

"An open flower" is the highest state of Noh art of Seamito. The ultimate is called "Miaohuafeng". "The so-called'flower' is the freshness felt in the hearts of the audience...No matter what it is, it will never wither and stay on the branch forever."

However, behind the human body, there is also a clue to control fate. This is also the question that Shaozuo constantly reflects in "Ghost in the Shell": What is the self? What is life?

A person who loses his original intention is no different from a disconnected puppet.

Finally, the words "Luo Leilei" can be traced back to Lao Zi and Chu Ci. The 20th chapter of Laozi's "Tao De Jing": I am alone, like a baby without a child. If there is nowhere to go. "Xianghuixi", Chen Gu should be annotated as "...that is, Leilei, Luoluo, Luoluo, all double-sound synonyms.'Leilei Xi' means that Luoluo is not a group, and there is no place to rely on."

In "The Songs of the Chu·Nine Songs·Mountain Ghosts", it is "picking three beautiful sights in the mountains, and Shi Leilei looking at Ge Manman."

In this verse, "Luo Leilei" is the appearance of machines and puppets, without the soul, all kinds of parts have fallen to the ground.

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.
