The settings that have been tampered with in the shell

With the mentality of taking a look at the classic scene IMAX, the result is still gratifying. After all, Scarlett Shao Zuo’s live-action character set a big hit, the first part of the theatrical version, the second part, and some classic elements of the TV version are all out of the country. However, since it is intentional to make a hodgepodge, the depth of the theme has been flattened, and it has shrunk greatly. In order to write something that has more universal value and is easier for the audience to understand without the basics of the Ghost in the Shell series, some strange settings have also been forcibly implanted. The following is a diehard who has watched the entire series of imaging. Set Tucao.

----------------------------- The following begins to spoiler, the slippery hand comes in, now it’s too late to escape, the
main cornerstone of the film is to enjoy the international The 95 theatrical version of "Ghost in the Shell" directed by the prestigious Mamoru Oshii also uses the setting of the "Puppet Master" implanted in memory to control the electronic brain as a clue to the film. However, it must be said that the actualization of the "puppet master" is a terrible idea, so that the discussion on the "Ghost" and "Shell" issues is greatly weakened. Originally, the "puppet master" was a procedure under the "2501 Plan" of Public Security Sixth Class. Like Shao Zuo, it was only a tool without self. After awakening, as a "Ghost" completely independent of "Shell", its will and motivation are the essence of the 95 theater version, and the fusion of the ending film and the "Puppet Master" can be described as splendid.


It’s just that the hacker is a real person, which is more helpful to understand the plot. He also forcibly inserted this identity into the handsome and popular character "Kisei Hero" in the "Individual Eleven" that appeared in the TV version of the second SAC 2nd GIG . Obviously because the hero, as a childhood friend of Shao Zuo's childhood friend, can make a difference on the emotional line. But this kind of behavior of allowing the two main characters to fit together at will still makes people look very responsive.


Of course, the director did not completely abandon the difficult part of Shao Zuo's self-doubt in the original work, and continued her existential exploration and exile of herself. But the logic of making a special trip out of the street to find a street girl is really strange. Therefore, the living human in Shao Zuo's eyes is a street girl who she has no knowledge of. Capture series of human nature has always been to play Tuo Ragusa ah, see Part II Movie innocence . Maybe I want to use the scenes of young girls playing virtual sex in the comics as a selling point, and I want to play a side ball.



In addition, Shao Zuo's Japanese mother is still alive, and the signified small pavilion rages on, making the director's intentions clear. All the self-exploration must return to the family, return to love, with the home of the family, Shao Zuo is no longer confused, so American, and so universal, it is difficult to swallow. Well, so the long-time hero set up such a dark handsome man to have to witness the stupid little pavilion of their green memories on his chest "pattern". It may be that English is not good, and I have no idea how Shao Zuo and Jiushi Hero came to the small pavilion and were taken away for human experimentation. Compared with SAC 2nd GIG , who became the only second survivor of a plane crash when he was a middle-aged child, the whole body is prostheticized and Kazuya Kose's version is set to be the fetal prostheticization of ARISE border:1 Ghost Pain . The villain and decent, can there be a more genre and more routine script writing than this?

Therefore, there was no clear villain and no emotional clues. The 95 theatrical "Ghost in the Shell" plot that was philosophically tortured throughout the story was strongly inserted into family affection, similar to love elements, and Hanka, who had almost no position in the original work, was inserted as the villain. The director is for the sake of the people. Originally, unmanned control of the thinking tank with independent thinking (otherwise how would it be called the thinking tank), it was changed to Hanka's high-level human control. As a result, Shao Zuo’s tension against the chariot was greatly reduced. Due to the man’s manipulation of the chariot, the deterrence and fear it brought was far inferior to the bloodthirsty and tyrannical thinking chariot in the theater version without “humanity”. The philosophies brought about by the confrontation between "thinking machines" and "prosthetized humans" are also eliminated by the movie version. It is probably because of the classification, even the bloody tyranny has been greatly reduced, without the pain caused by the physical tearing. The effect will be there. Finally, I have to complain about the tree of life on the wall in this classic scene, which was changed to a small pavilion + a real big tree here. It seems that the thinking about the evolution direction of human beings at the top of evolution has been completely replaced by the core of the family. In order to emphasize Shao Zuo's human attributes, she has also planted a lost bond between her and the creator, and all kinds of fall into the quarrel.




In addition, it is necessary to talk about the trailer of the film and other TV version and theatrical version of the elements.
Disguised as a big boss, the hero of the ages, and obviously substituted into the "Individual Eleven" story of linking refugees, but after watching the drama, you know that this is behind the scenes of Hanka. But if you see the TV version of the heroes of the ages, you will definitely walk into the movie theater and pay for it. After all, Hanka as a big villain won't get any original support, and it's not about attracting fans.



The puppet robot is completely soy sauce. The appearance design is basically for the sake of curiosity, not to deepen the theme at all. It combines the traditional geisha look of STAND ALONE COMPLEX in the first season of TV and the setting of holding hostages, inheriting the open face of the innocent neutral robot and the sentence save me. But no matter how cool the design is, it's a cannon fodder in minutes. The intention of cutting into the trailer couldn't be more obvious.




It turns out that the Leap of Faith in the 95 theatrical version of "Ghost in the Shell" and the fight with the garbage truck driver in the mirror image should have the best overall effect and the highest degree of reproduction. The opening paragraph of Shao Zuo's creation is obviously also quite meticulous, roughly combining the 95 theatrical version of "Ghost in the Shell" and the visual presentation of innocence . Unfortunately, there is no "Puppet Ballad" full of discordant intervals. This song only appears at the end of the film. In fact, this piece is not original by Kenji Kawai. If you are interested, you can experience Svatba performed by the Bulgarian choir.




There are other animation elements scattered in the film, which are also more lovable, such as Batsang’s Bajido. The police laboratory staff who smoked in innocence , the typist’s prosthetic hands and so on. But I don’t have much to say about Dogusa and the monkey being made like that. The origins of Bart’s righteous eyes are undoubtedly superfluous, just to be so embarrassed, so amended like this? It is better to spend more pen and ink to write about Bart and Shao Zuo. The film is not without such passages, but neither the long-time hero nor Batsang's two emotional lines are pale and weak. So that in the end, Shao Zuo and the long-time hero You Nong Nong are low-level and dull.




All in all, this deep-core animated series has been transformed into a sci-fi genre film wrapped in a cyberpunk coat, with a contest between good and evil, emotional clues of the hero and heroine, and the main theme of the family. But it’s better than nothing. I hope that more people will be interested in watching the TV version of Supervisor Kenji Kamiyama and the two theatrical masterpieces of Mamoru Oshii and even the original manga through this movie.
