How to understand "Ghost in the Shell" more deeply? Knowing that 832 users agree • Soul in the Shell "Ghost in the Shell" English name "Ghost in the Shell" is taken from "Ghost in the Shell" However, it will disrupt the colors of the other sides, unless you have a perception beyond the three-dimensional scale, so the optimal expectation is only to transfer the loopholes from the key position to the secondary position; if the loopholes can be reduced , Then this system architect is already like a god; eliminating all loopholes in the complex system can only be the job of the creator himself, and it seems that he can’t handle it. For a system, what is important is not the ability to check errors, nor the ability to correct errors, but the ability to tolerate faults. Increasing the fault tolerance of the system must increase the redundancy of the system. The two cannot be achieved at the same time, so the final result is a robust system rather than a "beautiful" system. "All the bright precious things fade so fast", beautiful things are fragile and perishable. The central nervous system prefers single and extreme stimuli, just like the characters in literary works are always distinctive and angular, but in reality However, people are not so extreme. Everyone’s personality is the integration of countless personalities. Everyone’s self is a fragment assembled by will. Everyone’s genes accumulate the memories of countless generations of ancestors. The mediocre people admire Faust’s famous saying: "Ah, there are two souls coexisting in my chest!" However, the human soul is more than divided into two, it is the Stand Alone composed of thousands of discrete information. Complex system, so as another Shao Zuo said, the essence of man is more like a fortress, a moving territory, with a tyrant of will ruling the people composed of countless personalities. • The memory of path bifurcation is the most deceptive for an individual. It makes people feel that time is reversible. However, memory is not a restoration of the past, but a reconstruction of the past. Otherwise, each of us The brain is a time machine. Memory is a fantasy of the past that is generated through key nodes. It is essentially similar to a dream. The materials used in each memory image are selected from your current experience. Each memory is a new creation. People always project certain current experiences into the past, and often subconsciously shape the memories of the past according to their own imagination; people are like constantly changing actors to perform the same scene, trying to find the original touch. The shock of the first performance can never be reproduced. Human beings just exist alone at the node of "now", and then see the illusions of "past" and "future" at the same time, nothing exists except "now". • As the world of will and appearance, "You and I are like looking through a mirror, and what you see is nothing but illusion." Motoko said that she felt "fear, worry, loneliness, darkness, and maybe hope in the water", so Bart asked rhetorically "Hope? On the dark seabed?" So this is a metaphor about the human condition-if the above and below the sea surface are interpreted as noumenon and reality, then the human situation is like a mayfly on the dark seabed, This nihility and hardship of existence is absolute; the world we experience is only indirect after all, just like the projection of ontology (the world of phenomena can also be regarded as the projection of ontology into low-dimensional space), all experience is first transformed into Neural signals are only then known to us; therefore, people do not know the real body behind the veil, but only live in the world as the appearance. The "hope" that Suzi saw corresponds to the words of the puppet master later: "I am connected to a huge network (ontology), and I am only a small part of it. For you who have not yet experienced contact, Maybe it can only be perceived as a ray of light." The subject’s perception of the ontology is like the sunlight that Mozi sees through the water when she floats to the surface. This experience when connected to the ontology is called "happiness", which is different from the "pleasure" produced by intention. . According to Wittgenstein, this water surface is the "logical boundary", that is, the boundary of the self: it is the moment before touching the water surface that Motozi sees the reflection of self, as if people can only touch Describe one's own shape with the boundary of oneself; breaking through this level of water will reach an unspeakable state and complete sobriety. This process of floating to the surface is a metaphor for the ascending of the soul. It can be seen that Mozi possessed this transcendental attribute from the beginning, so he would repeat the habits of "diving" and "floating" in the subconscious. It also heralded the end of Motozi's rise to the realm of the other side through the combination with the puppet master. • The noise of the symbol The huge airplane silhouette is a lens symbol preferred by Mori Oshii, which embodies overwhelming technical power through the senses. The story of "Ghost in the Shell" takes place in an aerial city-"Xingang", this city is undoubtedly based on Hong Kong: all kinds of disorderly signs, random advertising bills, bustling vegetable market, and standard Mandarin can be heard. The dubbing hawker is yelling (seemingly a 2.0 new change)... The playback of various abstract symbols in a disorderly manner, like a murmur, speaks of the meaninglessness of the world. Starting from "Blade Runner", this Asian element is the iconic symbol of cyberpunk themes. It is basically because they feel that if the future world is still Eurocentrism like modern times, it will be very boring. In addition, it is the psychological cause of the yellow peril. And always feel that Asian culture is very mysterious. So William Gibson said: "Modern Japan simply was cyberpunk.'' • Take advantage of the breath of life to linger "Take advantage of the breath of life to linger, tell me what you feel; on the eve of my marching to the other side of the twelve winds and embarking on an endless journey." The question of the ancient ship of Theseus leads to the essence of my own existence. Doubts. As Motoko said, maybe Kusanagi Motoko was dead when it was transfigured. The current Kusanagi Motoko is just a completely unrelated stranger who has the memory of the real "me" in the past. It's just a machine. With the virtual personality formed by the electronic brain, she has the habits and behaviors inherited from the past, so she behaves the same to the outside world as before. However, this question is meaningless after all, because once thinking about this question is equivalent to introducing another more desperate question: that is, there has never been a real "I". Human beings are renewing the cells in the body all the time, and the raw materials to produce these new cells come from the food you have transformed, so the food you eat will become a part of you; the reason why people still feel conscious about themselves The reason for continuity is that human neurons no longer replace once they mature. However, the price for this is the deteriorating intelligence with age. Human beings are in such a process of flux, and the so-called stable "self" does not exist at all. "A man dies in a day, and this is a dream. A dream is a premonition of death, and death is a sister of a dream." Every sleep is a death, so people often feel like yesterday, because death dissolves all meaning. As the puppet master said: "You expect to keep the ego, which has been restricting you." The only thing people can expect is that there is a certain constant pattern in this flow. The body and the whole world of phenomena are just The embodiment and extension of this will itself, which is the definition of "soul", is like the wind from the other side of the twelve-fold high heaven. • The final battle in the museum is shrouded in a solemn atmosphere, which is the final settlement between man and machine; close-ups of a large number of weapons and detailed descriptions of tanks show a kind of arms control and body control. taste. The machine gun swept past, smashing the ancient fish fossils. It was the feat of fish landing on land that completed the first attempt to surpass their own existence in the history of biological evolution; the machine gun smashed the tree of evolution and stopped. In front of the "human" species, this may be a metaphor for the questioning and enlightenment of the mechanical gods to humans: all the conditions are already in place, and the time for humans to surpass their own existence has arrived, just like fish on the land, humans will pass through and machine The fusion of transcends the inherent barriers of the flesh to reach a new realm. Moko tried to rely on himself at the end I tried to open the top cover of the thinking tank, and the result became fragmented. Firstly, it explained the source of the nickname "Mother Orangutan"; secondly, since the internal structure of the prosthetic body has been set, if the audience is not allowed to see Isn't it meaningless? So Motozi must be fragmented, because if the internal machine is not exposed, people will easily forget that this body is not a real body, and this scene has become a classic freeze frame in the history of cyberpunk, where the machine and the body are intertwined. Cables and connectors extend from the ends of the severed limbs. This has become a symbol of cyberpunk. Therefore, all the posters that appear alone are naked and severed-if you wear clothes, at least that’s Get BCI. • Entity and virtual image 2. 0 In addition to adding some innocent 3D paragraphs, the most important change should be to replace the voice actors of the puppet masters with females (Yyoko Sakahara, who is also the CV of the thatched prime minister in GIS). This is In order to completely cut off the speculation that the original puppet master and Suzi are in love between men and women. Yes, lily is indeed divine. The puppet master said, "I saw myself in you", "It's just like a physical and a virtual image." The similarity between them is that they have never experienced the shackles of the flesh. I remember that Suzi’s original setting seemed to have been prostheticized from birth, or according to the TV version, she was also completely transformed at a very young age, so she hardly formed a mature self to experience the body, and When the personality was fixed, she found that she was already in the machine, like a ghost in a shell. So Motozi is different from ordinary humans from the beginning, just like the puppet master forming the ego (disordered code) in the ocean of cyberspace, Motozi also floats in the machine-made shell to form the self. Looking at himself. Suzi has always been an ambiguous person: she is not a philosopher but a realist, but she has doubts about existence imprinted deep in her heart. As a result, all actions in reality are not affected, just like a complete dualism of mind and body. ; She is very aware of the limitations of justice, but does not hesitate to get her hands dirty for it. She always feels that she is just taking the work within the system as passing time; she has always acted as a watchdog of the system and hunting down puppet masters. It was just a political event and had no metaphysical meaning; however, in the end, the people in this system actually picked up gods, and even surpassed the existence of human beings. This completely does not conform to the principle of the drama, it is like a machine descending from the gods. Move the soul to the city. Different dimension hackers. Attack the shell. The human body is made up of countless components, and these components at the same time constitute a unique personality. Of course, my face and voice are different from others, but my memory is unique to me, and I also have my own destiny, which is only a small part of it. , I also have a personal way of collecting and consulting, and combining these forms my personal and my concept of good and evil. Although I feel restricted, I can stretch myself out of restraint.
