People are seeking the unchangeable part of oneself, whilist the rheologic behavior of mankind denies its existance, leaving only the coherence of consciousness. These topics: dualism, creationism, Laplace's demon, Ship of Theseus paradox, social class barrier, humanity, gender identity issue Motoko can have a male cyborg instead of a female one etc have been emphasized and discussed here in the GitS franchise as a major philosophic and anthropology lines, which shape one of the 4 typical features of cyberpunk arts.
By the way, try giving a serious thought to this dark hypothesis that the individuality of 'you' the ego is actually generated by your body senses and mind, which might not be the real you. The real 'you' is unconsciously trapped in the Shell, guarded by the ego. The more you pursue your own identity, the real 'you' is more confined by it. This assumption has also been referred to by Puppet Master talking to major Motoko.
When asked about when will GitS era truly arrive and how similar will the near future be to that of Ghost in the Shell? The gender identity crisis, the duplication of human memory, the social class barrier, forming of monopolization, humanity issue, and the advanced cyborgs, just look at Boston Dynamics's Petman and other anthropomorphic robots like Bina and Siri AI and you will be thrilled at how fast the real world is marching towards Cyberpunk universe.
It seems the live-action movie has restored a lot scenes from old anime. The detailed birth of Major Motoko, which indicates the identity-finding topic will be placed in live-action. Hopefully the Motoko swimming part will also be included:. Right after knowing GitS live-action film adaptation , I repelled the choice of staring Scarlett Johansson as the leading role Major Kusanagi, not because of the heated ethnicity as criticized as 'the next whitewashed main role in the Hollywood', but aesthetic fatigue.
I was expecting a tall, thin, young cyborg instead of a medium build, middle aged. Though the film is at present receiving harsh critics like 'ruining legendary anime film and giving Asian roles to mediocre white actors', 'the GitS anime contains way better techs than live action', there are two things we should appreciate: Weta workshop visual and Oshii's effort philosophies.
From the newly released extended trailer and from the theaters, we can make sure that one thing at least has done right 'visually' - thanks to Weta workshop's robot prototype and all the solid effects, but it seems that the philosophies and all the rich complex existential themes are gone for the dumb and the adaption has lowered to a typical Hollywood superhero movie.
The question concerning finding the real meaning of existance and oneself was tricked into finding the social identity. How can Oshii neglect the most crucial element of a Cyberpunk movie?
