Definitely a movie for grown-ups, though, because the graphic violence may disturb kids and the philosophy will go right over their heads. The IMAX release of Ghost in the Shell will be digitally re-mastered. But it's not just show-off time, the visuals are tied in with the subject and leave the viewer time to reflect on the philosophical/sociological messages (like showing the cybernetic heroine look at tailors' dummies) In short: This is a must see for anybody who likes anime. Major Matoko Kusanagi, a cybernetic agent, races against time to stop a deadly computer virus in this award-winning thriller hailed as one of the greatest Japanese animated films. A cyborg policewoman and her partner hunt a mysterious and powerful hacker called the Puppet Master.
With Atsuko Tanaka, Akio Ôtsuka, Kôichi Yamadera, Yutaka Nakano.
#GHOST IN THE SHELL 1995 DUB FULL#
There are a few scenes that only have music or an accentuating sound effect in the background while the animators show off their full artistic talent. Ghost in the Shell: Directed by Mamoru Oshii. The details are exquisite - especially cloth effects and character motions. The animation is superb, and used to unusual effect. It has also some nice reflections on what it means to be human - things you may ask of yourself after the movie finishes ('Who knows what's inside our heads. This is what makes rewatching it so enjoyable. The story,thank god, is not dumbed down for the average viewer. The whole storyline might not be quite as complicated as understanding some 'Aeon Fluxx' episodes, but you have to rewatch the story to get a feel for the interconnection of the different players - especially if you are not familiar with the Ghost in the Shell literature. Especially in the English version you will have to make the connection between MoFA, MF, MFA and Ministry of Foreign Affairs, that is easy to get confused over. A word on the story: No, you will probably not 'get' the story the first time around. After the '2501' monologue the story really comes together and you start to be eager for story development instead of just looking for the many details and extravagant action sequences. While watching it for the first time I had always this nagging feeling that some such scene would turn up and ruin the truly stunning visuals. But 'Ghost in the Shell' shines here brightly. This is where 'Final Fantasy' went down the drain. This is (the only part) where 'Akira' failed. Now when I watch anime I usually expect (and dread) the scene which will explain something about the fundamental nature of life, the universe, or whatever.
An interesting plot, deep thoughts, nice dialog, hot chicks, cool action, neat tech, and animation that puts everything to shame which has ever been produced in the western world. I'd thought I'd seen good anime when a friend brought me 'Akira', but this one is just awesome.
