"And where does the newborn go from here? The net is vast and infinite."

Back when it was first released, Ghost in the Shell was looked upon as a thoroughly engaging and original piece of anime. Over 10 years on the film has lost next to none of its original impact.

But it's a shame the film is too convoluted, confusing, and rather boring at times too. I will admit t... read more

From the very beginning, Ghost in the Shell promises to be something very special. The beautiful opening music sets the tone, emanating the futuristic, mystical quality that pervades the film. And for the next 85 mins it will put a spell over you and catapult you into its brilliantly realised vision.

The visuals are spectacular! Truly mesmerising. It's difficult not to be completel... read more

Me resulta muy interesante el planteamiento que hace Ghost in the Shell respecto a la red, porque me pregunto si en algún momento podría hacerse verdad de forma literal. Claro, lo que más debería de considerarse sobre la película es lo que implica filosóficamente, pero realmente me pregunto si el Titiritero podría existir.

Claro, lo que más debería de considerarse sobre la película es lo que implica filosóficamente, pero realmente me pregunto si el Titiritero podría existir. Con todo esto del CHATGPT, el arte de IA, y demás, no sé si en algunas décadas realmente podría adquirir una consciencia artificial que genuinamente anhele algo artificialmente. Bueno, sí, en el fondo la película es sobre todas las cosas sobre el registro Akáshico escondido en la realidad y en cada uno de nosotros, eso es lo que representa el personaje, pero ¿Podría ser la red un registro Akáshico generado artificialmente?

" "If we all reacted the same way, we'd be predictable, and there's always more than one way to view a situation. What's true for the group is also true for the individual. It's simple: Overspecialize, and you breed in weakness. It's slow death." Directed by Mamoru Oshii Written by Kazunori Itô Music by Kenji Kawai Cinematography by Hisao Shirai Editing by Shûichi Kakesu"

One of the finest anime films of all time

“I very much enjoy and appreciate anime, and Ghost in the Shell is no exception. In fact Ghost in the Shell is not just one of the finest anime films not to have Studio Ghibli's name on it, but also ever. The animation is breathtaking to watch, ethereal, fluid and very detailed. The score is one of all-time favourites, I love music(especially film music, classical and opera) and from the enchanting melodies and vocals Ghost in the Shell is no exception, really drawing you in. The script is one that really makes you think, it's a very ambitious and thoughtful one with its scientific and philosophical elements. The story is unique and compelling right from the start to the end, the characters engage and the voice work(more in the subbed rather than dubbed version) is very dynamic. I can under” read more
