The philosophy about soul, information, knowledge and culture, a simple, short, volatile film that carries with it a concept that is now widely discussed and discussed, is that perhaps 20-30 years later, "Ghost In The Shell" seen as a portrait of the prelude of thought between the correlation of soul and machine. An extremely complex and difficult to understand script, at least at the beginning, it is necessary to sit in front of the TV and not blink a second, even short, we have a reasonable development of the characters, and outcomes that cause pure passion to the viewer and a sense of admiration to history and climate of the film. This climate is pure responsibility of the photography of the film, with an extremely dark, rainy color palette that creates a climate in the best style "Blade Runner", is a future that although it is Cyber ​​ Punk, it is not yet lost or depressed , he is still in the process of deconstruction and loss of values, we can not fail to mention the gore and violence that is used only when necessary, and in this perhaps the film leaves the chance to ally the shock of the plot with a shock in the graphic, but on the other hand the concept of allying nudity to invisibility is new and very interesting, and is extremely beautiful on screen, the film has an animation only "Ok", resisting today it is impossible not to realize how the same is Dated, at least in terms of animation. The quest to humanize the machine is not something new, but it's always interesting, and "Gosth In The Shell" is no different, one of the icons of Eastern pop culture, it's still a great film that brings extremely punctual reflections in a cliché way, and with much charm and elegance.

This timeless, artistic piece of cinematography still holds in 2017. The main concept is hacking but not just any hacking. It is the hacking of people's minds. People of the future with robotic enhancements. Cyborgs. With all the automation going on why not? Some people are full on robots and they are vulnerable to being hacked by this unknown person or consciousness. Anyway it is abstract and there is little combat action compared to any other action film but it is more realistic that way. That being said there is some intense action in the beginning otherwise it is kind of a slow but with beautiful visuals.

PLEASE NOTE: This review will also be on the Ghost in the Shell 2.0 IMDb section since they are the same movie)Ghost in the Shell was an amazing Anime film, that broke the mold on Sci-fi for the 1990's (like that Akira did for the 1980's.) The story is intriguing and interesting and the acting is very well done for both the English dub and Japanese versions. I doubt I need to explain the story to you since you have probably seen this by now but if you haven't, please watch it. You'll be happy you did. I give 'Ghost in the Shell' a 8/10

A must-see film for Sci-fi, Anime and Cyberpunk fans. Even though you are not a fan of any of those, I can assure your curiosity will let you enjoy it. I will dedicate this review to recommend the 1995 film, and why I don't recommend the 2017 remake. Both movies are aesthetically visual, but the difference between this two beautiful "shells", is the very "ghost" within. I'll try to be brief, but with enough content about both. So, let's go:1995: (9/10)We were presented to a thought-provoking and question-rising plot, where there are intrigue and political complot; it takes us on a tour about the relationship between environment and character (aspect-to-aspect sequences). Motoko Kusanagi is the center of the rising questioning about humanity, identity, and memory. What means to be human in a world were human functioning has become more mechanical and technological (read: "Ship of Theseus")? If our brains and conscience (ghost) can be "hacked", how do we know if we are living in the real world (direct influence for "The Matrix" - 1999)?Also, our main "villain", the Puppet Master: A self-aware Artificial Intelligence (AI) whose desire to evolve and be impermanent is the engine for this story. One of the most complex and well-developed characters ever, he is the reference for philosophy, Buddhism and transcendent questions that made this movie, an instant classic.2017: (5/10)We are presented to a plot that follows one direction: vengeance. As the trailer shows us: it is about identity theft and making the responsible pay for it. After that, there ain't much more to it. Our main character's only question is why she feels something has been taken from her. Our main "villain", Kuze, follows the same formulaic goal of taking revenge against those who made him what he is. For real, that's basically it: no depth, American clichés, even the action feels flat.
