But there was Cinematic, which I really appreciate. Overused anime tricks that can scare away an unprepared viewer, "Ghost" did not smell. "Almost" - there used to be Miyazaki, but I perceived him as a continuation of the cartoons that are part of childhood.

Ghost in the Shell is almost the first anime I've seen. I put emotions in a separate paragraph, now I will tell you the case. Beautiful colors, great music - everything is almost perfect. It is not necessary to listen attentively to the dialogues masquerading as pseudo-smart, and to closely follow the plot - you still cannot understand everything. From the first shot with a computer model of an endless city to the last one with a real (or not?) City - this is great. Now forget all this boring reasoning, and I will tell you, in fact, about my impressions, about my personal relationship with the "Ghost in the Shell". Innovations are easy to recognize - as a rule, it is something that has set the teeth on edge, but at the moment, for some reason, pleasant and interesting. I won't say anything here - it's long, boring, and it's better to see it yourself. For the rest, almost everything was invented or revised in one way or another. Of course, the fact that the artificial mind does not differ from the present, and the immaterial part of being can be calculated (matrix, matrix!) Is the main thing. It's like in "A Space Odyssey" - first monkeys, then spaceships. Confirming this, towards the end, the tree of human development appears in the frame. Not machines will enslave people, but people will turn into machines. Perhaps this is another round of evolution. Although private history is considered, a trend is evident. Humor is present here and there, but it is finally turned into a means of survival. As if not only the external world is computerized, but also the internal one. It is worth mentioning here an ingenious find: although the idea of the identity of artificial intelligence and the present runs through the entire film, all the characters act almost without emotion, cold-bloodedly choosing the best option for action in any situation. Forget about Hollywood "mess" of shots - everything happens smoothly, plans change evenly. There is not a single flashback, you can learn about previous events only from the conversations of the heroes.Ībout dimensionality. There are not many actions that take place throughout the anime, they are all arranged in a strictly chronological order. About recognition it was said above, citation - here I can only say one word - "Matrix". a sense of monumentality that appears when viewingĪll of this is present in The Ghost.a clear storyline without deviations and very sharp turns.The signs that I highlight in a classic film work: It is worth understanding why I personally put the label "classic" on "Ghost in the Shell". On the surface, they succeeded: anime (it's inconvenient to call such a serious thing a cartoon) is still popular not only among cyberpunk fans. Not a stream of revelations, not a new philosophy, but simply a classic work.

In the first four minutes, it becomes clear what the creators made a request for. A change of frame - take a rest, spectator - and a smooth fall down. You start looking for the logic of the narrative - and suddenly the girl tears off the wires from the back of her head and takes off her clothes. It is impossible to understand anything at first glance. All information - "great value" - is given in scanty strokes. Helicopters ready for the assault, a girl on top of a skyscraper listening to the conversation of those sitting in it. However, progress and global computerization have not yet had time to wipe out individual nations and ethnic groups from the face of the Earth ”. Streams of electrons and light particles rush through space, carrying the greatest value - information. “In the not too distant future, the networks of transnational corporations will gain unprecedented scale.
