Where is the soul of ghost in the shell under the commercial mask?

Ghost in the shell. 

"You and I are like looking at things through a mirror, and what we see is nothing but illusory" — —Mamoru Oshii quoted ghost in the shell in 1995 from Schopenhauer.


Please allow Xiao Dianjun to set an example before talking about this movie to pay tribute to the classics.


As a recognized "masterpiece", ghost in the shell, a series of works of the same name adapted from Masamune Shirow cartoons directed by Mamoru Oshii, has carried too much admiration and praise since it came out. However, the live-action version of the work of the same name that has just been released in China can be said to be aloof because it stands on the shoulders of giants for secondary creation: from film preparation, shooting to publicity, there has been a trend of mixed opinions and polarization.


Xiao Dianjun also went to watch this new work early. However, after watching the movie, there were some surprises and many disappointments.


The background and characters of the film still follow the classic settings of the 95th edition of Attack on the Shell. Although compared with the original version, Bart’s hairstyle is a little explosive, the wild-rolled colonel has some facial paralysis, and the "widowed sister" version of Shaozuo is not as slender and slender as the original version. But unless you are a fanatical classic, these details are not fatal to Xiao Dianjun.


After all, many clips in the film almost completely restore the classic version of the plot, which we will mention later.


To say that the most embarrassing thing about this adaptation is that the producers and screenwriters level forcibly lowered the connotation of the new version of the story, and the story is anticlimactic, with a huge opening momentum but a chicken soup ending. After watching the movie, you will find it hard to imagine that it was adapted from a film called "masterpiece".


Xiao Dianjun doesn’t want to be too mean to this work. Objectively speaking, the live-action version of Attack on the Shell is not a bad film, but it’s a pity that Mamoru Oshii’s version of Zhuyu is in the front, and it will only hurt if it is compared.

Mamoru Oshii’s ghost in the shell.

To talk about the gap between the live-action version and the original version, we must first talk about how "god" the original version is.


Cyberpunk: A Science Fiction City with Multi-cultural Integration


For this masterpiece, the first evaluation given by Xiao Dianjun is: ahead of time.


It is widely regarded as one of Cyberpunk’s classic works. At that time, the release of this film also caused a worldwide wave of Cyberpunk.

Man-machine information transmission of Cyberpunk wind in movies


The word Cyberpunk may be a little strange to many people, so far it has no strict definition. Enthusiasts who usually like this cultural genre are determined by the characteristics summarized from the previous works of this type: Cyberpunk’s works usually set the story in the future with highly developed information technology, and the advanced scientific and technological development and the contradiction between people and society are the classic themes of this type.

Blade runner is regarded as a typical work of Cyberpunk.


In visual style, Cyberpunk in Xiao Dianjun’s eyes is blending. The disorderly cultural mixture makes the old and new cultures appear in the future high-tech city.

The slums hidden behind the high-tech cities in ghost in the shell


From this perspective, ghost in the shell in 1995 is undoubtedly ahead of the times. Mamoru Oshii and screenwriter Itou Kazunori have exerted extraordinary imagination in their works. At that time, even the internet was not popular, and the fantasy scene of the future world was shown to countless audiences. Today’s scientific and technological development also proves that this prophetic work is extremely forward-looking.

Mechanical agent connected to network


Compared with Masamune Shirow’s painting style with outstanding sense of science and technology, Mamoru Oshii has added more Japanese retro cultural symbols on the basis of cyber, which is more prominent in Attack on the Shell 2: Innocence.

Sacrificial wind makes people fall into dreamland.


In the live-action movie just released, the production team tried their best to restore the Mamoru Oshii version of the future city, but the diversified cultural symbols were weak. Moreover, due to the change of the plot, the common pessimism in Cyberpunk is also greatly reduced in the new work.

My father died suddenly, and my grandmother broke unexpectedly. Female college students took my grandmother to college.

  Amazing decision

  "I was brought up by my grandmother, and now I should take care of her."

  Refuse funding

  "The pressure of the family can hold up for the time being and I don’t want to rely on others."

  There was no class on the afternoon of 16th, and Liu Lin stayed with her grandmother all afternoon. Near the meal, she first warmed up the vegetable egg soup and fish-flavored shredded pork cooked at noon. She was a 1.5-meter-tall girl, and reached out and picked up her grandmother. Grandma’s hands naturally surrounded her granddaughter and sat down beside the bed. Liu Lin served the food to the old man, and the two of them sat quietly eating. "I am strong, and I am directly in the wheelchair when I go downstairs." Liu Lin said with a smile. "How can I live not to spoil! I will follow you. " Grandma, who is a little hard of hearing, asked her granddaughter if she was used to living, and some answered loudly.

  In August this year, after his father died, Liu Lin, a sophomore in the School of Tourism and Economic Management of Chengdu University, made a bold decision to take her 93-year-old grandmother to school and take care of herself.

  Family changes

  She brought her 93-year-old grandmother to Chengdu.

  In April this year, Liu Lin experienced the darkest blow in his life. His father died of illness, and his mother could not bear the great mental pressure and could not take care of the elderly. Earlier in March, a 93-year-old grandmother accidentally fell and fractured her leg.

  "There is no way, no one in the family can take care of her." Liu Lin said that grandma had a hard life, and her three sons, including her father, had already passed away before her. Especially after her father’s death, the fragmented family could not take care of her elderly grandmother comprehensively, and Liu Lin was not at ease to leave the elderly who could not take care of themselves at home. At the beginning of August, Liu Lin made an amazing decision that she would take her grandmother to school and take care of her by herself.

  I’m not just saying. On August 3rd, Liu Lin, his younger brother and cousin rented a car, loaded grandma’s wheelchair and quilt luggage and went straight to Chengdu to rent a single room.

  A room, two beds, a wardrobe, a desk and a coffee table, this is Liu Lin’s "home" off campus with her grandmother. This single room rents 600 yuan every month. My younger brother who works in Chengdu will visit every month. Most of the salary of more than 2,000 yuan in January goes to grandma and sister for living.

  Childhood memories

  "When I was a child, I didn’t understand her."

  "I was brought up by my grandmother, and now I should take care of her." Liu Lin said.

  Liu Lin recalled that when he was a child, he and his younger brother went to school and walked home for more than 10 minutes at noon for dinner. However, his grandmother, who could not read or read clocks, was able to "magically" put the food on the table on time. At that time, her grandmother was over 80 years old. "When I was a child, I didn’t understand, but I had to contradict her." Liu Lin said with a smile, but his rebellious period is very short, probably because of family reasons, he was sensible early.

  A "schoolmaster" who refused funding.

  In addition to taking responsibility, there is also self-improvement

  In the eyes of teacher Zhang Na, Liu Lin is a student with excellent academic performance. When she entered the school, she was selected to Zhang Lan College because of her excellent grades. Considering Liu Lin’s special family situation, she also applied for a work-study post for her &mdash; &mdash; Go to the college office to be on duty and help the teacher. "She will take the initiative to help clean up, and she will do a good job if the teacher is too busy." Although it takes a lot of energy to take care of grandma, and Liu Lin, who has just finished the general course in Zhang Lan University, still has a lot of professional courses to make up, Liu Lin has never dropped out of the course and is still preparing for the English Singer Competition of the school.

  Knowing what happened to Liu Lins, someone offered to help her, but Liu Lin declined. "I always feel that I am getting something for nothing." Liu Lin said that his younger brother is earning money, and he can also work part-time, so he can support the pressure of his family temporarily and doesn’t want to rely on others.

  N ways to "spoil" grandma

  eat

  The rice should be cooked soft.

  It takes one and a half teeth to bite.

  At 7: 30 in the morning, the alarm clock rang, which was at least half an hour earlier than when I lived in school. Liu Lin has to get up, cook grandma’s favorite dumplings for breakfast, wash her face and brush her teeth, and then fly to school. "Sometimes I still have to oversleep." Liu Lin embarrassedly touched his head. It is simply happiness to sleep more in the morning when there is no class.

  After school at 12 noon, Liu Lin will come back to make lunch at once. I bought vegetables and meat in the vegetable market in the community. Liu Lin made the food soft and thin, which was convenient for grandma who had only one and a half teeth to swallow. Liu Lin said that grandma likes to eat cotton candy, ham sausage, and especially likes preserved eggs and lean porridge. With snacks, Liu Lin doesn’t have to worry about grandma being hungry.

  ramble

  Peers go shopping to buy clothes.

  She pushed her grandmother to watch the square dance in a wheelchair.

  Sometimes when the weather is fine, Liu Lin will use a wheelchair to push her grandmother to the square to watch others dance. Every time she is fascinated, her grandmother always says, "Watch for a while". Because of a broken leg, Liu Lin bought a special bed online in order to make grandma sleep more comfortably. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, Liu Lin had a hard time changing the bed to the outside near the bay window, so that grandma could see the lake outside and the light was better.

  "Girls, I like to go shopping in buy buy to buy it!" Speaking of which, Liu Lin, who had always been very calm, was a little excited, but after taking her grandmother, Liu Lin rarely went shopping with her classmates, but she would invite her classmates to dinner at home.

  Afraid that the old man will be bored at home alone

  She bought a cat.

  I went to school by myself. How can Grandma live alone at home? Liu Lin downloaded a lot of grandma’s favorite war movies on the computer. "It may just look a little hot, but she may not understand." In order to make the home more lively, Liu Lin bought a kitten and named it "Dangdang", but grandma always vaguely called it "Dandan" and named another hairy bear at the bedside "Xiu Xiu". "It’s a lot more fun to have this cat."

  Liu Lin said that grandma gained some weight after coming to Chengdu, probably because she was in a good mood, and sometimes she would hum her own tune at night. I haven’t thought about the future in detail, but Liu Lin said that no matter where I am in the future, I should take my grandmother with me.
