We all heard of sci-fi stories, and especially the ones with cyborgs in it. Originally, movies like these were perceived as quite cliche when it comes to cyborgs--mindless humans under the control of a machine, and dangerous ones. We also heard of whitewashed films, and with the last Dragon Ball Z mayhem, I wasn't so sure at first with this, seeing as this film was adapted from its respective manga and anime series, and the leading character is a white.
But guess what? This film broke barriers. It defied cliches, followed the true plot and despite its violence, roused the audience. I was no exception. It is a truly amazing movie, even giving us a moral lesson on the virtue of humanity.
If you never heard of the anime series, I don't think you spoiler-haters aren't fit to read this.
Ghost in the Shell is a 2017 American science fiction and action directed by Rupert Sanders and written by Jamie Moss, William Wheeler and Eren Kruger, based on the Japanese manga and anime of the same name by Masamune Shirow. It film stars Scarlett Johansson, Takeshi Kitano, Michael Pitt, Pilou Asbæk, Chin Han and Juliette Binoche. Set in a near future when the line between humans and robots is blurring, the plot follows the Major (Johansson), a cyborg supersoldier who yearns to learn her past.
If you're looking for whitewashed versions, here ya go. It's got 10/10 accuracy and...whatever's on the plate. Don't go looking for Avatar or Attack on Titan or Dragon Ball Z (just no), go for the Ghost in the Shell.
Trust me, you're gonna wish you got a cyberkinetic body just to watch this repeatedly, without any health effects.
