mentioned the representative of Japanese cyberpunk science fiction animation. "Ghost in the Shell" is definitely the most prestigious animation series. The animation of "Ghost in the Shell" is adapted from the works of the same name by the famous Japanese science fiction manga artist Shirou Masamune. The animation series system of "Ghost in the Shell" is very large. If distinguished according to the animation director, the current "Ghost in the Shell" animation series can be divided into three major systems. These three major animation systems are directed by Mamoru Oshii. Two "Ghost in the Shell" theatrical animations, one is the 1995 version of "Ghost in the Shell", the other is "Ghost in the Shell: Innocence"; two "Ghost in the Shell" directed by Kenji Kamiyama Team" TV version animation and OVA animation "Ghost in the Shell SAC Solid State Society"; "Ghost in the Shell Arise" directed by Kase Kazuya and TV animation.
"Ghost in the Shell" each animation system has its own characteristics, and each animation system has a lot of things to discuss. Although Shibu-kun’s favorite is the "Ghost in the Shell" animation directed by Kenji Kamiyama, this time Shibu-kun will introduce the theatrical animation "Ghost in the Shell" directed by Mamoru Oshii in 1995. In 1995, the Japanese animation industry produced two classic masterpieces, one is "Ghost in the Shell" 1995, and the other is the famous TV version of "Evangelion". In the 1995 version of "Ghost in the Shell" animation, Mamoru Oshii mainly used the settings in this work to explore quite profound philosophical propositions.
The basic world view of "Ghost in the Shell" is that in the near-future world, all human mental activities, including thinking, consciousness, and emotions, can all be digitized. At that time, the human world has formed a With an extremely large information network, all human psychological activities have become part of the vast network. Not only that, the human body can be prostheticized, and even a considerable part of humans have undergone whole-body prosthetic surgery. Under such a general environment, new types of security issues have arisen, so government departments around the world have established corresponding organizations to solve these security issues. The Japanese government has established a relatively independent organization, the Nine Public Security Departments. This is the organization where Motoko Kusanagi, the heroine of the "Ghost in the Shell" series.
When humans can be transformed into robot-like existences, the 1995 version of "Ghost in the Shell" is thinking about a question. When human society really develops to such a stage, humans are not humans. Assuming that human beings really have something like a soul, a human being whose mental activities are all digitized and whose body can be transformed into an immortal body, is the soul's home after all human beings? This returns to a very basic philosophical proposition, "I" or not myself, if "I" is not me, then what is "I".
There are three very interesting scenes in this animation. The first scene is a conversation between Motoko Kusanagi and her colleague Bart on a boat, and the second scene is the hacker puppeteer’s self-report of what he did in the film. The last scene is the fusion of the puppet master and Kusanagi Motoko. Jun Shi thinks that the main control idea of this animation is fully expressed in these three scenes. When human beings have memory, self-awareness, and have acquired the function of reproduction and death, and finally become a living body, is the human body that can be transformed into a body just a container? And after the so-called "sublimation" of human life forms, does it need a body? This animation is so idealistic, and full of discussions on the themes of existence and nothingness.
For this animation, Shibu Jun has two last things that I have to mention. The first thing is that the visual design and profound connotation of this animation inspired the world-renowned film series "The Matrix", which is "The Hacker" A matter personally acknowledged by the director of "Empire". The other thing is more interesting. Those who are more familiar with Mamoru Oshii know that when he directed "Ghost in the Shell", he completely smashed the original, so that it is said that the original manga author Shirou Masamune did not I like "Ghost in the Shell" adapted by Mamoru Oshii, and the 1995 version of "Ghost in the Shell""There is no Takikma.
