want all? First, ask You Hao, Yide, Hou Jia, Tessdeno, James Cameron, Bart, and those men and women who have been with Motoko Kusanagi.
In 1989, Shiro Masamune began serializing the cyberpunk-themed comic "Ghost in the Shell". The protagonist Motoko Kusanagi led the members of the 9th Public Security Department to launch a series of special operations against high-tech crime.
In 1990, Kelly, with only the brain and torso left, was revived after being "picked up" by Yide in the junkyard in the scrap iron town of "Gun Meng", and embarked on her journey of rebirth in the wasteland to find herself .
"Bunker Dream", original classic level: S; film adaptation difficulty: S
and we all know that for these two works, the above description is just the beginning. The original comic book "Ghost in the Shell" passed Oshii Mamoru and Kamiyama Kenji Waiting for the master's re-creation, let this complex and highly concentrated work envelop the evolution of the times to derive more precise details and deeper thinking.
And "Bunker Dream" uses Kelly as the light source to radiate the intelligent life of Scrap Iron Town, Sharem, Jerusalem and the entire solar system. Now it is many years after science fiction movie giant James Cameron bought the copyright. Ushered in his debut on the big screen.
Although the title of this article uses the evil lead body, it is not a chaotic soldier , but because "Ghost in the Shell" and Suzi are more famous and symbolic than "Gunmen" and Kelly. They are all more advanced. With this as a topic, firstly, fans who are familiar with the two works can fill in the crossover scene; secondly, to help the daoists of the two who are familiar with the first to learn by analogy and find a common language; New friends who don’t know both are welcome to swallow the hot water before savoring the classic original.
Motoko Kusanagi with different appearances in different works
In particular, considering the number of "Ghost in the Shell" works and the large number of creators involved, there are objective differences in style and even setting. This article will mainly use the original comics, Oshii Shou-dominant animated film version and live-action film version are the basis for the argument. In contrast, "Gun Meng" mainly focuses on "Gun Meng", "Gun Meng lastorder" and the published information of the movie version.
OK, access, walk up (note: this article contains spoilers for related works).
1. Gao Lengyu's sister and the girl who was picked up of the corpse-the first impression supported by the worldview
The very different first impressions set the distinctive tone of the two works from the beginning. In the famous 95 movie version of Mamoru Oshii, Motozi, who sits on the background of a near-future metropolis, opens the scene full of technology trees, and in the ensuing high-speed battles, it demonstrates the physical offense and defense of the prosthetic body and the information processing ability of the human Internet . In the comics, Suzi also mentioned that one of the important reasons why he was invited to join Nine Lessons is to be able to use and maintain his high-end body for a long time (with public funds). The physiological characteristics and combat equipment such as
not only show the author’s foresight of future technology (the part that has been realized has undoubtedly participated in the shaping of the work’s “sacred work”), it also reflects the previous science fiction texts. The imagination conveyed is implemented in the stage of visualized industrial products: 's glamorous and complex human-machine integration, and the cyber aesthetics of technological products.
Prime’s classic appearance
and Kaili’s appearance will be much "shabby"-a female stump in the "industrial waste" (reminds me of what I saw when I threw something into a roadside trash can The female head is probably part of a display model thrown away by a certain wicked clothing store). After Yide accidentally picked it up, it was finally reborn. The combination of
messy hair + weight loss + ignorant face is like a cub driven to the dangerous jungle of Scrap Iron Town. The weakness on the surface is well integrated into the sense of unknown and uncertainty in the development of the work, but it also increases objectively Due to the difficulty of restoring the character after the film and television, "Alita: Battle Angel" was pointed out from the trailer as "eyes are too big" or "why is it not an octopus mouth". Of course, this also provides a huge room for evolution of Kaili's "system upgrade" in the future.
The real "corpse picking"
Only from the first impression, the near future is best equipped with Cyberwomen V.S Wasteland World semi-finished products can be hands-on, and Suzi wins.
2. She-the person named
"female orangutan" is the private name of Motozi by the members of the 9th Public Security Department. In the animation, Motozi is successfully portrayed as a professional woman with a slender and fit body, short hair and often high temperament.
In the original comics, thanks to the excellent painting style of Shilang’s authenticity and harmony, Motozi actually has a humorous, cute and sometimes funny side. Under the two-way contrast, because the animation is more in line with the metaphysical spiritual core of the later series of works. The business needs of the nine lessons have been adopted and strengthened.
is only in the live-action film version that tried to restore but failed to impress the fan community. Although Scarlett Johansson’s facial performance in the face of the person conforms to the appearance of the original, it lacks the subtle temperature and fails to show 's heart. The part of "humanity" that remains and is especially cherished.
The gap between live-action movies and animation is approximately equal to the distance between the real world and the world of works
The most interesting thing about sister Kaili is that she will continue to enrich her memory and personality as the story develops, thereby expanding the territory of her inner world. Lead readers to the generations in memory 200 years ago (the memory passages in "Martian" and "Last Order") to find the lost self.
At the same time, her figure and appearance have also improved significantly in the diligent painter of Mr. Yukito Kishiro, from the heavy metal girl in the Scrap Iron Town period to the cute and cute catwoman when she returns from Nirvana in "Last Order", and then she appears after her re-awakening. His holy wings finally became the "Angel of Death" in the legend.
borrowed from Dr. Tiesdenau’s words: “The tail of shows instinctive vitality and sensibility, while the wings show a firm will to transcend the limit. ” plus the inherent cuteness of the octopus mouth and when dealing with heterosexual relationships The attitude of dare to love and hate is perfect for growth.
Ruthless Yu Jie V.S Universe Angel, Kaili won.
was just an ideological wing at first, and finally helped Kelly realize her flight
3. You will surely die if I punch this punch-physical combat power
Although there are different degrees of book-eating or creator changes, Suzi and Kelly In terms of life experience, there is still one thing in common, that is, they have undergone almost full-scale prosthetic transformation in their childhood, so that their combat effectiveness can be continuously upgraded with the iteration of software and hardware.
As a female, Suzi has the strongest comprehensive combat effectiveness in the nine public security classes where Luohan gathers. In addition to using top-fit body parts and proficient in fighting and various types of firearms, she also has accumulated experience in combat. Allow her to make the most reasonable judgment between just being head-on and standing still.
But in the 95 movie version, knowing that the enemy is strong and we are weak, I have to tear up thinking about the tank, and finally relying on Bart to save the field with heavy weapons and barely win the Desperate Battle. It also exposed Mo Zi's traditional physical combat level. Functional limit.
Compared with Suzi, which is restricted by the hardware ceiling of the background of the work, Kaili has a universe-level towering technology tree , from the synthetic human general prosthesis in childhood, to the berserker body in the Scrap Iron Town period, to the transformed Imma The upgraded versions of Ginos 1.0, 2.0, 2.1, proficient in hot and cold weapons, can be singled out and team battles, and there are also the secret martial arts of the sunflower classic level in the martial arts novels-the Martian mecha technique is close to the body, and the combat power is divided. Minutes break through the sky.
In terms of actual combat history, Kelly has also conducted a series of fire and iron trials, such as terrorist assassinations, death ball games, "horse borrowing" record, ZOTT (which can be understood as the world’s number one martial arts competition between stars). The variety of combat forms, the difficult combat conditions, and the unreasonable strength of the opponents are just as good as the mess that Fujian Yoshihiro gave Urami Yusuke and Kiya to clean up.
Black Widow + Terminator V.S Super Saiyan + Oriental Unbeaten, Kaili wins.
The "Mecha" in the original work can be called Eastern-style sci-fi martial arts. How to show
in the movie version. Four, beauties, add a friend — information-based combat power
Cyberpunk can’t be just gunfire fighting, literary fighting Information warfare is also very important.
Element is collecting enemy data and processing battlefield lettersInformation and the use of information to attack and interfere with the enemy can be regarded as masters of masters. After leading us to witness a series of ultra-5G bandwidth operations such as "behind-the-head intubation, human WIFI, memory invasion, and nerve conduction", Finally, the digital survival of the cloud version was realized in the classic battle with the puppet master.
The reason why Shilang Masamune’s first serialization was temporarily closed after the Puppet Master incident was probably because the transformation from physical to digital has completed the limit of people’s imagination for "cyborg" at that time. When the serialization is reopened, the digital The online world has changed from the previous background to the foreground. The opening paragraph of the text describes: "For the element that has reached the known limit of the biochemical man, the running storage device is its own body, and the running information source is its own. Her memory...materials and information are also her reality. "" can also be regarded as us who predicted the future in advance.
Where is the boundary between "thinking" and "operation"?
Compared to Suzi’s “hard science fiction” setting, Kelly’s information warfare is a bit too swollen. Kelly used to conduct military operations after receiving Sharem’s transformation during the Scrap Iron Town period. Communication, remote control, etc. are based on the more mature information technology in reality.
can follow the escalation of the war in "last order", Kelly was first given the management authority of "Meldejic" (which can be simply understood as a supercomputer at the apocalypse level, in charge of the "community of human destiny") components, and The planet-star AI "Ubitan" is a cloud storage space. From the perspective of hardware data alone, the gap between Kaili and Suzi is almost the gap between science fiction and folk science.
However, Kelly did not realize Suzi’s philosophical "cyber universe" . She still stayed in the mundane things of finding oneself and saving the most important person to her, causing overkill. Therefore, this link is more in comparison. The enlightening element wins.
Fifth, the pendant on the thigh of the goddess-invite suitors from both sides to appear on the stage
The quality and loyalty of the licking dog army is also an important measure of "goddess power".
In the 9th Public Security Class, "Your Royal Highness Princess" is another name that the team members privately refer to Suzi apart from "mother orangutan", which means that Suzi is the "pro-daughter" of the old man Huang Juan (but in the comics when Huang Juan expresses to Suzi "You are like my daughter" Shi Suzi arrogantly retorted, "At least he should be a granddaughter"), which also shows that other male team members generally recognize Suzi's core position in terms of job position and identity attitude. In the film version of
in 1995, Bart took the initiative to put his jacket on Suzi twice when Suzi turned off the invisible camouflage and finished diving. Although the audience knew that this kind of shielding or warmth did not have any practical meaning, but It also reflects that Suzi's femininity still triggers the gentleman side of Bart's macho appearance.
Bart and Suzi
are obviously more relaxed in the comic version Suzi, she will go to Wushan with her female gunmates in the form of intubation behind the head during the annual vacation; in terms of heterosexual relationship, Suzi and the partner-the public security The male colleagues in Class 6 lived and socialized together, and Bart spit out "You and this guy lasted for 7 months. This is really a record."
until the latest spin-off comic "Ghost in the Shell ARISE", Suzi also slept with a little fresh meat, his own charm and open sexual concept, it can be seen that Suzi's personal life is quite rich.
Although this gentleman slept with the goddess, but the end was not satisfactory.
Kelly is not as open as a child, but as an extraterrestrial angel who comes to the end of the world, she never lacks an emotionally full lover.
First of all, You Hao, this wasteland version of Icarus intentionally or unintentionally opened Kelly’s girly heart, but what he really yearns for is Sharem, who is out of reach of the sky—"When the one he loves falls in love with Something farther away will make you jealous. At first, you will try to cooperate with him and control the same thing. Soon you will not be able to continue to cooperate and feel like you have been abandoned like Scrap Iron Town." Kaili told You Hao What he said became a prediction of the fate of the two following.
The tragic You Hao
Then, it is Yide who is also father, brother and lover to Kaili, he retrieves Kaili from the ruins and restores itIn the rebirth state, this is the father; taking care of everything in life, trying to keep Kelly away from the hard and bloody life, this is the elder brother; after Kelly ran away, looking around, but disappointed to join Kelly’s hostility because of love and hatred The camp (Jie Xiuhuang), this is a lover; although the two have never formally established a relationship, Yide is still the key emotional bond for Kaili II to regain humanity in the process of being a person.
The movie version of Yide
last appeared between "Wild Lover" Hou Jiya and Kelly, somewhat a bit of the traditional love movie "happy friends" taste-say no, the body is very honest.
And Hou Jiya is also fortunate to be the winner of the dog-licking group. At the end of "Last Order", I met with the "rebirth" Kelly again in the blessing of Yide, and it seems that he is expected to live a life as a companion. A chic achievement.
Since Hou Jiya has been entrusted by the goddess after all the hardships at the buzzer, then in this round of comparison, Kaili, who is hand in hand with Jun, is better than Suzi who probably doesn't care about such things at all.
6. No one in the world knows you-the original adaptation and cultural output
is undoubtedly the absolute advantage of "Ghost in the Shell".
Oshii Mamoru, as a first-class editor of the original work, the 95 version of "Ghost in the Shell" in addition to distilling and retelling the original short story of the manga into a complete sci-fi movie script, also created a complete set of enough to get through cyberpunk The audiovisual system of spiritual core and conceptual expression has influenced many works of later generations.
For example, the Wachowski brothers (or brothers at the time) at the beginning of their terrifying "The Matrix" with a black background and green text pop-up subtitle design is the same as the 95 version of "Ghost in the Shell" reuse; to the end of the film In the gun battle scene of the building hall, the stone pillars as the shelter were shot so bad that only the basic supporting structure was left. It was similar to the battle situation in the battle of Suzi and Thinking Tank; not to mention that the two works shared the intubation behind the head. · Gibson's "Neural Wanderer" proposed that it has now become a basic "common sense" setting for fans.
At the same time, a series of big screens or OVA animations on the theme of "Ghost in the Shell" have always maintained excellent quality and stable output, until the disappointing live-action film version of "Ghost in the Shell" in 2017. At least it can be considered to have completed the dominance of various contemporary screen art expressions.
In addition to the concept, plot, special effects, classic sci-fi movies, they will also have a distinctive aesthetic style.
In contrast, "Gunmeng" has been lacking in weight in addition to the two-volume OVA and a PS game that copied the original story. The copyright of creation and film adaptation was held by James Cameron for many years after falling in love at first sight, and now he finally took the first step. The game of the same name
on the
PS console is interesting, as our lifestyle becomes more and more "cyber", the classic cyberpunk text, whether it is the live-action version of Ghost in the Shell, or "Blade Runner 2049", which was really good but was difficult to satisfy the producers and producers at the box office, could no longer become a widely spread cultural phenomenon like "The Matrix."
I originally hoped that if the card god, if the prince’s own driving, would make "Gunmeng" from a (relatively) niche work into a "Terminator" and "Avatar" level of film and television, so that more people can learn more about it. Kelly’s unique charm.
However, Rodriguez’s takeover and the various previews given in the previous publicity show that there are indeed some setting discrepancies between the film and the original. The slightly obvious change in style may also take into account the viewing experience of ordinary audiences ( The flying limbs or splattering of internal organs in the comics is indeed not acceptable to everyone), but the eyes that are too large are still a bit uncomfortable, considering that Dr. Tisdenau did not appear in the trailer—the film studio did it. The shadow poster of the mysterious character named "Nova"-so the story should still be based on the visual elements of battle angels, flying to Sharem as the spiritual sustenance, and will not involve the conspiracy and secrets of the core worldview for the time being.
In terms of cultural phenomenon and influence, Mozi wins, but I hope that the film project of "Gunmeng" can continue until the day when the original work can be perfectly presented.
