Destroying the original or inheriting the classic: Have you seen the live-action version of "Ghost in the Shell"?

's new movie "Ghost in the Shell" has been in theaters in China for several days. I wonder if you guys have watched it? How do you feel after reading it?

This movie is adapted from the manga "Ghost in the Shell" of the same name created by Japanese manga artist Shirou Masamune in 1989. It is a science fiction manga, which is the most popular artificial intelligence. It was popular in the American drama "Western Future" last year. "In the full play. The manga can be said to be a precedent for subsequent AI-themed movies. Its textual research, ideas, and exquisite description of future technology have shaped a unique worldview and attracted many science fiction fans. "And many other science fiction works have a significant influence.

In 2029 AD, the rapid development of scientific and technological information, computers, AI and the Internet based on optical, electronic and biochemical technologies dominate everyone's life.

What is AI?

AI stands for artificial intelligence. Simply put, it uses computers to simulate humans to create so-called "robotics."

In the future, this technology will be fully mastered by humans, and various information will control people's lives. With the development of technology, the human body and thoughts can directly interact with standard computers and networks, and the final development form is the prototype of the electronic brain. On the other hand, the prosthetic technology that replaces body organs with mechanical parts has developed rapidly, and even the extreme situation of "all organs are man-made" can be easily achieved.

and such a powerful ability, will naturally be used by lawbreakers, so a special unit that specializes in suppressing high-tech crimes-Public Security Class 9 was established. Captain Kusanagi Motoko, as a "prosthetized" policewoman, led the 9th Public Security Department to continuously launch actions. The

comics are developed in such a context. The animated version launched in 1995 inherits this sci-fi background and uses the dark and avant-garde style to show us the strangeness from the future. Animation may not be satisfactory, but it still inherits the soul of manga. When

comics were born, Yuyou was novel in subject matter and had very few audiences. However, due to the author’s powerful worldview setting and storytelling ability, the large amount of extra text and profound plots shocked the hearts of readers. It quickly became the hottest topic at the time.

"Ghost in the Shell" shows us not only how powerful or terrifying the artificial intelligence in the future world is, but also uses the contradiction and coexistence between humans and these so-called "robots" to trigger us to think about what it is. soul?

Some people have modified part of the body structure in the comics, and some people have only the brain and the whole body is mechanized. Almost all humans have undergone different degrees of modification.

So what is the difference between man and machine? A fully artificial prosthetic body, controlled by a program, is a machine AI, and the soul becomes a human, or a biochemical human. But what exactly is "soul"?

Criminals use robots to retaliate against society and commit crimes. Who is wrong?

The police use robots to protect humans. Who is the righteous party?

Who is the soulless?

I personally think that the soul is a kind of thought, a kind of charm, a kind of kindness, and a kind of warmth, just like the "chivalry" often mentioned in martial arts. It is a principle and love. And justice, we can not understand the ugliness of this world, but if you are wicked because of evil, like the criminals in "Ghost in the Shell", you commit crimes and harm others, and that is a bunch of soulless people. What is the difference between cold steel machinery? Looking back at the machines that help others, aren’t they also cute?

Now that I'm talking about this, I have to mention the movie again. The movie has clear pictures, smooth motions, and cool special effects. It is indeed a visual feast, but it lacks the soul. It looks like those in the comics and even very good. , But the "person" without a soul. It only tells us a story, an adventure, but it did not trigger the discussion of the contradiction between man and machine in the original work about the soul problem. It is really a big regret~
