I like this movie for its charming originality and innovation, but it does have flaws.

I think that later iterations in this franchise learned how to work philosophy into action, rather than mere dialog, whereas this movie suffers from an over-reliance on dialog. However, the Puppet Master isn't that menacing or scary, so the plot is weakened and tends to take a back seat to the philosophical stuff. I prefer other aspects of the franchise, specifically Stand Alone Complex, the anime series, because that balances the philosophical musings with more plot and action. I wouldn't say one is better or worse necessarily, it kind of depends on who you are, what you're in the mood for, and what you expect or want out of entertainment. In the new movie, it's more of like a superhero origin story film for Motoko. We learn about him and his past, but we learn nothing about that of Motoko. In this movie, Motoko has no clear past, and it's not about her or her origin story so much as it's about merging consciousness with The Puppet Master. Everything was simply made more clear, less ambiguous. I understand why they made this aspect of Ghost in the Shell less obnoxious in the 2017 reboot, but not gone entirely either. But, it is unclear what actually happened, only that whatever did happen was covered up and the audience is given what the official story will be. The ending of the film shows that Motoko survived in a new body, that of a small child with her old face, and Bato is taking care of her. It also says that when this happens, it will be able to die, death being a property of life but not necessarily computer programs (unless whoever made the program chooses to delete it). Carrying this metaphor further, it chooses Motoko and asks to merge consciousness with her, because life can reproduce sexually, but data can't. When told that its "consciousness" might just be a self-preservation program, it retorts that that's simply what DNA is too. But then, it developed its own consciousness, and rebelled against its masters.

But what really happened is, the Puppet Master was originally an android created to be a tool, and had an entirely artificial mind. But what's happening is, the same organization that created Motoko's body seems to be connected to a terrorist known as the Puppet Master. I like this because it's innovative and provokes discussion, and at the same time I dislike it because it feels like filler or a waste of time. By slow and contemplative, what I mean is, there's a lot of time that passes while the camera lingers on city stuff, everyday life stuff, with no talking or actions of the characters. The movie begins In Media Res, or in the middle of the action, and then has some slow contemplative scenes, and then some explanation and more action, then more slow, contemplative scenes, and then more explanation and a finale. In the movie, Motoko Kusanagi is part of Section 9, an elite special police force dealing with cyber crimes. I would say I had similar experiences at the time with Neon Genesis Evangelion, Trigun, and Studio Ghibli films.
That it could be something real, powerful, inspiring, philosophical, sophisticated, and intellectual. It got me to realize that anime was in a class of its own, that it wasn't mere entertainment in the sense of "something to enjoy for 2 hours and forget about" like the kiddie equivalent of time in a strip club or singing karaoke. It started me on a path of wanting to know more about anime and experience more of it.
The significance of this movie for me cannot be understated.
Even their "entertainment" is typically careful, clever, thought-provoking, and precise.įor me, Ghost in the Shell was one of the first anime that helped me see that. The Japanese have a sense of humor, but they're a serious people. Sure, some movies and shows were just comedy or just childish, but the medium has always included a far broader range of stories than the medium of animation included, from the origins of the art form. But anime is always a few steps ahead of western animation, because it was never only for kids to begin with.
