"Metabolic control. Enhanced sensory perception. Improved reflexes and muscle capacity. Vastly increased data processing speed and capacity.
All improvements thanks to our cyber-brains and cyborg bodies. So what if we can't live without high-level maintenance? We have nothing to complain about. It doesn't mean we've sold our souls to Section 9.
We do have the right to resign if we choose. Provided we give the government back our cyborg shells and the memories they hold. "
- Ghost In The Shell (1995) Script
- simplemath 12y agoSuch a great movie.
- aeturnum 12y agoShirow's vision of a post-digital society is extremely forward looking for 1990. Many of the themes he was interested in 25 years ago are only starting to come into focus now, which is pretty legit for a pop scifi author.
- simplemath 12y agoI cannot think of an anime film particularly that is as prescient as Ghost in the Shell. For my money, the best non Miyazaki piece of art the genre ever produced.
