Die meisten Menschen des Jahres 2029 haben ihren Körper durch Technologie modifiziert. Diese Mischung aus Mensch und Maschine birgt aber große Gefahren, denn der Ganove Puppet Master hat herausgefunden, wie er die Cyborgs durch Hackerangriffe unter sein Kommando stellen und für seine illegalen Geschäfte nutzen kann.

A visual masterpiece that reminded me of Blade Runner in places. It has the same slightly depressing feel, and the metropolis of the future is just as visually impressive. The animation is truly unique, very inventive, and the first half felt like a cinematic poem with great attention to detail with its atmosphere and rather easy flow of the plot. Kenji Kawaie's music is soft, meditative and fits the mood of the film beautifully. I enjoyed the first half thoroughly, but in the second half I got lost in the overload of dialogue in which the cyborgs solve the mandatory problems of "can a machine have a soul" and "what is a soul?", and the plot was a bit convoluted. The second half of the film does not maintain the high bar set and the ending is unsatisfying. Suddenly the closing credits rolled and I was left with mixed feelings. So only four stars, maybe I'll change my mind after a second viewing.

Ghost in the Shell ist ziemlich kurz und in dem Film wird wenig gesprochen. Überraschenderweise sagt er aber viel aus. Eine gute Idee in guter Umsetzung verliert einfach nicht an Wirkung. Der Film gehört zu den auserwählten Science-Fiction-Filmen, denen es auf eine geheimnisvolle Art und Weise gelungen ist, nicht alt zu werden (wie zum Beispiel Blade Runner, Alien - Das unheimliche Wesen aus einer fremden Welt, Akira, Matrix, Zurück in die Zukunft II…), obwohl sie von der Realität in Bezug auf das Jahr bereits überholt oder fast eingeholt wurden. Wenn ich etwas hervorheben müsste, wäre es die absolut faszinierende, etwa fünfminütige Szene irgendwann in der Mitte des Films, in der eigentlich nichts Wesentliches passiert. Sie wird „nur“ von einer fesselnden atmosphärischen Musik begleitet und man sieht Neon-Aufnahmen einer futuristischen Stadt. Diese Passage ist total fesselnd.

Visually a really spectacular flick, which is something the Japanese are really good at in similar films. It is more complicated with the story, as it certainly does not belong among the simpler ones. And the form of narration does not help that either. I had troubles concentrating on the story about cyborgs, when I was staring at that incredible precision in the animation. And it was not helped by the fact that after the less talkative half, the second half began, which somehow started to explain everything. You would expect some top-notch shocking finale, which in reality is pretty quiet and thought-provoking. So much that during the beautiful meditative music accompanying the end credits (which, after all, was playing throughout the whole film) I was just staring speechlessly, thinking about the meaning of the whole thing.

A film that confuses you then leads to dead ends and suddenly, in that moment of understanding, the viewer is left with nothing but a gape of bewilderment and a vain effort to contain their enthusiasm. As a result, Ghost in the Shell is an incomprehensible, yet at the same time incredibly captivating anime, which with a bit better character work could lose the impression of a colder spectacle and therefore easily reach the highest levels.

Sorry, Scarlett, but you also failed to bring the American remake to even a slightly competitive level compared to the original Japanese version. I wrote about the remake lacking the cyberpunk soul, and Mamoru Oshii was able to give the film both a cyberpunk appearance and philosophy. There are only a handful of films that can present the cyberpunk world with honor, and Ghost in the Shell holds an honorable place among them. I have no problem with giving it four stars, I just don't want to give it the fifth one because I always had a little problem with the artistic interpretation of manga. Overall impression: 85%.

A legendary Japanese sci-fi that still deserves attention, and it doesn't even have to be the restored version from 2008. An interesting story, with intriguing characters, bold scenes, and excellent ideas that become almost iconic - such as the man typing on the keyboard. A beautiful example of what Japanese sci-fi can look like. Still, it didn't affect me that much.

The main idea, characterized by a philosophical overlap with atmospheric music by Japanese composer Kenji Kawai, appealed to me, but I guess that's the end of it, even though I like sci-fi. I got lost in the story at times and the animation didn't really grab me. (65%)
