Yeahhhh I've been waiting for Ghost in the Shell for months because I'm so obsessed with the original animation movie.The original one is just a masterpiece, which is both brilliant and unique. Therefore, after I hear of that Ghost in the Shell will be adapted by Hollywood, I almost go insane~! However, the new version of it is so awkward and disappoint me~~~😭😭
But it still deserves praise for its production design.
The art design and some of the shots are magnificent. Besides, the scenes refer to the animation movie are quite close to the original one, which makes me on the verge of tears. Thanks to the advanced CGI technology and impressive special effects of Hollywood, the classic scenes from animation movie can reappear as if it came true in our reality.
Despite the great production design, the plot and the character are both confusing. In terms of the plot, it is just another corny story which is overused in Hollywood and sometimes it doesn't make sense. And because of the bugs in this movie, the audience may not understand the story. When it comes to the character, the major, Mira(Scarlett Johansson), is the only vivid character here. It seems that the director simply want to focus on Mira and neglect the other supporting role. Even the protagonist, Batou, looks like a Joe Blow.
Even though there are some shortcomings in new Ghost in the Shell, the audience can feast their eyes on the striking visual effects if they ignore the plot. But, anyway, it's just my personal opinion. Don't take it way too serious if you do like the plot. I'm just expressing my disappointment😢
Well, although it's already passed the deadline, I still want to tell you that I just went to see it!!!! However, I'm of the same feeling with you. It didn't surprised me at all~ You know, I'm quite a sensitive girl, and this movie didn't even let me drop any tears. It's impossible!! I had cried even in the Beauty and a Beast. Well, now I look forward to the Fast and the Furious more.
回覆刪除Recently I have written some blogs and do some research about the future technologies. I saw a study of making every human a cyborg "in purpose" and it's really scared me out (I had a nightmare that night) Your blog made me think of it (I guess I will have a nightmare again) So although I a big fan of science fiction, now I really think cyborg is horrific. I guess I won't go to the theater to see the movie but thanks for sharing it!
