[Video]The latest trailer sounded like it had hints of "Making of Cyborg"
[Video][\video][/Video]
just saw this thread... didnt know it existed. beating a dead horse but i thought i'd give my view on this...
I once read a blog post by The Hundreds basically talking about why its ok for a white woman to play major for this role.. writer was a white dude.
his argument was basically the fact that GitS is all about identity, etc so it doesnt matter what race major is played as. also the fact that shes a robot... which I agree to some point... but since the writer was white, i dont think he gets it...
asian americans are just so fed up with seeing asians being treated like **** in films. if you look at western films, its always the asian girl getting smashed by the western man. its always the asian man playing the typical nerdy or kung fu role (donnie yen in star wars is the most recent example for me), etc.
just for once it would've been nice to see an Asian play the Major in a Japanese story.
I still don't know how to feel about this. As long as it's not Dragonball status, I think I'll be content
Can't be worse than the DragonBall Movie
I'm gonna have to watch this just because I need to know how it was executed.
Can you get a movie poster from the theater?
So what do they do with the posters exactly? Send them back to the studios?
-The Major is a cold, calculating soldier who shows little to no emotion. ScarJo does not tap into that at all. Plus it would have been nice to see the Japanese protagonist played by a Japanese actress, but that horse been beaten already.
-I can already tell by the trailer that a) the production just wanted to cash in on a big name anime or b) they paid literally NO attention to the series plot wise. Probably both,but if you have seen the movies and both seasons, you can see that there will be conflicting plots in the movie. (The scene with the geisha appear in season 1 of the ANIME where as the fight scene in the water come from the ORIGINAL MOVIE).
-Throughout the whole series and movies GiTS tackles the issue as to what it truly means to be human. The Major was one of the first full-body cyborgs (all limbs prosthetic + full on cyberbrain) as she had a terrible accident as a child. She is seen throughout the series to even question if she really was human to begin with, if her soul, or ghost is even real or 1's and 0's. This was the reason Masamune Shirow named it GHOST in the SHELL (deriving from Gilbert Ryles' theory of "ghost in the machine", look it up).
Of course Hollywood chose to ignore the philosophical aspect of it, giving you yet ANOTHER rehashed "where did I come from?" origins story with a cute white girl doing somersaults,shooting robots, and explosions. Lol.
