My favorite Mamoru Oshii film is Patlabor 2 buy GITS2 is right up there with it

Still holds up. The jazzy noir feel in the first half switching to the mind melting existential dread of the 2nd half is one of my favorite dynamics in any media ever. Deserves just as much as the original

4:02 Oh my god I'm so glad you brought this up. The charscters jsing these quotes to try to rationalize the world around them and root themselves in a physical and spiritual reality whose existence is continually and increasingly questionable is one of the most fascinating parts of the movie to me Its doubly interesting when you compare it to the Major, who has seemed to wholly accept the jew reality that exists within the Net. If you wanna get deeper into it, theres also themes of the characters being stuck in Samsara, with the Major seemingly having escaped

OMG 😱

gits 2 is trash and embarassmen , compared to first one its a major shit

Rewatching this in theaters ive come to appreciate it on another level. Besides the incredible, dense, and profound writing, the cinematography is incredible,theres a whole story in those "camera" angles. Specifically those uncomfortable, unflattering, slightly off center shots with the characters looking right at the "camera".

ICYMI: June 2024, Ghost in the Shell 2 in theaters for 20th anniversary: gkids.com/films/ghost-in-the-shell-2-innocence/

my comfort video tbh

which, by the way, is vast and infinite... nice touch

I come back to this every so often. Truly one of the best essays on this site.

What's the theme that starts playing in the background at 15:15?

Hello, please, if it is possible to traduce subtitles in english. Thank you❤

Such a great video! Any more of them related to innocence would be much appreciated

Great

great breakdown

I know this is a 7 year old video. But come on guys. We can do better than causing this video’s most replayed part. A bonk for us all. 😂

Nepal’s

The set was pretty convincing, zoomed out you can tell the N. Korean main building is smaller than the real one.

Amazing work, honestly I admire the work you did and the analysis of the movie.

I LOVE this analysis! Wow! Give me patlabors, akiras and more gits breakdowns❤

is it vast or infinite? pick one

I feel like they're different but they go together really well with no complaints

12:07 If you think about it, these are things we're doing to other humans too. If cloning and making androids are morally wrong, then what about procreation that does almost the same thing?

After I saw this I couldn’t help but see the concept of kids being used, their innocence to do devious things and how that relates / mirrors to sex trafficking now by politicians / powerful people ( Epstein ).

I Personally knew someone who served on the DMZ back in the 80s I fondly Remember our Conversations He later became a Catholic Monk #JSA #Movie

Complete the oshi trilogy! :P gits 3!!!

Hey, Harrison! I've not watched any of the Alien franchise except Prometheus, which... honestly I didn't enjoy. I laughed a little because they played into the sci-fi trope of "barren women are capable of birthing alien creatures" and I totally predicted it. But. . . that movie screamed "sequel" in a way that I didn't think "Aliens" was an answer to. And then her unceremonious offscreen death in said sequel just felt insulting. That said, I enjoyed your commentary. I also noticed you're doing talking to camera mixed in with your film footage! Is that working better for you?

Ghost in the Shell 2 was an absolutely horrific abomination. I had seen the first movie and absolutely loved it and I had watched most of the actual ghost in the Shell series, I had never seen the second movie and my boyfriend asked me about what happened to the major after the first movie because he watched the first one with me one night. I was like "Oh there's a second movie that I've never seen let's watch it" and it was the worst abomination I've ever seen and the only reason we stuck it out was for the fact that I wanted to know how it ended...

This is what happens when you eliminate the holy trinity of dungeoneering, there's a reason why there's a tank and healer instead of all dps.

I'm still offended at your dislike of Prometheus!

So I learned about that Studio ADI clip ("I'm getting dark pictures here, Tom." "Shut up, Dave.") through forums, where it's sometimes used as a smoking gun that the production was sabotaged from the inside. I can guarantee that nearly that exact exchange happened somewhere along in the production among producers, but ADI had nothing to do with the lighting. They might have even been poking fun at the set policy in that moment. Tom Woodruff and Alec Gillis did a commentary for AVPR where they mostly promoted their book, but that might be worth looking at again for any possible references to the eternal question of Why is AVPR so DARK?

Beautiful

Just got togusa in codm and want to know more about ghost in a shell

I just came across this video essay and was excited to see what else you did and was a little sad there wasn't much more. You deserved more attention than you got.

This is still the best anime 18 years on. So I am comfortable to say that this is the best anime of all time in this particular genre of it. Thanks for this video. It continues to be underrated in 2022 and I wish for people to talk more about it. It is simply amazing.

This is an excellent movie. While Kusanagi's body is not in it which was initially disapointing, the movie is so good that i can ignore that point.

cool

Ghost in the Shell 2 is fantastic. And 2d and 3d work well together.

This movie is one of my favorites. I've seen it multiple times and each time I discover something new about it. Your analysis of the films structure helps make it make more sense than before. I never picked up on the grief angle, but I did get the "lonely" bit. It makes much more sense that he's grieving the loss of the Major. I always felt is was something more complex but it was pretty basic. Can't believe I missed that.

This movie wouldn't happen in real life

If you think about it, what are Gynoids, other than glorified fleshlights? They’re a recreation of the opposite sex, without autonomy - a slave. As with slavery, it’s another form of *dehumanization.* Until mankind can recognize and overcome its nature to otherize, dehumanize and dominate; it will never evolve beyond a species capable of universal empathy or understanding.

This video was supposed to be a video that puts me to sleep within 5 minutes of starting. But it got me awoke all night because of your great take and narration. I thought to myself "wow i must've hit another big movie channel" until i realized this is a video from 7 years ago with only 28k views from a channel of only several hundreds subscribers. This is way too high quality for the little amount of exposure it gets, should've atleast hit a million in few months with this effort Also i found this vid from the cross-border spitting contest scene video

By no means, I enjoyed her in this film. Nor the actress nor the character. No need for the English language. However, she is beautiful...

After rewatching both the 1995 and Innocense back to back after recently finishing the Arise series, you come to appreciate the relationships between the characters more and the emotional impacts of it. For Batou, Motoko isn't just a friend, she was more akin to his significant other and you understand his grief even more in Innocense. I've seen it in real life, a man loses his wife, shuns out the world, stoicism/nihilism, and lives for nothing other than his work and dog. And him questioning the meaning of life and existentialism, like how Motoko did. Batou is looking for answers to why Motoko left him, where she had gone and is she happy. And at the end when she says that she will forever be by his side gives him some closure and acceptance. In his own way, he had found some solace in continuing to live on. In some ways, I envy Batou because unlike in the real world you don't get closure directly from the dearly departed.

You confirmed my belief that PG 13 is what R was. What do the powers want to do to the children.

Innocence dose NOT use cell animation, that is absolutely untrue, it's digital

Brilliant analysis

Great analysis. I wish they'd gone a step further, basically AI is now fully sapient and in the worst twist of fate, being molested and therefore rebelling and committing suicide.

too bad the people who made the live action version never looked at it like the way you did.

Wow! That's the kind of breakdown which, in the early Nineties, would have been part of college coursework.
