Why was this shit so fucking bad?

It was ok

I had to turn it off 10 minutes in. The entire casting selection was fucked up.

You can stop pretending that you liked it, OP

That's a pretty retarded critique as the cyborgs could have been any race at all. Knowing the Japanese they'd love to have an European looking face.

so....their main audience demographic?

Knowing the Japanese they'd love to have a PRETTY face as opposed to a Scarjo face.
>That's a pretty retarded critique as the cyborgs could have been any race at all.
If you care about sticking to the source material it's actually quite important since cyborgs need to look similar to their original body to avoid going bonkers over time.
If you do not care about the source material, why try to adapt GitS instead of something more famous and easier to adapt?

>generic cyborg person thinks “wot if me no soul” movie #2331445688421
Right now I can't think of any other movie, care to help me?

I'm pretty sure they had zero idea what their main audience demographic was supposed to be. Once again, the artbook contradicts itself on this topic.

Let's be honest, people who hated that movie hate it because they fall for leftist chinks complaining that Motoko was white even if the goddam Ghost in the Shell section 9 don't even looks asians.

>have a badass killing machine
>hire ScarJo

Hands of Steel (which is a lot better) comes to mind
then there's robocop and every robocop ripoff
then there's blade runner and every blade runner ripoff
then there's GitS (the movie) and all of its sequels and ripoffs

Let's be honest, people who complain about Motoko being white don't actually hate that movie at all, they just saw an opportunity to virtue signal by pretending to hate it.

People who hate the movie hate it because it's bad and because Scarjo is ugly and boring.

No soul

>bonkers
Is that why it was important for the major to have tits and even nipples?

Borma was black on the movie and nobody cared because nobody cares about Borma on the first place, he is probably virgin.

that too

yes but also because she's a slut. It's an important part of her character and I'm not being ironic.

I kinda cared because I preferred his look as a japanese thumb-looking guy

Ah yes, I didn't think of it that way.
>Hands of Steel
Damn, that's one movie from beyond the grave.

yes and it's also dumb schlock but it's cooler and less massively pretentious.

Speaking of, we often call the 95 movie pretentious but that's fucking nothing compared to the 2017 one

He was the creep of the team. pretty sure he is a coomer who masturbate on Motoko simulations.

no that would be Batou. Bouma doesn't do rape jokes at her.

It was a completely different story with completely different characters that copied shots and entire sequences from Ghost in the Shell.
As this narrative was much less complex and interesting, each shot you're meant to recognise just invites you to compare it with the vastly superior film you remember it from. This makes everything seem shit by comparison.
Change the name of the film and the characters, and stop directly copying visuals form the anime and you'd have a passable sci-fi blockbuster.

Batou is on the friend zone, he still not realized Motoko is a dyke.

she's bi, though

she'll fuck anyone who isn't Batou

But I dont remember her doing anything slutty in GiTS or GiTS SAC.

when people complain about white characters being played by black actors, do they actually care or are they just virtue signalling?

Fuck no, modern day Japs SUCK at acting

that still wouldn't fix the ugly production design but it would certainly be an improvement

>no nudity
>pathetic cyber punk
>pg13
>low bugget
>miscast
>bad cgi
>bad action scenes
the producers thought it was a story for the whole family

complete failure to understand the original's themes AND story.

The original film was about a rogue AI causing havoc that they couldn't capture because they thought it was a human. SAC had a story about an ex soldier seeking to free the refugees by abandoning their bodies to live on the net.

Flab in the Shell is about a rogue refugee causing havoc because he misses his girlfriend who is also a refugee but has amnesia. Just what the fuck.

Do you have a torrent for the artbook or can you put it on mega?

Can't say, I was just talking about the reaction to that one specific movie.

>hipless dresses
GOD FUCK why aren't these used more.

Fine whatever make her Korean it's not like we can tell the difference.

ideally, that film should have been made in 1993 as a co-production between Hong Kong and Japan

pretty sure it's still on sadpanda, that's where I saw it.
It's pretty hilarious how many lies and pretentious bullshit it contains

Batou is pretty cool, why did she not cares about him?
pretty sure Aramaki already fucked her.

I dont read comics bruh.

I can

in SAC she used her clivage to distract a soldier in London. on season 2 there is also an episode about an old rich dude who has sex dolls and she pretended to be interested.

It was basically "So now I truly became the Ghost in the Shell" - the Movie. Hilariously poorly written.

see
it's a holdover from the fact that in the manga, he constantly comes off as a dense idiot who keeps inadvertently being rude to her, which instantly defuses whatever sexual tension might have built up between them.
Those scenes are usually slapstick jokes, and since the anime adaptations have a lot less humor, that aspect of his character doesn't really come through, so you don't quite get why he doesn't score with her.

Cringe

Every shot in the anime is from a position a person could stand, be it the ground or an apartment window. Also the relatively quiet sound design and long scenes of dialogue make it seem like quite a grounded, lived-in cyberpunk future. Also everything is dirty and a bit drab.
The Scarjo remake goes full chrome and neon and is full of "cool" sweeping CGI shots, completely taking away the weight and tactility of the world and making it generic hollywood future #7623562

let's be specific now

the artbook contains the director's plan for her character arc:

I AM MAJOR
plot
WHO AM I?
plot
I AM WHO I AM

Remember the spider tank battle scene?
Yeah

It aped a bunch of iconic scenes enough to put them in as trailers to fool people into thinking it was going to be faithful to any of the previous incarnations
Since its plot was completely made up with a hodgepodge of names taken from across the franchise, though, the "iconic" scenes were utterly devoid of meaning or context. It's an incredibly shallow cash grab

>The Scarjo remake goes full chrome and neon
actually no, it goes for a bit of that and then a bit of super gritty formicapunk and then regular modern-day shit and then anachronistic traditional weeaboo tech and then also some steampunk clockwork shit
It's a fucking mess of conflicting visions

>Every shot in the anime is from a position a person could stand
well except for opening, and the CGI stuff which lasts three seconds

Oshii's choice of perspectives isn't informed by "could a person be standing there?" it's more informed by "can I make it a really dramatic high angle or low angle shot that shows a lot of depth?"

Since it's a movie about connecting heaven and earth, that kind of crap, you gotta show that there's a lot of distance, and create vertigo.

Just that shot makes so much difference

>and the director can't draw
nailed it

once again, a result of inconsistent design

on the one hand the set designer wanted things to look busy and modern to make it fun to look at for modern audiences

on the other hand the director of photography wanted things to look very close in tone to the animated movie so he tried to replicate the same lighting with the window. Only now there's a giant secondary light source that fucks it up

and on the other other hand the director wanted there to be shots that copy the animated film, but draws bad so he couldn't convey basic things like color blocking in his scribbly storyboard.

primary light source I mean

but secondary cause it's not the window

he tries! by god did he try. But it looks like some scribbly indie cartoon bullshit

But who was ghost?

this lil cutie

Do you have any examples of the director's bad drawings?
Wait, can there be two primary light sources?

There's a pretty good articke about how the director of this film cheated on his wife, he was basically stuck directing commercials and when he gets a tiny bit of success he steps out. Wife was gorgeous too. He cheated with Kristen Stewart and his wife played her mother in the film he directed.
