Too much of everything
If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.
Everything about this movie is just incredible, from the questions posed about humanity to the stunning animation. True, more things could've been explained, but they don't need to be. I would highly recommend this movie to all fans of sci-fi or animation.
It feels bad for me to say this, because I love the cyberpunk genre, but if you've read the Neuromancer before seeing Ghost in the Shell it wouldn't be as satisfactory as seeing it before reading it. It isn't fair to compare a book with a film, as they are different mediums and we should not compare the two, because of the difference in strengths and weaknesses. In this case the idea of the story is close enough that you can't keep your mind off it. Ghost in the Shell is not structured to be able to keep up with the depth of the portrayed concepts. Either, you would need to have more screen time (83 minutes is not enough) or have different volumes of one story rather than sequels. The other option would be to simplify the story, which in this case Mamoru Oshii tried to do and failed to an extent. But, I loved the atmosphere and the music in the film. If only it were written in another way, this would have been one of my favourite anime films.
If you haven't seen it - it's a must.Probably not everyone's cup of tea but a VERY important Sci-Fi that has inspired countless of clones, Anime-wise or Big Screen.9 out of 10 for its importance.
It's a masterpiece of film, cyberpunk and animation. Stylish, dirty, deep, shallow, melancholy or chaotic it's always engrossing and beautiful. It captures a living complex world so lovingly, with characters and relationships that hide so many details the deeper you delve. Truly a classic piece of futurist art.
