Why call this Ghost in the Shell if the only thing about the story you keep is the cyberpunk look and body swapping? WHITEWASHING Yet, here I am, shocked at the nerve of it all. Screenwriter Jamie Moss never planned on making anything smart, or close to the source material. That pretty much a tells you the whole plot. “They did not save your life: they stole it,” this quote is from the trailer said by Kuze (Micheal Pitt). She’s created against her will and made to do Section 9’s bidding. I guess this is what drives the revenge plot. According to the story, Mira is the newest and most perfect weapon.
What happens is, in her new Shell, Mira the white feminist Cyborg is forced to work for Section 9 by some omniscient character. Nothing about the original Ghost in the Shell has been about revenge. Even the trailers denote this adaptation is nothing more than a revenge story. It’s a hodge-podge of familiar elements from different parts of the series, but the philosophy and exploration of existentialism seem to be missing. Don’t let a few of the philosophical conversations in the trailers fool you.
#Ghost in the shell movie
The plot of this movie is nothing like anything in the original Ghost in The Shell films or shows. Here are the takeaways from what I have seen of Paramount’s Ghost in the Shell so far. You would think Hollywood would learn, yet here we are, on the precipice of another anime-adapted flop. Either their stories veer too far from the source material, the director isn’t a good fit or the casting makes no sense. Most noticeably, Hollywood adaptations of Japanese anime have yet to be successful. But the announcement of the cast and story has made things much worse. From the announcement of the project, this has always been a bad idea. On February 28, I saw a 15-minute sneak peek of the Hollywood adaptation of Ghost in the Shell.
