Waste of time, GTA 6 could've waited for a game like Ghost in the Shell instead. Imagine a next gen game but with visuals as crispy as old Anime with an actual cool cyberpunk vibe.
It finally hit me, how much this scene reminded me of that iconic one from Miami Vice's first episode. The bit with Crockett and Tubbs, driving to "In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins. Similar vibes.
Scenes like these that gives audience time to absorb the vibes and reflect on the previous events of the film is something I really really miss nowadays, not just in anime but films as a whole.
I remember when teletoon would show anime movies around midnight during the holidays. I was no older than 14 when i first saw this movie dubbed in french. I was transfixed by this sequence. As i grew older i came to appreciate it more and more. This music will always remind me of the night. A night hauntingly melancholic, filled with ghosts.
When I first watched this movie many years ago, I never knew what cyberpunk is. I didn’t knew this scene had gotten so deep into my head, all I knew was I started falling in love with Hong Kong ever since. It was many years later that I found out a lot of scenes in GIS were exactly inspired by Hong Kong streets aesthetically, and you can say pretty much the same with the idea of cyberpunk itself. You can find a lot of Asian cities in there. Tokyo or Hong Kong, large population, exotic, neon-lit, heavy rain, machines struggling to become humans, and humans looking for their lost souls. This movie is fantastic, but this scene alone is masterpiece. It says so much about cyberpunk, and it doesn’t even need a word. Oh and BTW, when I finally got to watch Bladerunner, it was like holy shit now I know what this all came from. That was the grand master. That is our Yoda.
Plastic and solid, solice and terror. My mind rips between what I see and what I try to feel. Echoes of memories not there but laugh from the corner of my eyes. I'm not human but a shell of what I'm trying to forget. Leave me alone, but come here when you do it. Silence and screams.
Watched Akira re-release in the theatres and it was as glorious as it sounds. The thing I would do to watch 1995 Ghost In the Shell in a proper theatre in literal 4K+ resolution.
does it make sense to watch something that came out more than 2 decades ago in 4k resolution? i mean it's not like you can enhance something that just is not there
@@hazardeur I don't have a home theatre with sophisticated sound systems nor a big monitor capable of running bluray discs, I'm poor as folk so I had to go to the theatre and watch it leave me alone :((((
they showed GITS 95 in a limited theater run across America as part of anime expo last year. finally got to experience this scene on the big screen which was a bucket list wish. i teared up.
