Ghost in the Shell montage sequence HD 1080p 

You know that matte painting backgrounds were mastered in the west right

This is actually a real place called Hong Kong and the city really looks like this in 1960s.

Old school were great maybe you should check out the "Spider-Man Into the Spiderverse"

Nothing in modern anime too. Characters without noses and big eyes looking like a Disney characters. 80s 90s is when Anime peaked.

American Cartoons in 1930s are very good. Also, Soviet era animations are true high class Art.

Not exactly. These scene hits the hardest when it has character context. Don't mistake slowing down the pacing for an alternative to traditional narritive

It was influenced by blade runner

All the people here struggle too much to admit this is true art and it’s perfect the way it is. Stop living in the duality that you always need to highlight the mistakes or put it less amazing. Admit it, this is fucking timeless and spiritual. A true work of art that intends to transform the mind

It does well with what it is. It heavily relies on premise and plot, but is a bit cold with characters. I wish the stakes were hire with the ghost hacked humans who lose their identities and memory. It would really punch up the theme consciousness if you could see more of who these people were to create that sense of loss

@@kristinaant9747 No. Blade Runner was inspired by Ghost In The Shell

Fallschirmjager if this is the standard no other anime will pass

The most resonate and philosophical at that.

@@user-fs9ko6wg2o That's the point, no other anime shall pass.

But what does it mean? I feel stupid, but I wanna understand what they mean by that shot.

@@writershard5065 Kusanagi uses a standard chassis (i.e. her body is standard looking because as a special agent she is not supposed to stand out). In this scene she notices another person using the same chassis. In the whole montage you can see other elements that play into the theme of the body being just another commodity. Theres a sign at 2:52 promising "lifelike performance", propably advertising human dolls, in 1:52 you see fashion dummies in a shop display . At 3:20 you see fashion dummies without clothes and the difference is clear. With clothes they look likelike, without clothes they all look the same and definitely not lifelike. This is a clear parallel to Kusanagi and her chassis - the body is generic, you have to add something to distinguish it from all the other same looking chassis.

@@TheMovingEye She is in a multiple million dollar body. Supposedly unique but average looking. That is why she is so startled. I took it to mean the puppet master is messing with her.

@@rutabagasteu That's what he means by the chassis being the same. You can change all you want under the hood of a car but if you don't change the body panels it's still going to look just like every other car of the same make and model. That being said, I always took it as meaning that the Major's body is entirely off-the-shelf standard and that the only thing unique about her is her mind. Thus playing into the idea of a future where people are defined by what's in their brains, not by how they are "built".

@@siefer117 Exactly, the complete opposite of what's happening today lol

Yes. I lived in a citylike environment for close to six years. It was a relief to come home in the evening away from all the dirt. But in a strange way, that environment too touched me. I come back to this montage to relive that part

This anime is inspire from Hong kong

The dog was the only one capable to open his mind to new stimulus. It welcomed you without any thought. Pure loving souls.

Nah, it is clearly about identity. What is our identity when it is formed by some system and do we want to continue in the molding process.

I on the other hand sees the city as a constructed organism (although the plane passing over made me think of reefs), the people and movements as cells or streams, the waterways as arteries. I don't get the feeling of loneliness when seeing this scene, what I was thinking of were parallells.

Nonsense, the real golden era is the modern trend of anime's based in high schools featuring an awkward male main protagonist and his struggle to thrive in a school full of large breasted female peers. /s

I have those same feels

at least we have fan service

Has been for almost 20 years...

What you mean you don't like moe moe kawaii girls and big bewbs!?

Show, don't tell.

I was 14 20 years ago when i saw this and it blew me away just like Akira. Seen Akira?

***** - Yep, I have Akira. Another one of my favorites.

GTwo Seen Ninja Scroll, Wicked City, Vampire Hunter D 1 and 2, Metropolis, The Last Unicorn, Fist of the north star, Golgo 13 The Professional etc.? other fine anime

Le reddit armie has arrived XDDDDDDD LE ANIME WAS LE BETTER IN LE GOLDEN LE AGE As a moderator of r/anime, I can tell you that this was the golden age of anime.

Metropolis is a truly magical movie on a very similar level to Ghost in the Shell

Almost 25 years old. Amazing

waltar white

Almost 30 years old, GODDAMN

25 years old

GitS will celebrate it's 27th birthday in November, 2022.

+InnerPartisan I thought Anno and Miyazaki said that was a joke!

What about Akira and Ninja Scroll?

Its called modern anime, pre-2000s anime had shown some golden animation masterpieces.

TheGamerXU What about Ghibli, Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust, Metropolis and Cowboy Bebop The Movie and Girl who Lept Through Time and Ghost in The Shell 2?

Johnlindsey289 I get what you say, but they are nowhere near as complicated as GitS, at least from a philosophycal and social standpoint, not even Miyazaki's ones - which has a completely different approaches to stories than Oshii, which is why Oshii doesn't like Miyazaki not even GitS 2, but you can see how someother things Oshii made (like Patlabor 2 or Jin-Roh) are much more "deep" also this scene is a perfect example of how they are actually narrating something of the psychology of Motoko without even a fuckin' word, which is storytelling at his finest

Reminds me of scarface

It borrows the theme from "Floating Museum," the song that plays during Major Kusanagi's fight with the spider tank near the end of the movie. It's truly a reflective piece that hints to the self-reflective nature of transcendence and evolution that follows the spider-tank encounter. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-S9579XgUUds.html&ab_channel=GhostInTheShellOST

Reminds me a bit of Donkey Kong Country 2 Soundtrack "Forest Interlude"

Imagine a world where our bodies are bought off the rack with a set number of predetermined faces Nobody would look like their parents. Indeed, dna itself would be redundant to either be non-existent or worthless Everywhere you look in a crowded city you see thousands of you

One of the best sequences in Movies history my friend. Such Masterpiece

@benpodvia5744 No it takes place in New Port City aka Niihama. In the intro of the movie they literally say it.

Exactly. City so full but as an indivixual u may find it lonely longing after your loved ones

I'm not sure about that. From the little snippets I have seen so far, they seem to be pretty on point in regards to the type casting. Interiors seem to have been done very well also. The outside, we will have to wait. Overall we might be pleasantly surprised yet.

Animation vs live action...it's apples to oranges, I'm so fucking sick of you negative Nancies

well, skepticism towards live-action adaptations of mango and animu is based upon the massive representation of the failed latter. (with some great exceptions, such as Edge of Tomorrow - adaptation of the "All you need is kill" manga) I agree though, that new GITS movie seems steady in the spirit of the original, now it's all up to the execution. I'm afraid there will be a lack of thick political fiction layer in the plot, or could be reduced to mere premise. I liked how the original acheived fragile balance between political fiction, technical and existential aspects, dillemas and emerging philosophies from the near future (which I think is the definition of the true cyberpunk genre). Live action seems to be more on the philosopical, existential side, but we'll see. Also, the atmosphere to which Retromind refers is one-of-its-kind Mamoru Oshii's vision of the GITS. Anime universe also comprises of 2 seasons of SAC series, few films and Arise OVA prequels, which are ringing the different notes, and deepening the lore significantly as compared to the 1995 film. And I think this is important beacuse to me, the GITS world is as important as the characters populating it. I hope the film will be a success and will get a chance to get a continuation and unfold in a longer, but suitable format of for example 10 1-hour episodes, and that the GITS will finally get the wide recognition and critical acclaim it deserves.

I watched last night and i can say what was 70-80% percent, way better than i expected!!

im obssessed with GITS and I think the movie was way above my expectations. =) pretty convincing at the very least.

I'm kinda late, but a scene from made in abyss actually has a good sequence. The sunrise scene is breathtaking.

Can you believe it's a wedding song haha.

@@LunarPenguin42 ...

There definitely have been better drawn and animated anime movies and anime series than this both older and newer, both in similar art style and modern. You are just plain wrong.

​@@SahilP2648 >says youre wrong > doesnt back it up > leaves common L

@@nunsense9489 lmao. You are blind as hell buddy and haven't seen nearly as many anime as me. It shows, and I don't need to waste my time providing examples.

@@SahilP2648 can you drop some names? actually curious and interested to see what new animes are on this caliber

Afterall its a bad sequel but this film won several awards for its visual aesthetics at that time in 2004-2005

not yet... it still needs a hundred years

@@adelvoid1530 The scenes are mostly in the old part of the town and it looks exactly like how it was in Hong Kong 20 or 30 years ago.

Or Tokyo

@@adelvoid1530 not yet? It is Hong Kong's neon signboard ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5ZTs9zJwzos.html

@randomguy8196 i think its actually central of hong kong. search up hollywood road of hong kong, it looks exactly the same as 2:37 even to this day

so true!

Recommend me another cyberpunk film

Deus Ex achieves this atmosphere way better.
