Puppets mastered


Ghost in the Shell (1995)

Directed by Mamoru Oshii this anime also known as “Mobile Armored Riot Police” is based on the manga of the same name. In the near future a cybernetically enhanced police officer tries to track down an elusive hacker.

Coming with a fairly large reputation as one of the inspirations of The Matrix (1999) this film certainly lives up to it's billing. The main themes of the film are the future of man kind and role technology may play in our evolution. While the script is good it could go a little further into explaining some of the technology used in the film as I did find myself having to make guesses at what stuff was a fair amount of the time.

4/5
