攻殻機動隊 – Ghost in the Shell [1995] English Trailer (HD)

Описание: If you don’t know, Ghost In The Shell is a serial-killer conspiracy mystery set in a future where technology is everything and human beings have been augmented with cybernetic parts down to their very brains, which are hardwired into a neural network that I can only describe as having the Internet pumped directly into your mind.

It is the earliest anime and pop culture work that introduced me to the concept of “being,” “reality,” and the philosophy of existentialism.
Ghost in the Shell, Mamoru Oshii's 1995 animated film adaption of Shirow Masamune's classic manga about a cyborg policewoman in Post-Cyberpunk Japan, condenses the original manga's plot by focusing entirely on the "Puppet Master" story; it also takes a much more serious tone than the manga. The film's visuals, action sequences, and large amount of both philosophical ponderings and technobabble all but defined Western conceptions of anime for the better part of a decade.
The film's story takes place in a post-cyberpunk future where cybernetic bodies have become the norm and society conceptualizes a person's mind/soul as their "ghost". Major Motoko Kusanagi, a female cyborg and the leader of a covert government task-force specializing in cybercrime, leads her team on the hunt for a notorious hacker known only as "Puppet Master". The Puppet Master "cyber-hacks" the brains of innocent people and implants memories to turn them into his unwitting accomplices in various crimes.

As brought to life by Mamoru Oshii, the film combines a heady mix of cyberpunk futurism, gritty action, and thought-provoking philosophical ideas in equal measure. The direction is very moody and filled with beautiful, haunting imagery. Oshii's obsessive perfectionism manifests in an amazing attention to detail, with layers upon layers of cluttered visuals fleshing out the workings of this future society. The story questions the very nature of what it means to be human.
