Professional Review of "Ghost in the Shell 2 : INNOCENCE Collector BOX (Limited Edition)(Japan Version)"
This professional review refers to Innocence - Ghost in the Shell 2 International Version (Japan Version - English Subtitles)
|
Innocence - Ghost in the Shell 2 is unlike anything you have seen before. The viewer is lost in a sea of lush visuals that seamlessly blend a Blade Runner noir future with traditional Japanese iconography. The level of texture detail is astounding with even the wood grain of a door frame revealing varnished depths. CG is integrated seamlessly. A set piece in a convenience store simply has to be seen to be believed – then confirmed by a friend. Anime has never looked so beautiful. Innocence is such a visual feast that afterwards, I felt like I needed to go on an anime diet. With the disappearance of Major Kusanagi, the story centers around two of her colleagues, the cyborg-enhanced Batou and the human, Togusa. The film is infused with a beautiful melancholy, a love story subtext that reflects Batou’s feelings for the absent Major. This feeling is only enhanced by the monolithic skycrapers that cast the city in perpetual shadow and a golden smog-diffused sun. The direction and staging are truly awesome. Action sequences recall John Woo circa Hard Boiled. A visit to a coroner’s office is inspired in its contrasting minimalism and a traditional parade in the free trade zone is just magnificent in its detail. The wonderful female chorus from the first film is revisited giving the experience that otherworldly quality. Of course with human and cyborg characters in place, Mamoru Oshii can indulge his continuing exploration of what it means to be human. The film is filled with humans who crave technological perfection and cyborgs that want biological continuity. As themes, these are fine. However, in the second act, Oshii has his characters engage in didactic tracts. The principals quote Milton and Keats, and there are so many animal metaphors for life that the film feels like a trip to an existential zoo. These exchanges sound like Oshii’s musings rather than the character’s beliefs, and have the twin effect of taking the viewer out of the experience and becalming the film. The third act thankfully shakes viewers with a bang. Oh yes, Oshii’s beloved basset hounds also return - and was that an implication that bassets are the highest form of consciousness? One thing that struck me watching Innocence is that Oshii’s female sex robots, with rolls of baby-like fat, seem intentionally sexless. Simply from a commercial point of view it seems odd. For all his thoughts on the processes of life, desire does not seem to be part of Oshii’s equation. Even Batou’s longing for the Major is sublimated. Although Innocence is not a perfect film, it is a sensory experience that has to be seen. The film’s visual splendor more than makes up for Oshii’s pace-killing theorizing and its finale saves it from dropping too far back in the pack. After Innocence, you won’t look at anime the same way again. 9 questions of existence out of 10 by Andrew Symons - Heroic-Cinema.com |

| i disagree that this movie is for fans only. i never even heard of the orginal flick before this film was released. my boyfriend, an anime and manga fan, dragged me to see it and i was blown away, by both imagery and plot. i rushed to rent and watch the first, and was even more impressed with philosophy behind these movies. i've seen each movie atleast three times and hope to watch more when i purchase them both on dvd. |

"Innocence" is the long awaited sequel to Ghost in the Shell (& the follow up to Stand Alone Complex & 2nd Gig). In my oppinion this film is the Greatest achievment in Animation Art work & Cinematic Artistic direction of ALL time. This film is a "Must Watch" for all Animation fans. Although the story line in complex, you will find yourself watching this film over & over. Its Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

| Ghost in the shell 2, Innocence has some visually appealing eye candy. The computer animation is integrated into very well into the cell animation. The story though is another monster in itself. The plot is highly complex with lots of philosophy about man and machine in between action scenes. This movie is for fans only, as any casual viewer will not be able to follow this movie from the beginning to the end. The commander(name?) from the first ghost in the shell only makes an appearance at the very end of the movie, it's a bit dissapointing she only shows up in the end. Overall, a decent flick for ghost in the shell fans.. if you are not, stay away. |
