What most people don't realize when they say they don't like the matrix 2 and 3 is that when the matrix moved away from the source materiel ( Ghost in the Shell ) and tried to make it its own stand alone IP, is when that series went down the crapper. Ghost in the shell in my mind is truly an amazing piece of art, esp when you consider the original cyber punk that it is based off of was long before the internet.
I was watching a Bruce Wills movie which seemed more like Ghost In The Shell where people used clones or robots sort of like the chacters in Ghost in the shell do. The Matrix moves more like an anime would be a better way of putting it.
Hollywood routinely confuses visuals with aesthetics...I recently had the displeasure of seeing some of Avatar The Last Airbender, despite numerous warnings...They have got to go to a Japanese film school or something.
I like both movies, the first original Matrix, and Ghost in the shell (the last a bit more - only the movie, not the series and other stuff).. of course Matrix is heavy influenced by gits... but also by other things...
everyone knows the wachowsky brothers used it as inspiration, which is not a bad thing...
whats the song from 1:30 on?... its very very nice and cyberpunkish...
U can tell Matrix is heavily Inspired by "Ghost in the Shell." When she jumps off the building, Jacking in2 the mainframe, when she takes on that bipedal tank, and it shoots up the pillars. Even the Character herself is just like Trinity. Id saw Aeon flux also helped inspire the Matrix. Infact theres quite alot of stuff that Inspired the Matrix, although Ghost in the Shell Inspired it the most.
@jojobabyface Well Hugo Weaving i think does play a more fun antagonist than they have in the GITS show. He's just so pompous but bad ass. I think thats where most of the kick ass dialogue comes from anyway ^w^ Though he would have his ass handed over to him by the major (obligatory fanboy defensiveness shining through, sorry ^_^; )
thank you lawalaw you just gave me yet another reason to hate the matrix. i love ghost in the shell and ninja scrolls and the matrix just butchered the h**l out of those. well done hollywood well done.
Wow I never realized how many similarities there were. Very interesting. Well I think both are cool. But Ghost in the Shell is probably closer to my heart because I love anime so much ^_^
Yay!!! It took me quite a time to find it, but (for anyonw who wants the name too), the song played during the comparison part is called "Beauty never fades" by Junkie XL Feat :P
Oh cmon, stop whinning and arguing over which one is better. I've never watched Ghost in the Shell (and I don't want to, I've been told it's for more mature audiences), but just hearing the creators of The Matrix (which is one of my fav movies) LIKE anime, and even were inspired by one, makes me happy as hell :D
@MirroRMimi You don't really have a loud voice in this kind of discussion if you haven't seen both films, and playing peacemaker when you say things like 'i've been told it's for more mature audiences' means your either very young or immature seem daft. And for those of you going on about rip off's I hope you realise that Mamoru Oshii was influenced by Blade runner directed by Ridley Scott.
1) I'm not trying to play peacemaker, I was just pointing out something I thought was great.
2)I am indeed very young. That may mean I don't know a lot of things, but it doesn't mean I don't have the right to say what I think.
3) When I was 9 years old all I wanted was to roleplay "The Matrix" with the boys at my school. Girls my age thought I was a freak for watching that kind of movies, and all of that eventually led to a lot of things,...
@celteen even if I didn't know it by then. Nowdays I watch anime, play videogames, etc, etc, etc, typical wannabe teen stuff, but I love it. By then I didn't even know I liked anime, so TODAY, getting to know they both (matrix and anime) had some sort of conection is just GREAT :D!
I never criticized GITS, never compared both films, neither talked about the movie itself, so I don't think not watching the movie had any impact on waht I said. Why did I tell you all of this. Cause I'm bored.
Well it looks as though the wait is over much to my reservations. GITS was in fact just picked up by none other then Steven Spielberg DreamWorks Pictures. Say what!! Yea that blew me away as well but it has already been confirmed. This has me more then a little worried. How do you top a film which inspired matrix among others. James Cameron would have been my first choice but he is busy with Battle Angel after he finished Avatar II.
whether its copied or inspired or whatever.... they can never reach the level of awesomeness of ghost in the shell........ i really hope Steven Spielberg wont ruin it in his gits remake T^T
I think the similarites are a little overboard. The matrix is inspired by ghost in the shell but if you've truly seen the matrix and ghost in the shell you would know the similarites ends with what's depicted in this video. The story of ghost in the shell and the matrix are so completely different and the matrix seems to have been inspired by anime in general. And kill bill inspired by ninja scroll??! Look at ninja scroll and look at kill bill how is it inspired?
matrix was inspired by ghost in the shell. ghost in the shell was inspired by neuromancer. neuromancer was inspired by naked lunch and so on. i'm getting tired of uneducated weeaboos abusing the word rip-off when a western movie is inspired by anime, but are unaware that the greatest animes drew heavily from western movies and literature.
seems like you are the uneducated one... dont know the correct definition of the word weeabo... Weeabo means a wanna be japanese and is obsessed with the japanese culture. But this word has nothing to do with animefans...
Who said its a rip-off? Its an influence and thats the point of this video.
You may say japanese are crazy strange people but they are so creative!! man anime and manga are so full of fantastic stories and ideas its like if they could see the future or some other world and create a story out of it =)
when i saw matrix in the first time, i couldn't stop laughing (not loudly of course, it's just bad manners to do it in the theater).. i kept on seeing parts of ghost in the shell in it, mostly the parts where the movie slow's down to show what really happens before something breaks and before the fight scenes... it was soo ghost in the shell, i showed the anime movie and series to my friends and they just couldn't believe it..
For the record from an pure story and sci fi movie standpoint Ghost in the Shell is the better and more mature movie some how.
The Matrix isn't as philosophical as the movie or TV series. But the Matrix is more visually appealing at times. This race would be even closer without Martix 2 and 3 which I thought were not as good.
Interesting how matrix takes elements from gits and cowboy bebop and keen reeves is playing spike in liven action adaption of cowboy bebop anyone see the irony?
ok so now i know why gits inspired matrix...in fact matrix just copied some of the scenes directly out of the book when they could have done something more original.
ANIME OWNS. PERIOD. Nothing can come close to it. I hate - and I repeat...I HATE the fact that most viewers of movies such as Inception or The Matrix think that they are original and MIND-CRUSHING and something NEW.
Go watch Paprika, Ghost in the Shell, Akira, and Miyazaki's works!
@shadowpal2 im not saying that inception and the matrix are original but the worlds they've created are original, the world of the dream and the matrix aren't entirely like Ghost in the Shell, but its obvious that some inspirations come from it
Most agree and would you say the same for James Cameron's Avatar? i mean that was influenced by Miyazaki's works and Cameron admits it, he is a huge anime fan who even praised GITS on the back of the DVD with his critique. Avatar was like Princess Mononoke and Nausicaa combined even with references to those two movies as much as The Matrix owes to Akira, Ninja Scroll and GITS. Even Michael Bay is a big anime fan as he cite GITS as one of The Island's influences.
@shadowpal2 tsss... most of it if not all was first in books, there is borges, harlan ellison, gibson, Philip K. Dick and more.
Its all on the presentation, you are just bashing inception and matrix because you don't like them, not for valid reasons, if you want to defend originality, defend books, anime and overall any film depends too much on visual aestethics for that.
@Voltronx4rmHell1 GITS is far deeper than Matrix, have you seen the GITS SAC series? It talks about psychology and sociology in a realistic way, and besides, we have the animation.
@avalonpreen Yes I have seen everything GITS i have read all three mangas watched the series multiple times i love GITS it is my favorite anime period i was just being short with my comment about the video if it was taken out of context
@Johnlindsey289 It is without a doubt! I have watch anime from 1989 to as of recent......( i don't have a life it seems) and from all the AWESOME things that i saw Akria is better than ghost in the shell but it gives it competition!
If you have watched the above video, you already watched that they literally COPY whole scenes from GITS. Have you really watched GITS? Because it does not seem so. Matrix talks about individuality in a very shallow way,and the action has been taken from animes like GITS,I acknowledge they have had some original ideas of their own but 98% of Matrix is copied.
lol we need some one eles ..not holywood but mebe some ppl that came up with it say the pros? lol make a good ,great movie of ghost in the shell it would be bad ass =3 hahaha
Face it, hollywood is inspired by anime! Akira influenced the Matrix too. Inception was influenced by Paprika and GITS plus bits of akira, Avatar influenced by parts of GITS, Nausicca Valley of the Winds and Wind Named Amensia.
@71443823614 nice ,, i just saw somebody sell this Ghost In The Shell whole completed set with 4movies. .. anyone who have interest , please check on the ..... store88.com
seeing how much respect the mangakas and anime creators have for the wachowski brothers should sway any person from saying that they "ripped off" anime.
I think GITS (manga, anime and movies) has much better predictions about technology than both matrix and blade runner. (Read cellphone will become cyberbrains)
the director of matrix said himself that he used elements in gits. Actors were given a copy o gits & the director said that they will be doing those anime stuff,just in real life
I agree, GiTS is much deeper and much more well planned out, it looks kind of like the Wachiowksi brothers tried taking little parts of everything and jumbling them together , I heard the matrix's story was pretty much ripped from a book called The Third eye or something? Is that true?
Noone ever mentions Megazone 23. I found a lot of Matrix elements in that anime as well but it as if that one was forgotten or something which is a shame because it's a great old anime.
it's not a copy, it's part of the same genre of sci fi...most people are used to their typical fantasy sci fi or sci fi adventures set in space...both of these are classified under Cyberpunk, like Tron or Bladerunner, or that book about The Matrix called Neuromancer... It's basically fiction based on futurist ideas, and philosophical questions about what it would be like to plug our brains up to the net, and how that would work along with the ramifications of having AI in such settings..
I really hope that the live action GitS will come late enough in the current Hollywood fad; there are always certain mediums that they choose to adapt, like literature, graphic novels and video games, but lately it seems like the early stuff is crap and they only start to take it seriously later on. I hope GitS (and Bebop, for that matter) are late enough into the fad and get decent budgets, and are taken seriously enough. DB:E was crap.
thats akira your thinking off and they will be white with Japanese names and it wont make any sense, but it could be with GITS too, i don't know the location for that one.
The thing is, a lot of people in animes are drawn like white people. Im not saying make everyone white, but its a Hollywood film, most of the cast will be white. I've watched Japanese films and I have to say that the acting isn't as great as American, English, or Russian actors. I want it to be in Japan, but I don't mind white actors as long as they are good.
Two good movies, both talking about the relationship of humans and machines ( OK, in reality, there is now AI), but in different ways, which are both cool.
I don't mind if Hollywood wants to make Japanese Anime into movies, but movies like Ghost in the Shell have a deep meaning and a set standard. If something is changed or altered from the anime shows, there will be a big let down. Each end episode of Ghost in the Shell usually held some type of special moral lesson or ironic scene. Lets pray things don't get changed too much!
Yeah, its a copy in some ways, but it also did some stuff to define itself as something other than GITS. I still think GITS is superior, but the first Matrix was a damn good movie.
You can see by the pictures,the scenery that Blade Runner had alot of impact on Mamoru Oshii the creator of both Gost in the Shell and Ghost in the Shell:Innocence
Blade Runner was made 20 years to early. If there were more anime fans back then it would have been a huge hit.First thing anime was not big in the 70s and 80s. We had Starblazers Tosho Daimos just a hand full of anime.And only kids watched the stuff,Oh and we called it Japanimation back in the day. Me im glad to see Hollywood embrace anime and im looking forward to more live action. But now im an adult I dont like the pg13 crap.District 9's mech fight was the shit. bloody hardcore,true to life.
the application of anime techniques to live action footage is a brilliant idea in The Matrix because it makes the "real" world look unreal, like a computer program (which is the point of the movie)
then the sequels went insane and tried to be some kind of actual anime film where great action is sprinkled between long drawn out overdone talking scenes.
What is the name of the song/music that is played in the very beginning of the video? Right from the start until around 1:25?
I don't mean "Junkie XL Feat. Saffron - Beauty Never Fades", which starts at around 1:27, comparison section. I mean the song before that. I have been searching for it for years...It is not on the Animatrix soundtrack and I think that it is not on "The Ultimate Matrix Collection" Anybody got an idea? Thanks!
Blade Runner is more like GITS then the Matrix. if you like GITS, watch Blade Runner. fairly unknown cult movie. All three movies are about the pros and cons of cyberization and the threat it brings to individuality.
And stop pointing fingers at countries. The world is running out of creative ideas for movies and stuff. eventually there's not going to be anything in the world that was copied from something else. just get used to it!
If Blade runner was too boring, then you were watching it wrong. It has a more contemplative and reflective tone and is _NOT_ an action movie. It's important to keep that in mind, but hey to each his own. I personally LIKE the fact that it's a lot more cerebral than your average sci-fi flick, but I understand that most people prefer adrenal to cerebral, and it's their loss, really.
But at the end of the day who the hell cares if the chicken or the egg came first as long as you have eggs for breakfast and chicken for dinner. Taking some sort of overt and aggressive pride in anything is stupid like the johnwilson guy's comment.
now ppl, take a breath and try to go back in ur mind to 1999 walking down the street going to ur fav cinema to watch the so-called new masterpiece of hollywood, The Matrix. Then u go out after the movie and u felt like "OMG F**KING EPIC WIN!!" all excited for another 2 weeks. Yeah, in it's time, we should admit it was pure awesomeness how well it was made, the care in details and the respectful tribute to the jap style they love... After that, well... keep the hope to feel it again someday
you cracker stealing again. once agian they need asian when they make movie. where wil you white be w/o asian? crappy movie and wiping your ass with your bare hand since asian invent paper too. lol
well without Asians we wouldn't of had the problems in the 1800's, never or had to deal with the war in the Pacific with the first attack on Pearl Harbor, then Korea, then Vietnam.
Heres another thing, without us anime wouldn't have been so inspired. All anime can be traced back to the original artists/writiers falling in love with Disney and Warner Brothers.
I hope you realize Ghost in the Shell owes a good deal of its existance to Blade Runner, which was directed by a white guy.
Why exactly do so many people care if one country's art influences another? I thought that was kind of the point with sharing your stuff with the world.
@BalmungSama0 Not nessarily Blade Runner, but Cyberpunk in general. From the works of Philip K. Dick (who authored the book Blade Runner is based on along with several other Gnostic/Cyberpunk stories) and William Gibson's Neuromancer. This kind of Sci Fi is a bit more underground and when it goes mainstream people try to call them rip offs or homages or tributes but really they're just dealing with Postmodernist Philosophical theories.
LOL my friend it's only Americans...it's funny how they only hate their own content from their country and have no idea how much media around the world was inspired from content from America!
Hell I'm almost too ashamed to admit that I'm American..>.>
@animeosi Whoa Whoa Whoa. Easy with the Anti American comments my friend. First off all 99% of Japanese anime is pure bullshit just like most Hollywood movies suck. For every great movie like GITS, Akira, Ninja Scroll, and Armistage you have a 100 shitty kids shows, Cowboy Bebop seasons, Full Metal Alchemist, teen soap drama cartoons and hentai films so don't sit there and shit on the US media. Japan is just as inconsistent.
@AptivaXL Also, just to let you know. Sci-Fi Anime before AMERICAN authors came up with cyber culture was nothing more than Vultron, Giant Robo, and Astroy Boy. After William Gibson and Stephen Levy brought Sci-Fi into the information age you started getting Anime films like Akira and GITS. Just wanted to let you know.
Huh? what are you talking about? I was stating how amazing it is that anime fans hate american shows/movies even though it's inspired some of the best anime shows/movies out there,and vice versa.
@animeosi Not sure what anime fans you're talking about I don't know of this. I love both ghost in the shell and the matrix. In fact Th Matrix is my all time favorite movie (excluding the other two failures) and I am also an anime fan.
@AptivaXL Theres only one season of Cowboy Bebop. And it is perhaps the best anime ever. So dont shit on something that not a single critic hates, ok?
I thought the Matrix sequels were trash compared to the first movie, until I realized they may not have ever escaped the Matrix, and Zion could be an outlet within the Matrix for those who realize they're being controlled. Makes it worth another watch.
Anyways, the Matrix is basically Ghost in the Shell in reverse; the humans are wondering whether their world is real, while the cyborg wonders if she is real.
これはパクリでは無いよ。
ちゃんとリスペクトして取り入れてくれてるんだから。
これをパクリと言ったら映画全部が最初に出来た映画のパクリだよ。アニメだって同様。
作品は次のクリエイターへの橋渡しなんだよ。真っさらな状態から新しいものを生み出す人間なんて100年に一人しかいないよ。

Interesting how matrix takes elements from gits and cowboy bebop and keen reeves is playing spike in liven action adaption of cowboy bebop anyone see the irony?

ok so now i know why gits inspired matrix...in fact matrix just copied some of the scenes directly out of the book when they could have done something more original.

ANIME OWNS. PERIOD. Nothing can come close to it. I hate - and I repeat...I HATE the fact that most viewers of movies such as Inception or The Matrix think that they are original and MIND-CRUSHING and something NEW.
Go watch Paprika, Ghost in the Shell, Akira, and Miyazaki's works!
shadowpal2 1 year ago 5
@shadowpal2 im not saying that inception and the matrix are original but the worlds they've created are original, the world of the dream and the matrix aren't entirely like Ghost in the Shell, but its obvious that some inspirations come from it

@shadowpal2
Most agree and would you say the same for James Cameron's Avatar? i mean that was influenced by Miyazaki's works and Cameron admits it, he is a huge anime fan who even praised GITS on the back of the DVD with his critique. Avatar was like Princess Mononoke and Nausicaa combined even with references to those two movies as much as The Matrix owes to Akira, Ninja Scroll and GITS. Even Michael Bay is a big anime fan as he cite GITS as one of The Island's influences.
Johnlindsey289 1 year ago
@shadowpal2 tsss... most of it if not all was first in books, there is borges, harlan ellison, gibson, Philip K. Dick and more.
Its all on the presentation, you are just bashing inception and matrix because you don't like them, not for valid reasons, if you want to defend originality, defend books, anime and overall any film depends too much on visual aestethics for that.

If you have watched the above video, you already watched that they literally COPY whole scenes from GITS. Have you really watched GITS? Because it does not seem so. Matrix talks about individuality in a very shallow way,and the action has been taken from animes like GITS,I acknowledge they have had some original ideas of their own but 98% of Matrix is copied.

it's not a copy, it's part of the same genre of sci fi...most people are used to their typical fantasy sci fi or sci fi adventures set in space...both of these are classified under Cyberpunk, like Tron or Bladerunner, or that book about The Matrix called Neuromancer... It's basically fiction based on futurist ideas, and philosophical questions about what it would be like to plug our brains up to the net, and how that would work along with the ramifications of having AI in such settings..

I really hope that the live action GitS will come late enough in the current Hollywood fad; there are always certain mediums that they choose to adapt, like literature, graphic novels and video games, but lately it seems like the early stuff is crap and they only start to take it seriously later on. I hope GitS (and Bebop, for that matter) are late enough into the fad and get decent budgets, and are taken seriously enough. DB:E was crap.

The thing is, a lot of people in animes are drawn like white people. Im not saying make everyone white, but its a Hollywood film, most of the cast will be white. I've watched Japanese films and I have to say that the acting isn't as great as American, English, or Russian actors. I want it to be in Japan, but I don't mind white actors as long as they are good.

I don't mind if Hollywood wants to make Japanese Anime into movies, but movies like Ghost in the Shell have a deep meaning and a set standard. If something is changed or altered from the anime shows, there will be a big let down. Each end episode of Ghost in the Shell usually held some type of special moral lesson or ironic scene. Lets pray things don't get changed too much!

Blade Runner was made 20 years to early. If there were more anime fans back then it would have been a huge hit.First thing anime was not big in the 70s and 80s. We had Starblazers Tosho Daimos just a hand full of anime.And only kids watched the stuff,Oh and we called it Japanimation back in the day. Me im glad to see Hollywood embrace anime and im looking forward to more live action. But now im an adult I dont like the pg13 crap.District 9's mech fight was the shit. bloody hardcore,true to life.

the application of anime techniques to live action footage is a brilliant idea in The Matrix because it makes the "real" world look unreal, like a computer program (which is the point of the movie)

Blade Runner is more like GITS then the Matrix. if you like GITS, watch Blade Runner. fairly unknown cult movie. All three movies are about the pros and cons of cyberization and the threat it brings to individuality.
And stop pointing fingers at countries. The world is running out of creative ideas for movies and stuff. eventually there's not going to be anything in the world that was copied from something else. just get used to it!

If Blade runner was too boring, then you were watching it wrong. It has a more contemplative and reflective tone and is _NOT_ an action movie. It's important to keep that in mind, but hey to each his own. I personally LIKE the fact that it's a lot more cerebral than your average sci-fi flick, but I understand that most people prefer adrenal to cerebral, and it's their loss, really.

@BalmungSama0 Not nessarily Blade Runner, but Cyberpunk in general. From the works of Philip K. Dick (who authored the book Blade Runner is based on along with several other Gnostic/Cyberpunk stories) and William Gibson's Neuromancer. This kind of Sci Fi is a bit more underground and when it goes mainstream people try to call them rip offs or homages or tributes but really they're just dealing with Postmodernist Philosophical theories.

I thought the Matrix sequels were trash compared to the first movie, until I realized they may not have ever escaped the Matrix, and Zion could be an outlet within the Matrix for those who realize they're being controlled. Makes it worth another watch.
Anyways, the Matrix is basically Ghost in the Shell in reverse; the humans are wondering whether their world is real, while the cyborg wonders if she is real.
