Ghost In The Shell 2 - Innocence / The Parade

[Kalipp0]

first thing i saw in 1080p on my full hd flatscreen back when it was new, my mind was blown that moment.

[Shinigami88X1]

I had a dream that the Puerto Rican parade in new York was like this

[Shinigami88X1]

the bulding in the intro looks like a church mixed with Chinese art

[pingdominican]

I'd also love to see this in true 3-D just because.

[pingdominican]

I know this comparison has been made before, but what I love about this movie is how the visuals, the music, and small melancholic touches (the way Togusa looks at the children in this scen) evoke the same mood as Bladerunner. I never get tired of watching either of these films.

[lafabricadelcielo]

This movie is really in another level

[oracle100]

Some of the most gorgeous cinematic animation EVER

[9741mk]

its basically dramatic scenery porn!

[MrBranagain]

They burn all the robotic puppets after the parade...

[fordmike]

Its amazing what the hands and brains of the human being can create!

That being said...Gods truly an artist.

久しぶりに観たくなった。

[BeyondBirthday18]

I love this scence and the song. It a lot of melancholy and everytime when I see this I have to cry

Ghost In The Shell is a Japanese anime.

★But whole style is Hongkong Chinese.

It's very strange.

[lunadusangue9]

@SamuraiTogo Actually, I don't find it strange at all. Many Japanese anime incorporates element, if not culture of other countries. It is a very common feature that appears in most animes and mangas. If I may, I believe some parts of Taiwan's old fashion styles in temple celebration are also mixed into the scenes. Overall, I can see Hong Kong here the most, but the director doesn't just stick with one culture, he incorporates so many that it becomes this ethereal, dreamlike state.

[kurakczek]

let's not forget that this is a movie from Japan. the music made by mr Kawai isn't creepy at all, because this is a ballad sung by a choir of women. and a damn beautiful ballad. consider the lyrics and how it is very similar to the opening ballad from GITS1.

outstanding piece of cinematographic art.

cheers.

[YvesIsaki]

at least the subtitles aren't in spanish. they'd be awful and very annoying. i can understand some french so c'est choutte.

[madmoovz]

i think it's not creepy but it has the mood like Blade Runner had.The whole world is sorta fucked up.The borders between nations,traditions,ethnicitis are gone.humans are playing gods.the parade is the meaning of happines but director used this creepy music to underline this mood.

[Hackmoune]

I highly prefer GITS francise than Blade Runner.

This scene alone blows up all that overrated "classic"

[zensarcasm]

@madmoovz Very cool observation. Also Chinese mythology and even to a certain extent, Taoism, spread to Japan.

[Icepatrole]

that parade is awesome i didn't find it creepy

[sukoshineko]

I really liked the parade and I also like the doll house...many find that creepy too but I think it's awesome!!!

[robelicit]

h3y, such a w0rk of art;-)....if ya ever talk to anyone who thinks anime is just for little kids---ala Pokemon/DragonBallZ, etc---well, this will wake them up^_--)......p3ace0ut....=][=

[ceitiosaurus]

noo srry i mean the parade is ok but the elephant is the creepy part, i mean their beautiful creatures, so why make this one look like a monster

[ceitiosaurus]

the parade is kinda creepy

[Predator1pl]

Zajebiste.Wszystko.Muzyka,anim­acja.Kapota.

[MaiL0MaN5]

beautifully animated but I prefer the Paprika parade

[Achilles6454]

yeah i saw that too. IMO the paprika parade looks like something my 5 year old niece would like. This parade looks and sounds more adult oriented.

[microball]

The elements of these culture are collected from Taiwan

[illidanwashere772]

@microball NO. I got these elements in my backyard.

[rbred378]
