the weapons+tank deisgner and action sequence are from a time where production artists knew their stuff. no fancy neon lights or fancy unnecessary explosions. Pure military efficiency+ realistic futurism+ ballet combat sequence. Some kind of combat poetry.
@TheAlanwake2010 she's a cyborg special agent on the trail of a super hacker, follows a lead and ends up running into an ambush (the tank). The reason her arms rip off is she's using so much force (ignoring pain receptors, pushing herself to the limit) she practically breaks herself (similar concept to a hernia or muscle strain).
Shes so hot and radical if i was an animation on the show i would save her and die for her and the world that would be tight yo but its just a cartoon show
A few things to point out for those that are clueless. 1) Motoko's body was/is full cybernetic. That's part of the reason why she shrinks after she breaks herself. 2) Awesome gun. Makes another apperance in the first series; second episode "testation". 3) Taxi driver was a really good movie, but it's not science fiction. To compare the two is a complete FAIL. 4) One of the best animes of all time, period.
You know man, sometimes when you're fighting a tank that has at least 5 times your strength you just gotta go quick about it, don't have time to jiggle, you know what I'm sayin'?
Hence why i would like to have a prosthetic body...only keep your brain as the primary organ and everything else synthetic...come on technology push the boundry
ghost in the shell always had a great sense of danger, there's was lots of tension in the action which would probably bore a lot of people who want EXPLOSIONS
@dudeinthesea Oshii is one of those directors, that no matter what medium he is a part of, his action sequences will always stand the test of time. They're just... extraordinary.
@kanesoban Well... you got to understand Motoko's character first to know why. As I see it, she was really desperate to learn about the Poppetmaster and this was her last shot before either section 6 kills her and the Poppetmaster or section 9 takes custody and use it to bargain with. Think about it, through the whole movie Motoko is always doubting her own ghost, her own humanity while there is this program running around claiming that he is as human as everybody else... see the duality of it?.
@kanesoban It's a methaphore of the revelation of her soul with an anatomical description of her body. Erotism always have been THE way to understand Motoko. Because she incarnates the perfect mystery of feminity.
@kanesoban Have you ever tried lifting something by using so much force that you pull a muscle? Same concept, except she doesn't have (or can ignore at will) some of the pain signals that tells our brains to stop straining or we'll break.
5:54 motherfucking awesome gun, i remember seeing this when i was younger, i looked everywhere for some info on this gun, i can't remember what's it called D:
This scene is so damn BEAUTIFUL!!! Perfect example of how anime makes art out of violence. Love this film.
When she gets torn to pieces, I feel sad and at the same time exhilarated. It's hard to explain why. And I know that a great many men find this scene erotic. Hell, I understand them.
Yes I know the feeling and I think I know why it gets to us. You see - its like an epic fight between David and Goliath. She fight with such a skill against this powerfull enemy, she even manages to inflict damage on him and when she's on the brink of victory she fails, the effort tear her to pieces...Its like in life :) you try as hard as you can against the overwhelming odds and sometimes despite the efforts you lose...
This Tank Fight ist my favourite scene in the whole anime, it's just so unexpected! There's also that climatic feeling which makes the tank look like a big boss at the end of the stage - and the calm, but incredibly fitting music makes everything even better.
if you liked the matrix there is really no real reason for your to dislike this movie. At the time it came out it was groundbreaking and revolotionary for anime. I dont know if you were raised in the 90's or not but it kicked ass then and i still think its a great movie. But i do agree with you on the sequals, they were no where near as good as the first
@RPGflms one of the sequels even demoted Motoko to a cameo. She's at least 50% of the reason to watch Ghost in the Shell in the first place. Dumbass idea.
i think your right. can you call a few good series.
i like gun and sword fight. like samurai champloo and cowboy bebop. If you dont know this shows, you have to search (for samurai champlo) mogen vs jin on youtube. for cowboy bebop. watch the fight between spike and pierro le fot...
@RPGflms There is no comparison. Sorry for answering this a year later, but there is nothing similar from this fight to the matrix fight. The only thing is that there is a person running around in a gunfight using pillars as cover. That's it.
cool, waht i thought was that she was switching it out beacuse she wore it down with the hv ammo, but i ddint want to tell you anyhitn that i didnt kno for sure.
