Re: Upcoming Ghost in the Shell Live-Action movie
I believe that a sucessful IP can be translated into a live-action version without sacreficing the core elements that IS GitS. GitS is not just a a cyberpunk themed scifi, it's the eastern view on soul, being human and the transcendance, line-blurring evolution between man and machine explored by the protagonists that prevents this new kind of cybercrime, and that's Section 9, consisting of the Major, Batou, Togusa, Aramaki, Ishikawa, Saito, Paz and Borma. They are asking the questions to the viewer and the viewer should decide for themselfs or think about it. That's the strength of GitS.
