![]() Ghost in the Shell is a film about transcendence. She’s infinitely bad ass because she does all those daring stunts and tricks for a reason. I mean that is why we, as a fan base, love her. Batou tries to warn her against trying to push the normal bounds of reality beyond where she is now, but Motoko is a risk taker in so many ways. That mysterious voice in her head pushes her further and further in trying different things. Motoko constantly pushing herself further by diving into deep water on her off days where she can easily drown. She is a full-bodied cyborg that wants more than what is there. While the front of this film are the police cases and mysteries with Section 9 while Section 6 played heavier and heavier into the plot, the themes of the story line with our characters. Of course, the case doesn’t go where one expects it to go. ![]() That’s such an efficient way of developing the world while also giving our characters more ways to interact through problem solving. This leads to a lot of brushes with Public Security Section 6 and their antics along with different sections of society from foreign ministers being threatened through their hack interpreters to garbage men causing all sorts of chaos on the streets. At first, random terrorism is caused across the city by people who had their cyber brains hacked called “Ghost Hacking”. We start out knowing absolutely nothing about this mysterious force at all. This film is focused on the unusual hackings from the mysterious and ominous Puppet Master. All those people are led by the super intelligent Chief Aramaki. A group that has one normal human named Togusa, a bunch of cyborgs with partial prosthetics to aid them in their tasks, and fully prosthetic cyborgs by the name of Batou and the infamous Major Motoko Musanagi. The group’s name is Public Security Section 9 and they are a special group of police officers. In this new age of cyber-crime, there are those who seek to protect the public from cyber-crime. That is only surface level to where this film goes in terms of those complexities. You have the shell and the ghost so to speak. An age where making full body cyborgs and having a brain directly attached to the internet are realities. ![]()
