Mateo Rojas i know right😆

Mateo Rojas me too he cool asf

@Mateo Rojas : Yeah, he sounds broken , just the way he is.

Kinda sounds like Stephen Hawkins

Amazing!

He actually said, "They tried to kill me first! It is self defense ... d-d-d-defense itself!"

@@zachjohns6776 I know this is an old comment, but he actually says "defense of self" not "defense itself".

@@zachjohns6776 He actually said "of self"

Right? The portrayal of that body language is astounding, fantastic performance.

Love the glitchy voice and movement while being proud of his uncanny appearance that doesn’t faze him

Brilliantly put

There's people who lack the ability to move like we do. They have to do it all manually without the automatic stuff we rely on. The way he walks reminds me of that.

This movie sucked.

The production/art book mentions that Michael Pitt wrote "pages and pages of backstory" for Kuze to get into the character. That's something I'd enjoy reading if it ever became available - a pipe dream to be sure, but it would be fascinating to see what went into him.

I haven't heard much detail about the director's cut, aside from the cut Tricky appearance. Do you know more? Also, yeah, for a film with as many mistakes as this one has (as much as I appreciate it as a novelty) I would dare to say Cutter is probably the worst part. He's so cliche he isn't even a character. He's Dick Jones played completely straight instead of being satirical.

Some of that I've heard before, such as the villains being Section 6; I wonder if this original cut is where the "Hadley Cruz" alias for "Hideo Kuze" that was on Wikipedia for a time pre-release came from. Thank you for the link, I'll need to take some time to read it. EDIT: Finished reading it, I can definitely see the places where things were changed, if nothing else. It does seem a shame that we'll never see that director's cut.

You're really reaching to make this movie sound good. This is nothing more than the cliche moment where the bad guy says to the good guy "We're the same" and the good guy goes "We are NOTHING alike!". That's the same bullshit that has been done in countless of Hollywood movies. This movie is racist whitewashed trash that has almost nothing to do with the source material it is supposedly based on. It is a good thing that it bombed because racist should not be rewarded.

The story of those who can’t jumpstart anything, they chose violence 😑

And how also he took those bullets as if they were nothing.

thanks

One of the best performances I've seen in film.

Well acted, well scored, badly animated and shot

well put !!! Best soundtrack ever !

yeah its him 🙂

@let us prey wtf

@let us prey you call me trumptard and you fight like kids in playground. Go check yourself.

@let us prey lol you think you own comment section? 😂Lmao the stupity.

Who? Anyway imagine replying to your own comment 2 years later ...

@@Kumire_921 hush

You called her 'ScarJo' for short? That feels the same as calling Jennifer López 'JLo' for short, and she doesn't like that. So I think calling Scarlett 'ScarJo' is downright mean and insensitive.

@@zachjohns6776 I think you need to stop speaking on behalf of other people.

@@gordieallen6422 Fine. I won't, ever again.

I thought the actor who played Batou did fine as it's based mostly on the 1st anime film.

He didn't really die, just moved on to a higher level of consciousness

He is floating around in the cloud like Ultron. He could return.

His ghost just left his shell.

He didn’t die in the last scene of them together he said he will always be there for her ghost meaning hes in the network

he uploded him self befor his shell was destroyed

I alway saw this as the shell of Kuze and the ghost of the puppet master

fun fact all the walchalsky brothers just showed the og ghost in the shell move to the wb executives to get the matrix green lit.

@let us prey opinions exist for a reason and this comment was a year ago I got hyped from watching this movie so now after rewatching the movie I will give it a 6 and I still do listen to Skrillex but I respect it that you don't like Skrillex anymore and everyone has their own "taste" to music or movies

tellus a bit more about the backstage!

They could have done sequels if they picked 1 storyline for this and stuck with it.

That's their evaluation because of his rebellious nature, remember they wanted to shut Motoko down just because she knew the truth they considered here a failure already.

@@krimo5700 damn, never occurred to me.thanks

There is nothing to like about a whitewashed piece of trash that barely has anything to do with the source material it is supposedly based on.

I for one believe that there was no whitewashing here. Motoko Kusanagi in the anime is a voluptuous woman with clearly define Mediterranean or European features. The explanation they gave us in my opinion was feasible given the setup and situation. By looking at most of anime designs one can argue that whitewashing emanates from the source material. What it truly bother me was the fact that they stay away from the philosophy that gave birth to such a complex set of events. They did us all a disservice and possibly ruin the universe for others. They need to take the movie and edited again. This goes without mentioning the horrible acting the two antagonists portray.

What you believe is irrelevant. It is a fact that Kusanagi is Japanese. There is nothing European about her. Why is she white with a name like "Kusanagi Motoko"? You didn't seem to notice that in this whitewashed garbage her name was changed to "Mira Killian". Gee... I wonder why. Japan is homogeneous so it makes no sense for her to be anything other than Japanese. If you actually knew about Ghost in the Shell you would know that anytime someone is in the story that is not Japanese then they are singled out for it. Every white character that has ever appeared in Ghost in the Shell has always been a foreigner and has had other characters point out that they are white. Kusanagi in fact has singled out white people herself in the 1995 animated adaptation which proves she is Japanese and not white. Finally, white characters are drawn differently from the Asian characters in manga and anime. Again, you would know this if you actually knew about anime which you do not. Ghost in the Shell 2017 is a whitewashed racist load of trash that insults the original Ghost in the Shell source material. It barely has anything to do with the source material in fact. It's a bad Robocop remake with a woman instead of a man and badly remade scenes from the 1995 adaptation that are not even in the same context that the 1995 adaptation was working in. A total waste of celluloid.

No one is arguing she was not Japanese all I am saying is that she was rebuilt to have a totally different shell.

She was only "rebuilt to have a totally different shell" because the movie was whitewashed. lol!

Dab the haters

He shouldn't be white.

DaRunningMan bruh did you even watch the Anime were he was based on clearly you’ve been brainwashed again by those weirdos who try to turn everything Black and say that it’s racist if they don’t.

@@dmchunter7772 leave us blacks the fuck out of this story, it's about Asian.

DaRunningMan in the anime he has an entirely artificial shell, a PKF Enhanced Body. Are you implying that “White” or “Asian” are denominations applicable to fabricated/manufactured caricatures?

@@bubblegumpeach5662 lol XD

Actually this set the stage for them to move forward with sequels

Motoko!!

Having recently watched Arise, I can see that a lot was taken from that version, including the "collective consciousness" network, and her decision not to join it. In fact there isn't a single part of Ghost in the Shell, the manga, both anime films, and every TV series, and even Mamoru Oshii's "Avalon" which did not end up in this film in one form or another. Maybe they tried to cram too much in.

While I am not trying to defend this racist and horrible trash of a movie, you prove with your comment that you know nothing about Ghost in the Shell. Kusanagi DOES show emotion. All you know is the 1995 adaptation (it is NOT the original but an adaptation) and in that Kusanagi is not actual as she normally does and that is noted but the other characters. You don't know Ghost in the Shell.

plaguelock you repeated that same bullshit on my comments post. You ran out of original material, just like this movie did?

plaguelock stop defending bad movies and bad acting performances. Scarletts bland robot performance was enough proof that she was wrong for the role to begin with. Plus people who keep making excuses about "it's not an exact translation" or "she is a robot and not a human" are looking for easy excuses not to cast colored people. You guys have a problem with colored people being cast in leading roles. Things are changing and if you don't believe me, look at the box office numbers for Black panther and crazy rich asians.

Bohoooo a whiny weeb.

Indeed she did. It doesn't help to that she has no business playing this role since Kusanagi is NOT white and neither is Batou or Kuze. This movie was whitewashed racist trash.

plaguelock dude the reason you are not gonna win this conversation is 1. Her name is Motoko, it's a Japanese name. Is that so hard to comprehend? 2. The movie was bad. It's less a ghost in the shell film and more a remake of the Matrix. The only difference is that the Matrix was groundbreaking and ghost in the shell was 18 years too late to say anything. Scarlett didn't even give a good acting performance, you are defending mediocrity. My recommendation is to watch the original Robocop (because this film blatantly ripped it off) Blade runner, total recall and the original Ghost in the shell, just so you can be quiet and understand what good sci fi looks like.

+plaguelock "The only reason the original characters were Japanese was because of where the author was from when the original story was written" That's as stupid as saying that the only reason that Batman is a white American is because the people that created Batman were white Americans. You don't know what you are talking about. You know nothing about Ghost in the Shell. And you are not even clever with you thinking that you can turn the tables and calling other people racist for pointing out racism.

plaguelock even Schwarzenegger can play a robot.

Not only that but Scarlett is too curvy and short for Motoko.

How?
