Perri enjoyed it a lot

What issues did you have? How do you think critics will react?

they gave it a positive review

Kinda surprised Pete liked it

Yeah, the ones in the anime looked deceptively human, which kinda highteins the sexual fantasizations. I'm not sure if it was feasible to imitate that with how practical their approach was. Maybe they could gone more CGI?

? yeah, no way Robbie. Fantastic Four was horrendous. This is Power Rangers too

I'm hoping this movie can aid in improving representation of Asians in film with its diverse cast

He directed the classic film and made it his own, he definitely has authority to speak. I agree he would have insufficient knowledge to speak on the life of Asian-Americans, but I can see his frustration with people invoking his work as just a political gavel, like the role belongs to them.

I think Oshii means to highlight the problem of overindulging so much in the act of politicization that we lose sight of artistic expression; he's not saying that art cannot have political themes, he's shown that time again in his own work, which he would probably understand more than a Japanese-American or any American who is more than unlikely to expound as much on Ghost in the Shell as he can. It baffles him as well because of his vision for the property as an auteur and creator. I can see why he feels people are missing the point. It's strictly his own rebuke of the protest over the reimagining of his work. There's no expectation of him acquiescing, despite him knowing why.

There's some element of truth to what you say about Japanese culture. It's an extremely nuanced issue, especially in regards to their real history and not something they consider Otaku or childish. Some of what you say, however, is a wee too presumptious, including specific details in the film. Oshii has no qualms being blunt. He's directed animations with heavy political themes in the Patlabor series, and he has credibility and authority on this particular issue.

Oshii told IGN by e-mail. "The Major is a cyborg and her physical form is an entirely assumed one. The name 'Motoko Kusanagi' and her current body are not her original name and body, so there is no basis for saying that an Asian actress must portray her. Even if her original body (presuming such a thing existed) were a Japanese one, that would still apply." "In the movies, John Wayne can play Genghis Khan, and Omar Sharif, an Arab, can play Doctor Zhivago, a Slav. It's all just cinematic conventions," he explained. "If that's not allowed, then Darth Vader probably shouldn’t speak English, either. I believe having Scarlett play Motoko was the best possible casting for this movie. I can only sense a political motive from the people opposing it, and I believe artistic expression must be free from politics."

That wasn't actually an indication of what to expect from his review. Seemed more like banter and tongue-in-cheek talk. His review could still be negative regardless

That wouldn't explain why we continue to see video game adaptations being pursued by film studios. The source material's popularity and film potential captures the eyes of executives and producers looking for a promising project.

Michael Pitt looks incredible as Kuze. He'll nail that character. He also looks like Mads here lol. The amount of detail that went into the production is exceptional.

They aren't exact copies for one because the way the scenes proceed differ slightly and the music is an obvious change. If it works in context of this new story, it works. This scene doesn't show why you shouldn't take images from the source because we don't have the necessary context.

The failures incredibly outnumber the successes unfortunately . Black Butler, Casshern, Fist of the North Star, Gatchaman. Oh god, Terra Formars. So many to name

He's just saying that they aren't entitled to anything.

Scenes are identical. Music there in the live action comes across more intense. She looks believable throwing a punch. There's weight behind it as far as I can tell

That sentence echoes a bit of what the Puppet Master conveys to Major at the end of the film

This. There are certainly tools that operate as conduits for the transmission of data and information, but GitS goes beyond that in discussing the digital space conscienceness can occupy

And at best that just tenuously applies to GitS because the net is defined to be vast and infinite and permeating all aspects of life, which is hard to pin down to a physical structure

That's mere hypothesizing on the visualization of the internet "infrastructure."

You're assigning physical descriptions to things that are not actually physical

What physical structure does the internet have? You cited coax cables...just how?
