how does /tv/ feel about Innocence?

>>212065948
I watched it about 20 years ago and hated it. Should probably give it a second shot.

Patlabor 2's still Oshii's best film though and I won't hear a word against it.

>>212065948
It was different.

ghost in the shell fucking sucks

>>212062312 (OP)
When this came out on VHS, I was banned from seeing it as a kid because of the front cover.
>Too provocative, my parents said
>It will give you bad thoughts, they said

>>212068617

>>212068780
Thankfully my parents didn't give a shit what I watched.

>>212069010
Yeah, it sucked having super strict parents.
They even did the same with that Final Fantasy Spirits Within movie.

>>212069120
Aye. I had great parents, they just didn't care what films I watched in my spare time.

It's a pretty simple story, but the Japs do love to convolute things with their dialogue.

It's always lame when people talk about art "rewriting their brain chemistry" and stuff like that but this is one of those scenes that when I saw it for the first time it actually did something to me. The invisible bullet hits, jerking his body like a puppet on a string before showing the audience with perfect clarity the parts constituting his head in an exploded view. The belated response from the soldiers, literally chasing a ghost that disappears right in front of them. The entire scene is such a perfect example of what an assassination should be; directing and administrering violence to such a precise degree that your target explodes like something in a carnival balloon pop game. It's a gruesome end but it also serves a dramatic purpose in the sense that since it's a movie about espionage, you've been completely compromised once your head has been literally and figuratively turned inside out

There's a certain amount of sadism involved which the japanese are especially good at employing for creative ends.

>>212065948
It has the best aeathetics but also worst designs. The doll shit did not work at all, even as intended sex bots, while the orange color scheme and premise of togusa-batou detective investigation was great.

Kim, the hackers, doll house mansion would have been great as a mind hack demonstration. Except if it cut back showing the real life kim hideout was a dingy dungeon in the middle of the industrial city they arrived in, not an actual mansion in the middle of the woods

The movie came so close to being as great as the original, but it's too fllawed in core details

>>212065948
I'd like it a lot more if not for the dated CG

>>212070589
meh.

seconding Solaris.

Ghost in the Shell is slow and meandering. so is Solaris but i'd rather NOT be watching a cartoon, at this point. why is it a cartoon? forget Japanese animation, specifically, as any form of weird 'exception'. it's still animation, isn't it?

>>212068617
You can watch it today, fuck your parents and childhood anon.

Mine was shit, but I enjoy everything I can as an adult.

>>212069255
This movie started my robot fetish and love of muscle girls. I have no regrets.

Daily reminder that a few years ago they finally published a re-translation of Solaris. Even if you read it before its really worth checking out the new translation (I think its based on the french translation).
I like and hate both film adaptations of the book. On the one hand both are fantastic well made movies that I'll happily re-watch, but on the other hand they miss the whole point of the novel that resonated with me, how its not about some weird sentient ocean, its about the absolute alienation and isolation of the individual from the universe. Its pure unitary mind that has gone mad screaming into an infinite void for something it can't even comprehend others
And jesus there are whole sections of the book that is the main character reading previous reports of the exploration of solaris, and you've got page after page after page of these clinical descriptions of these absolutely inexplicable alien phenomenon of the ocean randomly creating various forms and structures and it just makes your brain go sideways.
I'd also suggest the futurological congress also by Stanislaw Lem. One of the few times a book has genuinely fucked with my head.
I wish I spoke polak just so I could read Lem in his original language.

>mfw the keyboard run at the end of the second season intro

>>212062312 (OP)
That movie (and the 2 patlabor movies) are terrible in terms of writing. All the expository scenes are mind numbingly dull and barely make any sense.

But they're so well directed and animated, and the art and music are fantastic...

Still, that first GITS movie is the only thing in that entire franchise that's worth watching. The TV shows were hysterically bad.

>>212074662
>The TV shows were hysterically bad.
Nah both SAC series are good.

>>212074662
>All the expository scenes are mind numbingly dull and barely make any sense.
I honestly wonder how much of this is just a problem of translating and localizing.
I remember when Ghost in the Shell: Innocence came out, and I download one of the first subbed copies I could find, and whoever the guy was, he would try to translate very literally, but then have footnotes on the subtitles explaining the metaphor. Usually it was way longer that the subtitle itself, so it was color coding the footnotes, and by the time another thing came up that needed translator notes, the last set wasn't off the screen yet, so you'd have another colored subtitle, and during exposition scenes you were reading multiple different unrelated chunks of different sentences at the same time.

>>212075743
>Character 1 quotes a line from a book
>Character 2 continues the quote and specifies the book or author it's from
Hate this dumb trope. They give it to all the assassins and spec ops characters.

interesting how this movie made her appear robotic and less human but the shows turned her into sex on legs

>>212079799
>but the shows turned her into sex on legs
That's how she originally is in the manga

do yall niggas really jack off to cartoons?

I'm sort of indifferent towards the SAC 2045 model. Its not bad, its just that she is supposed to be a fully grown athletic body woman with big tits. In SAC 2045 she looks like a midget, underdeveloped early 20s pixar character that slimmed down for the beach. She is canon supposed to be in her 60s as well during the in universe time of the show. Even if she can pick models to house her ghost, would a 60s woman pick something like this over her SAC and 2nd gig body?

>>212062809
it's crazy how the movie is a warning about transhumanism yet its most prominent social effect is convincing perverts to swap genders

>>212082203
Transhumanism will happen either way. It's like saying "this book by Thoreau warned about steam engines being BAD, so of course everyone heeded his warning and now there are no steam engines."

>>212082545
a warning isn't necessarily a call for prevention

>>212082851
It's like an "I told you so" before having to say I told you so. That's really a benefit for the person who uttered the words first, and for no one else.

>>212063112
This show is strangely good

>>212065948
Genuinely bad

>>212065948
I was lucky enough to be able to see it at a movie theater in Chicago. But yeah, it was a letdown.

>>212083075
nah, it's contributing to a conversation about a potential future. this is what sci-fi is. you think there's no potential benefit to that? besides, this isn't what i was initially highlighting. seems like you're missing the forest for a single tree, like the people i was pointing out, but in a different sense.

>>212083532
ah. but what sense would that be, oh talented mugabe? have you mastered the art of gab already? master of all arts verbally articulated, though you are. have you heard the word onomatopoeia?
