Ghost In The Shell: 10 Hidden Details You Completely Missed

Set in a future where the line between robots and humans has blurred, Ghost in the Shell follows Major Mira Killian (Scarlett Johansson) and the black-ops team of Section 9 when they are tasked to investigate a string of murders linked to a mysterious figure only known as Kuze. For all the negative reviews that it got, the live-action Ghost in the Shell is actually Hollywood’s most accurate and faithful adaptations of a well-known anime and/or manga.

Not only did the remake take clear inspiration from its source material but there was a clear passion for the story being told – something that can’t be said for Dragonball: Evolution. But even the most observant fan of the series may have missed, so here are 10 such details from Ghost in the Shell that you may not have noticed.

10 The Movie Borrows From Different Ghost In The Shell Stories

There’s a lot of Ghost in the Shell material to cover, making it impossible to use everything for a single feature-length movie. To circumvent this, the filmmakers instead picked the best aspects of each incarnation for the live-action adaptation.

The main story that revolves around the Major’s struggle with an identity crisis are heavily based on the episode AFFECTION from Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG and Ghost in the Shell: Innocence. Meanwhile, visual cues are taken from the other material, particularly from the original 1995 movie.

9 Some Scenes Are Shot-for-hot Remakes

As mentioned above, Ghost in the Shell used the original movie as the basis for some of its more visually stunning sequences. Some examples include the Major’s introductory mission, her meditative dive, and her fights with the garbage man and the Spider Tank during the finale.

The most prominent example is the remake’s prologue, where the Major’s cyborg body is first constructed. This is a faithful digital recreation of the original opening which was beautifully animated through traditional means, although the song Making of Cyborg was played over the ending credits instead of the beginning.

8 Hanka Robotics

The remake’s main antagonist represents Hanka Robotics, the world’s leading manufacturer of augmentive technology such as Cyberbrains. While the Hanka corporation does appear in the original manga, the movie gives them more relevance than they previously had.

Named Hanka Precision Instruments, the company attempted to implant children’s Ghosts into robots to achieve more life-like functions. Due to Hanka’s incompetence, the robots went berserk, leading to many deaths and their president’s arrest. They’re still in business, though no longer as profitable as they used to be. Also, the company Locus-Solus stole their unethical experiment and refined it.

7 The Major’s Red Suit

When the Major and Batou follow a lead to a nightclub, Major is shown wearing and kicking ass in a red leather outfit. This isn’t just her clubbing get-up but an obvious homage to her appearance in Ghost in the Shell: Arise. Major also got her blue highlights here, previously sporting black or purple hair.

Of the Ghost in the Shell spin-offs, Arise is the most divisive due to the changes it makes to the canon and characterizations. It also stars the youngest incarnation of the Major, with her looking more like a teenager than a soldier.

6 Dr. Dahlin is Dr. Haraway

Section 9’s go-to robotics consultant is Dr. Dahlin, a chain-smoker with a very distinct augment for her eyes. While she has a supporting role in the Major’s line of work, she was based on a minor player in the second Ghost in the Shell movie.

Dr. Dahlin was lifted from Dr. Haraway in Innocence, where she helped out with Batou and Togusa’s initial investigation regarding a murderous gynoid. After her brief scene, Dr. Haraway is never seen again whereas Dr. Dahlin appears every now and then in the remake before she’s killed by Kuze.

5 The Killer Robot Geisha

During her introductory mission, the Major makes quick work of some assassins and their killer Geisha androids. The murderous Geishas are practically a staple of Ghost in the Shell, appearing in an episode of Stand Alone Complex while playing a prominent role in Innocence.

In the series, the Geishas were just hacked robots that turned on their guests. In the movie, the Geisha gynoids (i.e. sex robots) are the end result of Locus-Solus’ aforementioned illegal ghost dubbing experiments. Batou puts a stop to their creation and killing spree in Innocence with the help of the Major.

4 Gabriel The Dog

In the Ghost in the Shell remake, Batou is shown to have a soft spot for stray dogs, particularly for a basset hound he named Gabriel. Later on and just as he did in the anime, he’s shown taking care of Gabriel.

Batou is almost never seen without Gabriel when he’s at home or taking some R&R, making his appearance in the movie a nice callback for fans of the anime. This is also a reversal of Batou’s characterization from Stand Alone Complex, where he complained about animals not liking him. That, and author Mamouru Oshii really likes basset hounds.

3 Kuze Is A Combination Of Major Villains

Much to fans’ surprise, Ghost in the Shell uses Kuze as the initial antagonist. He isn’t terrible but of those the Major faced before, Kuze is arguably the least popular. He hails from Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG, where he was a terrorist who wanted to ascend a higher plane of digital existence.

RELATED: 10 Things In Sci-Fi Movies You Didn't Know Were CGI

However, he still incorporates elements of The Puppet Master and The Laughing Man. Kuze’s appearance, actions, and death are heavily based on The Puppet Master’s from the original movie, while he possesses The Laughing Man’s methods and general disdain for society.

2 Section 9 Is Accurate To The Manga

The black-ops team Section 9 is a mainstay in Ghost in the Shell, so it’s unsurprising that they appeared in the remake. It’s just a pity that they were barely noticeable after getting lost in the shuffle.

RELATED: Top Gun: Every Pilot, Ranked From Worst To Best

The filmmakers put a lot of effort was put into making Section 9’s appearances as faithful as possible. Despite some changes such as their race or the addition of the new female member Ladriya, Section 9 is mostly faithful to their illustrated counterparts. Their roles are also correct, such as Ishikawa being the hacker and Saito taking sniper duty.

1 The Real Major Mokoto Kusanagi

Ghost in the Shell’s most controversial aspect was casting of Scarlett Johansson as The Major, an icon of Japanese pop culture. Johansson’s Major is named Mira Killian, but this is a false memory implanted in the mind of a teenager named Motoko Kusanagi.

Those unfamiliar with the source materials may miss the significance of this reveal, since Major’s name in all previous incarnations is indeed Motoko Kusanagi. The remake had an interesting idea of how to revitalize her identity but didn’t fully develop it, robbing it of the chance to be truly thought-provoking and looking tone-deaf as a result.

Very unofficial rewrite of the Ghost in the Shell live-action film because I’m so damn *PISSED* rn

Disclaimer: I don’t own Ghost in the Shell because if I did, I wouldn’t be so angry right now oh god why did I go see it thank god I didn’t have to pay the full prize

The film starts off with Creation of the cyborg scene with the original Kenji Kawai music (link to the version from GitS 2: Innocence)

Music written by Kenji Kawai/music from GitS (1995) and GitS 2: Innocence reused

Everyone speaks Japanese

The film actually takes place in Niihama city, Japan

There are tachikomas

They still have Ladriya tho, and she actually gets more screen time because she could have been a damn cool character if she had any screen time

Motoko is played by either Ming Na-wen or Rinko Kikuchi or any other Japanese or at least Asian actress

Her name is not changed, she is still called Motoko

She was the one who founded Section 9 and recruited all the members

She’s still the war veteran from the world wars

There are still refugees in Japan thanks to the world wars

After the opening scene, we cut to the scene where Motoko is on the roof of the skyscraper while the dude from Hanka is chatting with the other dudes and the geishas go wild

There is no data downloading from the Hanka dude

She still disobeys Aramaki’s direct orders and goes in when the geishas go wild and obliterates the attackers before anyone else gets there and Batou gets a headache because Motoko wasn’t supposed to do that

Batou has cyborg eyes all the movie ok

Also, Togusa has his terrible mullet that look in the movie wasn’t good (the actor was tho)

When being investigated, a suspicious link between the refugee district and the geishas gone wild pops up

Aramaki thinks it’s rubbish because there are very few people capable of hacking androids in the refugee district and literally no one there has a motive since Hanka mechanics has been giving refugees jobs and easier possibilities to integrate to the Japanese society since the government does nothing about it

Niihama refugee district is being investigated by the public security and devices meant for hacking androids show up

Everyone is suspicious about it

Aramaki goes to the prime minister and gets permission for Section 9 to take over the investigation because there’s still absolutely 0 reason for anyone in the refugee district to attack Hanka mechanics

Turns out the devices meant for hacking were sent by someone rich

Before the sender’s name s found out, the receiver of the devices are killed

One refugee’s consciousness is preserved and Motoko dives in it and finds out that the sender was someone from the Japanese government.

This sounds so fishy that Aramaki literally goes to the prime minister to ask if there’s anyone in the government who is openly against Hanka mechanics and refugees

He gets a name and sends it over to Section 9

There is still the scene where he is attacked and he obliterates the attackers

The people from Section 9 are also attacked and they split up and escape

Motoko and Batou get to an abandoned area in the refugee district with two tachikomas and there is a fight

Meanwhile Aramaki has got an order from the prime minister to arrest the man who is behind all this

It’s just an old man who is still full human and hates cybernetics because his wife was one of the first ones to try Hanka’s cybernetic products that weren’t really suitable for her and she died

He also hates the refugees because he thinks they are making Japan’s economy worse

Aramaki arrests the guy while Motoko and Batou finish the fight

Togusa has been evacuating the refugees with Ladriya and Ishikawa

Paz, Borma and Saitou were guarding Aramaki after the attack

A new member is elected to the government (Kayabuki, perhaps?) and with their support, a new law is passed to help the refugees integrate to the Japanese society

We still get much contemplation about ghosts and stuff with the lovable but annoying voices of tachikomas

NO. KUZE. AT. ALL

Seriously if they want Kuze, they should do the Laughing Man/Individual 11 storylines (also yes I’d love to see the SAC version of Motoko’s past in live action with Ilaria Graziano’s I Do)

Maybe add Proto as well, he was kinda sweet in 2nd SAC??

Also maybe add Origa’s music, I’d love that as well, maybe as end credits song?

That’s it

Orion out

See, Dreamworks, I think this would be better

All in all I’m so mad that I was stupid enough to go see that film but at least I got to see the new Valerian trailer, I hope that film is great

User Review

Author:

Rating: 8/10 We live in a society that assumes being overcritical means showing a display of intelligence. Don't let this film be tarnished by that fad.

I will do my best to make this short and sweet. (Probably not)

READ: (For those who HAVEN'T seen the original films)

This film is a fantastic example of a film that is complex yet simple. I expected the worst from the film and I received more. I won't lie to you and tell you this film is on par with something like The Matrix (the original was) but it is well worth seeing and stands out as unique. We all know that's nearly impossible to do these days. Please take this into consideration and go to see the film with no expectations. You'll be surprised that way.

READ: (For those who HAVE seen the original films)

I'm sorry this film wasn't everything we dreamed it would be, but can we honestly act surprised when Hollywood screenwriters avoid immensely complex story arches? They have simplified this story for the masses in the same way The Lord of the Rings was simplified for the masses. If you spend your time comparing this film with the originals you will come up short, every time. This is NOT the original film, this is its own film that you need to appreciate as it stands (I know that is difficult, believe me). If you haven't already seen it, please take my word for it and go in with no expectations, go in cold (like it is a new experience).

(Final Comments)

I take user reviews to heart for movies. I appreciate the opinions of the people more than I appreciate the opinions of the paid critics. Seeing a 6.9 as the current user score (as of March 31st) is unfortunate, because this film captures EVERYTHING that Ghost in the Shell was and thanks to this film IS CURRENTLY. As a film it stands strong in the Sci-Fi genre and does manage to still be thought-provoking. Please consider taking your time before giving it a low rating.

Understand that the talents that put this film together adopted this baby from its original developers and they did NOT destroy it, as some over-exaggerators may proclaim. "The Last Airbender" – THAT is an example of something being destroyed. GHOST IN THE SHELL stands still intact. Of course it isn't as fleshed out and philosophical as the original film (which paid an immaculate amount of attention to detail and information) but it DOES live in the same world and it DOES tell the same story. I promise you that if it HAD stayed completely with the script of the animated film, it would be getting attacked for being an unnecessary remake or overly complicated.

I've given this an 8 out of 10 because I see 6 as mediocre and 10 as a perfect film. 8 is somewhere in between. I do not believe this is the best adaption or sci-fi film I've seen, but it was enjoyable and much pain-staking work was put into it… that shows when you watch it. Don't be entirely emotional about the way you view this movie. Watch it for what it is, not what it is in comparison.

Thank you for reading, I appreciate it. Take the time to see this movie and take your time before rating it. Really chew on it first, because it deserves better than it is receiving.

Review: Ghost in the Shell (2017)

Anime adaptations have had a rough time in Hollywood. The first two attempts, Speed Racer and Dragonball Evolution, were critical and box office failures. The Ghost in the Shell franchise, however, has some of the trappings of a successful live-action film: adult characters, sophisticated themes, and lots of stylized action. Its adaptation seemed poised to be anime's first Hollywood success story. With the news that Ghost only made $60 million of its $110 million budget in its opening weekend, finishing in third place behind The Boss Baby (BOSS BABY!) and Beauty and the Beast, it seems like those hopes have been dashed. On top of all that, the film isn't even very good.

In the near future, widespread cybernetic implants have greatly enhanced human capabilities. Major Mira Killian nearly died in a terrorist attack as a child, only for Hanka Robotics to save her brain and place it in a fully robotic body or "shell" (the titular "ghost" being her mind itself). Motivated by her experience with terrorism, she now serves as a member of anti-terror task force Section 9. When the Major and her squad face off against a terrorist targeting Hanka Robotics scientists, their investigation leads to a series of revelations about her past.

It would be foolish to skirt around Scarlett Johansson's casting as Mira, the Character Formerly Known as Motoko Kusanagi; not only was it a controversial choice among Asian-American filmgoers and fans of the original story, but the film itself addresses the controversy within its own canon. I'll concede that the Major, despite her Japanese name, need not by definition be played by an Asian actress; the character's body can look like anything at all. But in an age when Hollywood still fails to cast Asian actors in lead roles, to pass up this clear opportunity to cast an Asian actor in an Asian property is irresponsible.

Though Masamune Shirow's Ghost in the Shell manga and its anime versions hardly grapple with race, the franchise is, in fact, quite political. Wrapped around the police procedural format of Ghost in the Shell is an interrogation of the ramifications of cybernetics on geopolitics, the economy, and the criminal justice system. Director Mamoru Oshii's first film — the obvious template for Rupert Sanders's Hollywood version — begins as a detective story but also poses questions of legality and identity. Can an AI demand diplomatic immunity? When your body and mind are hackable, customizable systems, what makes you "you"?

The live-action film, by contrast, grossly simplifies things, and seems far more concerned with presenting digestible platitudes than grappling with ambiguous ethical quandaries. I expect deviations and simplifications in an adaptation, but the movie isn't even effective at what it sets out to do! The very first scene lays bare the entire dialectic: Hanka is experimenting on humans for profit, which is Very Bad. This sets up a film that should focus on the Major's shaky sense of identity and history with Hanka, but instead director Rupert Sanders (Snow White and the Huntsman) spends an inordinate amount of time aping specific scenes from the original anime: the spider tank fight, the scuba diving scene, the hacked garbageman. The Major's famous jump off of the building even occurs TWICE! Severed from their original context, these iconic moments become mere visual accents, and often lack any thematic resonance with the rest of the film.

Like the references to the original, the members of Section 9 mostly feel like window dressing. Pilou Asbæk plays Batou, the Major's gruff sidekick, and Japanese legend "Beat" Takeshi Kitano plays Section 9's chief Aramaki, who speaks subtitled Japanese for the entire movie. The rest of them — Togusa, Ishikawa, Saito, Borma, and new character Ladriya (presumably a female replacement for Paz) — barely get any screen time or character development. Even when the action calms down enough to develop the relationships between the Batou, Aramaki, the Major, and her Hanka handlers, it's mostly communicated via dialogue that bluntly reiterates the film's themes.

On top of that, Johansson and Kitano both deliver sleepy performances. There's a clear effort to contrast the Major's emotional turbulence and robotic efficiency, but a ham-fisted script and wooden acting from Johansson place her at a bland midpoint between cold-hearted cop and troubled ingénue. Unsurprisingly for fans of the original, Batou is heart of the film; in his exchanges with Johansson, Asbæk sells him as a soldier whose hard edges belie a certain human tenderness, and it's a shame the film doesn't give him and the screenwriters more time to explore the character.

The action scenes are readable but rarely all that exciting or creative. Many of the fight scenes are either focused on showcasing set pieces or imitating the anime rather than establishing characterization or themes. Despite his reputation for being a badass, Kitano sits in a chair for most of the movie, only to completely steal the show when he finally sees combat for roughly two minutes at the end of the film.

The movie has at least gotten a lot of praise for its visuals, though the holographic projections and bright clothes that blanket the city often feel a little too amped up — more Speed Racer than Blade Runner. The irony is that, despite anime's reputation for flashiness, the Ghost in the Shell franchise has always featured a fairly muted color palette. The rest of the movie strikes a nice balance between sleek futurism and realistic industrial utility that closely mirrors the anime and manga designs. If nothing else, there is something kind of cool about seeing these iconic characters and mechanical designs recreated in a big-budget Hollywood movie.

And then there's the moment that Ghost in the Shell will surely be remembered for: a baffling attempt at an in-canon explanation for why a historically Asian character is played by a white actress. Like most of the story beats, it won't come as much of a surprise, but the intensely awkward sequence unfolds like a train crash in slow motion. The filmmakers would have been better off accepting Johansson's casting rather than trying to cover their asses.

As an adaptation, Ghost in the Shell fails miserably, mangling the themes of the original in order to accommodate Hollywood's assumption that Americans are too stupid for complex stories. But even on its own terms, the movie is a visually arresting but ultimately empty package that offers only the most facile critiques of its own technological society.

At least there's a basset hound in it.

after seeing ghost in the shell it would have been a lot better i they didn’t do this weird origin story and instead just did a police procedure and along the way you learn about the members of section 9 (who is ladriya?). it sorta fell into the trap of aeon flux with trying to mix together multiple episodes that aren’t related. the script was really needed to be more sophisticated and i dunno how many times people had to mention “a ghost” or “a shell”. it’s like someone who read one philosophy book back in high school wrote it. overall i don’t think the people in charge really understood how to do science fiction. scarlett really needed to take notes from brent spiner as to how to act like a robot. she looked confused most of the time and i think it would be better if she acted like a normal person who had pensive moments. i don’t understand why she’s moving her lips if she’s talking to people through the net. i also don’t get the blade runner city design. i can’t find that reference in the anime. why are there holograms w/ women in kimonos and fish and women in kimonos running around the city?

Ghost in the Shell's 'motion posters' are gif-tastic

With just a few weeks to go until the Ghost in the Shell live-action film actually happens, I continue to find myself surprised it exists and even more surprised that it looks kind of rad. What we've seen so far isn't the same as the original manga or the anime adaptations, but it does feel like a different beast that's nonetheless aware of its source. 

Anyway, it's also got some cool "motion posters", which are basically just short videos laid out like a movie poster, rather than having moving characters like those magical Harry Potter photographs. That inherently disappointing reality doesn't prevent them from being pretty cool-looking, though. They look a lot like the kind of holographic ads you really would see in some cyberpunk future.

They're also a way to get a look at the principal cast, including Scarlett Johansson's Major (I still get weirded out that they seem to be treating "Major" as a proper name rather than her rank), as well as Pilou Ansbaek's Batou, Chin Han's Togusa, Yutaka Izumihara's Saito, Takeshi Kitano's Aramaki, Tawanda Manyimo's Borma, and an original character named Ladriya, played by Danusia Samal. Paz, the Yakuza-esque character that tends to be paired up with Borma, isn't in the lineup, but Paz may still make an appearance in the film, at least based on the Instagram feed of British musician Tricky.

Check out the motion posters below, as well as a clip of Tested's Adam Savage nerding out over some of the Robo-geisha props created for the film by famed effects studio Weta Workshop.

Ghost in the Shell: Check Out These New Character Posters

In anticipation of the release of Ghost in the Shell next month, several new character posters for the upcoming live-action film have been revealed.

See Scarlett Johansson's The Major, Pilou Asbæk's Batou, Chin Han's Togusa, Yutaka Izumihara's Saito, Lasarus Ratuere's Ishikawa, Tawanda Manyimo's Borma, Takeshi Kitano's Aramaki and Danusia Samal's Ladriya in the gallery below.

Rupert Sanders directed the live-action adaptation, which draws from not only Mamoru Oshii's iconic 1995 animated film, but all of Ghost in the Shell's pre-existing source material. According to executive producer Michael Costigan, the film will serve as "a portal into this universe."

Λοιπόν προτού ακούσω τίποτα σαχλαμάρες του τύπου: ”Ωπα, ρε μαν, αυτή η φάση δεν θυμίζει τη Lucy που έπαιζε πάλι η Σκαρλετίτσα;” ή ”Σιγά τα ωά, ‘φτιάξαν Ρόμποκοπ με γκόμενα”, ένα πράγμα θα πώ: Μάθε παίδι μου γράμματα!

Για τους άσχετους, άρα, που δεν πήραν ακόμα πρέφα περί τινός πρόκειται αυτό το φάντασμα στο κέλυφος (ναι, οκ, θα μπορούσαν και καλύτερα οι μεταφραστές, καλή προσπάθεια πάντως, give this man a cookie!) πρόκειται για μεταφορά του ομώνυμου άνιμε του 1995. Και έγινε καλτ και ξανάφερε στη�� επιφάνεια την όλη cyberpunk κουλτούρα και ναι, ναι… Έφτιαξε το δρόμο για το Matrix τόσο σε φιλοσοφικό επίπεδο όσο και σε επίπεδο δράσης.

Οπότε γιατί η Σκαρλετίτσα την είδε Μίλα Γιόβοβιτς; Η φάση είναι εκεί γύρω στο 2029 σε μια πόλη που θυμίζει Hong Kong (αφού Blade Runner) και οι άνθρωποι έχουν εμφυτεύματα και προσθετικά ακόμα και για τον εγκέφαλο τους. Η Σκαρλετίτσα είναι μπατσίνα full custom design και κυνηγάει κακούς χάκερ ώσπου εμφανίζεται ο πιο επικίνδυνος από αυτούς. Ε, τα υπόλοιπα είναι σπόιλερ αλλά κάτι θα δείτε κάτι υπαρξιακές φιλόσοφιες, αν οι μηχανές μπορούν να σκεφτούν, τι είναι συνείδηση και άλλα που υπήρχαν στο άνιμε και ΕΛΠΙΖΩ να υπάρχουν και σ’ αυτή.

Οπότε εντυπώσεις! Από το τρέιλερ η αισθητική είναι αυτό που πρέπει να είναι και εκεί δεν θα απογοητευτούμε. Φώτα, φουτουρισμός, κομπούτερς, γυμνά cyborg, όλο το πακέτο. Tώρα από ιστορία… Ε, δεν περιμένω το βάρος των άνιμε. Από το πιστολίδι και μόνο… Σταυρώνω τα δάχτυλα χεριών και ποδιών και περιμένω την 30η Μάρτη!

Εδώ ο Γιαπωνέζος έκανε άνιμε που διαδραματιζόταν στη Γερμανία και όλοι είχαν μάτια θυροειδή. Κουλαρέτε άρα. – Η Σκαρλετίτσα τους είπε ότι δεν γίνονται συχνά ταινίες με γυναίκες πρωταγωνίστριες και το γύρισε μπούμερανγκ. Go get girl! – Tην διανομή στην αρχή την είχε η Ντίσνευ αλλά τελικά πέρασε στην Universal. Να πάτε να αρμέξετε το Star Wars, φαταούλες!

“Το Φάντασμα στο Κέλυφος” – Cyberpunk is not dead! Λοιπόν προτού ακούσω τίποτα σαχλαμάρες του τύπου: ''Ω��α, ρε μαν, αυτή η φάση δεν θυμίζει τη Lucy που έπαιζε πάλι η Σκαρλετίτσα;'' ή ''Σιγά τα ωά, 'φτιάξαν Ρόμποκοπ με γκόμενα'', ένα πράγμα θα πώ: Μάθε παίδι μου γράμματα!
