trying to find out how much cyanide can kill a person and google begs me not to kill myself

The entire 3-minute city ambiance scene from Ghost in the Shell (1995) is already one of the best moments in all of cinema imo, but I NEED to talk about my absolute favorite part from it:

That brief moment when Major Kusanagi and a stranger with her exact same body model catch a glance at one another. How quickly the initial curiosity of seeing the doppelgänger turns into a feeling of unease as the boat carries her away.

She will never meet this stranger. She'll never know anything about her other than the simple reminder that every piece of her cybernetic body is not unique to her. There is no part of her other than her brain and all its memories that she has any true ownership of, and even that isn't immune to being hacked and potentially erased by outside forces. Despite being a part of a bustling city, all she can do is reflect on how utterly isolated she feels as a living being.

How can she possibly define her humanity when she herself is confined in the form of what is essentially a highly modified weapon? How can she relate to others when she has more in common with the mannequins on display in a shopping mall than with the any of the people walking the streets?

All of this inner turmoil at one’s own existence conveyed without a SINGLE word of dialogue spoken. Now that's the power of cinema if I've ever seen it!

even if I came to love humanity in the end, there’s no proof I was ever here, right?

Death doesn't discriminate Between the sinners And the saints It takes and it takes and it takes

and whether his eyes stay shut or he just stops caring enough

it feels the same

Now I'm sliding down the wall with my head in my hands saying, "How could I not see the signs?" Oh, you haven't written me or called but goodbye’s screaming in the silence, and the voices in my head are telling me why. Cause you got her on your arm and me in the wings. I’ll get your longing glances, but she'll get your ring. And you will say you had the best of intentions. And maybe I will finally learn my lesson. Afterwards, she only atе kids' cereal and couldn't sleep unless it was in her mother's bed. Then she dated boys who were her own age with dart boards on the backs of their doors. She thought about how he said since she was so wise beyond her years, everything had been above board. She wasn't sure.
