Ghost in the Shell
- angelm3021 mai 2025A thrilling and narratively complex anime film about the troubles that come with technological advancement, and the potential harm of melding the body with cybernetics. A cautionary tale that in no uncertain terms makes it clear that privacy no longer exists in a technologically advanced society.
- Andre Bautz19 février 2025A very good mix of fantasy and sci-fi. It shows a dystopian, Cyberpunk future. It is visually stunning, fast-paced, but also has quiet moments to linger and enjoy. The story is difficult to follow very quickly in place, but I think that the fact that we are following a special unit also makes it realistic. The picture and sound are still very, very good after all this time.
- Richard3 août 2025Ghost in the Shell drops you into a rain-soaked, neon-lit future where the lines between human and machine have all but vanished. Major Motoko Kusanagi, a cybernetic agent of Section 9, is chasing down a mysterious hacker known as the Puppet Master, but the deeper she goes, the more she questions her own identity, memories and what it means to have a soul in a digitized world. The film is packed with atmosphere. Neo-Tokyo feels haunting and alive. It’s not just eye candy, though. The story dives deep into philosophical territory: consciousness, self-awareness, and the cost of technological progress. It’s no surprise this film influenced The Matrix, Ex Machina and a whole generation of sci-fi. That said, it’s not for everyone. The dialogue can get dense, and Motoko’s detached persona makes emotional connection tricky on a first watch. Still, I first saw this on a import DVD and it stuck with me. It’s one of those films that lingers, visually, intellectually, emotionally. If you’re into cerebral sci-fi or just want to see where half of modern cyberpunk got its DNA, this is essential viewing.

Le jour où sa section retrouve la trace du 'Puppet Master', un hacker mystérieux et légendaire dont l'identité reste totalement inconnue, la jeune femme se met en tète de pénétrer le corps de celui-ci et d'en analyser le ghost (élément indéfinissable de la conscience, apparenté à l'âme) dans l'espoir d'y trouver les réponses à ses propres questions existentielles...
