The opening credit sequence that is interspersed with clips of the Major being created.
As symbolized by the blue fish tank being surrounded by the red walls before becoming obliterated, foreshadowing the General wishing to destroy/shed the norm for the sake of the new. Red, as in most cases, is a symbol for warning, threat, compromised, potential danger. There are other instances of these colors showing up later on, but for now I take it to mean that blue represents the commonplace, the normal, the things that make us and others what they are. This is eventually shattered by the Major when she fires a round (or two or three) into the room. Once inside the room of interest, notice how the walls and ceiling are all red, and the fish tank built into the wall is a very bright blue. This is followed by blue for the actual physical city, as well as the clothing the major is wearing, which she soon sheds. Green is commonly associated with anything Interweb and digital in this film. The first color to show up in the film (if you don’t count the white text against a black background to introduce us to the world) is green, showcasing a digital map of the city. So why is yellow paired up with them despite the fact that it is a combination of the other 3? Well, the film-makers had to choose some color to stand out from the other 3 to represent something else. Those colors tend to make up all the colors that we see. Also worth noting that 3 of those colors is red green blue, RGB, the same colors used to make up the colors on the computer screen, television screen, and many image editing programs. I doubt I have completely grasped their meaning(s), but I’ll make an attempt to interpret them. These colors pop up at various points throughout the film. Primary colors to focus on: red, blue, yellow, green.

Plus it helps that you can’t tell at first glance if Major is joking or being serious. There is a theme of life, death, being born, reincarnation, evolution, and identity which relates to the “time of the month” line. During the introduction of the film, prior to the opening credits, the Major makes a remark in response to, “There’s a lot of noise in your brain.” In the dub, she replies, “Must be a loose wire.” In Japanese the translation is much closer to, “It’s my time of the month.” This is significant to the theme, while the American dub dumbs this down. In addition, there are some differences in the translation from the Japanese with English subtitles to the English dub. More on that later (along with an image). It’s difficult to spot, but becomes easier to notice later on when she’s taking on the spider tank. So as for why the Major (the main protagonist) seems to be practically nude, yet has no nipples, in the majority of the scenes where she takes her clothes off before cloaking, it’s because she wears a nearly transparent suit beneath her clothes that allows her to cloak. Like my review of the live action remake, I will mostly be focusing on the themes and metaphors and symbolism. The 5/5 rating should let you know how solid this film is. I intend to go in-depth with these topics. Because there is going to be massive spoilers ahead, spoilers that are necessary to make for the philosophical subject matters this film brings up. Ahead of it’s time, and more relevant than ever to this day.įor the record, if you haven’t seen this film, stop reading now and watch it. And then there’s the one I consider the best of the 3, Ghost in the Shell. The one that I understand why some like, but could never really “get:” Jin-Roh and the Wolf Brigade. The one that brought anime to America, and brought it there to stay forever: Akira.

I feel confined, only free to expand myself within boundaries.”ĭuring my childhood there have been 3 anime motion pictures I have come to know that, in my opinion, have been considered the quintessential anime films.
All of that plans to create a mixture that forms me and gives a rise to my conscience. Each of those things are just a small part of it, I collect information to use in my own way. Sure I have a face and voice to distinguish myself from others, but my thoughts and memories are unique only to me, and I carry a sense of my own destiny. “There are countless ingredients that make up the human body and mind, like all the components that make up me as an individual with my own personality.
