No, after watching Ghost in the Shell my concern is with how authentic will Hollywood get with its adaptation and Dreamworks with their choice of director. And I am not deluded to expect Hollywood to actually cast someone like Rinko Kikuchi for this role, since Hollywood is in fact a white industry. Personally I feel Scar Jo can pulled it off since she is a talented actress. The main issue is not with the remake itself, since many think it will make an interesting debate, the concern is with signing Scarlett Johansson as Motoko. Recently, the internet exploded when news about Ghost in the Shell Hollywood live-action remake comes to surface. While watching, I do get reminded of Blade Runner and Terminator in few scenes, but the gender and sexuality nature in the film is highly complex and definitely “mature” that it serves as a nice contrast between the West and East take on the subject. The ending also played an important part for my liking: it was jarring and unexpected. Second, my knowledge on anime is limited, although my interest broaden after viewing Ghost in the Shell. Is this a bad thing? Is this the standard theme for anime movies? To answer the first question, no it’s not necessarily a bad technique to leave certain aspect mysterious for the audience to dig later. In time we do learn about Motoko’s identity, but a lot of questions were left unanswered. Directed by Mamoru Oshii, the film doesn’t offer the usual guidelines for a stand-alone based on a comic book movie.
