"Even a doll can have a soul."

In that regard, can a meager writer such as myself overcome the dire obstacle and respon…

Acerca do Fantasma e da Concha

As discussões do século XXI cada vez mais têm sido marcadas pela busca da inserção da tecnologia à vida humana. O clássico de 1995, Ghost in the shell, aborda esta discussão do ponto de vista filosófico utilizando-se, e muito, do hard fiction. "GITS" é situado no ano de 2029, em um cenário distópi…

Life After Machine

Ghost in the Shell is undoubtedly one of the most influential anime films, no, one of the most influential animated films ever made. It did wonders in reducing the stigma towards anime and other animated content held by the West and was a pioneer in many regards. I don't think I'm going to be able t…

O filme mais importante da minha vida!

A primeira vez que assisti a GITS foi um turbilhão de emoções e pensamentos, eu já havia visto a personagem uma vez ou outra, mas só decidi vê-lo após saber de sua importância para indústria, e bom, não importa quantas vezes eu o assista, sempre serão uma hora e vinte minutos bem usados. Tudo que e…

A ghost of a story and a shell of an experience.

~~~img600(https://i.imgur.com/g2QFzfu.png)~~~ # ~~~__Spoiler-free review__~~~ <n></n> # Review in brief: Ghost in the Shell takes itself far too seriously, and in turn ends up spreading its considerable aesthetic focus thin across a soulless plot and a theme that it can’t wrap its own head around.…

A classic anime film delving into themes of blurred identity

(The following review is based on an essay I wrote for an English course on international science fiction in 2022, with light revisions made in 2023 and 2024.) From the opening credits scene of Mamoru Oshii's _Ghost In The Shell_, themes of dehumanization and blurred identity are present. This sequ…

Y'all may not like it but Ghost in the Shell is overrated.
