In this edition: Rupert Sanders’ Ghost in the Shell.)Elon Musk is on the verge of shoving AI into our brains, and Scarlett Johansson hits theaters this week to sell us on how cool becoming a cyborg can be. After almost three decades in the public consciousness, first as a gorgeously challenging manga and then as boundary- busting animation, Masamune Shirow’s Ghost in the Shell has evolved into human form. Finding films to watch alongside it isn’t hard. The cyberpunk exploits of Public Security Section 9 chasing down a mind hacker have inspired the technological imaginations of plenty of modern movies (not to mention launching a franchise of three animated movies, a TV series and several Original Video Animations). Ghost in the Shell is the godmother that came along at the perfect time to re- launch a vision of the future fueled by the incipient internet, our relationship to AI, and the near- inevitability of our fusion with machines.
It turns out the only difficulty in hunting down its peers is finding examples that see that future as optimistically as it does. The Matrix. We’ve gotta get the obvious out of the way first.
Real Talk Ghost World Director Terry Zwigoff Has Learned to Expect the Worst from Hollywood. For all the liberties the new Ghost in the Shell takes with its source material, it’s more invested in that title, specifically the “ghost” soul of its cyborg.
The Wachowski Sisters’ breakthrough masterpiece is effectively the first live- action Ghost in the Shell. Just as Git. S was inspired by William Gibson’s “Neuromancer,” The Matrix borrowed extensively not only from Git.
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: Solid State Society (movie). Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands is the latest installment in the Ghost Recon franchise.

In the latest edition of Movie Mixtape, we explore the movies to watch after Ghost in the Shell and how they're all connected.
S‘s mental DNA but also directly from its visuals. The inspiration is fantastically clear. The naked, adult- fetal body emerging from the liquid, the neck plugs, and even some of the action beats should look familiar. The blending of humankind and machine is really just the start, so watching them back- to- back offers an interesting feeling of deja vu –as if The Matrix offers the dark view on what might have happened years after the tech- stasis of Ghost in the Shell, when the machines started getting bored with our weak, fleshy nonsense and realized how good we are at producing energy. Lucy. Luc Besson’s absurd(ly great) action flick is one part Ghost in the Shell, one part Limitless, thrusting star Scarlett Johansson into the position of accidental drug mule- turned- superhero.
Instead of neural lacing and an invasive internet, this film uses chemicals to hack the human mind, twisting cinema’s favorite myth about us “only using 1. Charles Xavier as the finish line.

It’ll be interesting to see how similar her Ghost in the Shell protagonist is to Lucy. Serial Experiments Lain. When it comes to weird anime street cred, this late ’9. A pile- up of identity philosophy, the intrusion of computers, and high level conspiracies, Serial Experiments Lain focuses on a young suburban girl drawn into an expanded vision of the internet called The Wired when some of her classmates get an email from a girl who killed herself. In the context of her own psychological confusion, the series explores a razor thin line between reality and a simulation, placing her as the linchpin keeping the two worlds separated, and enticing her to let go of that separation by dying so that her corporeal awareness gets sloughed off. Like Ghost in the Shell, there’s also a computing genius switching sides in a game of cat- and- mouse with the curious hero, but a major thematic difference is the kind of exploration of suicide and mental illness that would later be reflected by Marion Cotillard’s Mal in Inception. As we blow past the Turing Test, we’ll have to reckon with a blurring line between reality and its virtual counterpart.
The Colossus of New York. After winning the “International Peace Prize,” Jeremy Spensser (Ross Martin) dies in a car crash, but his famous brain surgeon father (Otto Kruger) can’t let his son or his potential to change the world go. So he transplants Jeremy’s brain into a grotesque automaton so that his humanitarian work can continue. Turns out, that may have been a bad call. Eugène Lourié’s b- movie contemplation of the dangers of future tech argues starkly that machines make us lose our humanity by showing us one of our best reduced to a laser- beam shooting metal shell of his former self.
There can be no question, in The Colossus of New York, people and machines cannot co- exist in one body because the mechanical element squeezes out space where the soul used to live. Spensser ends up with the compassion of a vending machine even with that extra S in his last name. An outcast outside of his natural body, Spensser becomes a rampaging killer monster in a cautionary tale that should have people giving their microwaves suspicious glances.
If the message at the end of Ghost in the Shell is that humans can find a symbiosis with machinery, the message of Colossus of New York is that the machines will always overpower us. Pages: 1 2. Next page. Cool Posts From Around the Web.
