I like philosophy as much as the next guy, but really now, oshii's depiction of GITS is way off what I think Shirow has in mind. Shirow's characters were never "dark" and angsty. They were light hearted, in your face characters. Oshii's GITS, characters are like philosophical professors masquerading as policemen....it felt almost laughable that every interaction between characters has some kinda quote from some piece of literature or other.
Well anyway, 3 SPOILER QUESTIONS i'd like to ask.
1.) Of course, what is the ghost dubbing supposed to do? Is it a short-cut programming for the geisha bots to implant "ghosts" in them?
2.) Batou's right arm, was it real in the movie? They mentioned that they changed it to a new one, but i'm not sure if the "old" one was cybernetic or not.
3.) When the geisha bots started attacking in the ship, were they acting as the ship's security guards or were they being infected by something else? Cause they attacked the ship's guards. I got kinda confused at the triumvirate cantonese speaking robots. Were they getting hacked by someone else other than Togusa?
