Chris Stuckmann reviews Ghost in the Shell, starring Scarlett Johansson, Pilou Asbaek, Takeshi Kitano, Juliette Binoche, Michael Pitt. Directed by Rupert Sanders.
Don't judge a ghost by its...shell
I'll let myself out
well the movie had the shell
just not the ghost.
LASTOLYMPIAN You guys are the worst 😣
clap hand*
Hand over suicide solution in syringe.
LASTOLYMPIAN 🚪
LASTOLYMPIAN Terrible.
Who else sighed in relief as soon as he said it was good
SamuelJackson i did
SamuelJackson to be honest i skiped to the end to avoid the spoilers and went to the grade. when I see the movie I'll be back
I did
Same here
Saw it as a preview tonight, and he's right it's definitely good. Scarlett did a great job and it was well made. There is a mix of languages, but one guy even only speaks in Japanese which was a nice touch.
it is a genuine tragedy that the score was never released.
Wow that really sucks.
It's downloadable for free. But I can't find the source right now. But if you look up the composer's name and then ghost in the shell soundtrack, you'll find a post where he himself released it.
Cool
The Japanese Ghost in the Shell is also very culturally deep with Shintoism and Damashii, spirits. Japanese believe when you create something or anything it has its own unique soul whether a needle, a rice ball, a doll, a kimono or a tool. They also believe the longer the item exist it develops more of a soul, character, and personality. Depending on how its treated it could become good or evil and if long lived begin to animate or move it self and even become a god of sorts. The idea of the Ghost in the Shell is that they used parts of Makoto, a person's mind, while at the same time creating a new body thus a new Damashii or spirit should reside inside, however Makoto receives constant flash backs to her other life, therefore there is a Ghost inside yet the body is new, however with a ghosh insides the new creation it is but a shell. So spiritually for the Japanese how do you make a new body when there is a Ghost inside that just makes the body now a shell and no new soul can take place inside? Does something new still emerge? Do they join together? Think this is a side many American viewers don't see or even know about.
I think it translates to western philosophy pretty easily. An essentialist soul vs. mechanistic mind. Something is retained as the 'ghost' but many times the memories and 'personality' are erased, so what is retained,...or what is changed when a personality inhabits a new body... is the whole question...but maybe we miss a little of the reference and connection to this culture- particularly the music is related to folk songs, but then its not just japanese- that's bulgarian folk music! this anime film already mixed up parts, much like Blade Runner or Neuromancer is set in a melting pot of nationalities, i think GiTS was meant to be that too.
Excellent analysis
Thank you for sharing that.
This still confuses me lol maybe I’ll never understand it , The message is clearly for a certain person , I’m still utterly confused
Weeeeeeeb
Guys, I grew up with Chris Stuckmann's review of Ghost in the Shell
Sonny Etchell So that's it huh? We some kind of Ghost In The Shell - Movie Review?
Sonny Etchell invalid opinion
+Riley Smith probably the worst use of that meme ive seen 👍
Oh my god you guys, I grew up with this comment chain.
monsterhunterfan10052--dammit i agree
I'm American, but I'm dumbfounded by how many Americans are close-minded towards anime. They refuse to see it just cuz it's different, which makes absolutely no sense. Some anime films are better than most American animated films.
Jake G 2187
It's because the majority of Americans think it's cartoons. Cartoons = dumb kid shit.
Jake G 2187 I think it's becouse Americans refuse to expose them selves to other culture and mostly stay within their own because "It's da best culture"
I am not American, I tried giving anime a chance. I watched Death Note, I watched Another, I tried watching FMA: Brotherhood. First got repetitive very fast, second got a very shitty and anti-climactic ending, the last one was trying to raise very adult problems, while being childish as fuck. Other than movies done by Hayao Miyazaki, I am yet to meet anime that would make me feel as if it is art from start to finish, not just in some rare moments.
Perhaps you can suggest a good adult anime?
it's because anime is gay m8.
Reminds me of the same attitude for stop motion animation.
Never mind me... just over here binge watching every single video on this channel.
Doing that now lol
@@DavidLee-ll9vq seven months after doing the same lol
me too
RELATABLE!
STUCKMANIZED!!!!!
I remember the "controversy" surrounding the movie concerning Scarlet being cast as Major, and yet the OVERWHELMING response from Japanese people was that she looked beautiful!
Lmfao they are very nice people just like the Canadians
The people who were angry in the US were Asian Americans. There's a difference between a Japanese person born and raised in Japan and a Japanese person born and raised in the west, one is exposed to racism.
Asian Americans wanted to know why Hollywood insists on remaking Asian films while excluding Asians from them....anyway, the movie was a big flop
@jeppemichael 1. It seems that you might not know what cultural appropriation is.
2. We non whites care greatly about the appropriation of our cultures and
we don't mind when people appreciate it but sadly many people prefer to be ignorant.
Please watch Madonna's Nothing Really Matters music video and then Michael Jackson's Black or White music video and see if you can spot which one is cultural appropriation and which one is cultural appreciation.
@jeppemichael Cultural appropriation is when a dominate group take a custom/practice from a minority group, removes the cultural meaning, and redistributes to the masses as an original idea while profiting from it.
So no...I will stay logged in thanks
I will log off for good tho when white people stop using Coltan.
@jeppemichael Why you gotta belittle anyone who has different life experiences than you?
Do you ever wonder if Chris is wearing pants during reviews?
Mauricio Mendoza i do now and forget he's a tall giant
asking the real questions here.
Mauricio Mendoza As a British person I hope he's got pants on. Not bothered if he's trouser-less.
Mauricio Mendoza
uh, no
😂
Speed Racer is my guilty pleasure movie, I don't know why but I enjoy it despite having the worst green screen I have ever seen.
Bissy even worst than some spy kids movies? lol I haven't seen speed racer
Bissy I love the Speed Racer movie actually
Agreed, it's a pretty fun movie.
I think it will outlive Dark Knight, because it's actually insanely well shot, cut, designed and it's original. I mean, all the verticality, mixing two timelines in one picture, car construction scene, the part where villain is explaining what will happen, but at the end of scene you realize it actually already happened, final scene where reaching finish line morphs into some space odyssey space travel transcendent shit, there's a lot to love.
A beautiful acid trip of fun.
I'm glad somebody fucking likes this movie, I can almost never find legitimate criticism against this film because purists have this agenda against it because it's not a beat for beat shot of the original.
I hope you all are happy getting garbage like Death Note being pushed out instead of something like this, amazing, underrated and overlooked film.
I think many critics of this movie have a pretty much opposite view. This movie sometimes tries to remake certain scenes from the roiginal shot for shot, and many (myself included) felt that this is something that held the movie back from being a truly original entry in the series. It's a bit similiar to the criticism the new Lion King got. It's a nostalgia bomb (to a degree), but it doesn't have the same depth as the original because of that.
Amen @Gin.
My main criticism is that they ditched most, if not all, of the original themes and basically remade Robocop almost beat for beat. Again. Visually they nailed the look of GITS and I love the movie for that, but it was really predictable.
@@awandererfromys1680 What specific themes do you feel were jettisoned and not present in the film. "Remade Robocop" is hyperbolic at best. Come on good sir.
@@therealchickentender Well, X is fatally wounded in a traumatic event, and officially declared dead. In secret, X is taken by Evil Corporation, has their memories wiped, and is rebuild into an experimental cyborg with superhuman combat capabilities. The public mission statement is "to protect the innocent" or something similar wholesome sounding, but in reality Evil Corporation wants to gain more power and control over society. And more money of course. Anyway, X slowly regains their memories and identity, figures out what is going on, and rebels against Evil Corporation. After a few obligatory action scenes against a formidable foe where X almost seems to fail, Evil CEO is killed and X triumphs.
X can be either Murphy or Major Killian. Same story, different visuals.
In the manga Kusanagi isn't "the first of her kind," she's an old cyborg. Although she's filled to the brim with state-of-the-art military cybernetics, she looks like a standard factory model. That's why she occasionally sees copies of herself on the street. It's hinted that she became a cyborg in a similar way as in the movie, but her memory was never wiped or manipulated. The Mira Killian alter ego is completely made up for the movie's plot.
Kusanagi's personal conflict is her questioning her own humanity after spending decades in an artificial body deep-diving into neural nets and other people's "ghosts." Up to the point where she starts to believe that she's fully synthetic, with artificial memories, and without a ghost of her own. The copies aren't helping either.
This is why she is also a raging, foul-mouthed alcoholic who illegally prostitutes _herself_ to other women. To feel something... real.
Anime Kusanagi is more brooding and stoic, and far less promiscuous. But otherwise pretty much the same person.
Ghost in the Shell is about the meaning of humanity and identity in a transhumanist world that's on the brink of technological singularity. And our main protagonist is quite a mess. So is the world she lives in. Is it even ready for what is happening?
In the movie there are a few moments where Major questions _what_ she is, or is becoming, but as soon as she starts to remember _who_ she is, the what becomes mostly unimportant. Her story arc is regaining her identity and autonomy, not transcending the human species and what that would mean.
Now I'm not a "purist," I love the movie for its visuals, and Scarlett made a good Major. And I can easily understand why they ditched the manga persona of Kusanagi. But as soon as I figured out what was going on, the movie just became very predictable. I mean, it really is... Robocop.
I really like this movie, actually. Its not a masterpiece but not deserving of all the hate either. And Pilou Asbaek as Batou and Takeshi Kitano as Aramaki were absolutely inspired casting choices!
Some where between Chris and Jeremy the truth lies.
TheGreesh Rotten Tomatoes is at 72%.....that's the dead smack middle so I don't know what to think at this point
Nicolas Villegas so it's pretty good . B is a solid ,an A is wow go watch it
Probably means some people liked it a good bit, others not so much.
TheGreesh you mean opinion
I really think the answer is the source material. If you liked the original and "get" anime, then you will enjoy it. If you are a person who thinks anime is for kids or a meat head that doesn't understand it, or only give good ratings to Oscar bait, then you will not enjoy it.
Scarlett Johanson was Mindy in the SpongeBob SquarePants Movie😎!
Harry Thomas Pictures huh
Jack Rose Presents Really😃?
Jack Rose Presents Cool, he did a great job😉!
I lost my shit when i first found that out lol
I know! Literally mentioned that in another comment talking about how Chris probably grew up with her. That was one of the first DVD's my family got probably and I still have it... I could not count the number of times I watched that movie. It was one of my go-to movies to watch when I was home sick so a lot. And I have another friend who grew up with it too... Actually, it really weirded me out when I found out. She's only 12 and a half years older than me, and I only really knew about her as more than a name I heard when the Avengers came out, and so she did that film as a teenager.
I really love this movie.
It hurts me how bad this movie went in the box office.
Indeed man. I had never seen the anime until after I had to watch part 1 and 2. It's definitely so close to the source material and they nailed this one. A lot of my friends hated it but it was good.
I'm glad, Hollywood needs to stay the hell out of anime.
@@sleepwalking117 No, they didn't. The story is a total different one, a mere revenge plot. The original story was so much more and revolved around so many more topics. In the original they were literally hunting a ghost in a shell! In this they hunt some angry teenager.
The final fight scene against the spider tank made no sense at all in the new movie. Why did she fight it? In the original one she had a time limit, hence she chose to engage it in a david-vs-goliath battle and failed in the end, only to be saved by Batou.
As much as i am a sucker for great visuals (and it had amazing ones), the new film fucked up every grander theme of the original and as such is a shell without a ghost.
@@badoli1074 she fought it to survive, like what!
and whats the fucking point if you gonna watch the same movie, i actually liked the refreshing plot alot and it was very well done.
@@sleepwalking117 This movie visually hits, it matches the original film. Where it missed the mark for me comes into some theming. Its not a bad film. And its not the worst entry ive seen in the ghost in the shell franchise. And if if this is gateway for people into the franchise. Im all for it.
"I would cry if there was a good Ghost In The Shell adaptation." -Chris Stuckmann, 5 Reasons to see Edge of Tomorrow.
There are no tears to be found. That's a shame.
Mark Parkinson we’ll noted lol
I'm confused. Did you mean "well noted'?
you forgot edge of tomorrow that was also a great Manga to American movie adaptation :D
Light Novel actually and it was pretty low profile. And the movie is actually better than the light novel.
theres also Preist.
chris Plissken lady snowblood was also good
Well that movie wasn't all that great lol
Ghost in the Shell grew up with Chris.
srbarkerchan so did I. who cares
+member berries you must be new here
lurk moar
Chris Stuckmann saying " they are gonna treat it like 'that's japanese, that's not for the united states' " meanwhile anime and manga are more popular in the US than in Japan.
Is that fucking Silver Fang?!
The movie "Ghost in the Shell" is a great combination of "La Femme Nikita", "Bladerunner", and "The Fifth Element."
I felt it was better then the anime. In a lot of ways. The puppet master felt absolutely none existing in the anime. I honestly forgot he was the main objective. This movie did a better job recreating the character and I felt it made wise creative choices that fit the plot and gave it more resolve rather then a cliff hanger that lead to another film where major wasn't even in the second film. So I think it did a better job and gave closure to the story where even if it didn't do well it's a stand alone film and at the same time they could move forward with other plots from the show. So it's a great start. Alita battle angel was the next anime movie that hit a home run in following the story and giving a compelling visual and dialogue.
It was honestly a beyond decent film. I would even call it good. As a fan of every movie, series, and the manga, I always love adaptations. It also had a lot of references for the fans to enjoy. Some may call that forced, but I liked it.
Very underrated movie
No no and hell no. the whole thing the keeps the movie selling is skin suit of scar jo , They made the whole plot and make it so shitty. They copied scenes why can't they just copy the original movie, It's just a live action. With original plot it would have been alright still not might be close to original but decent. They just took a theme and sprayed hollywood style action movie shit on it. Major's struggle wasn't about some external man but herself. It was so internal. damn they spoiled a good plot
@@tnaithani1 It looks good tho
@@LuisSierra42 i know scarjo really looks fine af and design was good but a good plot changes everything atleast for me
I’m an old time fan of GITS since the manga, I’m an Asian (HongKonger), ain’t a big fan of Scarjo, and I still agree that this movie is beyond decent, it capture the main themes of the story and add a bit more of drama to help the “uninitiated” to enjoy.
Hollywood makes an anime adaptation and actually gets it right?
Good God, what a time to be alive!
candiigurl7893 xD
yay!!!
Actually...no they don't. They only good thing they did right was the visual appeal. Everything else is just plain wrong and a slap to the fan's face, ESPECIALLY towards how Batou acts to the origins of Major.
they got just about everything wrong.
candiigurl7893 Hollywood thinks hiring a jewish actor is diversity. They do this many times and never learn. *never*
I grew up with the trailer for this, so I was very interested when I heard they were going to adapt the trailer into a movie.
I grew up in a robot neighborhood so I was interested when I heard they were making this movie.
I grew up with this comment so I was very intereste to see the first reply. I was disappointed.
Mark Mccallum i grew up with my left hand and im disappointed im right handed
I grew up with Likes so i was interested to see how many likes this comment will get
Mark Mccallum I grew up with existence on Earth and was very excited for this movie because of it's setting on Earth
One of the most beautiful movies I've ever seen.
Highly underrated.
I shouldn't have been the same with the original in the first place.
I’m SO glad I’m not the only one who appreciated it! And yes, I loved how they actually addressed her race in the film. Very touching, honestly. I cried.
Yess
What makes me laugh is Scarlett Johansson looks exactly like Major in the anime lol
and she's a freaking cyborg. She was great and so was the movie.
Go watch Ghostbuster remake, it will make you appreciate this movie.
Eastern Visions more has been altered, clearly most of her memories have gone... she's pretty much a blank slate conditioned to be a weapon for Hanka robotics to sell to the government. In curious, if we do get a sequel... if she does start to remember more if she no longer takes that liquid that was supposedly to keep the brain from rejecting the cyborg body. i'm guessing it will just be fragments.
That's a good point, I guess because the whole movie was in english, and they had a lot of different ethics and cultures in there too they didn't bother?...I don't know I guess the director just wanted to make it more of a visual movie than anything. I can see what your saying
You're right it wasn't as deep and meaningful as the original, but I don't think the new one was suppose to be? the anime is wonderful, but it's quite heavy and complex for a wider audience and for people who aren't into japanese anime as the next person. So what they have done here is just simplified it, and mostly concentrated on the visuals. For such a ambitious movie, I think they did a great job. I don't even know if it would have translated as well if they completely copied it frame by frame, etc, I don't think the western world would have totally got it unless you're a hard core japanese anime fan. Having said that, it still wasn't liked by loads of people, and it was still classed as a flop, which is a shame.
Ephraim, no of course not, her mind was wiped clean. She has no memories (apart from that glitch)
Eastern Visions and yet it flopped and has overall terrible reviews lol
Let's see what Mamoru Oshii the director of the original Ghost in the Shell thinks....
"Mamoru Oshii, has weighed in on the whitewashing controversy surrounding the remake, saying that there is no basis for the criticism leveled at the decision to cast Scarlett Johansson in the lead role rather than an Asian actor. Oshii said that because the main protagonist - Major Motoko Kusanagi - is a cyborg, the question of race and whitewashing is a moot point. “What issue could there possibly be with casting her?” Oshii said. “The major is a cyborg and her physical form is an entirely assumed one.”
“The name ‘Motoko Kusanagi’ and her current body are not her original name and body, so there is no basis for saying that an Asian actress must portray her. Even if her original body (presuming such a thing existed) were a Japanese one, that would still apply.”
“If that’s not allowed, then Darth Vader probably shouldn’t speak English, either. I believe having Scarlett play Motoko was the best possible casting for this movie. I can only sense a political motive from the people opposing it, and I believe artistic expression must be free from politics.”
ofc he would say that, he's making bank from the movie. idiot.
Hey zippy didn't tell you my thoughts..only posted his....sorry if it triggered you.
Do you know what an "endorsement" is? It's just like how James Cameron endorsed Terminator Salvation and Terminator Genesis. Not saying Oshii doesn't like the adaptation, but he could care less about endorsing it. By contract, no people could talk negative about the project they are involved in; nor would they to any productions, since it can cost their relationship with companies. They are taking a percentage off the gross income anyways. Have you ever heard of a "negative endorsement" prior to a film's release? Even Alan Moore endorsed Watchmen, but changed his mind after it's release since he doesn't have to defend it any longer.
That's actually one of their defining characteristics, they're ideologues. Feels over reals.
So? are you assuming he did somethiing because another guy, from an entire different continent, did it? that is not a good argument.
THANK YOU for praising this movie, thought it was super underrated.
Give it a few more years, and groups will make it resurface and then it'll be seen as a good movie (as it should be)
Anthony Sanchez Basically exactly what happened with the original Blade Runner LOL. Initially received mixed reviews, and as time passes reviews became more positive and is declared a cult classic
Seriously, this is one of the most underrated movie of 2017. I still don't understand the hate for this movie.
No this movie fucking sucks
I liked it.
@@lMobiuscidl What sucks about it?
I doubt this random adaptation will be resistances and praised like The Cube.
Is it even a Chris Stuckmann video if he doesn't say that he grew up with something to do with the movie?
Yea ive noticed he always a personal connection to every movie he reviews, doesnt matter if its new, old... he has a story about his childhood to go with it
Steve Hoy because he's a genuine guy who doesn't bullshit the community. He speaks as a person. Reasons why his reviews are always on point. He knows his shit.
[laughing intensifies]
-Drew Silva
Thank you! Someone who gets it.
Drew Silva I wasn't saying that in a bad way, I know why he does it, and that's great, I was just makin a joke :)
Holy shit this is #18 on trending
#28 now
As I watched the original film first, then watched SAC, both seasons in fact, and Arise before watching this remake, I really appreciate how this adaptation took certain elements from everything so far. Not just direct recreations of certain scenes.
For example, Kuze was the main antagonist in SAC: 2nd GiG. In the Nightclub scene, Major is dressed all in red leather, which is of course a reference to Arise. And Chief Aramaki only speaks Japanese, which is a call back to the original film in it’s original Japanese Dub.
Man I'm so glad you liked this movie!! I was so happy with it. It was the best anime adaptation I've ever seen. I absolutely LOVED it. Pissed that people got so mad because it wasn't a Japanese actor... but what can ya do...i wish they would do a sequel!!
American: How dare you! this is Japanese anime, you should hired real japanese so they won't get offended
Japanese: we don't care
sean bowman Get syphilis.
Maybe they don't care because they already get enough representation in JAPAN? Maybe?
NO as there are no Japanese action actresses that could act the part as well as Scarlett Johansson , a box-office heavy-hitter. This naked lady kicks ass.
Irun Mon exactly! 😂
Why do you think that is? The reason there are "no Japanese action actresses that could act the part" is because Hollywood always replaces the roles of people of color in films with white people and/or just about refuses to cast people of color! If this role was given to a lesser known Japanese actress they would have had a chance to gain popularity and actually become successful. Scarlett Johansson is a very talented actress but part of the reason she was able to gain the success and fame that she has today because she had the opportunity to. If non-white actresses and actors were given that kind of opportunity there could have been a popular Japanese actress to play this part. @Richard Dodge @Chris Stuckmann
Speed racer was a guilty pleasure
Owen Krauss lol
Owen Krauss Not even good enough to be a guilty pleasure.
FancyLlamas
Owen Krauss thank you for having the same opinion as me
Owen Krauss Ranma! So rare I see people who know about Ranma 1/2 and how awesome it is.
Finally watched this movie... few years late. But the one thing that helped me swallow the scarlet jo playing motoko, was the ending realizing who she was and that her body isnt the representation of her. So her brain is Japanese but her body is white which is what Hanka created. Technically she’s still Japanese and it’s hanka who white washed. Dreaded seeing this movie (huge fan of source work) Was hugely surprised by this movie. To bad it did bad in the box office :/ a sequel would of been amazing!
Why take an actress who is not ready to go full nude? They should have taken a Japanese actress and for star power added some Hollywood actors. I also think the anime was deep so much philosophy deep thinking. With Scarlett caliber actress this should have been the case but unfortunate.
It is a niche movie and making it main stream screwed it.
The entire movie is designed by concept artists that do mostly anime/sci-fi scenes. I remember seeing artwork floating online of what might become the Ghost in the Shell movie and thinking yeah right, this will one of the scenes... Gtfo! But I was so surprised at how well the movie ended up being! Kudos to ScarJo for always taking chances!
You take that back Chris. Speedracer is a masterpiece.
Gaukur masterpiece lol
The movie is a masterpiece alright
A masterpiece of shit.
Gaukur I love speed racer
Yeah... Like, I can understand why someone who liked the Wachowskis from Bound or The Matrix had problems with Speed Racer, but in terms of making a live-action adaptation of an anime *aimed at ten year olds* it was extremely well-done. The visual storytelling alone was amazing, particularly in the opening sequence. Plus, Roger Allem is SUCH an amazingly slimy bad guy.
I remember loving the movie - especially for its visuals - and didn't really see any problems with it (I was younger of course), do you know why people who watched the original anime disliked it?
Just here for the "Did Chris grow up with Ghost in the Shell?" comments.
Did Chris grow up with Ghost in the Shell? There you don't gotta wait no more.
He grew up with Scarletts ass
It is refreshing to hear someone not completely destroy this film. I was introduced to GITS in the late 90's too, became a huge fan and watched it countless times. I really enjoyed this adaptation, not perfect, but a really great adaptation. It doesn't deserve the hate it gets.
Thanks for a measured, respectable review. I can't stand the BS reviews I've seen about this film. Mamoru Oshii the original creator of Ghost in the Shell actually helped cast Scarlet Johansnon!!! He gave his blessing!!! People make out like Hollywood fckng stole the IP then raped the shit out of it in dark castle in the woods somewhere. This movie rocked.
You don't realise the hate ,cause you have never seen the original.
@@phantomfire8228 I watched the original back in the day and fucking love it. It blew my mind.
Still don't understand the absolute hate for this movie. It's a good translation from anime to live action.
I believe that the movie would not have financial success in the West if they cast an Asian actor for the lead. An expensive undertaking for the studio..they had to at least recoup. Business, you know? Just reality. Great film though.
Hollywood is a different place, Japan is a different place. I see no reason why it's bad that you put a white person or a black 0erson as the mc. Honestly, if you don't see race, why anyone should care.
I'm an Asian, and I can't think of an Asian actress who could be a better fit for this role than Johansson ... I don't know... maybe the Japanese girls in the clip was right... this is an anime character... and she doesn't look Asian to begin with.
I do prefer the original without a back story for the character to add mystery and emphasis on the relation between lack of memory and question of identity.
Overall this adaptation is very entertaining and visually stunning although it is indeed a dumbed down version of the original. It answers more questions in the film while the original leaves more philosophical questions it raised unanswered. After all, this is a Hollywood blockbuster, so I guess that's understandable.
"I can't think of an Asian actress who could be a better fit for this role than Johansson"
you're right Rinko Kikuchi would have been awesome but no US studio would have spent so much money without an instantly recognizable name in the lead. that's the sad reality. but I still don't get why people are offended, that's just capitalism as usual.
Remember how Rinko Kikuchi had an insanely heavy accent? She can't speak English well enough to handle the leading role. I can only think of one who had a history of leading roles, and that would be Lucy Liu. Liu even starred in roles that weren't meant for Asian people (Charlie's Angels, Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever, Cypher. I never said they were good movies), but that might be because she was extremely attractive in her heyday of the early 2000's.
Matayas Ah the ever present "logic" of "No Asian actor is famous enough to sell this so we will give it to a
known white Actor. At the same time, we just continue the cycle of not casting Asian actors thus none of them will be considered famous enough in our and the world's eyes. We totally are logical, right? right?" Hahahaha!
I do understand that they did it for marketing blah blah, but seriously it's like saying "X people are not wise, so X people should not go to school ever"
We might have Disney to thank because Mulan will star Asian actors, so there's something.
I am a huge fan of "the grew up joke".
Carlos Chen i grew up with your comment
Finally someone else who liked this movie
Please someone tell me where I can find that shirt, is very nice.
Me too
eBay
Looks cool!
The movie was good? The movie was good?!?! Really?!?! YES!!! OMG!!!
Kitai105 good is relative. gorgeous visuals, soundtrack, and decent performances. however, the story, characters, and themes fall short or greatness. should've gotten a B or B-, but Chris is a fanboy so..
I WILL FUCKING TAKE IT! It's progress! Especially with the garbage we've had until now.
it wasn't for me. but i don't remember the anime, except 1 scene....and that part i loved.
"solid base hit" is more like a bunt for a hit. he didn't get an out, but it wasn't that bad
Chris was right. Some philosophical parts got dumbed down for the mainstream audience, but that doesn't make THIS film bad. Overall, it's still a good sci-fi film and adaptation.
Also, Japanese actors have more roles in this film than in every film released this year combined, so the controversy is beyond stupid.
kardez13 We care about your opinion why? The majority are liking it. Who gives a shit if you didn't like it.
That Japanese Man Yuta is a great channel for the insight of everyday Japanese citizens.
I loved how scarlett adapted the Cyborg walk !! Her walk was so satisfying to watch !!
I am mostly disappointed from most new movies that come out, but this one was so good, thought provoking, very similar to the anime and I have no idea why people give it low rating. The work put into it deserves much more appreciation!
I don't understand the hate this movie is getting I went into this movie not expecting much but came out of the movie very surprised
Me too.
Also, most reviews (e.g. on rotten tomatoes) seem to repeat the same tantra over and over again.
"This film has no soul... no ghost in this shell... bla bla bla"
RyeBreadFilmz well actually it really doesn't lol It's a cliche action flick with nice visuals and that's it
Same here, i went to not think about comparising the manga or anime..But such a rich fanservice there, and i had a great first IMAX Experience
People love to hate same oh she was breathing too much in the film just shut up and watch the damn movie.
RyeBreadFilmz it was 10x better than that disaster of a movie logan.
I fucking loved speed racer.
GONNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
talanock speed racer was my childhood
talanock THANK YOU. How dare he talk about speed racer in the same breath as dragon ball evolution.
I'm very happy that atleast somebody understood this film rather than just criticising on the basis of the lead actress's race. Props to you chris !
I wish I got to see it in theaters, I could have laughed at the people that sent me threats for being excited about it.
you didnt miss much. cuz there wasnt that many there. ergo BO fail.
I made sure I saw it twice in the theater. It was amazing, from the soundtrack, to the visual effects and the cinematrography!
@@jperryhal Damn, I'll try and see it if I get the chance. Glad to hear you enjoyed it!
@@ruhurtin4squrtin34 Damn, that sucks :/
@@Hemuset what sucks is gits 2017 & weebaboobs who r stupid 2 like it
Ok I stopped watching when he said "it's good", now I'm going to the theater
Fiction Maker He gave it an A-
Naufal Mahardhika I know. That's why I'm saying he gave it an A- haha
Wasn't the criticism that there aren't enough roles for asian american actresses?
Yeah, that's what I was thinking when he showed that clip of Japanese people reacting to the casting. Obviously, Japanese actors living in Japan have no shortage of roles for playing Asians, so it's no surprise that they don't have an issue with a white woman playing the major, but it's very different for Asian-Americans and other non-white actors living in the US.
KAGEHOSHI that is such a good explanation thank you so much. I'm so tired of white boys pointing at a single asian commentor or japanese creators saying it's okay as ""proof""
its still a stupid criticism. Americans are americans and thats about it. Pick the person who looks most like the role, and Scarlett fits perfectly
Claudia Blake if the Japanese are fine with it then is it really that big a deal
Claudia Blake / American movie.
Fuck the average ratings, this movie is a blast. Watch it now!
I have no clue of anime stuff, but this movie is the best sci-fi motion picture of 2017 so far.
And the music, OMG...Chris is spot on with his review.
I thought it was an awesome film. Definitely the best anime live action movie so far
Best American Manga adaptation is still Edge of Tomorrow
It was a Light novel first.
andi2578 Ruruoni Kenshin, actually
+TheNecromancer That ain't American
truth well said. too bad ghost in the shell 2017 was mediocre at best.
It is but I still hope it does well. I give it a lot of points for staying true to the look of the original because honestly that is a major aspect of manga of anime is the style. With the story they did dumb it down, but it wasn't as a dumb as I was dredding it to be. I hope this allows for more material of this type to be brought to wider audiences. I know a lot of anime fans like it being their own little thing, but the fact is, like comics, this is primed to explode into the mainstream western culture. There are too many genuinely great stories for it not to.
Am I the only one who's really love Speed Racer ? It's been 9 years already, and people still bashing about it !
No matter what, I'm still going to effing love that movie and it's the best Anime Hollywood faithful adaptation movie of all-time! Keep hate it, Chris !
And BTW, the new Ghost in the Shell movie is just FINE because of the breathtaking visual !
Mos ปฏิธาน I luv that's movie too
Welcome to the club, Susan.
ไม่น่าเชือ... มีคนไทยดูด้วย!??
inn - k ฮะ .... แฟนอิตา Chris สมัยแรกๆเลยครับผมเนี๊ย !
I'm glad I'm not the only one. I have loved Speed Racer for so long, I didn't even know that it was considered "bad" by other people. I have watched the source material, and I think the live action movie was an improvement.
Hi, one of my friends showed this video because I own the clip the you quoted. If you want to quote my video, please link back to the source. This will also help your reader to check the entire video to see the full context.
Chris Stuckmann has never replied to his comment section, so I'd advise tweeting it to him on twitter for this.
Which quote?
@@ThatGuy-ok3cm He used to, waaay in the past
i enjoyed this movie and thought i would deserve more love, but for me it wasn't brilliant as the anime. The main focused in this movie was the Major (Scarlett Jo) and her Identity. Who is she or was she. While the anime focused on the question what defines a human being, its more a philosophically abroach. And that is what makes the movie so special. Is it the body that makes a human being, his mind, or the fact that he is able to think and creates a concousness.
Hollywoods Ghost in the Shell's theme is a often used one. The main protagonist doesn't know about her/his past and then discovers who she/he was and questions her/his current standing.
I just saw it. The movie is great visually and the story was deep. The box office was not great, so I'm assuming there will not be another. That truly unfortunate for everyone like me that love this type of movie. I will buy the Blu Ray.
SJWs killed the movie
It's nothing compared to 1995 movie
@@ChopperSakura SJWs did nothing, CZcamsrs who saw the oportunity to make videos about a character been from a different race is what killed it. But I didn't see those same CZcamsrs talk about how The Edge of Tomorrow (The best Manga/Anime adaptation) change everything from race to age of the main character.
As someone who just watched a bit of it but didn’t finish it. I agree this movie’s visuals are great. But I don’t really see a need to watch it when the original exists, and I can just watch that.
@@punchforpound2808 I don't agree with that all, CG that was used here blended well with the story and I even adore the original.
It's amazing for an American adaptation, it's depressing that Alita and this both didn't make profit back
Rupert the director also made Snow White and the Huntsman. He's fantastic at visuals, but he sucks at Storytelling and Character development.
because we needed another Zach Snyder apparently
Arjac I understand why paramount had chosen him. If this movie gets a sequel Ridley Scott should direct.
Arjac yeah man, zack snyder has the same problem
SrElvisCocho yet WB still wanted him for Justice League. Hmm? Did they forget about BVS?
Elektra they already had lots of material of Justice League when bvs came out, thats why he's not directing Justice League 2 or any other DCU movies that we know about
Wow! Just watched the movie. I really liked it. It flowed well, some philosophy exposition to keep it interesting, a few twists to also make it interesting, and a CGI Landscape that was amazing. Great stuff! 👍👍👍👍
I couldn’t agree more. I think Ghost In The Shell is a fantastic adaptation. This and Alita: Battle Angel are fantastic films. While neither replace the originals (Battle Angel Alita… why the switch in the title?), both are a glimmer of hope for the future of anime films being made into live action movies.
Thumbs up if you didn't go to sleep yet cause you knew Chris would upload a video at 3 in the morning.
midnight here lol
7pm here
9:15 am here.
i legit, no meme, stopped watching porn to watch this
Cokemonster go for it
James Smith 😧🙃
grimwatcher i left that out for a reason
grimwatcher to be honest the main chick would make anyone fap even more.
James Smith that's a good point
I totally agree with Mr Stuckmann on this movie. It is excellent. Visually stunning, brilliant score/OST. Faithful to the original anime. I really don't understand all of the hate that this film got for casting a white woman (Scarlett Johanssen) as The Major. If these people that cast the hate they would see that their dissaproving finger wagging is totally unfounded. Once you watch this feature you get to see that original conciousness of Major is that of a Japanese girl that has died & her conciousness/spirit/ghost has been downloaded into a generic off the factory shelf SHELL ! It could just as easily be that of a Chinese or African or German body type or any other that people thath can afford to buy these machines as house servents or whatever, hell it even be carbon fibre. It makes no odds. The Major finds her bioligcal mother & she is a demure lonely Japanese woman. I really don't understand what the beef is here. Anyway regardless Scar Jo is awesome in this film.
They didn’t improve motoko in the live action. They took a different approach. The original 1995 version is a different style of videography and story telling all together.
The live action is more character centric putting more emphasis on motoko. This is clear in how she is always the centre of the frame and main focus of the camera in certain key scenes.
Whereas in the 1995 anime, the entire scene (background included) is the main focus, and motoko is shown as part of that scene.
For example the scene jumping off the roof. If u compare the live action and anime side by side u can see it clearly. In the anime, motoko is always positioned somewhere off centre following the rule of 2/3rds.
I wont say one is better than the other, but i do think this is reflective of western vs Japanese storytelling styles.
Personally i feel nothing comes close to the original anime which was PERFECT.
I was so impressed by this movie. It is like watching good art, and Scarlett Johansson is really good in the role.
yes! certainly a visual masterpiece, similar to blade runner
Spider-Man Noir it was shit. Lol. Compared to the Anime it should've killed itself.
I also was very impressed. We've had good female led movies this year. I just saw Atomic Blonde and came to see what Chris thought of them
*HOW DARE YOU! YOU WHITE SUPREMACIST 😡!*
JK 😜!
This is like someone saying that the COPY is better than the original, because they have never seen the real one before.
I really liked the Speed Racer movie. I thought it was a faithful adaptation, especially in regards to the tone of the film. it also had some fantastic racing scenes.
Now that I've seen the movie, it didn't bother me a lot. Truly the best Anime Adaptation we have.
I loved this movie because I am
such a fan of the anime. It has gotten way too much hate. Chris I agree with you critic of this amazing film.
all I know is, the creator of GitS said he didn't mind that she was cast because the Android body doesn't have a race, it's not a natural human body. Which is the same arguement I've been saying since day one. In THIS case I don't consider it whitewashing. So I'm glad to hear the movie did well of capturing the feel of the original as much as they could.
Thank you! Damn, I think I have to reply this same damn thing to these SJWs but they're not real fans.
If anything, Japanese audiences might have been more annoyed if they'd cast a Chinese actor to place a Japanese character than casting a Caucasian to play a Japanese character.
Kirk Darling Hahahaha! "Androids have no race but fuck you when you cast a Chinese actor" never heard of this "logic" before. LMAO
Knock around a few countries in Asia and ask the local opinions of other Asians.
Let's ignore that this movie had two Japanese characters whose bodies were put into white bodies and never once asks why this corporation chooses white bodies. Just admit that you find white people more attractive than asians, stop fucking pussyfooting around it. Be honest you dumb fucks.
Speed Racer was exactly like the dubbed anime. i do not understand why people dislike it.
Maybe that's exactly why people didn't like it...
jamel7781 One reason is because the acting sucked ass
OhWowWeWoo i'm saying... the source material's characters spoke like Bone Thugs N Harmony.
Come back and read other people's comments. Speed Racer has a bigger cult following than you probably realize.
jamel7781 because people love to bandwagon. I read the speed racer manga as an eight year old and saw the show as an eight year old and then I saw the movie, and it's exactly how a modern version of the speed racer story would have played out.
Unpopular opinion: This is one of the best movies of the year do far
Rui Wei Chang Best cartoon based movie since George of the Jungle.
That means you were only there for the visual effects and have no idea about Ghost in the Shell.
zam023 Weaboo
Rui Wei Chang never saw the anime I thought the movie was dope asf
Seems like the writers watched the anime, found some cool scenes to emulate, got the message the anime was going for completely backwards and decided to write this pile of crap. Pretty, but so completely dumb.
As far as Johansson is concerned.
The creator of Ghost In The Shell, publicly approved of her.
Yes, we know you've grown up with it, you grew up with everything
Lol I have started noticing this
it's not that hard when you spend most of your time reading books/watching television, playing video games ...
just make a list a of every important movie/tv show/game you grew up with ...
Taylor Bernard he watches a movie about the big bang says he group up with it
iamhughmun congrats you had one job and you fucked it up
Everyone grew up with a lot of things. What, did you grow up in a bubble?
Chris are you sure you aren't "phantom menacing" this movie since you grew up watching anime.
a
b
c
batman reacts Well Jeremy also liked Suicide Squad, sooooo .
Phantom menacing without a doubt
i've never heard of the anime/manga but the reason why i watched it is because it's cyberpunk and also scarlet was there
Scar jo looks just like the title character. She has that anime look to her, it matched well.
I don't know i find her hair is more like a Japanese women would have and that's why you may get the Asian look vibe other than that she looks nothing like the character I don't say she did bad but it's just like that
It's a foreign adaptation, so of course we Japanese expect the cast to be different. If we wanted a Japanese live action version, we would've done it ourselves (when a live action adaptation does happen in Japan, often the entire cast is Japanese, similarly to so-called white washing). This is more of an case of people on the internet being offended on behalf of somebody else while it never was an issue for them.
There's more practical problem with Motoko's casting; there is no Japanese actress who can do decent action and speak fluent English. You just can't hire a Japanese for this role.
No, directors can't just cast whoever they want. Casting Scarlet Johanson has nothing to do with miss representing a minority (it's not a minority when she's playing a Japanese character in Japan). It's simply got to do with star theory, which is basically that actors have a fan base and people will watch a film with a certain actor simply because they are a fan. Scarlet Johanson has a fan base and a lot of people don't know what Ghost in the Shell is (let alone understand and appreciate it). What I'm saying is that Johanson was cast to guarantee a certain audience will pay the price of admission as a trailer to some cyberpunk science fiction film with some unknown or lesser known actress wouldn't be appealing to as many people, while to many seeing a well known actress in the role (and trust me you do this too) will now have interest in watching the film based of the logic of "Scarlet Johanson, i like her films, maybe this film will be good".
totally agree since an asian dress in blonde and blue eye contact lens is playing edward elric
Omagari Toshi thank you dude, I like to look at it the same way as the Departed as a remake of Hong kings infernal affairs, so long as Johannson isn't supposed to be Japanese in the story (I.e Emma Stone in Aloha)
Omagari Toshi that's true but if Lucy Lu was casted she would be showing all her crazy moves...
Omagari Toshi I didn't know that you speak for Japanese actresses everywhere. W o w
Had to watch Stuckmann's review first, because I know he "grew up" with Ghost in the Shell.
i challenge this assertion. he never grew up, judging by this review.
His mother didn't let him watch GitS when he was young if I recall
Kinoksis his mother must be a real bitch.
7teenageSmokers I'd rather call her responsible, after all it's not a G rated movie
It's an exclusively American thing, this need to police the world. Fight for someone who doesn't want or need it.
come on.. every super power nation has their third world allies where they set up camp and help fight their wars for them..
*Spoilers* (if that's even a thing here) OK it's been years now, I remember watching Watchmen and leaving the cinema disgusted about the ending. I literally said to my friend “it feels like someone r***ed my dog“. But... After revisiting it I realised what they had to change to make it work on the screen and I ended up doing a full 180 and loved it. Ghost in the Shell however, I can't get past not making the antagonist an AI. That was the crux of the story, the blurred line between human and artificial. Seeing both characters reflections in each other from diametrically opposed starting points. It was what gave it existential breadth. The rest of the movie you talked about from effects, cinematography score etc. I agree with but I think taking altering the puppet master was just criminal and didn't leave the same questions. Why mix The puppet master and Kuze? It just kind of took it away from what I found the most interesting aspect of the original story. Of course that's just my opinion and that doesn't make it right. If you love it more power to you and I'm glad you liked it so much.
It's not bad in any sense of the word but my disappointment with the reveal and the more tied bow ending was. It is still a beautiful cinema experience.
Jeremy didn't like it much... is Chris Phantom Menacing???
I forget you can't use sarcasm on the internet. I was satarizing the people complaining that Chris pointed out legitimate problems that they were ignoring in Rogue One.
sivad parks Well, He doesn't really like this kinda movie.
sivad parks After watching the original (And it was fantastic), I feel like you'll need to understand the underlying themes and overall universe of Ghost in the Shell to appreciate this new film. Jeremy has his opinion and that's perfectly fine but I'm still excited to it
jeremy sees movies from a point of a average joe, he doesnt put much thought in the movies where movies like these should be making your mind work!
Collider and Schmoe didn't like it either. And basically 51% of the critics out there if you want to count Rotten Tomatoes meter, let see...hmm
Yup Chris is "Phantom Menacing" cause he is I-grew-up-with-anime.
I just got back from seeing the movie and I enjoyed it. I think a good chunk of the critics who are bashing it are exactly like the ones who bashed Iron Fist, just a bunch of racists judging people by the color of their skin.
This movie is a perfect example of how weebs and people obsessed with finding racism everywhere, try to destroy good films.
It was good people. I am a big fan of the anime series.
OneShallStandOneShallFall This movie was great im tempted to call it Masterpiece, the complaining of people that they couldnt connect with the Character is what makes it perfect, because she is a Cyborg. Hope that future never comes.
I loved that this movie was different from the original in so many ways! I don't understand why GITS fans trash this movie. It made me look at what Oshii told in the original from a different perspective, which is what I think Oshii would want a remake of his film to be.
I kinda liked this movie even more than the anime version because the movie focuses more on Major as a character, I missed that part in the anime.
But I think the movie blew it at the end.
As for casting, it was great. Only petty assholes keep complaining about them.
if GITS fans trash this movie.... then they are not fans.
and like JAL90, i like this movie way better then the original anime version. and I love teh fuck of that movie. I saw it almost 300 times on my vhs. I am a fan.... This movie was good. everyone is trying to make it look bad. Assholes who start offensive if one person likes this movie.
Fuck YOU!!!!
The Dive, was probably the best scene for me.
+Jennings Collins I am a fan of the GITS anime, and I thought the movie was excellent.
What amazed me Chris is that your review of this movie was the sixth review we watched on CZcams. The previous 5 reviews had us depressed and despondent. I was ready to not go to the film at all. But then we watched yours. After watching your review we watched no others. After seeing the movie i appreciated your review even more. I do not understand what the other reviewers were talking about. It's like they saw a different movie. A- works for me. This is a great movie.
You kind of answer your own question about Hollywood not adopting more Anime...
We would quickly realize Hollywood plagiarized many Anime without giving credit to the original
Call me crazy, but I actually liked Speed Racer... FIGHT ME! LMAO
Novablast55 same, it's fun dumb movie
Yep. Sure it was different and had a few slow bits but the
characters had a lot of emotional pull and the movie was crazy, silly
and fantastical just like the show was in the 50's.
idc what anyone says too, the Wachowski Speed Racer was dooope!
"Speed Racer" isn't for everyone, but I agree. I actually really like the movie as well.
While I can be a huge advocate of having good acting and stories in movies, there are times I get swept up by the colorful landscapes, action and the theme that I can bypass that critiques and have fun with a movie.
Sometimes I don't want to watch a "Godfather" level movie. Sometimes, I just want to enjoy an "Armageddon" level movie.
Finally someone else that loved the movie. Feel like I'm taking crazy pills. Was it perfect? No, but it was still really good.
Hud dy I loved it too, but I wish they focused jus a little more on the team too, especially togusa, hes my fav besides batou
And Togusa always uses his revolver. They got it wrong in the movie.
Huddy : What score would you give it? I didn’t know the source material. I loved the movie, and my only criticism was that it wasn’t violent enough. Not for the sake of it, but the bone crunching assaults and the shootouts kept leaving me feeling like they’d bent over backwards to avoid letting us see any blood, for the sake of the certificate? And, this review should have mentioned Michael Pitt’s brilliantly ambivalent performance, don’t you think? His voice, movement, everything about him, as the antagonist, goes from dark, brooding and sinister, when we meet him, to little boy lost and rather a sympathetic figure by the end. I had no idea that Pit was even capable of such a nuanced performance! More blood, and it would have been an, “A+”, for me. That’s why I just give it an, “A.”
Huddy I agree. It was just missing the deep ideas of ghost in the shell but I agree with him it was good and had a blast watching it in the movies
Huddy I agree. It was just missing the deep ideas of ghost in the shell but I agree with him it was good and had a blast watching it in the movies
Several scenes in this film are exact in visual comparison to the original Ghost in the Shell (1995). Some parts shown in the city are even exact re-creations of the original artwork.
Scarlett Johansson does not wear a wig in this film, her own hair was dyed black with blue tips.
The body suit that Scarlett Johansson wears in the film as Major's synthetic body, known as the Thermosuit, is made out of silicone.
The lights that seem to glow from the Geisha's robes were accomplished by lining the collars of the kimonos with LED lights.
Here is something most people overlook. The Major in the original flim and show was actually a European model! She was built on that model for the simple fact that it was the cheapest there by the most common model used so she could blend in better in the areas she was to work in. if you notice in the original movie there are several background character that look almost exactly like her.
Go to see the movie. Don't let the prejudice ruin a good movie. Give it a chance. I like it.
You should do an analysis video for this. it's getting hate for some reason.
It's a bad movie, never mind the bad casting, the story is just not great. It's a hard thing to take a well know anime or maga and do it any justice in live action form, I will say it looks stunning though.
Hiroko Takashiro yea it's decent but not as good as he's making it out to be
it is a shit movie that goes against everything the original stood for
It is an american film for american people. Sorry if your filmmakers and studios think that you (regular american people) are idiots and can't understand less commom stories. And of course changing the final act of the movie they already set a nort american continuation, but it would be nothing like the Ghost In The Shell 2 Inocence, cause they need Scarlet to star this thing and made a lot of money.
But aside the plot it is a quite good flick, and they took entire action sequences from the original one. What kinda make this a poor stuff, cause the better stuff is the stuff from the animation. Anywais way better than I've expected to be and probably the better live action north american adaptation that I saw from a classical anime.
I just watched this, I must say it far surpassed my expectations. I loved it.
Scarlet looked so similar to Major, race didn't matter
Hi Chris, did you realize: Major's new name is Mira Killian, and as Dr. Ouelet said: Her existence is a "miracle". Get it? M I R A K I L (Lian). She is a M I R A C L E. I wonder if this pun was intended.
Oh god that's so corny (but nicely done on spotting it)
@Pinkaugust "mirai" is "future", not "mira"
That's so stupid that it might be true
It's 3:20 in the morning.
I see this review on my phone.
I click.
I had no issue with the visuals, or even the casting. Those were fine and dandy. But the story, and changes to the characters' backgrounds was just so unnecessary. I will never understand why movie adaptations seek to reinvent something that already worked.
Honestly, my biggest complaint was that they put on of the best scores of the movie in the end credits. It was the remake of the opening song in the original movie. It should have been played at the beginning of the movie when they were creating her.
But other than that, I actually really like the movie :)
