Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex - Solid State Society · review
This is my first real look at the franchise that is now getting it’s own live action movie. I wanted to see what the hype about this series is and it certainly has piqued my interest. It gives me a Psycho Pass vibe and I’m curious as to how everything in this world plays out. I don’t think this will ever be a favorite series of mine but it certainly is interesting. This movie talks about the all to real problem of an accelerating elderly population with their low birth rate in Japan. As well as some character’s thoughts on “other races”. This ideaof superiority that came with having a homogenous society.
The movie dealt with real life problems and situations in our modern day world. Hopefully, that runs throughout the whole series.
It also asks the question, how close is the line between man and machine? When does one begin and the other end when we create AI’s that become more human while we become more like machines.
It asks a lot of philosophical questions, which make me excited to see what other questions this series has planned and if their will only ever be questions with no real answers.
