This is not the live action, but this theme is really interesting, so I chose this as a topic. Ghost in the Shell is the Animation movie which is directed by the Sci-Fi and Mech animator Mamoru Oshii. The setting is the future world that almost all human had an implant in order to improve the work efficiency. For example, Police and Military personnel has implanted eye that has integrated HUD like Google glasses, or office workers has a hand that can transform into more than 30 fingers to type quicker. And the main character Motoko Kusanagi actually IS a Full-Cyborg (except her brain). In this world, everything, even somebody’s memory, is accessible from external force because they are all connected to the huge internet systems. Characters sometimes even do not speak and send their messages to the other member directly. Because of those super high technologies, that world improved a lot because the work efficiency improved so much. However, there are some issues occurred because they rely on technologies too much. As I said, in this movie, somebody’s memory is accessible from outside, so sometimes hackers can replace somebody’s memory in order to use them as a part of their plot. Also the heroin Motoko struggled about her identity because she is full-cyborg-ed woman soldier. Because people can replace and change where their memories are stored from brain to the other platforms, this animations also argues about the basic question, “what is human?”. The technology may improve the efficiency, and makes human lives more comvinient, but it is possible that those technology will cause the other problems about the mental or psychological identities of human.
wait a sec… there is something strange on my post… some letters went crazy.
