GHOST IN THE SHELL 2 - THE ATTACK OF THE CYBORGS

From the introspective search for ever more urgent universal answers to a detective noir and strong colors: the sequel to "Ghost in the Shell 2.0"will capture the attention of filmmakers with the thirst for Japanese manga, for the refinement of the quotes, hypnotic music and above all a compelling plot of which not a single detail can be missed. In" Ghost in the Shell: Innocence ", Mamoru Oshii continues to steal ideas from the manga of Masamune Shirow, starting the plot of the film from the sixth chapter of the original. In reality, if the start resumes "Robot Tondo , the story sprouts in the mind of the director, who tries to unravel the answer to the question: "what is the difference between the human soul and an automaton with a soul" through the events of the two protagonists and ferocious killer genoids.

Three years divide the present of New Port City, from the death of Marshal Motoko Kusanagi, we are in 2032 and the city is increasingly invaded by cyborgs, who have only a few human elements and robots left. Pure human beings can count themselves. If Marshal Motoko Kusanagi remains one of the targets of the men of the government, interested in possessing all the data contained in the mind of the cyborg, the operations team of section 9 of the police continues to deal with the computer malfunctions of the automata and above all with the hacking on cyborgs . The protagonist is Batou, a cyborg whose body now only counts many well-assembled titanium pieces: as he himself states in the film, he has only a small portion of his brain left in which the memory of a woman named Motoko Kusanagi is contained , and the soul. To support Batou a young conscript, Togusa, perhaps the most human of the feature film.

The two protagonists are entrusted with the investigation of a company, Locus Solus, a manufacturer of cyborg dolls, which are often used to satisfy the sexual pleasures of their owners. The genoid dolls, which faithfully reproduce the bodies of young women, have committed 8 murders, prompting the police to set their sights on the industrial giant.

Much of the film unravels revealing the behaviors and thoughts of the human soul through the dialogues between the two protagonists, in search of the truth hidden behind the murderous genoids; technological and philosophical dialogues together, which combine advanced knowledge of cybernetic reality with the thoughts, among others, of Confucius and Descartes. The discovery of the truth is very bitter: to make the genoids more desirable, the company used illegal software, which starting from a human soul, reproduces several copies, then destroying the original. The human souls were procured to the colossus by the Yakuza, who kidnapped girls in flesh and blood selling them to the Lotus Solus who stole their soul to insert it into the genoids. These, endowed with soul, had carried out the 8 murders and then self-destructed for the sole purpose of attracting the attention of the police and public opinion to what was happening.

The voluntary tampering of the genoids, and their final self-destruction underlines how much the soul of the young girls was unable to accept this condition of sexual exploitation. Where is the soul, life pulsates, and when the machines begin to feel and become aware of good and evil, who will be able to establish the boundaries of the human?

The story of the movie "Ghost in the Shell 2 - The Cyborg Attack" is set in Tokyo in the year 2032, where telematic networks control all economic and production mechanisms, software creators are one of the indispensable resources of the big world powers, and Cyber ​​Hackers represent the powerful arm of the great criminal organizations, which have adapted to the digital revolution that has invaded the world. Cyborgs have become so sophisticated that they are indistinguishable from humans. In turn, human beings are also composed of mechanical parts, where they can even make their souls live inside mechanical bodies. While men have lost their total humanity, some cyborgs have identity conflicts, because they really want to feel like men. One of these is Batou, a cyborg detective of the government unit Public Security Section 9, who together with Major Motoko Kusanagi (a former police cyborg with superpowers), investigates the case of a gynoid, a female cyborg created for sexual purposes, that due to a "failure" inside, he massacred his owner and then blew himself up. During his investigation Batou will face violent Yakuza criminals, corrupt bureaucrats, evil hackers and various criminal associations. Batou and Matoko locate the doll's production site, inside a boat and here they will have to face an army of robots. At the end of the battle, the two cyborgs discover a chilling truth. From this we will deduce why humans want to make their image immortal within cyborgs. This leads Batou to reflect on his essence and the only human memory that remains to him, located in a dark corner of his artificial brain: a woman called The Major.

The film is based on the hugely successful cyberpunk manga comic of the same name, written by Masamune Shirow, which makes graphic impact its greatest strength. Both the themes and the high-quality noir scenes are certainly recommended for an adult audience, where you can catch various references to cult films such as Blade Runner and The Matrix.
