Review of Ghost in the Shell (2017) by Benjamin S — 20 Jul 2018
Visually stunning and an amazing plot. I finally got around to seeing this movie after avoiding it for over a year. I wanted to avoid it after I had heard about how bad the movie was and how this movie cast a white actor in as an Asian for the main role.
I have to say that the casting is not bad and it is understandable to have cast Scarlett Johansson since The Major is full cyborg and could really look like anything. I was surprised to see that Togusa was not played by a white actor since he and Batou always seemed like the most American characters.
I also wanted to see the chief's beard but that is not important. When the credits started and the intro to the 1995 movie started to play I actually smiled to myself which is rare. Batou's eyes are too small.
