Much better than the first. LOVE the glass mansion, which completely confused me at first, but turned out to be completely in tune with the film's message.
I don't think the quotes are pretentious at all. In fact, this is a rare film that deserves multiple viewings. Much deeper than films of similar topics such as A.I. |
Originally posted by RocShemp I understand what you're saying, BizRodian, but "OMG!!! NAKED ANIME BABE SHOOITNG STUFF OMG!!! SHE BLEW Up His heADD!!!!" is not the reason I watched the first. I heard it was deep and philosophical but found what philosophy was there was rather shallow. And I watched it quite a few times hoping I missed something but all I got was visual spectacle and little more. Never felt like watching it again. But, based on what sundog and others have had to say about the sequel, I'm really looking foward to giving it a shot. I always felt that the visuals in the story, were not mearly visuals, but a way of telling the story. The story is told in pictures and creating mood, as much as an actual plot is. The main "case" in both movies are total B stories that aren't what the film is about. But if it's not your thing, it's not your thing. I'd say the second film might be more easily accessable, if you're looking for what I think you are. However, that might just be because I've become so much more well versed with Oshii (as well as GITS in general I guess) since then, that I just personally find it easier to get the first time around. |
