Ghost in the Shell (2017)
Literal White-Washing
31 March 2017 - 12 out of 26 users found this review helpful.
I didn't go into this movie with the highest of expectations, given how legendary the anime's are, and I was proved correct. All the characters seem bored to be there. The first animated movie was cut up and rearranged into an unimaginative and by the books plot with hardly any philosophy or anything else of what made the movies or TV shows unique. The worst/hilarious part of the movie was the literal white-washing of Motoko Kusanagi. As in, they took an Asian woman and put her into a white woman's cyborg body. They didn't use any of the other characters except to show that they existed. Overall, don't see this movie is you're a fan of the original or are in any way against white-washing. Not worth you're time.
