As sequels are meant to do, Innocence gives you more. If you want more action, more violence, more sexy robots… you’re gonna be disappointed.

Innocence is...

More poetry,
More spirituality,
More philosophy.

Mamoru Oshii is a true artist. We all know that. As a true artist he didn’t make any compromises with his new movie. Ghost in the Shell was a big hit. It would have been easy to make much more money with the sequel (just think about the merchandising). But... Mamoru Oshii doesn’t care. Innocence is not as easily accessible to a big audience as Ghost in the shell. After a very good opening sequence, the first part of the film is closer to a classic “Film Noir” than to a big SCI-FI movie. A lot of the action takes place in a car (who also looks taken from “the Maltese falcon”) where we follow the two main characters. No big settings. Few action. Lots of talking and , because you have seen GITS, important silences. Even if the narration of Innocence is different from GITS, it’s still have some connection with it like the opening credits (the construction of a robot), a small clip about the city at the middle of the movie (this time it’s about a Chinese parade. I didn’t see anything so beautiful on a big screen for a long time) and of course the music of Kenji Kawai (small deception for me as his new score is more a variation of GITS than a truly new one). If I had to think Innocence as a sequel, I would rather see it as a sequel to Blade Runner than to GITS. Innocence has a lot in common with the movie of Ridley Scott. We cannot see the fighting women dolls/robots without thinking of Pris (Daryl Hannah) and the main character living alone in his apartment with his dog is really close to Deckard (and of course all the classic “Film Noir” part of the movie bring a “Blade Runner” atmosphere). I didn’t understand all the movie (my Japanese is far from being perfect!) but even my Japanese friends didn’t ! They want to see it a second time to understand all the philosophical aspect. This tells you how deep Innocence is going. Innocence is a movie from Mamoru Oshii. And no one else. It’s his movie, his work of art. So he goes in surprising directions. As a result, Innocence is more than an anime. It’s an experience. Mamoru Oshii doesn’t care to loose the audience and the audience doesn’t care to be lost because even if so, it’s a wonderful trip.

Vai tad tiek kaut kur jau raadiits?

Japana tikko notika pirmizrade. Tas dzeks, kurs uzrakstija samo review, cik nopratu no orginala raksta (var aplukot - links raksta beigas) - parcelies nesen uz japanu.

Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence likās kaut kāds pagarlaicīgs, jo ļoti lēni tur kaut kas notika. Pusstundu kaut ko runā ļoti lēni, tāpat tos subtitrus nevar paspēt izlasīt dažreiz pēc tam pusstundu leni kaut kur iet.... Tad tam sižetam es mazāk pievērsu uzmanību, bet izbaudīju vizuāli šo anime. Skaista grafika un laba mūzika.

Kad es noskatiijos pirmo dalju tad domaaju ka otraa buus kkas praatam neaptverami labs, bet.. ne nu uzziimeets bij labi bet nebija ekshna kas bija pirmajaa daljaa un tas mazliet nepatika, bet tomeer laimiigas beigas..

I love happy endings..

piekriitu Hikaru... es no garlaiciibas pat iemigu kaut kur ... un taa vairaakas reizes... bet happy-ending tomeer nenoguleeju. grafika izskatiijas laba, bet man kaut kaa ne iipashi patiik izstieptas filmas - uz taam gribaas guleet

Es neteiktu, ka filma bij izstiepta, man šķita, ka sižets ir pat ļoti labs un diezgan labi tika virzīts uz priekšu, bet nu katram savs, es, kā nekā, esmu šāda veida detektīvtrilleru cienītājs.

laikam tāpēc man tā patika, hehe.

domāju, lielai daļai vajadzētu zināt 2001, kura nu ir ļoti izstiepta, bet es kaifoju, un, nedaudz jau mazāk varētu zināt Once Upon A Time In The West, kura arī ir izstiepta, par kuru arī kaifoju

kino, pirmām kārtām, jau ir vizuālais. lielākā daļa succesful režisoru ir tie, kuri spēj fantazēt un "iedzīvināt" savu fantāziju pietiekami precīzi filmas "miesā", lielu uzmanību pievēršot detaļām.
otrs road to success ir asociatīvo tēlu radīšana kurus tad nu skatītājs katrs var pats sev piemērīt - un režisors kļūst par savdabīgu virtuālo "drēbnieku".

Man skaidri jaasaka ka shis man nepatika(1. filma labaaka, nezinu, laikam tapeec ka tur nav tik "perfekta animaacija" ) shii filma prieksh manis ir paaraak "Pieaugushiemiiga"(luudzu neprasiet ko shis vaards noziime ) un dziljdomiiga...
