Scarlett Johansson's Ghost in the Shell has gone on to be one of Hollywood's most infamous remakes, but is it as bad as people remember it to be?
Ghost in the Shell, released in 2017, has gone on to become one of Hollywood’s most infamous cinematic remakes. Plagued by controversy and lackluster reviews, this Scarlett Johansson-led film grossed $169.8 million against a budget of $110 million, making it one of the biggest box-office disappointments in recent history.
Recommended Videos The plot is more reflective than active With every remake, there are bound to be some creative differences from the source material. With Ghost in the Shell, the remake removes many of the original’s philosophical musings for a greater emphasis on fast-paced action . However, this approach kills two birds with one stone, as the anime moves at a more steady pace, allowing the audience to take in the gorgeous and intricate world presented to them.
I’ll admit it: the worldbuilding in the remake is impressive The remake does a terrific job recreating some of the anime’s iconic scenes, including the Major’s opening dive, her invisible fight on the water, the scub- diving scene, and her battle with the spider tank. It also adds some Blade Runner-esque holograms to liven up the city.
The whitewashing controversy still stings Though Johansson does bear a striking resemblance to the Major in this remake , the fact that a white actor played an East Asian character received quite a lot of backlash. It didn’t help that the film ends with the revelation that the Major was born a Japanese girl with the character’s original manga name, Motoko Kusanagi.
