Alas, that movie was also disappointing, but hell, it still had more of a plot than this! And of course, it didn’t have the grab bag of quotations to try to fool the audience into thinking there was a deeper meaning. That’s one reason why I was so excited to see the original Ghost in the Shell movie. I am fascinated with the idea of human minds being put into machine bodies, or people hacking others’ minds, etc. What sucks is that cyborgs are my favorite topic of all time, just ask anyone who has seen my tattoos. Except the one brief interjection of something frail and weak (poor excuse for a story), nothing to see here. The concept of beating a dead horse must not exist for Mamoro Oshii, that’s my only guess.Īnyways, zero plot. Quite frankly, I could have picked up a poetry book and read random pages and it would have been as applicable as all the quoting nonsense in this film. Honestly, if you watch this, probably the best way would be without any sort of subtitles, since they are essentially useless and do nothing except make you want to smash your TV/Monitor/Movie screen in with a hammer, shove ham sandwiches inside the broken vessel and then pee on it out of sheer 'OH MY GOD NOT ANOTHER QUOTE' spasms. I’m sorry, I don’t buy it, and it made me incredibly bored and weary. besides being a complete fanboy film, it tries to insert 8 million quotes from poems in a row, in an attempt to make you guess at some sort of philosophical theme going on.

That’s part of the problem with this movie. And I swear to god, if I have to read one more goddamn quote from a poem or famous philosopher, I am going to shoot myself in the head. Until the last 5 minutes of the movie, we see almost zero in the way of plot, at all.

In the beginning, you have a faint glimmer of hope that a plot exists â€“ the robots are killing people, and Section 9 needs to find out why. To be honest, I was fairly disappointed with how completely lacking the plot was.

It wasn’t supposed to make you ooh and aah at the character development, or get involved in the storyline it was made for the visuals, signed, sealed, and delivered. Let’s face it folks, this movie wasn’t made to challenge your mind or open your horizons to anything.

StoryStory? What story? Although there is a thinly veiled plot that admittedly does have a bit of a twist, Innocence is essentially devoid of ANY sort of plot at all.
