![]() The 2004 sequel Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence, which was also directed by Oshii, continues and further expands on the themes introduced in the first movie. With its metaphysical explorations of what it means to be a human once most of the biological output has been digitalized and cyborg-fied, the movie investigated the dichotomies at the core of the human being and of its uncanny relationship with technology, of how both human and machine become intertwined through a mechanic process of quasi-transmogrification. More than a quarter of a century after its premiere, Mamoru Oshii’s movie Ghost in the Shell (1995) based on Masamune Shirow’s eponymous manga, remains a classic of the science-fiction and (post)cyberpunk genres.
