the rum soaked fist: internal martial arts forum

Overlord,
Yes you are right the correct nipples are crucial to the plot of this movie.
Other than that, what irks me equally was that the movie script writer, producer and director
Did not really understand the Japanese way of storytelling and thus did not really understand
The essential core of GITS.

In my humble view, GITS is a love story.

Who’s love to whom?
Project 2501’s love for the Major.
One who became sentient from the vast ocean of information; who has no corporeal body but
Has no doubt about his being and his purpose.
Contrasting this to the other, who has a corporeal body, but doubting her own existence and being.

Hey Project 2501, you got the hots for the Iron Major, yes?
Yeah, ooohhhh so hot
You wanna have sex with her right?
Yes in my own way
Then you want to leave her right?
No you do not understand, as a sentient being my urge to pro-create is so strong
That in doing so I shall destroy myself and I would no longer exist
My programming together with the Major’s would merge to create a new better entity
Because we are different, yet so much alike

In the end the Major did not refuse


Reincarnation

A ga maeba, kuwashime yoinikeri
Because I had danced, the beautiful lady was enchanted
A ga maeba, terutsuki toyomunari
Because I had danced, the shining moon echoed

Yobai ni, kami amakudarite
Proposing marriage, the god shall descend
Yo wa ake, nuedori naku
The night clears away and the chimera bird will sing
