Review of Ghost in the Shell (2017) by Kissxsis805 — 14 Jul 2017

This a bit more than a review but more of a oversight. I Thought the movie was great. I don't understand how people can think the movie is whitewashed. The Major was originally Japanese before her accident, which the movie even addressed.

The Major chose her shell and her shell is caucasian. I'm very sorry to tell the people who know nothing about GITS, but her shell is actually white... I thought the plot was great and even the scenes recreated from the anime were great.

The acting was great as well. The Major does lack emotion in the Anime and that is also portrayed a lot in the movie. The original creator was on board with the adaptation and even Scarlett as the lead role.

It would have been against the source material if a Japanese actor played as her shell. Either way, the movie was great. The Japanese people loved it so why can't all these Americans??? My advice is go watch the movie yourself and DON'T LET ANYBODY change your opinion about it and don't be a follower like everyone else who most likely haven't even watched the originals or read it.
