| Based
on a popular novel by best-selling writer, Mori Hiroshi, GHOST IN THE
SHELL auteur Mamoru Oshii's soaringly beautiful animated film is set in
an alternate world where global peace is finally attained yet wars prevail
as a kind of spectacular show. Private war contractors enlist young fighter
pilots called "Kildren" to perform their services in an endless
"war as entertainment." Innocent-looking teenagers in appearance,
Kildren never grow into aduthood, and live in a state of eternal adolescence
until the day they drift gracefully through the endless skies. One day,
pilot Yuichi Kannami arrives to his newly assigned airbase. He has only
vague memory of his past. The only two things he recalls are that he is
a kildren and how to operate a fighter plane. Suito Kusanagi, the base
commander, is keeping an eye on Yuichi. A Kildren herself, Suito behaves
as is she's been waiting to meet Yuichi for a long time. Perplexed, Yuichi
is nevertheless gradually attracted by her. All pilots at th ebase have
to confront the most invincible enemy ace, known as Teacher. His trademark
is a black jaguar painted on the nose of his plane. It is said that if
you run into him up in the sky, you don't come back to tellyour friends.
Who really is the Teacher? What does Suito Know about Yuichi's past? What
are the secret behind the Kildren? |
