First of all, I didnt know it was a movie adapted from a Japanese manga, I thought it was a science fiction with a Japanese society background.
Somehow after realized it was based on a Japanese manga, i was also thrilled that they chosen Scarlett Johansson as the lead.
Well, I guess i can take it as the japanese lady was caught and being tranformed to into a mechanical body with a white people appearance then.
Indeed Bean gone for Scarlett and I was just a company hehe.
But, the movie was beyond my expectation, i thought i would fell asleep because i am not a sci-fic fan.
However, Scarlett's performance was too attractive and i couldnt take my eye off for her lol
Overall, the story plot was not bad, although it was about the memory lost, and losing identity, but it never really turned into a revenge story.
Perhap i was not a fan of the original manga, and have no any idea about the storyline, so i was quite happy with the movie.
Of cause, there were something not perfect with the visual effect or there are something unexplainable, but you know, it was a sci-fic, and also just a movie after all.
For myself, i quite enjoy this 106 minutes in the dark space, with watching how beautiful Scarlett Johansson is, lol/
I am actually not her fan, but somehow always attracted by her look and amused by her voice.
Maybe just like Johnny Depp, I am bias towards Scarlet too, I think most movie with Scarlett in was not bad.
Back to the movie, i am not going to comment on the fighting scene, i think the effect was good enough.
The story was rather expected, although i got goosebump because i never knew it was based on a Japanese manga, the moment Scarlett went to her biological mother, who was a Japanese lady who lost her daughter somehow made me wonder....
After the hidden revealed, i was happy for Major (Scarlett), at least she found what she had lost, i guess because it was an action based movie, so there is not much scene described how Major accepting the truth that she was being kidnapped and abducted then placed into a shell. I was expection more emotional action after she found out this cruel truth, but there were not much follow up in the movie.
I guess there are more things and stories to tell, Kuze (another shell) said that he lost something and he wanna find out, that's how made him into all the revenges, killing innocents, but Major was different, she think memories did not define who she is, and she never allow herself to become a killing machine, she is well aware what she going and want to do. Since the begining of the movie, she already took action against the Chief of Section 9.
Since the begining, like what the villian in this movie said, she was uncontrollable, and thanks to the scientist who created her has a good heart to reveal the truth and sacrified for Major.
But Scarlett, as the major, is uncontrollable in the way that she will fight for justice, and she believe this is why she was built to become - not the memory, not the past defining who she is, but what she doing define who she is =)
This is also the important msg i learnt from the movie, let the memories to be burried with the past, but remember how far u come, and what u doing now define who you are now.
No matter how successful you were or how awful you were in the old days, that's already past. But what you doing now, will define you.
So enjoy the moment you are doing every single thing, and remember your action, define who you are =)
And i must confess i really like Takeshi Kitano who cast for the role - Aramaki, the chief of Section 9, he was too charming in the movie, i was so scared if his life would be taken, but he was too cool to die you know, lol
