Throughout the
entire course we have seen different types of technology, android, artificial intelligence
and cyborgs that represent the cyberpunk genre. In general all of the film we
watch have three things in common, the government and corporations have the
power (men’s), the robots are seen has the subordinated class and the seek to
know whether they have a soul. The film Ghost in the Shell is no different than
the rest of film we’ve seen. I see a lot of resemblance in this film with the
film Ex Machina, they both create cyborg, android or A.I with human
characteristic and is this case women. They
project women as an object of seduction and pleasure to satisfied their needs
and to help them seduce other people as we see in Metropolis. In Ghost in the
Shell, Ex Machina and Robocop we see this internal search of whether or not they
have a mind of their own. What makes them different than the humans? if they physically
look a alike but underneath that artificial skin is all metal, that is why in
the movie They Live the people did not know they live among aliens. All of this
movie address the issue of Why were they created? To clean the humans mess? In
Ghost in the Shell we see a lot of technological gadget as
we see in Blade Runner and Johnny Mnemonic, but in these films having technological
implants represent a risk for them in the society.
