Ghost in the Shell Movie 2 InnocenceGenre: Science Fiction / Action / Cyberpunk (Age Rating 16+) Availability : Stocking Item - Usually Ships Within 24-48 Hours Unless Backordered The heavily cyborged police officer Batou, newly partnered with the mostly-human Togusa after the diappearance of Major Motoko Kusanagi, is assigned to investigate a series of murders committed by prototype "sexaroids" - female androids created for sex. Mamoru Oshii's landmark Ghost in the Shell (1995) largely defined the cyberpunk genre and influenced the Matrix films in the U.S. The long-awaited sequel continues the adventures of Batou, Major Kusanagi's former assistant, who was left behind when she disappeared into the cyber-realm of the Net. With his new human partner, Togusa, Batou investigates a series of bloody murders involving gynoids, robots with sexual functions. The case leads them to the headquarters of the Locus Solus company, where Batou uncovers the evil secret behind the creation of the gynoids. Innocence includes some staggeringly beautiful CG images, especially a parade depicting characters from Chinese mythology. Oshii contrasts this glittering beauty with a Blade Runner-esque dystopia. Bilingual Version: Special Features: English & Japanese 5.1 Audio, Making of Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence, Director's Commentary Music Video: From DreamWorks’ Pictures "Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence" comes the stunningly gorgeous collection of animated music videos from Production I.G. (Kill Bill) presented in anamorphic widescreen and multi-channel surround sound. This DVD is considered as another version of "Innocence" thanks to its wonderful fusion between the deep and grandiose visuals of Mamoru Oshii and the creative sounds by Kenji Kawaii that imparts the heart and soul to its beautiful imagery. Limited Edition Includes Collector’s Embossed Case and is the Original Sound Track collaboration between Kenji Kawai and Mamoru Oshii. The mesh between the two materializes in a form far beyond our imagination. From painstakingly building a physical master of a music box and recording the sound in a frozen cavern, to bringing over 70 folk singers into a concert hall, great lengths have been taken to create these beautiful soundtracks from the movie "Ghost in the Shell 2 – Innocence". |
