Cinematic Threads

The Wachowskis showed Ghost in the Shell to producer Joel Silver and said: we want to do that for real. Mamoru Oshii's anime became the template for the Matrix's visual philosophy — the merging of biological and digital, the question of consciousness in mechanical systems. They then hired legendary Hong Kong choreographer Yuen Woo-ping to ground it in physical reality. The result is world cinema DNA running through American blockbuster. Ghost in the Shell is on MUBI.
