#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I doubt anyone has been indoctrinated in any way. It's just the way the world works. Diversity and cultural integration hasn't worked to the extent that we don't prefer out own group or entertainment aimed at that group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brónach 1,302 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 But the Hollywood case is funny cause they're white 'cause they're immigrants. You and I have a different perspective. To be honest, the intersection of race and gender in American movies isn't exactly my fight, besides me feeling constantly annoyed as a viewer of their stuff by the unnecesary dumbing down of things. But I recommend the 1995 movie and its score. We'll dislike the score for this one anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt C 454 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I get the complaints people are throwing at this film (as well as Doctor Strange with Tilda Swinton playing The Ancient One), but this wouldn't be made if they couldn't get a big name to star. Johansson has several big action blockbusters under her belt; there's no Asian actress with the clout that she has. And ScarJo isn't an actress that takes every project offered. She takes on projects that interest her, whether they're small indie pics or big budget tentpoles. I guess when her agent called her with the offer, she watched the 1995 film and/or series, liked it and thought they could do something different in live-action.

I was certainly convinced of her chops by wonderful performances in Lost in Translation, Girl With a Pearl Earring, etc. Under the Skin showed that she had more in her bag of tricks than you might have thought.

A24 4,335 Posted November 11, 2016 Author Share Posted November 11, 2016 Lost In Translation made her! Very natural performance! Don't like the one facial expression mode of Under The Skin or her action flicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightscape94 965 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 The rather monotone performance in Under the Skin makes sense, but I hope she doesn't fall into the trap of replicating that with Ghost in the Shell. It would be lazy to act robotic when playing a mostly cyborg creation. The character wasn't that way in the anime. Matt C 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt C 454 Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 The featurette showed a lot more practical effects than I was expecting. Also intriguing is that there will definitely be a PG-13 iteration of the "Making a Cyborg" titles sequence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLUMENKOHL 1,068 Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Not impressed. The thermo-optic camo shot looks cheesy green screen. I'll stick to the anime, but I'll check this out just to see how well they botch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
