In Reply to: Have you tried Lain: Serial Experiments.........? posted by Chris Garrett on September 02, 2002 at 20:36:29:
I remember the recommendation for that one on the board. I did start with Seven Samurai and have been moving forward since with some movies. I have not been able to find Lain and I'm not willing to buy movies and start a collection. I have only a limited budget and I'd rather only rent what I can find.BTW, I did not like Ghost in the Shell. I started watching Metropolis last night and only got through the first hour. Not sure it is my cup of tea but I'll watch the rest since it is a 1 week rental. Akira will be next up when the person who rented it from Blockbuster returns it.
Follow Ups:
GiTS is noted for it's CGI and its philosophical questions, rather than its entertainment value. Doesn't really do justice to the manga either (that has a whole section on the components to build an artifical consciousness)... a lot of cybernetics and sci-fi blue-skying that really doesn't translate well into video. Mostly ideas about our concept of humanity, what forms this thing we call "identity" and what will happen when medical technology gets to the point that most of our bodies can be replaced (already have artifical hearts) and we become cyborgs, and if cybernetics gets to the point where machines can become self-aware, what would distinguish us from them, etc.
