Animanga : Discussions sur les animés et mangas
- While he agrees that Hollywood copies elements from his movies & other Japanese & HK movies, he says copying isn't necessarily bad #ICWOshii
- It's how you copy it. He says he takes from Hollywood movies too and admits Ghost in the Shell owes a lot to Blade Runner #ICWOshii
- "Thinking that technology is a threat & is harmful to humans is an extreme way of thinking...You just can't live without it" #ICWOshii
- His film prior to Patlabor was unsuccessful and he was broke #ICWOshii
- Oshii now views Tokoyo as almost a foreign city, even though he stills works their, since the city has changed to much #ICWOshii
- After 2 Patlabor movies he made enough money to retire to a house in the country... but 6 months later he'd spent it all! #ICWOshii
- So he went to Bandai Visual with a pitch for Ghost. He was taken to the 2nd floor of a Sushi joint by the producer #ICWOshii
- However, before he could make his pitch, the producer pulled out the Ghost manga and told him that he'd be doing it instead #ICWOshii
- Since he needed the $, he agreed to do it. Apparently Ghost was never successful in Japan. Only in the US & Europe. #ICWOshii
- #GhostintheShell was never successful in #Japan -- was made on minimal budget, 10 months with young staff #ICWOshii #anime
- #GhostintheShell Innocence, by comparison, took 3 years and 6x as much money. #Anime #ICWOshii
- On being asked to describe his animation style: "to control the amount of information put into the screen" #ICWOshii
- "Building an architecture, rather than a movie" #ICWOshii
- "No matter how detailed the art is you can't really draw time" #ICWOshii
- Sega's Virtual Fighter was one of Ghost's inspirations for the famous invisible fight. Oshii was hooked on it for almost 3 years. #ICWOshii
- “ i don’t really play games anymore... I played Mario Kart with my wife; it made our relationship worse.” #ICWOshii in convo w/Mamoru Oshii
- One of the biggest challenges of making The Sky Crawlers was that the novel was in the first person #ICWOshii
- The Sky Crawlers was one of his favorite movies of those he has made #ICWOshii
- “...there may have been a time when #technology made humans happy; but we can never go back to that time...” #ICWOshii
- "Technology will never change, so humans have to change. I never said it would make humans happy." - Oshii-san @TIFF_NET #ICWOshii
- “Technology won’t change, therefore humans have to change.” #ICWOshii
- Oshii doesn't watch anime any more...too much of just character and story, not enough 'new worlds' being created #ICWOshii
- “I feel #Japanese #anime recently only has characters + story; don’t have the motivation or passion to come up with a new world” #ICWOshii
- "You need to have new worlds to create new characters." "You create new worlds in anime." -- Mamoru Oshii-san @TIFF_NET #ICWOshii
- Stillness in Oshii films is as necessary as action: “People don’t expect to only see drama; their desire includes violence” #ICWOshii #anime
- Oshii says in the Ghost intro that when filmmakers are struggling is when they come up with the best ideas #ICWOshii
- The first thing Oshii had to think about was the setting for Ghost. You have to select the right setting depending on film's theme #ICWOshii
- Setting he imaged for Ghost's theme was Hong Kong - choose this city because it's a city of information overload #ICWOshii
- Of course, he changed Hong Kong for Ghost. He turned it into a city of canals #ICWOshii
- He scouts the actual locations he is using for his films, be it Hong Kong or Dublin #ICWOshii
- Oshii joked that in the original manga Motoko has huge breasts, & in the film they are a lot smaller, which disappointed his staff #ICWOshii
- But there was a reason, since for the movie he wanted to make her more real. She needed to be more muscular & less voluptuous #ICWOshii
- #ICWOshii on Sky Crawlers: typical gender difference in the way time is experienced @TIFF_NET
- #ICWOshii proud of The Sky Crawlers as a "movie-like" movie.
A tour de force of his understanding of the power of stillness and reduction

"The HD Blu-Ray remaster of the original, unadulterated Ghost in the Shell is coming to the UK on home video this October, but if you don't want to wait that long to see Mamoru Oshii's classic in all its glory then you might be interested to know that Picturehouse Cinemas will be screening this HD remaster of the film in ten locations in September."
