Do you remember 1995?
I vaguely do, but it was a simpler time, one where the sun shone brighter, the holidays went on forever and films were starting to pull themselves out of the 1980’s headspace and were forging ahead to become a new wave of cinema.
Nowadays, it’s all sequels and reboots. Much like this year’s Ghost in the Shell, which is out later this week.
I’m not going to get into the whitewashing debate that has plagued this movie; there are simply too many other voices out there. But I will say that despite the complaints, the setting looks to be a fantastically colourful and vibrant place.
By now you already know whether or not you’re going to watch it. I’m not going to try and persuade you either way.
Ghost in the Shell is out in cinemas March 30th!
