Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence (Dub) Click to manage book marks. Type: Movies Plot Summary: With Major Motoko Kusanagi missing, Section 9's Batou is assigned to investigate a string of gruesome murders—seemingly at the hands of faulty gynoids, or sex robots. But when a faulty gynoid leaves Batou a cryptic message, he begins to question the cause of their malfunctions.

Plot The story is loosely based on Ghost in the Shell manga chapter 'Robot Rondo' (with elements of 'Phantom Fund'). Opening in 2032, operative is teamed with, an agent with very few cybernetic upgrades, following the events of. After a series of deaths due to malfunctioning —doll-like sex robots—Section 9 is asked to investigate. As the gynoids all malfunctioned without clear cause, the deaths are believed to be premeditated murders; Batou and Togusa are sent to investigate possible terrorist or political motives. Additionally, the most recent gynoid's remains show they all contained an illegal 'ghost'. Section 9 concludes human sentience is being artificially duplicated onto the dolls illegally, making the robots more lifelike, and possibly acting as a motive in the murders.

Called to a homicide scene, information warfare/technology specialist Ishikawa explains the victim is Jack Walkson, a consignment officer at gynoid company LOCUS SOLUS, who may have been killed by the. A previous Yakuza boss was recently killed by a gynoid, so Ishikawa concludes Walkson was held responsible and killed in an act of revenge. Batou and Togusa enter a Yakuza bar to question the current boss, only to be threatened by the bar occupants. Batou opens fire, killing and wounding numerous gang members, including the cyborg that murdered Walkson.

The current boss then admits his predecessor was somehow involved in LOCUS SOLUS, but insists he doesn't know how. Entering a store on his way home, Batou is then seemingly warned by and shot in the arm by an unseen assailant. Caught in a, Batou nearly kills the store owner in confusion, but is subdued when Ishikawa appears. While having his damaged arm replaced, Batou is informed by Ishikawa that his was hacked, causing him to shoot himself and attack the store occupants. Ishikawa explains that Batou was hacked to try and cause further scandal following his Yakuza assault in an attempt to stop the Section 9 investigation. Batou and Togusa then head for the mansion of Kim, a soldier-turned-hacker with an obsession with dolls. Seemingly dead, Kim soon reveals he 'lives' inside the shell of a human-sized, and discusses philosophy with his visitors.

Kim admits ties to LOCUS SOLUS, divulging that the company has secret headquarters in. Warned again by the Major, Batou realizes that Kim has secretly hacked into his and Togusa's e-brains, and is currently trapping them in a false reality. Resetting Togusa's brain, Batou subdues Kim, noting he knows Kim hacked his brain in the store.

Resolved to gather material evidence, Batou infiltrates the LOCUS SOLUS headquarters ship while Togusa remotely hacks its security systems using an unaware Kim as a. The ship's security becomes aware of the hacking and retaliates with a virus that fries Kim's cyberbrain. Simultaneously, a hidden virus loads a combat program into the production-line gynoids, causing them to attack everyone aboard. As Batou fights to the ship's center, the Major then appears by controlling a gynoid remotely, helping Batou fight the gynoids and hack the ship's security. Taking control of the ship, the Major then reveals to Batou the truth about the gynoids. Hiring the Yakuza to young girls, LOCUS SOLUS duplicated their consciousnesses into the gynoids, giving them human 'ghosts' to make them more realistic. Batou rescues a young girl from a 'ghost dubbing' machine, and she explains that Jack Walkson, learning the truth about LOCUS SOLUS, promised to save the girls by tampering with the ghosting process; this caused the gynoids to murder their owners, allowing Walkson to attract police attention and indirectly kill the Yakuza boss.

Despite Walkson's actions saving the girls, Batou objects that he also victimized the gynoids as well, causing them severe distress by giving them damaged ghosts. Having solved the case, Batou asks the Major if she's happy now, and she notes that she'll always be beside him on the network, before disconnecting from the gynoid. Allusions and references Innocence contains many references to, and, and addresses aesthetic and moral questions. For example, the film begins with a quotation from 's from 1886: 'If our Gods and our hopes are nothing but scientific phenomena, then let us admit it must be said that our love is scientific as well.' Other numerous quotations in the film come from, the, -era critic, 14th century playwright, the, and, French Enlightenment philosopher and author of '. The characters and their names contain many allusions to other older works.

For example, the 'Hadaly' model robots refer to a human-like robot named Hadaly featured in, also the book that popularized the word. The company LOCUS SOLUS is named for the by, which also shares certain thematic elements with the film, such as a mansion containing. The police forensic specialist, Haraway, is most likely named for, feminist author of. Haraway's character is likely based on from Asimov's. The Robot series is also referenced in the film's androids as they comply with a modified version of Asimov's. Dolls are also an important motif in Innocence; many have 'spirits' of some sort, but at the same time are not quite human.

They are based on the art of, a dollmaker famous for his disturbing, erotic ball-jointed female dolls. The parade sequence is based on a religious procession and a temple in Taiwan. Production Director's ideas On the origins of the movie, director says he didn't envision it solely as a sequel to Ghost in the Shell.

He said, 'I had a dozen ideas, linked to my views on life, my philosophy, that I wanted to include in this film. I attacked Innocence as a technical challenge; I wanted to go beyond typical animation limits, answer personal questions and at the same time appeal to filmgoers.' Oshii traveled the world in order to find inspirations for the film.

Oshii based the appearance on the dolls created by he saw at the in New York. He credited for the idea of including quotes by other authors: 'The texts. Give a certain richness to cinema because the visual is not all there is.

Thanks to Godard, the spectator can concoct his own interpretation. The image associated with the text is a unifying act that aims at renewing cinema, that let's it take to new dimensions.' Oshii noted his attention to detail might be particularly Japanese: 'I get absorbed in the finer points – like what the back of a bottle label looks like when you see it through the glass demonstrates with a bottle of mineral water. That's very Japanese, I suppose. I want people to go back to the film again and again to pick up things they missed the first time.'

Describing the overall look, the director said, 'The film is set in the future, but it's looking at present-day society. And as I said, there's an autobiographical element as well. I'm looking back at some of the things I liked as a child — the 1950s cars and so on.

Basically, I wanted to create a different world — not a future world.' The dog Gabriel, looking once more like the only 'real' being, makes a key appearance, as in many of Oshii's movies. A scene with Batou feeding his dog is echoed in Ash in (2001).

He explained the reason why all his films feature a —his companion in real life: 'This body you see before you is an empty shell. The dog represents my body. Human beings can be free only if they free themselves from their bodies. When I am playing around with my dog, I forget that I am a human being, and it's only then that I feel free.'

As for the state of and, Oshii had this to say: 'I think that Hollywood is relying more and more on imaging like that of. The strength behind Japanese animation is based in the designer's pencil. Even if he mixes, 3D, and computer graphics, the foundation is still 2D. Only doing 3D does not interest me.' On the overall message of the film, the director said 'This movie.

Concludes that all forms of life – humans, animals and robots – are equal. In this day and age when everything is uncertain, we should all think about what to value in life and how to coexist with others.' On his narrative intentions Oshii comments: 'I had a bigger budget than for Ghost in the Shell. I also had more time to prepare it. Yet despite the economic leeway, abundant details and orientations, it was still important to tell an intimate story.' Title change In order to better market the film outside Japan, the Ghost in the Shell 2 moniker was added to the title of the film, with Innocence becoming the subtitle. Some fans saw this as conflicting with Oshii's statements that the film wasn't, in actuality, a standard Hollywood-esque sequel, and was able to, and intended to, stand on its own.

English-language dub When released Innocence, they released it subtitled, without English dubbing, a controversial choice since every Ghost in the Shell anime released by outside of Japan had been dubbed. Announced Manga Entertainment UK's co-production of an English dub with, their Australian distributor and longtime partner, and 's (the voice of Batou) Epcar Entertainment studio for the dubbing. This was the first dub Manga UK had produced since in 1999 and the first dub Madman produced.

This dub was released in the UK by Manga and in Australia by Madman Entertainment (using the Go Fish Pictures transfer). Bandai Entertainment created a second dub for the North American market using most of the voice actors from the Manga/Madman version making some changes to the cast and production team and using 's studio.

Release Problems with the foreign DVD releases On December 28, 2004, (parent company of theatrical distributor ) released Innocence on in the US. Reviews immediately began appearing on and other websites criticizing the movie's subtitle track: Instead of including the overlay subtitles from the theatrical release, DreamWorks produced the DVD subtitles using, resulting in subtitles that intruded on the movie's visual effects.

In addition to reading dialogue, audiences saw cues like 'Footsteps.' Or 'Helicopter approaches.' After receiving numerous complaints, DreamWorks released a statement saying that unsatisfied customers could exchange their DVDs for properly subtitled ones, postage paid; and that version 4 already had the proper subtitling., which released and co-produced the first film and collaborated with to release the TV series, released Innocence with an featuring the same cast as the one used in in the UK on February 27, 2006. The Manga UK dub was co-produced with long-time anime partner, who has distributed Manga UK titles in Australia since its founding in 1996. The UK English dub on the Region 1 disc features an audio error where the soundtrack has been pitch shifted down, resulting in unnatural sounding deep voices, and mechanical sound effects in slow motion. This is also present on the standard DVD.

Bandai Entertainment has released the film on Blu-ray and DVD in the US, with an English dub also featuring the cast used in Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. Bandai had licensed the film for a short period from Paramount.

The controversy with licensing also affected its release in Australia. Although Madman licensed it through Go Fish Pictures, the English dub used is from Manga Entertainment, through which Madman have licensed all Ghost in the Shell properties. The licensing costs are extremely high due to two different licenses being in effect on the DVD release. It is unknown whether Madman will use the Manga Entertainment dub or the Bandai dub for the Blu-ray version.
