Quote IV
Let one live alone doing no evil, carefree...
...like and elephant in the elephant forest.
-Buddha
I know I wasted so much time watching Ghost in the Shell :Innocence this morning. Yeah, so sue me.
This is the second time I'm watching it. The first time was a feast for the eyes, but since the subtitles were horrible, I didn't understand a thing. With the new subs, its much more clearer. Will probably be watching it again. I dunno, but I find it a really rich film. And it's worth repeat viewing since the artwork is just so detailed.
The main characters are intellectuals I must say, they quote a lot-I mean really a lot. Confucius, Buddha, some french and russian writers, Plato, the Bible and this mysterious japanese guy named Ryokuu Saitou.
But this quote by Buddha appeared two times, one by Aramaki and another by Major and Batou.
Suffices to say, it is the mood for the entire film: Resignation.
p/s I want to blog on this film in a later post. I promised I'll write something about Cry the beloved country, but still haven't finished it yet.
