The Matrix Reloaded

The Wachowskis showed Ghost in the Shell to producer Joel Silver and said: we want to do that for real. Mamoru Oshii's anime became the template for the Matrix's visual philosophy, the merging of biological and digital, the question of consciousness in mechanical systems. They then hired legendary Hong Kong choreographer Yuen Woo-ping to ground it in physical reality. The result is world cinema DNA running through American blockbuster. Ghost in the Shell is on MUBI.
