What Lures Me Back
Ghost in the Shell: Innocence was released in the United States yesterday, and I’m going to go check it out this Sunday with my father. We’ve revived an old tradition of ours where we go and see a movie and get some lunch once a week.
He hadn’t seen the original so I gave him a homework assignment to rent it so he could catch up. He was able to find it on DVD at Blockbuster and wrote me a short email notifiying me that he had completed his assignment and asking what I found so interesting about the film. My father answered his own question, and my response is highlighted.
Hello Son,Besides making me want to order the life-size, inflatable doll of the Major what is all the excitment about? Excellent philosophical treatise, great cyborgs, weapons, and vehicles… and of course the animation was quite good… but what is luring you back to the theater to see the sequel?
Love,
Dad
