Thursday, November 18, 2004 Just how do you improve on perfection?Mamuro Oshii's techno-existential foray into a future where digital intelligence attains lifelike sentience returns. Make that sneaks in, tiptoeing, straight to shelf-spaces reserved almost exclusively for bootleg stuff at MCS. Ghost In the Shell: Innocence has not lost the breadth, atmosphere and scope of the first. So, back to the timeless existential question of "what is man?" The answer is, hold your breath, "Rowdy." The subtitles are nauseatingly way, way off their mark, like entrusting the congenitally blind to hit the bull's eye. Finishing the movie, from credits to end credits, with the subtitled word "rowdy" sporadically sprouting all throughout, was a true tensile-test of spiritual fortitude and endurance. And yes, I pass the test. None the worse for wear? Absolutely ... not.
