"Unusually intelligent and challenging science fiction. Two thumbs up" - Siskel & Ebert
Spun from Masamune Shirow’s popular and long-running manga series, Ghost in The Shell begins the cinematic adventures of cyborg law-enforcement division Section 9. When Section 9 leader Major Motoko Kusanagi kills a foreign diplomat while on assignment, she appears to have been manipulated by the mysterious hacker known as “The Puppet Master”. Section 9’s search for the Puppet Master becomes as much an existential quest as a police actioner, boosted by gorgeous futuristic cityscapes and Kenji Kawai’s epic soundtrack.

In ordinary anime, characters would at least blink to create the feeling of "being animated", but in this movie, Motoko's eyes intentionally stayed unblinking many times. Director Mamoru Oshii's intention was to portray her as a "doll".
