In the near future, Major (Scarlett Johansson) is the first of her kind: A human saved from a terrible crash, who is cyber-enhanced to be a perfect soldier devoted to stopping the world's most dangerous criminals. When terrorism reaches a new level that includes the ability to hack into people's minds and control them, Major is uniquely qualified to stop it. As she prepares to face a new enemy, Major discovers that she has been lied to: her life was not saved, it was stolen. She will stop at nothing to recover her past, find out who did this to her and stop them before they do it to others. Based on the internationally acclaimed Japanese Manga, "The Ghost in the Shell."
This movie contains 10 potentially triggering events.
There are a few dogs, which are frequently fed and look happy. One in particular, a Bassett hound, is taken home and caught in a crossfire, but is not injured.
Yes, the Japanese protagonist is whitewashed from the anime. After there was backlash against this leading up to the film's release, the filmmakers added a subplot that tries to explain that the character was born Japanese but turned white by some external force. This bit actually made the film even more racist, if anything, as they now have a white person playing someone who is canonically Asian.
the suicide in question takes the form of someone using something fastened around their neck to end their life. it's not a gallows situation by any means, but it still shook me up being what it is
Yes, in an explosion, but we don't see it. We only see the person with brand new machine eyes after.
In another scene, someone's "eyes" are removed, but they are fake machine eyes.
No raceface but there's an incredibly awkward and shoehorned-in subplot about the protagonist being an Asian person who was turned white by an external force to try to justify the film's whitewashing.
