- Ghost stories: There was something about our new home...
We eldest and Nanny Williams, our beloved summer-holiday addition, interrogated her. Waking in the night, she had seen a dead child. This is how she described it — not a ghost, but a dead child dressed in Victorian clothing, visible from the knees up.

It had a certain logic: I became determined not to see any such thing. Sounds could be denied; but sights would be too appalling. But my mother was not the only person to be so affected. It is colder than the rest of the house, now a repository for our old toys, which adds a certain Gothic element. Back then, however, my four-year-old brother occupied it. Like all youngest offspring, he was a golden child: That summer he changed: Asked why he was so exhausted as he sat yawning one morning, he answered: I wonder] and the two men fighting over my bed, then one man hurts the other and the lady screams.
My mother braved it to prove her wrong. Next morning, the room was locked. Somehow this was — and remains — the most horrifying thing I had ever heard. A night in England's most haunted bedroom. One bright August day, drinking tea in the kitchen, we elders — me, my sister, Nanny and mother — finally admitted that something was happening. We laughed and teased each other but, my God, it was a relief. Suddenly, a mirror sprang off the wall and shattered. On the back of its glass, in an old-fashioned script, the numbers were repeatedly etched, along with the message: Like you, I am wary of ghost stories: This is a story with no denouement.
Over time, a year or two, events gradually petered out. Again, I am told that this is standard form: Plus, I like to think that Bettses are far more terrifying. It is our home.

Monday 17 September There was something about our new home Teenage fears or a more sinister presence? A year later, Killian has attained the rank of Major in the anti-terrorist bureau Section 9 , working alongside operatives Batou and Togusa under Chief Daisuke Aramaki. Killian, who experiences hallucinations that Ouelet dismisses as glitches , is troubled by how little she remembers of her past.
The team thwarts a terrorist attack on a Hanka business conference, and Killian destroys a robotic geisha after it murders a hostage. After learning that the geisha was hacked by an unknown entity known as Kuze , Killian breaks protocol and "dives" into its AI for answers. The entity attempts a counter-hack, and Batou is forced to disconnect her. They trace the hacker to a yakuza nightclub, where they are lured into a trap. The explosion destroys Batou's eyes and damages Killian's body.
Cutter is enraged by Killian's actions, and threatens to have Section 9 shut down unless Aramaki keeps her in line. Kuze tracks down Section 9's Hanka consultant, Dr. Dahlin, and kills her. The team links her murder to the deaths of other senior company researchers and realize that Ouelet is the next target. Kuze takes control of two sanitation workers and sends them to kill Ouelet. Batou, now with cybernetic eyes , kills one while the repaired Killian subdues the other.
While they interrogate the worker, Kuze speaks through him before compelling him to commit suicide. Togusa traces the hack to a secret location, where the team discovers a large number of humans mentally linked as a makeshift signal network. Killian is captured and Kuze reveals that he is a failed Hanka test subject from the same project that created Killian.
He urges her to question her own memories, then frees her and escapes. Killian confronts Ouelet, who admits that 98 test subjects died before Killian, and that her memories are implanted. Cutter has decided that Killian is a liability and orders Ouelet to kill her after she returns to Hanka Robotics.

Instead, Ouelet gives Killian an address and helps her escape. Cutter kills Ouelet, but blames Killian, saying that she has gone rogue. He informs Aramaki and the team that Killian must be terminated. Killian follows the address to an apartment occupied by a widowed mother, who reveals that her daughter, Motoko Kusanagi , ran away from home a year ago and was arrested.
Motoko took her own life while in custody. Killian leaves and contacts Aramaki, who allows Cutter to remotely eavesdrop on their conversation. Batou, Togusa, and Aramaki eliminate Cutter's men trying to ambush them, while Killian follows her memories to the hideaway where Motoko was last seen. There, she and Kuze meet and recall their past lives as anti-augmentation radicals who were abducted by Hanka as test subjects. Cutter deploys a "spider-tank" to kill them.
Kuze nearly dies before Killian is able to tear off the tank's motor, losing an arm in the process. Mortally wounded, Kuze offers to merge his "ghost" with Killian's, but Killian refuses. Kuze fades out, then a Hanka sniper kills him. Batou and the team rescue Killian, while Aramaki executes Cutter with Killian's consent. The next day, Killian, now repaired and embracing her true identity as the Japanese Motoko, reconnects with her mother and returns to work with Section 9.

Skull Island , which had held it for three weeks. The website's critical consensus reads, " Ghost in the Shell boasts cool visuals and a compelling central performance from Scarlett Johansson, but the end result lacks the magic of the movie's classic source material. Justin Chang of the Los Angeles Times praised the film's visuals and production, saying: The cinematography and production design, both staggering, are by Jess Hall and Jan Roelfs, respectively. Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film 2.
Cecilia D'Anastasio of Kotaku commented on the film's failure to adhere to the source material, saying: Nicholas Barber of the BBC described the film as "conceptually and visually breathtaking," an elaborately designed and detailed dystopia which seems disturbingly real. Peter Suderman of Vox and Emily Yoshida of Vulture criticized the removal of philosophical ideas from the story, feeling the movie westernized the story and changed the search for the idea of a soul to finding individuality and memories.
James Hadfield of the Japan Times argued that the film missed the mark, but was better than Hollywood's previous attempts at adapting anime for the big screen. The film has a 3. Ask John of AnimeNation stated that the Major of the live-action film is not a self-made woman.

In Japan, fans were surprised that the casting had caused controversy, as they had already assumed that a Hollywood production would choose a white actress.
They felt the appearance of the protagonist was immaterial due to the franchise's themes of self-identity and the blurring of artificial and natural bodies. Hence, many Japanese Americans may find Johansson's casting in a Ghost in the Shell movie distressing, while native Japanese observers make nothing of it. Paramount released a featurette of Mamoru Oshii , director of the anime films, visiting the studio, in which he says that Johansson exceeded his expectations for the role.
I stand by my decision—she's the best actress of her generation.
Sam Yoshiba, director of the international business division at Kodansha's Tokyo headquarters, which holds the rights to the Ghost in the Shell series, said: She has the cyberpunk feel. And we never imagined it would be a Japanese actress in the first place Diversity is important in Hollywood, and I would never want to feel like I was playing a character that was offensive. Also, having a franchise with a female protagonist driving it is such a rare opportunity.
Certainly, I feel the enormous pressure of that—the weight of such a big property on my shoulders. The film attracted further criticism for its ending, which reveals that Johansson's character was originally a Japanese girl. Another Japanese-American actress, Atsuko Okatsuka, said: For some reason, the best stuff they make happens to be white. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
