Lucy to Ghost in the Shell



Well so i decide to go and watch the movie Ghost in a Shell for various reasons. What am i after all apart from my physical being. What happens after i leave my body. Is there a ghost in me that can go elsewhere. I am not sure of having a Spirit. No has ever claimed the presence of a spirit scientifically i guess. Although many have claimed seeing one. I in all my senses think i have seen one. Unlike one expects i have seen a dark vapor like form moving quick. I guess that may be some kind of a evil spirit. I dont startle seeing such things but i do believe that man knows very little of what is really out there in this world. If i dont know the true meaning of reality why bother.

Getting to the context about the adventures of ScarJo being a spirit. She ended up knowing everything (Reality) after taking a strange drug in Hong Kong while acting in the movie Lucy. She knew what reality is thanks to the drug and could alter reality for others living in this world. She made all her antagonist cry tears of blood. Eventually at the end of the movie she ended up being a spirit, By being a spirit she was omnipresent. Before being a spirit she transferred all the knowledge available to people around her.

Talking about trust i have some serious trust issues when it comes to transfer of knowledge. Why should one transfer knowledge that can make a difference to anyone if you posses it. The problem is if one does such one thing you are on the receiving end of it eventually. Like for example using of chemicals to build chemical weapons and gassing people to death. Man is the one who has come up with rules in order to function in a society.  Rules dont make a man good and just by following rules does not make you good either. One is doing what is one supposed to do. But as man made rules he decides to defend it  from people(animals) who break the rules. Most of the time it is Manimals that breaks the rules as every human being has greed of material possession in him. No matter how big a saint one is all like the sound to being rich.

My take of the whole affair in the movie Ghost in a Shell is that ScarJo was naive about people around her in the movie Lucy. She transfers knowledge and ends up as a spirit that is omnipresent. Eventually she decides to come back as Motuko a Japanese female to enjoy the world she built. But to her dismay she found out that things have not changed inspite of mans biggest leap towards building a better future. She ended up being on the receiving end in order to satisfy mans greed. People around her suffered. She had tough time dealing with her memories as her memories define her. She eventually knew about the gravity of her current situation that is revolving around deception. Eventually after figuring everything out she decides to defend the world she built. I guess this cycle in real life too may keep going on and on.
