  • so unless you've been living under a

  • rock for the last year you know there's

  • a Hollywood live-action adaptation of

  • course Michelle in the work and on the

  • way that there are rumors going around

  • with scheme of things like the Akira is

  • literally happening like it so very soon

  • and it's very much a Western production

  • which has been the topic that has

  • surrounded every single drop of

  • coverages movies had so far

  • negative and positive compassionately

  • excited for the movie and very much

  • ready to ask for my opinion on it when

  • it comes out but i have a few problems

  • with the discussion around the film at

  • the moment it's really been building and

  • building with every wave of discourse

  • that comes into my supermedia feet every

  • time there's a new trailer or negative

  • news about the movie this discussion

  • always follows so recently I posted a

  • tweet or much for account highlighting

  • the magazine tall film and how they use

  • the caption the next-gen matrix when

  • discussing first in the shell which is

  • ironic because the matrix used to us

  • michelle has major influences and it's

  • nothing super crazy is like of research

  • on that point there was the response

  • that my tweet God for people who didn't

  • even follow me and where from completely

  • different circles of Twitter these are

  • some of the responses here the next

  • white washing mean rule from Hollywood

  • panty asian giving asian rules two-way

  • actors this is the discussion that has

  • been happening right from the start the

  • idea that we took should be played by an

  • Asian actor and subscribers around

  • shouldn't be allowed to play this role I

  • know this is just fucking stupid not

  • because I don't believe we're washing

  • exists or think it's not a bad thing

  • so what annoys me is that isn't relevant

  • with the Vols little cool and i'll

  • explain in a second

  • we're in this weird period where people

  • just love to snatch any possible hint of

  • politics and media and then they just

  • milk it for everything it's worth

  • feminism this or racism that is sooo

  • annoying when there's a little fall and

  • research behind those claims are in this

  • case and it's not just random ignorant

  • Twitter cancer spotting list it's

  • genuinely well-established personalities

  • immediate left there's a number of

  • reasons to why this is an absolute

  • bullsh argument one that should be taken

  • place on this scale for this movie so

  • let's start off by understanding what

  • material Kusanagi is a character

  • google has been portrayed several times

  • for that areas interation discussion

  • michelle from the original manga or

  • she's movies to stand alone complex to

  • the latest arrived series each having

  • their own different personalities that

  • goes Michelle is never adapted in the

  • traditional sense but reimagines or she

  • took it in a different direction with

  • the original movie so did come and stand

  • alone complex and then again with the

  • rise

  • there's no rule that you have to follow

  • in a ghost in the shell production

  • stylistically or otherwise the same goes

  • for this live-action film there's no

  • obligation to do it one way or the other

  • that's what makes the franchise such an

  • interesting one but 40 these iterations

  • metropolis ethnicity and sexuality have

  • always been totally unambiguous it's one

  • of the most important aspects of her

  • character she decided was that her

  • humility removed and there's no

  • questioning exactly what she is your

  • ethnicity is ambiguous for a reason so

  • the idea that it should be one thing or

  • another is ridiculous

  • the whole point of her character is to

  • break down these kind of social

  • constructs and the question or idealisms

  • the ethnicity of her character is not

  • what's important and not what we're

  • talking about and neither is our

  • sexuality another stupid crisis and I've

  • seen a lot of people think that

  • sexualizing a character is automatically

  • a bad thing which is just not true her

  • under your sexuality and numbness to

  • being sexualize is for the same reason I

  • was her identity there to break down

  • preconceptions about a topic and then

  • explore how she approaches the topic

  • herself sexualizing her character is

  • important it needs to happen that isn't

  • sexist or anti-feminist of these idiots

  • have been sick this is just another

  • example of these people putting their

  • shape forced politics ahead of actual

  • content

  • the important thing to come from a

  • ticklish character is the set of

  • questions that remain when you remove

  • her humanity the idea that someone would

  • complain about the ethnicity of material

  • in this iteration of the franchise is

  • just ridiculous and it just remains the

  • years of hard work previous careers have

  • put into this franchise to make it one

  • of the most for provoking and exciting

  • set works in the media

  • let's talk about me to go on a purely

  • effect

  • basis was even if these people haven't

  • watched the franchise enough to

  • understand that automatically can still

  • look at the design this there are

  • distinctly even characters and anomie

  • and material is not one of them

  • she's designed to be ambiguous at first

  • glance she could be British Japanese

  • French anything

  • the fact is she's a cyborg she doesn't

  • have a human body she has never in any

  • of the installments been designed with

  • an obvious ethnicity for reasons of

  • already explained forecasting scarlett

  • johansson is no less logical decision

  • than any other ethnicity

  • I'll even put some examples on the

  • screen from different mechanical designs

  • against the live-action version i mean

  • you have to be pulling it fraud to see

  • Scarlett Johansson's doesn't look great

  • for the role on a purely aesthetic level

  • no valid criticism would be the acting

  • ability of scarlett johansson maybe

  • we'll see she's not reactor for the role

  • and that would be a fair assumption that

  • we don't yet know what kind of person

  • she's gonna adopt in the movie but if

  • you don't think are acting spell is

  • right for a metrical them that's

  • perfectly valid criticism I personally

  • enjoyed her performances with what I've

  • seen with more exciting lost in

  • translation or under the skin

  • I think she's a really skilled actress

  • but she has been some more commercial

  • work with the Avengers are just doing

  • utilize your abilities and end up coming

  • off a bit lines because go either way at

  • this point i personally think she's fine

  • choice from a typical if you're aware of

  • the actual hard truth reasoning behind

  • why she's in the role it's not like

  • exciting and Max Landis screenwriter

  • industry has already done a whole video

  • explaining why he does a fantastic job

  • of doing so it's essentially money

  • the movie is taking a lot of money to

  • make people want to make money from the

  • movie actors like johansson bring in a

  • lot of money while others your formula

  • is your reason for why Scarlett

  • Johansson's cap it's not because of a

  • racist agenda or bias towards way actors

  • that simply that she brings in the money

  • needed for this project

  • there just aren't many actors school

  • stop that would suit this rule and bring

  • in the kind of money that's needed

  • there isn't this underlying fantasy

  • narrative over racism and white washing

  • it's much more cut-and-dry than I

  • definitely recommend watching my clan

  • this video if you want to know more

  • about that specifically so not only is

  • materials ethnicity not relevant

  • automatically but it's not an issue

  • industry wise that's just how it is at

  • the moment people live in this weird

  • fantasy world on Twitter and social

  • media

  • or just the Internet in general where

  • everything is run by this underlying

  • stream of politics and feminism and

  • equality not everything has ulterior

  • political Morton really most of the time

  • it's just not that complicated for these

  • shitty news articles and Twitter

  • accounts just have to give everything a

  • political clips and it really sucks when

  • it's justified then school I hate seeing

  • force politics been pasted over

  • everything that moves these days it's

  • not interesting and it's not progressive

  • was just shaped so if you're one of

  • those people constantly complaining

  • about the particulars ethnicity or the

  • fact that you can see here are just fuck

  • off somewhere else please if I could

  • send one message from this video it

  • would be pleased pleased for his on the

  • movie not the make-believe politics that

  • surround it

  • we have wanted to make this video for

  • awhile know all this rubbish it really

  • annoys me and it detract from the

  • discussions are meant to come from a

  • movie like this always there watching

  • stuff in a huge topic that is real and

  • it's not made up but it doesn't have to

  • be pieces everywhere and it's not the

  • motive behind every single decision and

  • Hollywood or on the internet and but for

  • now thank you very much for watching

  • this video as it sounds it's something I

  • really wanted to i made a bunch of video

  • is actually discussing ghost in the

  • shell and many different forms and many

  • of the different iterations of the

  • franchise if you want to check them out

  • click on the screen if you want to watch

  • something completely different for my

  • channel you do that to unscrews thanks

  • for watching

so unless you've been living under a
