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
