Concept Cars From Ghost In The Shell
Remember the line, “If we all reacted the same way, we’d be predictable, and there’s always more than one way to view a situation. Overspecialization leads to death?”
That explains why Major Motoko Kusanagi chose Togusa, the least cyberized human in the animated film Ghost in the Shell which is directed by Mamoru Oshii.
A sequel of the 1994 movie Innocence, Ghost in the Shell was based from Shirow Masamune’s graphic novel of the same title and was released in 1995 where it featured two concept vehicles - the Nissan Sport Concept and Infiniti Kuraza which both debuted at the 2005 New York International Auto Show.
The characters mentioned earlier were part of the Section 9 team members who used the concept cars.
According to Mitsuhisa Ishikawa, president of the film producer Production I. G, , Ghost in the Shell is a product of the collaborative efforts of creative people on both companies (refererring to Production I.G and Nissan).
“The zealous effort by our highly motivated creators, from the director right down the staff roster is noticeable in the film. Take a close look at the cars in the film. I’ll bet you find them every bit as cool as the actual cars,” Ishikawa added.
The Nissan Sport Concept, a three-door hatchback, has a youthful appeal with its dynamically-shaped fenders, spoilers and large wheels while the Infiniti Kuraza symbolizes comfort, luxury and high-technology.
Ghost in the Shell is said to be an influential concept to Hollywood movies such as The Matrix and Kill Bill.
