Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence - Script

Description: Transcript of the movie Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence (2004) based upon a viewing of the English DVD release, using the English subtitles.

I do not speak, nor understand, Japanese, so this is an American-version transcript. Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence is an extremely philosophical movie, so I have decided to watch and type up a transcript of the movie so that I could expand my own knowledge of the film. In the spirit of the Internet/Web, I provide it here as well to aid others.

See also the Ghost in the Shell - Script for the first movie.

For the sake of version control and in the interest of not having multiple versions floating about the Internet, please link to the pages on this site instead of copying the script elsewhere. Using short blurbs of a sentence or two is perfectly fine. Thank you :)

If you notice any problems with the movie’s transcript, please just let me know. Also, if you have any comments or thoughts that you’d like to share on a particular portion of the movie (or the movie in general), please don’t hesitate to share them with the public via the comment system, or send them privately to strivinglife [at] gmail [dot] com.

Obviously, I didn’t write the original script, and I respect all copyrights as applicable. I’m just a fan of the philosophy of the movie, and since there wasn’t a script online at the time of this writing, I figured I could transcribe one (after all, my Waking Life transcript turned out to be quite the resource) ... I just hope others find it a valuable resource, and a stepping stone towards further discussions on this movie.

Can you help? Ryan C. asks for movies in a vein similar to Ghost in the Shell 2 and Waking Life). He suggests Mindwalk and My Dinner With Andre as two such movies. Can you, readers, recommend any other movies like these?

Just want to say thank you for the great effort of posting the script!!
I wholeheartedly appreciate that!
Since the quotes in the film come from different cultural and religious references, it is quite hard to understand them all. My DVD is of Chinese subtitles, so when it comes to the quotes from the Bible, it really troubles me a lot to figure out the precise wording...Thanks a billion!!:D

Thanks for your comment :)

There's still some cultural references that need to get cleaned up a bit - I'm hopeful that eventually someone who better knows the language will help with that - but it's definitely a pretty good start.

Thanks again,

~James
