Hey, so this is the list of movies on my local media server which are tagged as “cyberpunk”. I am looking for suggestions on more movies I should add to this list. Cheers,
ETA: Well, OK, this should keep me busy for a while. Thanks - y’all are amazing and awesome.
Alright, I’m gonna watch the ScaJo one first then.
Because I have a feeling I’m not gonna like it after I watch the original, much like it’s hard to appreciate a lot of movies once you’ve read the books they’re based on, but if you see the movie first then it’s fine (and the book is still great)
That’s actually a valid approach. And ScarJo actually has a good acting just directors shit the bed in setting the tone.
It was a decent movie. I’ve not yet gotten around to watching the anime which I suspect will be better, but in isolation, I actually thought it was pretty good.
Yeah what you watch first changes your opinion a lot of times. It’s like a caveman saw copper first thought it was shiny and kept it but it got rusty and Green but he still loved it when he found it new. Then he finds gold at some point and realises gold was superior shiny value all along. So better to learn about copper first so you can appreciate it and it’s not diminished by obvious comparison.
However, for me when i saw the movie (I saw movie first anime later) , I thought it was one time watch. And I discarded watching GiTS because I thought anime would be similar. I only watched anime because some YouTuber went on and on about how that movie affected everything from wachowski brothers in matrix to battle angel Alita. And that’s when I decided to give it go. And as I watched it, I regretted not seeing it sooner.
My point being it’s all pointless, you enjoy what you think is nice. You watch what you want to watch. My recommendation is to watch anime, but I am sure there are people in the world that will find anime to be hot garbage.
