Analysis Of The Movie The Ghost Of The Shell Trailer

Since the beginning of media, producers have created products that applied to the biggest audience. Unreliable political and current event information and bias leads to underrepresentation of various ethnicities and identities. Mass media coverage portrays figures that appeals to the larger audience, hence, isolating others. The Ghost In The Shell trailer was released on Nov. 13 2016 and featured Scarlet Johansson - a white actress. The film is based on the Japanese manga series of the same name. The protagonist, Major Kusanagi is simply referred to as â€Å"The Major† and erases the identity of the main character. â€Å"To justify the casting choice, screenwriter Max Landis stated: ‘There are no A-list female Asian celebrities right now on an†¦show more content†¦And although I wasn’t sure if it was going to resonate with him, I took him anyway.

He then asked me if people liked the film, I told him that it had a huge following online and great reviews. He then asked me why Diego Luna hadn’t changed his accent and I told him that Diego has openly talked about keeping his accent and how proud he is of it. And my dad was silent for a while and then he said, â€Å"And he was a main character.† And I said, â€Å"He was.† And my dad was so happy. As we drove home he started telling me about other Mexican actors that he thinks should be in movies in America.
