Who is the Major, aka Motoko Kusanagi? Scarlett Johansson and Juliette Binoche give some answers in this new featurette of Ghost in the Shell.
Motoko of Ghost in the Shell is a heroine as we see little. Admittedly, it is a cyborg with extraordinary power and agility, capable of confronting the worst terrorists. But it is also a character rendered fascinating by his profound humanity . For, as you know, before his consciousness was transplanted into a state-of-the-art synthetic body, Motoko was human. And of course, the memories of her past life come to haunt her even though she has to confront one of her worst adversaries: Kuze, also an Android, who rebels against his creators. Besides, he may well train the Major, as we saw in the last trailer of Ghost in the Shell , In which we see the young woman determined to regain control of her life.

For, as Scarlett Johansson says, Ghost in the Shell tells first and foremost what the Major does to know who he really is and where he comes from. And it does not matter that our heroine has the incredible ability to adapt to all situations, her inner journey can be as painful as difficult. Scarlett Johansson, who obviously liked to play a character as complex as Motoko Kusanagi, knew, according to the director, appropriating the dimension deeply human .
