Abstract

The author draws a comparison between the eponimous feature film and Japanese popular culture. In this analysis Ghost in the shell, a late 80’s anime film by Mamoru Oshi, is seen as an instrumental influence to Matrix directors Wachowski brothers. Costumes of the main characters and filming techniques from Ghost in the shell are recreated in the production process of Matrix. This is seen as part of the rise of manga and anime in the worldwide entertainment industry, now a multibillion bussines.
