The year is 2030 and six years have passed since a criminal known only as “The Laughing Man” swept through top medical nanotechnology firms committing acts of cyber-terrorism, kidnapping, extortion, and corporate espionage leaving no known suspects. New information is revealed to Japan's top homeland security force, drawing Major Kusanagi and Section 9 into the hunt for a suspect capable of hacking the eyes of every operative, obscuring all details of his appearance and leaving behind a trail of copycats and hacked cyborg citizens. Who is The Laughing Man? What are his motives? And how do you catch a criminal that you cannot see? Join the beautiful cyborg Motoko Kusanagi in a world of high technology and deadly conspiracies as she searches for the answers to these questions and more! (Manga Home Entertainment)

“I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes. Or maybe... I shouldn't?" This movie made me read Salinger, but it's hard to say what that has to do with rating the movie... X-D If you've seen season 1 of Ghost in the Shell and somehow didn't understand much, maybe this can help straighten your thoughts. Even though it's a very long movie, it's not hard to watch it to the end without wanting to move on or worse – turn it off. A slowly perfect cyberpunk mystery with philosophical elements.
