It's because the US is not a white country, it is a multi-ethnic country. If US were a white country like, for instance, Lithuania or Poland which are nearly 100% white, then nobody would complain...

Re: Ghost In The Shell (2017)

Why watch the animation when you can read the comic or novel it was adapted from? :)

Most masterpieces of American cinema were adaptations: All Quiet in the Western Front, 2001 and Apocalypse Now...

I don't think GitS will be bad actually. I think it's going to be all right although it does not look like it's going to be like Oshii's artistic film.

Also it is technically a comic book...

That looks really like: "GitS for dummies". It's like "OMG she is a cyborg" as if she were the first cyborg ever instead of being one of the millions of cyborgs in the GitS world. The dialogue...

That's like saying you are not going to watch a book adaptation like the Godfather because you disliked the adaptions of books like Harry Potter and Narnia.

Pacific Rim is based on archaic 1970's series like Mazinger Z. The movie is all about Del Toro's childhood. Those series also influenced later giant robot shows like Gundam and EVA.

Well, Kamikaze Girls is a light novel adaptation and is great. Among manga live action adaptations I think that Oldboy is good. Haven't watched any Rurouni Kenshin live action films.

Re: Ghost In The Shell (2017)

The Seven Samurai adaptation is good.
