THE ADVENTURES OF BARON MUNCHAUSEN (1943) | dir Josef von Báky

This shot isn’t simply cool for cool’s sake. It ties into one of the main theme’s of the film: identity. Throughout Ghost in the Shell, the Major questions who she really is and where the boundary lies between her physical body and her sense of self. Here, her body literally begins to disappear until only a faint outline remains. It's a simple visual metaphor for someone whose identity is becoming increasingly difficult to define.
