A question about Mirrors
Posted: Fri Dec 08, 2006 12:56 pm
I'm new here so sorry if this is in the wrong forum.
Also sorry if it's a newb question from someone new to anime.
Mirrors seem to hold an important place in the entire GITS series and movies. From the bloody hand print to Togusa staring into one. To the comment "Mirrors are to be Glimpsed at, Not stared into." Is there an intentional relationship to self image or is it just for dramatic effect.
There also seems to be a lot of reflected images in other places ( Water and Windows. ECT. )that seem to be there for more than just visual effect. Is there something I'm missing?
I haven't read any of the GITS books or comics yet. Does the theme of refection show in those as well?
