Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence (2004)

This animated film is a follow-up to the 1995 film Ghost in the Shell by Mamoru Oshii.  Machines and people are almost identical. It is difficult to discern reality.

Likely one of the most beautifully drawn and told sci-fi/noir/anime films ever made. The version we watched was in Japanese with English sub-titles.

I first saw Ghost in the Shell and did not consider it remarkable despite its reputation as one of the great Japanese animated movies. I’ll certainly re-visit it after watching Ghost in the Shell 2.
