Actually, I don&amp;#x27;t think GITS is nearly so cynical; Robocop is nearly as cyber but even more punk.  OCP and the government turn him into a machine with a callous disregard for his rights and wellbeing.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.youtube.com&amp;#x2F;watch?v=2z8tQqZG8gI&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.youtube.com&amp;#x2F;watch?v=2z8tQqZG8gI&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
