The wordless city montage from Mamoru Oshii's 1995 film Ghost in the Shell, in 1080p, showing the city and its people as Motoko travels by boat.

Referenced as a model of a contemplative, mood-setting sequence that shows a city away from the main plot.

There's high praise in some movies or animation where they depict the mundane; the long sequence in Ghost in the Shell just showing the city as it is, away from the main story ( ▶ this video ), most of Studio Ghibli's films, a lot of Breaking Bad and especially Better Call Saul, where there's a lot of scenes of people just going about their day, John Travolta getting a can of paint and a pizza in the opening of Saturday Night Fever ( link ), etc.

Mamoru Oshii's style seems to heavily include this kind of sequences. Your link is from Innocence, right? The original Ghost in the Shell also has a sequence of Motoko simply walking and riding a boat, doing nothing but staring: ▶ this video (I love this movie!)

I hear that. The older GiTS really took its audience seriously. I mean a finale scene that's a conversation about Jameson and similar theories? Heady stuff for an anime. The original movie is one of my all time favorites because it hits such a poignant mood, and it's portrayal of a Hong Kong that's ravaged by climate change and technological advancement that isn't utopic was prophetic imo. Edit: re the last sentence this is the sequence I'm thinking of: ▶ this video
