	Midnight Eye review: Innocence ('Inosensu: Kokaku Kidotai' - Mamoru OSHII - 2004)
		Innocence features a lot of dolls, and their usage within the format of an animated film raises a host of interesting questions as to the numerous levels of distinction that can be made between the authentic and the simulated.
		Innocence continues in its exploration of this territory, asking what happens if such technology extends not only to the environment but to the individual within it in its search for this ultimate in order and control.
		Only the most argumentative of sorts would claim that Innocence isn't absolutely stunning, boasting such dazzlingly evocative sequences as an eerie doll-burning ritual, a hypnotically staged ambush in a convenience store, the relentless momentum of the gynoid attack and some positively Dali-esque visions in the final quarter.

	Innocence
		Innocence is that state of being inside you which knows/feels/lives as your divine self; that part of you which directly and actively creates your reality from moment to moment.
		Your innocence is a state of empowerment because it is free of limiting belief systems, jadedness, “broken heartedness,” and all the fear/doubt/illusion that accumulates in your life to dull your memory of divine essence.
		Innocence is not the same thing as being naïve or living without boundaries in such a way that others can easily step in and use you to their advantage.

	Innocence Versus Insight
		Innocence is a central concept in human affairs.
		Innocence seems to be a potentially attractive kind of ignorance.
		This innocence often comes at the expense of insight however, and people often prefer to signal that they have the ability to gain insight.

	CNN.com - Date rape: Misconceptions about presumption of innocence - Oct. 28, 2003
		The presumption of innocence is a requirement that applies only to the members of a jury in a criminal trial.
		A related notion regarding the presumption of innocence is that it obligates jurors and potential jurors to believe at the outset that a rape complainant is probably lying when she accuses a defendant of date rape.
		Though "date rape" is not a technical legal term, I use it here to distinguish rapes in which the victim and perpetrator are acquainted with each other prior to the crime, from "stranger rapes," in which the victim first encounters her attacker at the time of the assault.

	Innocence: Ghost in the Shell 2 - film reviews
		Mamoru Oshii’s film Innocence has been making the rounds across various art house theatres in the country, and I’m glad that I was fortunate enough to see it while it played in Minneapolis.
		Innocence plays out like a film noir police procedural, involving a cyborg detective named Batou and his young partner on the trail of several brutal murders.
		The visual style of Innocence is a mixture of cell animation with three-dimensional rendering (largely for backgrounds).

		Innocence is the beautiful or comfortable place where you were, that is only visible from the uglier or uncomfortable place where you are, and not from thence attainable.
		Morality would like to either appropriate innocence to its cause or reject it, but innocence within itself is neither good nor bad.
		It's an intriguing thought that a person who is "found innocent" in a court of law, may also have "lost their innocence" during the grueling treatment of the trial.

	Innocence and the Crisis in the American Death Penalty
		The court held that it was "the State's intentional hiding of exculpatory evidence in the armed robbery case that led to [Thompson's] improper conviction in that case and his subsequent decision not to testify in the instant case because of the improper conviction." The court reversed Thompson's conviction and sentence, ordering a new trial.
		As the issue of innocence became prominent for the American public, those who feared that the death penalty was being weakened reacted with attacks on the very notion of persons on death row being innocent.
		Generally, the emergence of convincing evidence demonstrating a prisoner's innocence should result in his or her release from prison, either through the action of the courts or a pardon by the governor.

	indieWIRE: Growing Pains: Lucile Hadzihalilovic's "Innocence"
		A remarkable sustained allegory, "Innocence" luxuriates in the kind of symbolic imagery one would associate mostly with the fantastic worlds of children's fiction, but with the wherewithal to acknowledge the inherent rot and sinister underpinnings propping them up.
		For 110 of "Innocence"'s 115 minutes we're treated to one of the creepiest fables committed to celluloid: arising from a small, wooden coffin (as in Masonic rites, a symbol of rebirth), a young girl, Iris, is immediately introduced to a strange order at a remote school.
		When "Innocence" concludes on a note of seeming joy and, indeed, positive entry into the adult world, one has to wonder: are Hadzihalilovic's own visions too much for her to follow to the bitter end?

	DPIC "Innocence" List
		The latter form of innocence means that the defendant cannot be legally be convicted of the crime, even if that person was the actual perpetrator or somehow culpable for the offense.
		As the authors of Stanford, In Spite of Innocence, and Cooley agree, reversals, acquittals on retrial, and prosecutorial decisions not to retry cases are not conclusive evidence of innocence.
		Brown’s case was not included in In Spite of Innocence, thus this appears to be one of the unidentified cases in which the Cooley study considered the evidence of innocence to be "relatively weak." Cooley, at p.

	Hollywood, Herod and The Massacre of Innocence (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Because producers know that those who maintain their innocence are more disciplined about the temptations around them, Hollywood sees the quality of innocence as a threat.
		Instantly, my heart sank because she had lost a measure of innocence in that moment, an innocence I was responsible for guarding.

		Innocence most often is a good fortune and not a virtue.

		As the divide in years yawns wider and wider, men opt to seek not only fertility but innocence because it is not offspring they are seeking, rather their own youth.
		I think that innocence is a yearning for what used to come free, but now you have to pay for.
		I agree that it was a mediation on innocence, but not so much on the lost innocence of the narrator who continues to feel discomfort with “girly” situations and who, I think, is comfortable with being a grown-up – despite the feeling of helplessness that we all hope or presume we’ll overcome at some point.

	Innocence \| The A.V. Club
		Innocence adapts Frank Wedekind's 1888 symbolist novella Mine-Haha, Or The Corporal Education Of Young Girls, which takes place at a remote boarding school where every academic ritual is imbued with deep feminine meaning.
		But Innocence spends just as much time watching the girls at play, as they twirl ribbons, hide in dark rooms, look at ponies, invent games with complicated rules, and occasionally pick tall weeds out of the ground and whip each other red.
		Innocence is at its best when Hadzihalilovic lies back and lets the natural weirdness of kids' games carry the film's David Lynch-esque load.

	Innocence - Preview Online
		The first Japanese anime film ever to screen in competition at Cannes, Mamoru Oshii’s Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence, is not really a sequel to the original cult movie: it is, says Sam Connolly, a mind-bending metaphysical essay taking the director’s signature world of humans, cyborgs and dolls one huge step further.
		And, while it is not the first animated film to be selected for Competition in Cannes (indeed, it is not even the only animated film in Competition this year, as a glance at page 16 will confirm), it is certainly the first ‘anime’ film to be so honoured.
		Innocence - which was released in Japan with the word in English as its sole title - follows on from Oshii’s first Ghost in the Shell (1995), a hallucinatory masterpiece that received a lukewarm reception in Japan but was a major hit elsewhere in the world (it topped Billboard’s video charts in the US).

	Bright Lights Film Journal \| Innocence
		Her first feature, it demonstrates a near-perfect integration of story, theme, mood, composition, colour, lighting, camera-placement and -movement, and sound: simply, Innocence is one of the best films of recent years.
		There’s a sense that she is provocatively using images that have become almost taboo (young girls naked down to their underpants at play in the water) to stress that these are images of innocence but for what we as adults (and, in particular, as male adults) read into them.
		As with the earlier scene at the theatre, Bianca demonstrates choice and control, although this whole narrative obviously has a conservative, even politically regressive aspect to it, in its accepting depiction of an inevitable process of the socialisation of young women.
