      Paprika--Inception And The Red Hot Chili Peppers

      The naive, romantic imagination of the story and its wonderful, amazing, suspenseful changes; the richness and completeness of the expression are very high, and the naive journey is full of creativity; Pirates of the Dream Detective: Dreams intervene, superimpose, and create wonderful designs. The only thing lacking is the rationality and logic of the dream structure. It is not very complete, and the design that finally breaks into reality is more of a childish romantic dream. Just like...

      people living in an unreal world

      The soundtrack at the opening of the movie, as if a woman was muttering to herself, dreaming about herself. At the end of the film, there is a pier, a cold female intellectual, which makes people afraid to approach, and Paprika, who is gentle and considerate, is two extremes.

      The plot of the film revolves around the DC Mini, an invention that can share dreams. The DC Mini is used by malicious people to implant chaotic dreams into the brains of normal people and make people...

      who I am

      Cruel naked beauty and pleasure intertwined

      After watching it, it's like a dream, I quickly forget the specific plot, leaving only a feeling

      Or, unwilling to remember, unwilling to recall, unwilling to think, unwilling to suffer

      How real can a dream be? Why don't we admit that dreams are real?

      Fiction is true the way number is true

      Reality is relative. There are things that look real and real, which are based on human physiology. There is mathematics and...

      Chiba and red peppers combine to control the dream

      The you in the dream is the real you.

      It's hard for me to fall asleep today because of the unreal movies, and even more because of the powerless reality.

      I don't know what would happen if everyone had a nightmare? I would wake up startled and force myself to fall asleep, changing the direction of the dream. I admit that such a dream is very awkward, but it is better than a cruel dream mirror. Just like at the end of the movie, Chiba changed the image of Gao Leng and embraced the...

      [Film Archive] The confirmed fact is that this animation is limited to the original work, which makes the introduction and ending of the story very difficult. Tsutsui Yasutaka's original work is also written at the back and high, although this does not affect me. Love for this work; Pabrica and Inception are not actually the same type of movie at all, except for that concept; another fact that has been confirmed again is that Toshi Kon's highest level work is Mima's...

      1. Jin Min's posthumous work. Regarding dreams, it is deeper than Pirates; reality may be the shadow of dreams. 2. The sheriff's movie's strangulation of the dream, the director's conspiracy, Tokita's simple idea, the greed of urban human nature, etc. mixed into reality and turned the clouds and rains. 3. Chili peppers are just a fictional illusion of maintaining world peace: Science may be nothing more than a pile of rubbish compared to far-reaching...

      The beauty of animated films is that they can achieve a height of imagination that cannot be achieved by real shooting, even in the later stages of HTC. Jin Min is one of the directors who can well define this context. It says that reality comes from fiction, and reality is also a kind of dream. It gently accepts the many weaknesses of the world and people with colors, softens them together, and returns to the origin of...

    Background creation

    The fantasy adventure story told in "Paprika" has aroused the interest of many film directors. They all thought about putting this story on the big screen. However, considering that there is really no way to inject the magic of Tsutsui Yasuo into the novel. Imagination becomes a visible picture-the story itself is made up of countless dreams, so this novel has a title of "a novel that cannot be made into a movie" in the field of film.
