"Red Pepper" is the name of the protagonist, Paprika. The title is quite misleading, making it easier to think of "Red Sorghum" rather than "Inception". In fact, this film is an imaginative science fiction animation. Most of the scenes and stories take place in dreams. In fact, no one can tell which are dreams and which are reality.
As soon as the film opened, it was amazing. A toy car drove up. I thought it was still playing the film maker's logo. Who knew it was the feature film. The biggest highlight of the film throughout the beginning and the end is the imaginative fantasy dreamland. Dreams are the reflection of reality in the brain. At the same time, they are extreme, exaggerated, and gorgeous. They reflect ideals, fantasies or desires that cannot be realized in reality. The dream of this film is full of imagination, but also draws on or pays tribute to many classics: I recognize Greek mythology, Andersen’s fairy tales, "Tarzan of the Apes", "Roman Holiday", and after the Chernobyl nuclear leak. Scenes, etc. At the end of the film, Jin Min also put his three previous works "Tokyo Godfather", "Millennium Actress", and "Mima's House" in it, and gave him
The basic storyline is that in the future there will be a machine "micro DC" that can watch and dive into the dreams of others, and the theft of three "micro DCs" has caused many people's dreams to be invaded, and then behaved as weird and destructive. Sleepwalking caused confusion. When the director of the Institute was sleepwalking for the first time, he was full of meaningless nonsense, which made me think it was crazy. Unexpectedly, the film then showed the scenes described by these nonsense. It is not a whimsical idea.
The next episode is that Red Pepper as a "dream detective" repeatedly sneaks into the dreams of others to try to capture the terrorists who steal the machine, thus launching a series of fantasy adventures. The voice actor of Red Pepper is Lin Yuanhui who voices the female Ranma, Ling Boli, and Hui Yuanai. Her calm and crisp female voice is very characteristic. When you close your eyes, you will feel as if you are sorrowful.
However, this film is not only used to show the fantasy dreamland and the voice of Huiyuan Ai, the Japanese have a strong imagination and are also a pioneer of thinking. The following may be slightly spoiled, here is a reminder.
As mentioned earlier, dream is a reflection of reality in the human brain, and it is a distorted and exaggerated reflection. Everyone has their own unfulfilled desires, and everyone has their own insurmountable psychological barriers. The girl loves vanity, the troll guy’s trivial habit, the staff’s resentment towards the boss and the desire for promotion, the nihilism of religion and belief, and even the self-division of the main character Chiba’s “fight club” style, Todada’s unfounded advances and retreats, Fenchuan The police officers’ past events, and the boss’s desire to control with the excuse of "the science and technology learned by the lost are to be destroyed" are all magnified in their dreams. However, the mini-DC has the possibility of fusion between humans and human dreams, so that these problems collide with each other and explode great destruction. Just as the huge parade in the climax of the film chanted "A mediocre world must vent its anger", even mediocre people can do whatever they want in their dreams, but it is difficult to maintain a clear understanding. In the end, the whole world is dreaming, and the dreaming brain can still direct the behavior of the body. As a result, dreams and reality are completely blurred, causing huge damage.
But what Jin Min wants to reflect in reality with the help of this future dream burst out in reality. The girls, trammen, employees, religious beliefs, etc. mentioned above are the most obvious social problems in Japan today. The highly suppressed Japanese social environment and culture have caused these distortions. While reflecting and satirizing these distortions, the film also uses the stories of several protagonists to express the hope of self-salvation and mutual redemption.
