. After watching it, it gives me a very complicated feeling. The pictures, storyboards, and music are really amazing, and the imagination is indeed right. But—generally all but the previous words are nonsense—I really can’t find anything that resonates with
movies about dreams. I can roughly divide them into two categories in my mind.
The former is more representative of the awake and broken. The space is gone, the dream is continuous, and I even know that I am dreaming. This kind of film needs to explain where the dream came from, just like the dream machine of Inception, the DC mini of Red Pepper. The difference between the two is that the world view of Inception can be justified. The beginning of the dream, the advancement of the dream, and the end of the dream are interrelated. On the other hand, watching Red Pepper, the chaotic logic can’t support such a grand world view setting. Follow the plot, what the plot tells us is what, then you can still watch the whole play smoothly, but don’t think of three words, why ? Once you have this idea, you will find that the entire plot is unreasonable. Here is an example, the policeman fled with a red pepper, the doctor told him to escape to his dream, and then the next scene, Tarzan. Why is this possible? How to escape to your own dreams? The doctor didn't say it, the police just knew. Like religion, the bible says there is a god, why? Because what God said does not need explanation. And so on, the whole article is full, making the viewing process extremely difficult.
Some people say that this is just a dream, which makes no sense.
On this point, I strongly disagree with
me talking about another type of dream movie, Broken.
The representative work Mulholland Road, all the plots are only broken, even absurd. Only after watching the entire film and looking back at the previous plot, will I realize that this was a dream. Mulholland Drive seems absurd, but the entire logic chain is complete, which is what I said to justify it, it will only make people feel that this is how nightmares should be. Mulholland Drive is by far the closest movie to my understanding of dreams.
Looking back at Red Chili Pepper, the author wants to carry too many things, but does not have a complete setting. This is also a common problem of Riman. I like big things, but there is not enough support, which causes the whole plot to be empty and then collapse.
Picture and music are the only two driving forces that support me watching the whole film, but the script always makes me feel as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly, as if stuck in my throat, and I don't spit unhappily.
