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 do crazy actions.
DC mini was invented by Tokita. The original intention of his invention was to have the same dream as his friend. From the side, this idea seems to be that real life is not friendly to him, even the best friend can't in real life. Honest and relative, that's why I came up with this dreamy idea, to be the real self in the dream.
At first glance, Shitian looks like an obese otaku. In today's society, where most people are judged by their appearance, people like Shitian will naturally be marginalized, so Shitian feels like a big child. He is immersed in In his own world, there are very few parts that are contaminated by society.
It may be because of his love for Xiaodun that he came up with this invention. Xiaodun completely hides his character in real life and is extremely defensive. The whole movie seems to be only in front of the dark elevator, with his side face attached to him. Only when Tian back is real, gentle and kind.
Shitian may have appeared DC mini just to see such a small pier. As expected, Paprika, the incarnation of Xiao pier in the dream, is the real self.
And the police detective in the movie, because the work pressure is too high, uses the DC mini to relieve the pressure. It could be the arrival of a midlife crisis, doubts about where you are and your job. He seems to have forgotten why he wanted to be a policeman. When he was young, he should have had other dreams. He used to deny the past and kill the past self to achieve the effect of recognizing the present self.
Paprika helped the detective find his past self in the dream, and knew that his present life is what the past brought him. If he kills the past self, the present self will not be able to survive.
People will always get lost when they walk. They must not forget who they were when they set off in the past, so that they can get lost in the chaotic life and finally become a walking corpse without a soul.
May everyone not forget their original intentions, and return as the young man who is chasing the wind!
