"Red Pepper" directed by Jin Min is the one that best grasps the interlaced elements of time and space and the narrative of the screen division in an animated film. The whole story is that the dreams of the characters in the film are constantly changing in reality, and time and space are interlaced very frequently. This puts a high demand on the director's method of grasping the screen division. Jin Min uses his understanding of the screen division narrative very reasonably here, and combines the narrative tracks in two different spaces very well. Whether it is the calm and composed beauty doctor in reality, or the lively and cheerful detective "Little Pepper" in the dream, they are using their actions to tell two stories that seem completely unrelated at first. But in fact, as a person, the director still used a lot of clever lens language to illustrate their unity. Although it may seem messy and disorderly at first glance, Jin Min splits and combines multiple storylines very well, and becomes one at a time. In the story, many characters are portrayed in a two-line depiction of reality and dream. At the same time, with clever time and space interspersed, each character appears full and three-dimensional.
