There is only one kind of true heroism. After knowing the truth of life, you still love it - Romain Rolland

Jin Min is my favorite animation director. The first time I came into contact with Mr. Jin Min's work was "Red Pepper". Movies and delusional agents no less than three times, read his memoir "My Road to Dreaming", and was infected by his unique personality charm.

Personally, I think that the drama of Delusional Agent has many similarities with Jin Min's other work, Red Chili Pepper. It is also based on hallucinations and dreams for creative expression, and it also explains the current situation of Japanese society, which is confusing and illusory. Behind the intention is cruelty and truth.

In the process of watching the movie, I found that this one coincides with Nolan's movie, including memory fragments and Inception.

Running through the core of the play is escapism and confrontation, "You can't escape reality. The idea that you can be saved by escaping is just an illusion. No matter how painful it is, you must face up to reality and overcome it together."
