, lousy rotten frogs
, swaying dead fat lucky cats
, and bikini-clad Statues of Liberty
are all marching on the streets!
Will this be an interesting dream?
Brothers who like serious dramas can stop here. This is not a normal person who likes to watch movies. . . But Miss Ben still firmly believes that this is the most talented movie of the year! ! ! The five bodies are devoted to worship - Jin Min's "Papurika", temporarily translated as "Red Pepper". Even if he can't reach the palace level, he is still watching the movie at the entrance of the store~
Anyone who has seen Jin Min with a smile knows that his strong personal style has always revolved around two profound characteristics: the transformation of time and space and the endless running. It's like a sticker attached to his movies. In "Millennium Actress", these two labels are the bones of the story: constantly chasing a nothingness in different spaces. But in this new masterpiece, Jin Min infinitely expands one of the points to form the story itself - the constantly changing time and space, to be precise, it is a dream.
The story itself, compared to his form of expression, can be simply passed over in a single stroke, with a bit of a Matrix feel: a scientific research institution has developed a device that can travel between dreams, but it was used by bad guys to manipulate people's dreams. So the manipulated people began to act abnormally and erratically, and then, more terrifying things began. Dreams poured out of the dream and began to devour the real world. . . .
From this point of view, it is a standard sci-fi film, but it is not so cool that Xiao Lizi plays handsome in black, and there is a cute girl called "Red Pepper" who goes to the world. . . Cute is cute, but not to the point of cuteness. . . Shrug. . . Ah, far away, come back!
I have heard someone say that 3D will replace 2D animation in the future, and after sneering, I think he should come to watch this movie. The beauty of 2D animation and the application of dexterity in this wonderful scene transition are unparalleled. The title sequence alone has made me completely abandon my once-confident imagination. Under the background music full of running sense, and in the city where lights and shadows flicker, the figure of "Red Chili Pepper" is on advertising signs, movie posters, and computer screens. The ubiquitous lightness and beating, the 2-minute title sequence has been completed in one go, which has outlined the style of the film, unlimited space, and can be shuttled.
In the next film, any absurdity is possible: so the scene mentioned at the beginning of the article appears, in the loud music, the army of strange-faced toys slams into a worm-like crawling team, and the hoarse recitation does not The formed slur, in a blink of an eye, the doll's face was twisted into a middle-aged man, and the voice was as sharp as a ghost, and Cult was a little disgusted. I think Jin Min's childhood is probably not very happy, and he can make toys so evil. . . However, it does fit the dream itself, cities can melt, the sky can collapse, toys can eat people, and playgrounds can turn into butterflies. This absurd process is the release process of Jin Mintian. He captured the extreme plasticity of dreams, and made each dream transition smoothly. Coupled with the colorful pictures, the richness of the eyes made me see it at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night. No sleepiness, even if I rewatch it the next day, I feel that a random episode is a wonderful MTV episode. If I were the teacher of Beiying Animation, I would definitely use this as a teaching material for my students to read every day~ Lol
Of course, the master is not allowed to imitate, only to experience. It will
be even better when the dream starts to invade reality at the end~ Excited ! Except for "Red Pepper" turning into Monkey King and making me roll with laughter, the rest are all cult to the end. The dark old man bridge section gushing out from the ground is very similar to Eva. Of course, there are many beautiful shapes in Eva. . . Many scenes were smeared with a strong taste of black comedy. The office workers who were invaded lined up and jumped from high buildings like the classic scene in "Furong". Guanyin Bodhisattva and the Statue of Liberty both put on bikinis and tricks. Wealth cats occupy the street together. The best thing is the evil Japanese doll, which is taller than a building. With one palm and two palms, a building can be disintegrated. King Kong is not so sturdy. . . I didn't like Japanese dolls in the first place, and I won't dare to buy this kind of stuff in the future. . .
Looking back at Comrade Jin Toshi, the introduction is as follows: A famous Japanese animation artist, when he studied at Musashino Art University, he officially entered the animation industry as an art designer for "Old Man Z" in 1990. In 1997, he first served as the director of the animation work "Perfect Blue". The first time I saw him was "Millennium Actress", which was adapted from the original SF novel by Tsutsui Yasutaka. At that time, it gave me a strong sense of shock, but In the next "Tokyo Godfather", Jin Min took a realistic and warm route, which made me uncomfortable for a while, laughing. Obviously, his old man is still more in tune with Tsutsui Yasushi. . . This time, "Papurika" is also based on Tsutsui Yasutaka's novel, so it's not surprising that Xuan's illusion has taken a higher level.
So I don't think it's just a simple SF cartoon, but a mature movie full of Cult flavors, worthy of admiration, eh!
Ps, at the same time, "Papurika" is also the title of a previous Italian pornographic film. I checked that pornographic film and found nothing, so it is unknown why Jin Min used this name (who knows, tell me.. .), but apparently, his old man definitely did it on purpose. . .
