A general summary of how I feel about this movie. In fact, I heard about this movie a long time ago, but I haven't seen it, until today I found out that it is so-so good! ! Not to mention the various echoes of the story content, pay tribute to some old movies, various OPs, the details are not to be said, and the scene transitions are also super fairy! So much so that after reading the resources on station B, I searched for other versions (English matching) and brushed it again. In fact, some of the content lines on station B are relatively vague (perhaps for the sake of review), but the lines in the English version are much clearer and easier to understand the details.
The story begins with the dream of the police officer Fanchuan, revealing that the red pepper is a character who helps solve mental problems (the opening op actually shows that the red pepper is not a real person).
It was followed by the scene where Atsuko met Tokita and learned that three samples of DCmini were stolen. They converged with the director and went to the chairman together. During the conversation, the director was talking nonsense. In fact, it depicted the picture of the dream parade behind. Although the music of the parade is cheerful, you can easily understand that the joy is very absurd (the words have never been I understand why those dolls, including Bingshi, have been posing with Nazi salute). “The sun during the day illuminates the darkness every night, and the dream at night is day, and the dream when it is bright is darkness. But the sun, which knows nothing, buries darkness, burns shadows, and burns itself out sooner or later” (Man Occasionally speaking, day and night actually correspond to real dreams).
After learning that the ice room had not come for a long time, Atsuko, Tokita, and Koyamachi went to the ice room's house to investigate. Check out the details of the ice house. The Japanese version is not marked on the B station, but the British version is marked. Xiao Shannei saw a magazine on the bookshelf. Every time the space distorts the picture, I am shocked), and there is a picture of Tokita on a small robot (also in the dream). When Atsuko checked the wardrobe and climbed down, a blue butterfly flew by. Atsuko jumped over the railing to grab the doll but almost fell off the building (caught by Xiao Shannai). In fact, the blue butterfly is a foreshadowing. Combined with the following plot, it is not difficult to understand that the blue butterfly actually symbolizes the spiritual dream (in my opinion) (and in fact, the other two people who own DCmini at this time have already begun to try to manipulate people. Spirit, I also said later that in fact, Atsuko almost fell from the building because Xiaoshan Nei had already manipulated Atsuko).
After discovering that the robot on Tokita's clothes corresponds to the playground seen by the Hiashi family, Atsuko and Tokita went to the abandoned playground and saw the doll sitting on the stairs again. When they were about to pass, the red pepper reminded Atsuko to be careful. At this time, the ice chamber fell.
When the police officer Fanchuan came to find the director, there was a painting in the conversation room, and the painting was of the Sphinx and Oedipus (the specific meaning is not detailed, and I don’t know much about it. Later, the oil painting appeared again in the plot)
On the way the director sent Fanchuan back, the director inserted their conversation again (the detail is that when the director appeared, there were always green plants around). Afterwards, Fanchuan felt uncomfortable driving. One detail was that all the people in Fanchuan's eyes were boys, including the promotional poster of the movie that he saw later, which was the movie that appeared at the end of the film. There were only two boys and no girls. (Guess that it may hint at the plot of gay men? It is to imply that there is a relationship between Xiaoshan and the ice room)
Atsuko realized that the situation was a bit serious, but Shitian continued to work on DCmini regardless of himself. After Atsuko reprimanded him, he hurried to make an appointment with Fanchuan.
Fanchuan and Red Chili met on the radioclub website. When talking about the movie, Fanchuan acted very covertly, and Red Chili led him out of the radioclub. There was a movie street outside. Into the second dream. It is worth mentioning that the second dream began to change, and the first two sentences of dialogue changed, one was "the axis of the camera", and the other was "the 'pan focus'", these two sentences indicate the beginning of the dream. disorder. Fanchuan landed in an elevator. Red Pepper opened the elevator layer by layer. The elevator number corresponds to Fanchuan's age (1-54). At 17:00, Fanchuan pressed it and didn't want to open the door. At this time, except for Red Pepper and himself, the others People have blurred faces. When all the elevator numbers turned into 17 and the door opened, he rushed over this time and reached the door. He saw the victim's face clearly, it was himself, that is to say, he killed himself, the other self (referring to film-loving self).
The above is interspersed with pictures of Tokita preparing to save the ice room, but he was addicted to it. The dream puppet said that the dream was connected with the dream, and the dream overlapped, indicating the following plot.
Red Chili Pepper began to interpret Fanchuan's dream and asked him what "axis and focus" meant. At this time, the parade that should have appeared in Tokita and Hiashiro's dream broke in. The dreams began to overlap.
Atsuko rushed back and wanted to enter the dream to wake Tokita, and entered the place behind the fragment, which was the dream in the hills. Notice! When the red pepper was about to go down the hole, it was only after walking past that the little elf that the red pepper turned into appeared! The explanation actually starts from here, and the timeline of the dream has begun to converge!
The red pepper entered the hole full of tree roots (it is not difficult to find out the first few times, the plant representative director), so the mastermind behind the scenes is actually the director. After discovering and encountering danger, the red pepper asked the director to wake her up quickly.
Then Atsuko opened her eyes (actually this is still a dream, because when she found out that it was the chairman, a blue butterfly flew by, it was a dream within a dream. So she still didn't wake up), and the director went to the chairman to talk about the matter The details of the car window are well received, and it fits the image expression very well with the content of the dialogue (Jin Min is simply crazy about details, there are many such small details in the movie).
When confronted with the chairman, the chairman came out from behind the bushes, the lower body was a tree root, and the director also became a small mountain. The chairman's speech indicated that he was the mastermind, and also explained how the parade came into being. Atsuko found that he had turned into a red pepper before waking up, and the escape scene at this time paid tribute to "The Shining". Atsuko couldn't wake up (to be honest, the part where the branch went through the wall made me sick and got goosebumps). After several escapes, the red pepper finally turned into a clown and mixed in the parade, and saw herself just after entering the dream, so she quickly escaped, but it was too late, she was taken into the next dream, the dream in the hills.
There was actually a sentence with a huge amount of information when talking to Xiao Shannei (the translation at station b did not explain it, maybe I was afraid of not being tried, but just said "Xiao Shannei and Bingshi exchange bodies"; in fact, the English version "for DCmini" pretended to be gay and had a relationship ). Oyamauchi said that "it is already possible to invade the mind while awake" (foreshadowing).
On the website, Fanchuan borrowed alcohol to relieve his worries, and told the two waiters about the story of "17" (the details will not be detailed). Going out is the second time the Dreamland Red Pepper brought him to the movie street. The difference is that the first movie picture on the left is no longer the Joker, but Xiao Shannai and Red Pepper. After entering, the three dreams overlapped.
It is suspected that after the red pepper is torn open in Xiaoshan, the dream and reality can meet, and the real meeting may be still to come. Fanchuan rescued Atsuko and returned to his dream under the direction of the director. At this time, the third dream overlapped with the first, and they began to echo! He was knocked down by a tree branch while pretending to be an ape, and the person in the carriage was Xiao Shannai. When he finally returned to the corridor, Fanchuan looked straight into his heart, faced the past and fulfilled his wish, and shot Xiao Shannai. Then he "kissed awake" Atsuko, and the director was slapped hahahahaha.
I thought this was the end, but! Dream and reality are completely blended! The soul of Koyama fell in front of Atsuko, the body of Koyama on the chairman's side also fell, the space began to distort, and all the things in the dream came to reality. People became part of the parade, and two club attendants came.
When Atsuko escapes from the oversized doll and saves the director, the red pepper appears. Atsuko decided to save Shitian (then was eaten...), Shitian said that the seasoning red pepper (real) was about to rush over when he saw the red pepper, and the two waiters rushed him into the elevator of the building, and Atsuko's soul body appeared. again! call! answer! ! Atsuko pulls out Tokita at the beginning! After seeing it, the red pepper smiled and said that Atsuko had a good dream (corresponding to what Atsuko said before, I haven't dreamed much recently)
The chairman became the boss, and the red pepper "should use women to deal with men", and go back to combine with Atsuko Tokita's soul? All the dreams of the chairman were sucked away, and everything in the dream disappeared. (Director Fanchuan looked at it with a confused face hahaha)
The story is very satisfactory at the end, but the funniest thing is that when Fanchuan opened the website, the two waiters had band-aids on their faces and plaster on their arms, and the injuries were symmetrical (too much hahahahaha), too cute! ! I have to say that Jin Min is really cute!
Frankly speaking, the style of this 2006 film really satisfies me, a picky person. Although some people say that Jin Min doesn't pay attention to this aspect, he is more realistic. "Red Hot Chili Pepper" is also a montage-style scene change that he is used to in the transition, and sometimes he can't keep up with his eyes. Unlike other animations, he pays more attention to narrative, and the art is more realistic.
The movie in 2006 was made like this. The standard is really high. It is not inferior to other live-action suspense movies. It is very beautiful.
