The girl who travels through dreams

At the circus performance, the detective was transformed by the host into a cage in the center of the stage. A dozen people rushed into the stage, and everyone had a face exactly like him. The detectives who fled in the squeeze cage to escape these people found themselves falling off the stage. As the scene turns, a woman wearing animal skins is holding him in one hand, climbing the vine with the other, whistling across a jungle... This is a police detective's dream, and the red-haired woman in the dream is Pabrika.

I have been looking forward to it for a long time before watching "Inception", and that dazzling trailer has been seen many times-the girl named Pabrika has red hair and walks through illusions one after another. The unbelievable scenes constantly appearing in the trailer are more attractive than smooth pictures. Unexpectedly, the first three minutes of the movie actually made me feel like I was still watching the trailer, and I was even excited because I thought the whole movie would go on in such a confusing way. At least, this is the first time I was watching a movie and was burnt to my fingers by a cigarette butt, a new cigarette.

The story is gorgeous, but not complicated. A mental illness treatment facility has developed a device that can record dreams, called mini DC. However, when the instrument was not completed, there was a loss event. In order to prevent criminals from using it to control human thinking, members of this organization began to look for the lost instrument, but it was too late.

In the last scene of the movie, the detective came to the theater, and the three theaters were showing "Mimino no Buya", "Millennium Actress" and "Tokyo Godfather" (three movies previously filmed by Minami Toshi). My heart is warm. Compared with these three movies, "Inception" combines personal thoughts and business more perfectly-at the climax of the whole film, the army of dreams turned into the city by people who are constantly being abducted rushes to the city, reality and Dreams converge here, and the city is quickly swallowed...I wonder if Jin Min has used this scene to simulate the battle between his ideals and business reality?

Just like the "Agent of Delusion" that many people felt they couldn't understand three years ago, "The Detective of Inception" once again aimed at people's psychological activities. Although the idea of ​​characterizing into a dream is not new, and the dual personality in the film also has the meaning of Zhuang Zhou’s Mengdie, Jin Min’s "smart" this time lies in simplifying the story and reasoning. After all, he is still the man and the horror king. The battle of "Who enters whose dream" is far less complicated and interesting than "The House of Wei Ma". This is not a David Lynch-style illogical equation. This is just a banquet for the eyes, especially the dream part. Pabrika even once became the Monkey King (not the Saiyan Sun Wukong, but the Monkey King Monkey) And Sphinx: The imagination of this movie is amazing. In alluding to society, Jin Min is also merciless. In addition to the various delusional patients in the film, a large number of Japanese social diseases are displayed in a colorful way in the climax part of the film: office workers standing in a row jump from the top of the building with the classic scenes in "The Lotus on the Water" The heads of female high school students in school uniforms and skirts turned into huge mobile phones, and the boys who were also mobile phone heads knelt under their skirts. The camera of the mobile phone was aimed at the girl’s legs and the shutter blasted wildly...

The title of the film is translated as "Red Pepper" in China, roughly because "paprika" is the name of a kind of pepper, but also because the pornographic director Dindo Ballas once had a film of the same name that has been translated as "Red Pepper" . Taking into account the original author Yasuo Tsutsui's most famous work "The Girl Who Traveled Through Time", I might prefer to call this movie "The Girl Who Traveled Through Dreamland". This is the first movie I've seen this year that I'm willing to score 10 points. Friends who will be disappointed after watching it, please don't blame me, because most people haven't watched it yet, and many things can't be said now...In short, 2D animation is really beautiful.

Paprika quotes

  • Himuro Kei: The sun during midday will light up the dark night. Night dreams of day. Light dreams of darkness. But the ignorant sun will chase away the darkness... and burn the shadows, eventually burning itself! The shade of the tree with the flowers that bloom at night is where the residents of darkness rest. The people of daytime are not allowed!

  • Random Dolls: This is a foolish place to be... to inquire about the master of this dream. The conceit of the daytime residents is what the nighttime residents want. To come in carelessly is like a moth to a flame.
