a playable dream

When I was little, I could dream almost every day. I can explore in my dreams, cry and laugh in my dreams, and do everything I want, because I am the master of the dream. Of course, these strange dreams of light and distance finally fade away with the increasing number of marks on the height ruler every year. I think it would be nice if I could remember my childhood dreams. It is best to start from the mother's belly and play all the stored dreams serially. It must be as interesting as a revolving light. The bad news is, I can't. But the good news is that Yuasa can do it. Opening the movie late at night when I can't sleep is like a dream with my eyes open, grotesque and funny, wild and exciting.

Mind Game quotes

  • Nishi: We've gotta leave. It's that or drown.

    Yan: But how?

    Nishi: The boat, of course!

    Myon: The cops'll be looking for us.

    Nishi: So?

    Myon: The Yakuzas'll come after us!

    Nishi: So what! I wanna get out! 'Cos there's so much out there! So many different people, living different lives! Incredibly good guys, bad guys... Folks completely different from us! It's one huge melting pot! See, it's not about success, dying in the streets, who's better, who's not! I just want to be a part of it! I realized that even if I've no connections, no talent, even if I'm one big loser, I want to use my hands and feet to think and move, to shape my own life! We can just die here or we can try, see what we've got!

  • Nishi: This roller-coaster you're trying to stop is a genuine Angel Express. And I can see you moved to tears as you watch that mystic angel spread its wings and disappear into the sky. OK?

    Yakuza boss: The fuck?
