Breathtaking imagination, complex and brain-burning plot progress, absurd and exaggerated reality metaphors, philosophical myths as deep as the sea, bizarre and flamboyant visual images, arbitrary editing and transitions, and breathtaking soundtrack rendering...
A burst of cool animation, you will unconsciously fall into it during the viewing process, just want to immerse yourself in this gorgeous and psychedelic two-dimensional world, any analysis and description of words are extremely pale and cumbersome.
Few words, not evaluation, just thoughts after watching the movie.
Humans invade the dreamland, and desires begin to overflow the boundaries of the subconscious. Without the fig leaf of reason, human beings begin to do whatever they want, and reality falls into madness.
Dreams are the expression of human subconsciousness and the channel through which human beings understand their own desires. Dreams are chaotic and illogical, inadvertently reflecting the hidden desires of human beings.
The most primitive, wildest, and most uncontrolled desire among human desires is sexual desire, which is an instinct for living organisms to survive and live. Sexual desire runs through the film and has even become the most direct driving factor for the main character's behavior.
The red pepper awakens the island director through sex.
Repressed desires have blinded human reason, and in the chaos, human beings choose to indulge in the wild thoughts of desires. Through sex, people enjoy the most primitive pleasure satisfaction, desires are fully vented in the climax, confusing things pour out of the body, reason regains possession of the body and mind, and the brain begins to wake up.
Desires need to be vented, and suppressed desires are twisted into perversions.
The root cause of Chiba Atsuko's depression and personality split is that she can't calmly accept her love for her fat house colleague Tokita, and her indifferent personality makes her constantly suppress her instinctive feelings, and finally splits into a girl who is both pure and amorous. The red pepper that shows an ambiguous femininity with every gesture.
The nature of the little assistant, Ice room, is to be a woman in a kimono that men like, but his actual body is just a fat man with an ugly appearance. On the one hand, Oyamauchi is jealous of Tokita's talent, and on the other hand, he loves Chiba and tries to possess it. But as a decent researcher, he can't put these filthy desires on the table; the chairman is not satisfied with his disabled and aging body, because such a body cannot fulfill his desire to control everything, the chairman's sexual desire It is not only an erotic instinct, but also an externalized expression of a primitive animal's desire to conquer.
Fantasy and lust can't satisfy their growing desires, the comfort of dreams is just drinking poison to quench thirst, and finally, the sexual desires with filthy things grow wildly, reason and morality are driven out of the body, unwilling to face reality, only want to sleep in a lifetime. In the nightmare of brilliance and intoxication.
The difference between Tokita and police officer Fan Chuan from the above is that sexual desire is not the main reason for them to fall into the nightmare, but it is the help for them to break through the nightmare. Tokita's genius IQ and child's mind, comatose in order to avoid responsibility and evade love for Chiba's inferiority; Fanchuan is mainly troubled by the self-blame and guilt of his youth. With the help of Chiba and Chiba, both of them are freed from the curse of nightmare and regain consciousness.
What is special about Fanchuan is that he has never been controlled by the overflowing fantasy desires. When Director Shima, Hiroshima, Tokita, and even Chili pepper are all controlled by dreams, he can always advance and retreat freely in dreams. He knows the difference between dreams and reality, and in the end, when dreams begin to confuse reality and the world falls into madness, he maintains a state of sobriety and reason. Maybe it's related to his pure spiritual desire, or maybe it's just that the plot requires him to stay awake to save people at any time, but it's always good to have sober people in the world.
