If the beautiful world created in Hayao Miyazaki's films is like a gift to children, it is pure and beautiful. Na Jinmin's "Red Pepper" is like a story for adults, using animation to show the filth of human nature and the complexity of the world, not only because the technical limitations of the subject matter cannot be made into a live-action film and choose animation, but also because The animated picture may ease the impact of the reality of the story on people, and it is easier to shape the absurdity of the dream. Compared with the complex and brain-burning plot and cool pictures in the 2010 movie "Inception", the frogs playing drums, dancing refrigerators, and grand parade in "Red Pepper" are more like a dream. Absurd as it should be. Compared with other animation works today, "Red Pepper" is more "movie", whether it is the reality of the content, the ups and downs of the plot, or the use of film skills, it is a classic. The transition in the film is the consistent style of director Jin Min. For example, in the opening scene, in Fanchuan's dream, the switch from the performance stage to the virgin forest, and then to the running train, the red pepper hit the gangster on the head with something. Department, switch to the next dream, smash someone with a guitar, then someone runs away, and Fanchuan chases it, and then switches to another dream. These transitions seem to be related, making the transition of the dream smooth. The handling of dreams and reality in the film is also very interesting. For example, when Atsuko went to Bingshi's house and climbed down the ladder to the playground, she was actually controlled and entered into a dream. When she was a girl, it was actually the real world. She was about to fall off the railing of the balcony and almost fell. I believe that many viewers are worried about this. The confusion between dreams and reality makes people's spiritual world and real world face challenges. huge threat.

    It is indeed a divine film. The use of dream philosophy is really superb. It feels more complicated than Inception. Inception is a relatively active story, and the passiveness of this one extends to more complex dreams and reality. The Lord is so amazing, I was stunned when I transformed into a big brother. The tentacles really are the essence of evil. Although I can't analyze anything with my brain, I still prefer this kind of movie with thousands of thoughts in my heart.

    Unrestrained and surrealistic, it places dreams to wander freely in the visual ocean with infinite possibilities of animation. It is about repressed love and dreams, as well as reflections on the nation and modernization. Like Inception, there are sometimes fragmented flashbacks, but inside and outside the dream are different people. "Red Pepper" is not only a avatar, but also a character code of optimism, strength and courage.

Paprika quotes

  • 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.

  • Inui Sei-jiroh: Science is nothing but a piece of trash before a profound dream.
