Four and a half stars

Very early on, I happened to see the introduction of the film on TV, and I thought it was very attractive. However, in 2000, when resources were scarce, I could not find the film, and there were also several films that did not have the same name. It wasn't until I saw the movie introduction again not long ago that I had to see it. There is nothing particularly surprising about the plot, and it is even a bit simple. However, the bizarre imagination and magnificent scene design are exceptional even now. A scene has been borrowed from the American drama Hannibal, and it is indeed a wild imagination.

    Back then, I mustered up the courage to go to the cinema to watch it, because I used to watch these kinds of movies on discs when I was in China. So the visual impact is particularly strong. The colors are intense and poetic.

    #watchhandnote# 2345 Sneak into the dreamland, peep into the subconscious, and have a relationship with the cell hair. The translated name of "Invasion of Brain Cells" is also very spelled. It is more powerful than "Inception", and the depiction of dreams (subconscious) should be surreal! It's amazing to watch again. After 20 years, the visual effects are not embarrassing! It's still very good! (Okay Madonna has a green screen feel, but who says dreams have to be "real"). The transition from the sheet to the desert is wonderful. In 2000, I knew that brain tomography was used to diagnose mental illness. Still thinking about studying, I searched and asked around, and I feel that Whalen's disease was made up by a screenwriter. It's as unreliable as soaking in bleach to make people fade. Okay. The visual effects are extreme, and the weak plot is completely acceptable. Besides, the three killers, the psychiatrist, and the police are all in line with psychological analysis, and there are no bugs. In the classic passage of the glass clipping a knife and cutting a horse, a friend said that people with fine points (obsessive-compulsive disorder) will be afraid of lines and object edges (fantasy about invisible line cutting), so the plot is not even weak.
