Paprika

Another mind-blowing Satoshi Kon production.




After watching this movie, i had to slowly come down to earth. That's how good it was.

Well basically this movie involves moving across the boundaries of dreams and reality using a technological breakthrough; DC mini.

Atsuko and her other personality, paprika, are thrown into a bizarre situation when the DC mini is stolen by an unknown perpetrator, who uses it to terrorize people's dreams. The concept of Yin and Yang is also shown in the last part of the movie. Through in a police detective and ta da!

I feel that this movie shows us that we can never escape from reality, and sooner or later we have to face our true feelings. No matter how terrible or wacky it is. Well that's just my opinion though.

Now onto the review.

Plot: Nobody would have ever thought of this. Only Satoshi Kon. Very unique story. 8/10 

Characters: They were interesting and i absolutely love paprika. She's so cute. However only Konakawa's past was revealed, the rest were just left in the dark. 7/10

Graphics: Just amazing. When reality merged with dreams, it was a sight to behold. Very fluid. 9/10

Music: This one may be different for others, but it sounded very sassy and sexy. Just me i guess? 8/10

I couldn't really classify this as romance. But i think it veers more to the thriller/horror, fantasy and sci-fi side. A definite must watch.
