Definitive proof that Nolan is a plagiarising bastard.

For as vibrant as this film is with its imagery this is dark as hell, which is something I suppose is a norm for Satoshi Kon’s work.

He looks at animation in a different way than what I’m used to. Sure he understands the possibilities that come with the medium in terms of interesting character design and abstract locations. But he also understands the ways at which you can use surrealism in a more naturalistic way. For as confusing as this was at times it always felt intentional and, more than anything, realistic. I wouldn’t even say I was confused, I was just lost. But in a cool way, ya know? 

I think once I rewatch—because I’ve never been more positive that I missed most of the point—I’m sure I’ll love this even more.

inception, directed by park chan-wook

I've often seen praise for animated films that went something along the lines of "it was so good I forgot I was watching animation!" well paprika is the opposite - there is never a single frame that lets u forget that this is animated and that it plans on exploiting the medium to the absolute fullest extent. this whole anime thing? I think get it now.

Colorfully animated and mind-boggling, Paprika succeeds at being a strange and interesting anime film. The amount of energy and action coming out of these visuals is insane, and hard to take your eyes off of. The sound design was genuinely fantastic. It captured the feel of all these loud places and was very detailed. I liked the design of the characters and the settings were just beautiful. The way the story plays out is quite fascinating and cool. I highly appreciated what it was going for. I do wish I could relate or connect with these characters because that’s what’s holding this back from being great for me. I didn’t really like the main character or any of the side characters. It’s not that they were really poorly written, they just didn’t have much of a reason to care for them. Still, this movie is definitely worth watching for its crazy visual style and cool story.

The Matrix walked, so that Paprika could run, so that Inception COULD FLY

here’s the thing:

it’s a good movie and a great concept. but, because it’s heavily focused on dreams, which very commonly can be nonsensical, i have some trouble deciding what of this movie is symbolic and what is just outrageous imagery that Kon has thrown on. (pretty much all of it is really cool and i’m not slighting it but it’s a bit like hitting a moving target.)

PS: Satoshi Kon is a mad genius but have we checked on him recently? is he feeling alright?

It's basically Inception. It's just as cerebral but uses more subconscious, and every character actually feels fleshed out, lending something to the insane shared dream. It's crazy to see it's influence, and makes it admire it all the more.

Ps. One of the best intro scenes to a film I've ever seen. I was completely immersed in the first 4 minutes.

What an asshole I'm, how come I ignored this and didn’t watched it before?

This is my 3rd Kon movie and all I have to say is that he’s really good. Like damn, he rivals Miyazaki in terms of anime directors in my opinion. Like he’s other films me s it’s very surreal. I still need to see Millennium Actress and that’s looks promising too. Also if your wondering if inception copied this. Yeah I see similarities especially with the plot but I see these as two different films stylistically. Anyways great film. Kon is a great director

I love Paprika, the spice. In fact I can make a delicious baked potato with it, you guys should try it once.

I actually did not understand a single piece of this.

Fuck you Christopher Nolan.

The precursor to Inception. A very interesting premise if not a little confusing. But man the Visuals in this movie is incredible!

It’s way better than inception

benim kafam bunu anlayabileceğim kadar çalışmıyo bu sıralar maalesef

Es divertido encontrar las inspiraciones de Inception

Inception before Inception came out.
Random and surreal, but it's not too mind-screwing like "Perfect Blue". Movie's plot was at the time unique but the way it's told makes it slightly confusing, might need to rewatch to understand it better. It's hard to care about any character, no one is particularly likeable.
Nice and colorful visuals. Music is kinda cool and unique too.
Overall, it could be better. It's still good but I expected something more from Satoshi Kon. It just need a little more spice.

my dad was very confused BUT i had a fabulous time

Wtf did i just watch
