Review of Paprika
Have you ever watched a movie that when it ends, provoque you to think "OH MY F*CKING GOD.....WHAT THE F*CK DID I JUST WATCH" ? Well, if you haven't, watch Paprika and try to not thinking it. Man, i am the guy who put in my favorite anime Death Leaves and score with a 9 mind game, a literally acid psychodelic trip made movie and her i am, saying that paprika is such a weird movie with a storytelling level house of leaves that shocked me more than the two other movies together. The least i can say, probably you'll need to watch it two or three times,thanks to MAL database, i realized that paprika (the Character) is the alter-ego of another character: if i hadn't search this info, i would probably get confused more than a half of the movie.
The problem isn't the story, really isn't that complicated (except for the konakawa's side plot), the complicated is trying to not loose your mind for all the weird stuff that's going on, one thing after another without rest, you get in a point when you naturally stop to understand the plot and give up letting the bizarreness come to your eyes.
Probably because the point of the plot is scientists getting in dreams and trying to surviving theme, satoshi kon-sensei wanted to put the dreams as realistic as they are in real life, the reason for what the movie is too hard to understand is because the dreams are hard to understand, and all of we have falling in this rabbit hole like complete fools...hehe...hehehaha.....ha...ha....haha....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...
