Paprika (2006)


This is a really cool movie. Did you see Inception? Well, these guys did it first - and in a cartoon. I actually checked to see if there was a credit to Paprika on the "writing" section of Inception on IMDB, but I didn't see one. There are tons of memory issue movies, and so I guess dream movies are picking up the pace.

Visually this is one of the most amazing movies I have ever seen - during the first half I was enthralled. We have people lost in a dream, crazy dialog, a parade of refrigerators, and tons of movie references! Woo hoo! I love movie references in a film. By the second half, I didn't care whose dream it was, if it was a dream within a dream, etc. I knew who the bad guy was (even if you don't get the movie references, you will have seen this villain plot-line before). I was also bored with Inception after an hour, but this movie is shorter and tighter. It also has adult content. Interesting - I recommend it for Anime fans, Inception fans, and people who have seen it all.
