Featured review
Anime Excellence
A couple weeks ago I was listening to the soundtrack from a movie called Paprika by Hirasawa Susumu. The music fascinated me, it was magnificent.
I was strongly compelled to watch the movie.
The story is based around a lovely lady named Paprika, she has mastered the ability to sail into others dreams and help them with their problems.... an internal dream analysis/counselor.
I found Paprika the movie is as fascinating as the soundtrack .
Needless to say the dream sequences are exquisitely and vividly portrayed. The pace is manic at times and dreams and reality often converge to confuse the characters and especially the viewer. It all comes together however, in what can only be described as the best closing battle sequence I have ever seen...... period!!! Paprika shines.
Now...I never do, with movies what I did with Parika. Firstly the moment the movie finished, I got another cup of coffee and started it up again. Secondly I wrote this review
And now I'm off to watch it again.
Like anime or not, Paprika is NOT to be missed.
Suggestion, if your not used to subs.... get the dubbed version......this is a fast paced movie and will require some attention.
10/10
