how can i describe this?
Paprika
Um grupo de cientistas desenvolve um dispositivo que permite monitorar os sonhos das pessoas, porém um desses dispositivos desaparece, o que coloca todos em alerta pois tal dispositivo em mãos erradas pode ser um perigo sem precedentes. Utilizando do campo dos sonhos e com um pano de fundo psicanalista, esse filme ganha muito quando se dedica ao seu aspecto mais forte que é abraçar a fantasia e mostrar como ela invade o mundo real e cria uma salada de idéias e conceitos que encantam e preenchem a tela, só é uma pena que o filme sinta a obrigação de contar algo mais "íntimo" e profundo por meio do mundo dos sonhos o que dilui um pouco do teor fantástico, meio que uma obrigação em ter um uso imediatista e catártico para sua ferramenta lúdica. Mas ainda sim um bom filme de fantasia.

Um filme bom, a parte em que ela fala que a internet e o sonho são parecidos me deixou pensativo.

The way this handles the struggles of escapism is fascinating, and the exploitation of that desire is so inspired. Out of inferiority and an insatiable need to accumulate power, out of a yearn for self-expression that's been crushed under societal hierarchies and expectations, out of fear of their true selves; remarking how dangerous it is when these lines blur between escapism within dreams (and the internet) and reality and one loses the ability to differentiate the two. And, much like Her, this part of the messaging of Paprika has unfortunately aged like wine with how delusional and completely fried people have become through the algorithmic dismantling at the hands of generative AI/LLMs and social media microcosms (namely manosphere content creators and conspiracy theory peddlers). I had a hard time really caring about/understanding the relationship between Atsuko and Tokita at the end (and for them to get married???). Mostly because there's no real precedent set at any point in the movie (that I can remember) that there's anything even mildly beyond platonic between them. Even her remark of "It's not the outside that counts, but there's a limit to that too" by Atsuko implies that even if she did find something to love about him that his external self was too much for her, so how is there an acknowledged limit from her point of view but then the limit doesn't exist? idk it was very confusing, and for a character whose constantly tasked with saving mens' asses throughout this whole movie and cleaning up the messes made by them, it feels misplaced and leaves her character's resolution sort of deflating. I really need to rewatch this because there's so much left to unpack thematically and visually. Satoshi Kon was taken from us far too soon. May Christopher Edward Nolan be cursed to a life of box-office & critical failures for the sloppy, stripped-down fraud of a film that Inception was. You cannot hold a candle to Mr. Kon, you fucking dweeb
