Paprika by Satoshi Kon (2006)
Category: Movies Genre: Animation /Science Fiction Psychotherapy is very much real today, yet in Satoshi Kon's PAPRIKA it climbs up a couple of notches. The DC mini was invented by a young doctor named Dr. Tokita. Like any inventor with a noble cause, Tokita envisioned the device to be a great help in solving problems of future patients. Unfortunately, three of the prototypes were stolen. This is where the trouble begins. Science is a wonderful "gift" to mankind, but once misused, danger not only lurks in one corner...it makes itself known. This is the thrust of the story by Seishi Minakami collaborated with the famous director himself. No one can play God. If he/she tries to be God, he/she will destruct, rather than create. I liked this movie...the merging of dreams...the merging of characters...In the first 45 minutes of the film I was already rating it with three stars, but the last ten minutes convinced me it's a four. This film...
