Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

This is a good anime movie but it can have weird moments if you are not fully use to Japanese or mature movies. For example we see Morio and Seijiro merge into one body while having too heads and in another Morio inappropriately touches Paparika when she is tied up and even puts his hand right through her jeans, up her shirt and rips off her face to reveal Atsuke on that side note she is seen naked and you might see her nipples and breasts. Although Paparika's origin was never revealed in this movie. I kept on wondering how did Atsuke gain the ability to change into Paprika. The music beautiful and memorable and the voice actors were good. This is definitely one of Cindy Robinsons good projects. If you want something mature in terms of anime movie I would recommend you check this out.

A whimsical and incredible man made anime.The soundtrack, graphic style, content, music perfectly matches with the theme, deliver such a whimsical feel as well as hauntingly thoughts. I have watched so many Japanese's animes and I have learned that they are good at making complicated and uncomplicated things happens at the same time. The movie is not only breaking everyone's imagination but also limits, abilities, leaving the audiences in the confusion of not knowing what's actually real.When you think about it, this plot is kind of similar to 'Inception' US movie, but with higher graphic feels and more whimsical scenes, Papurika has pushed this concept of dreams up to a new level.I'm not a really good at writing but I have forced myself to compliment something on this fascinating movie. This anime is incredibly well made and once again I want to bow myself in front of Japanese dedication..

Paprika (2006) is what we can call a good fusion between psychology, philosophy and animation.So, what makes Paprika be a masterpiece of cinema and Japanese animation? Of course that it is the flawless depicting of a world full of freedom, imagination and creativity, like "Dream". Similar to another masterpiece, Sandman by Neil Gaiman. Both, Kon and Gaiman, were capable of making dreams come true. To read the graphic novels of Gaiman or watch the delightful psychedelic Kon's movie, is like diving into another reality that reflects our weakness, sins and evils, but also our great qualities while human beings, as our courage to stand up before the unknown or nihilism (our lack of meaning to life).Like a real dream, we don't want to see the end of the film, 'cause the end of a dream is when we wake up to "reality". In other words, waking up is like putting an end point in a long journey through a world of dreams, and face the cruel, dry and uncolored reality. Just like has done king Oedipus when facing his misfortuned destiny (killing his father and marrying his mother, as prophesied by the clairvoyant).

I feel like Paprika is almost criticism-proof. Any bad thing I have to say about it can be attributed to intention. The dialog is poor, plot points pop out of nowhere, and logic is thrown out the window. But this all seems to be adding to the mood, a dream-like movie that doesn't follow reality.But I just don't see the point of this accomplishment. Its weird for the sake of being weird...so? That leaves no impression on me. It could have been any random assortment of images and be just as effective. I can't love a movie through mood alone.At least it was an interesting sit, with fine animation and plenty of bizarre action. If you're into this kind of style-over-subsistence, then you may love it. For me, its more forgettable than amazing.
