Blog Post #3 - Paprika

The animated film Paprika the closest cinematic experience I've ever had that's felt like death. Not because watching it made me want to die, but I am just assuming that's what you see if you end up in Hell. I enjoyed the film, but epileptic people probably would not.

This movie embodied no culture, bedsides the obvious Japanese anime editing qualities. It really wasn't a stereotypical plot line, but just more of existential in a different world with the interactions of different characters. The animations and transitions were so creative, it was pretty much a big "F*ck you" to all animation competitors. For the viewer, the story and plot line became slowly irrelevant as the animations are so mesmerizing it becomes an incredible experience for the viewer.
