| Welcome movie goers to our tenth Movie of the Week. This week's feature is Paprika from my favorite anime director: Satoshi Kon. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0851578/?ref_=fn_tt_tt_1 MAL said: In the near future, a revolutionary new psychotherapy treatment called PT has been invented. Through a device called the "DC Mini" it is able to act as a "dream detective" to enter into people's dreams and explore their unconscious thoughts. Before the government can pass a bill authorizing the use of such advanced psychiatric technology, one of the prototypes is stolen, sending the research facility into an uproar. In the wrong hands, the potential misuse of the device could be devastating, allowing the user to completely annihilate a dreamer's personality while they are asleep. Renowned scientist, Dr. Atsuko Chiba, enters the dream world under her exotic alter-ego, code name "PAPRIKA," in an attempt to discover who is behind the plot to undermine the new invention. The Unappreciated Anime Club numbly presents Paprika: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQfHiJdk-40 This one also cuts out the coolest opening credits ever, so when Kosaku says, "Just a humble bounty hunter, Ma'am." watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofSLCFxJ8Jo SPOILER ALERT! As usual, should you or any of your IM forces be caught or killed beyond this post, this agency will disavow any knowledge of spoilers. |

| Yep, another one added to my list. |

| Yeah, that's Satoshi Kon, Brian. He loved to mess with your head. I really wished he had lived long enough to make lots more stuff. |

| "I told you. My name's not Kaka anyone." "I am the hope of the universe. I am the answer to all living things that cry out for peace. I am protector of the innocent. I am the light in the darkness. I am truth. Ally to good, nightmare to you!" |
| First time I watched Paprika, I thought it was trippy, artistic but confusing. I watched the US Dvd release in English. Since then I have watched it again and it was much more understandable. My advice is too watch it more than once! |
| Yeah, it's confusing the first time. You never fully get Satoshi Kon's stuff the first time through and this one isn't his best. |

| I'm definitely going to have to watch this one. |
| If strength is justice, then is powerlessness a crime? |
| Heard some of the soundtrack, the music is kinda unusual, but interesting. |
| Ike Ike Go Go Jump My Shamu!! My Candies: |
| It is. I'll have to see if I can find that. |

| paprika is awesome , it is one of the movies I can atch with my friends that are not really fond of anime and they would still like it , the animes version of inception ! :) |
 |
| Really, that's good. |
| Ike Ike Go Go Jump My Shamu!! My Candies: |
| I love Leonardo DiCaprio, my favorite actor easily. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g58pbxh_Exg Inception indeed had some ideas inspired by Paprika but I feel Inception was executed better, and was just overall better lol |

| It's one of my favorite anime next to Bebop. Saw it at my uncle Steve's house.We first started to watch a very cliched fantasy anime but then switched over and it blew my mind. Everybody else in the room looked exhausted. |

| Hee hee! I could see where Paprika could do that to you. If you liked Paprika you might want to try Movie of the Week #2: Mind Game. |
