Paprika (Anime, Japan; 2006)
Since the time of Aristotle, people have been fascinated with dreams. The ability of the soul to perceive without any sensory input had drawn many theories in trying to explain this phenomenon. In an attempt to justify its existence, some philosophers had invoked the work of the Divine. It had been many a time, in various cultures, been the way the Divine Forces used to communicate with mortals. Some had taken the subliminal message or even wild dreams to heart. They would take it as a test of their faith!
Sigmund Freud placed a lot of emphasis on dreams. He often rationalised dream as an expression of the inner suppressed emotions. In modern times, it tends to be looked upon as the a rebooting of the system before it starts operating again the following day.
Anime, animation movies from Japan, typically from manga comics have been gaining popularity beyond the shores of its production. What started off as simple cartoon stories have now evolved into many genres including the adult type. Paprika can be described as a science fiction with a philosophical twist. It kind of blurs the boundary between reality and dream, just like the movie, Inception.
An experimental device used to analyse dreams which is proposed to treat mental illness goes missing. There is an urgent need to retrieve it before it gets into the wrong hands.
