Paprika - OST - 02 - Nigeru Mono

[@thenorthernplayer5589]

Wow, having only discovered this film in 2024, and seeing all these comments from a decade ago! Its amazing how timeless this film really was, regardless of when we watched it, we all had the same experience, and that is truly a testament to how good this film was. For me, this will always be better than Inception.

[@transcendantviewer]

Have you watched the movie? The entire thing is one long trip. And surprisingly, you like where it leads.

[@keiichimorisato98]

michael scalia that is because the songs that you heard in those moments were different variations of Girl in Byakkoya. the slow version for sad moments, and the fast version for uplift moments. actually nearly every song in Paprika is a variation of the main them of the film "Girl in Byakkoya". he did the same for Millennium Actress where every song was a variation of "Rotation" also known as "Lotus", in the opening of the film, you see that the moon base opens up into a lotus flower making reference to the main theme of the film.

[@transcendantviewer]

Wow. Seems like you really know your stuff.

[@TyroneCLove]

I remember the opening credits and get chills everytime I hear this. This movie is such a beautiful ode to Woman.

[@maplebaconz2122]

It's actually about dualism and how the person we want to be is suppressed to fit into our boring society and is only seen in dreams. I've seen it a few times and I don't really see the 'ode to woman' thing.

[@JC_Revan]

Satoshi Kon worked many themes into his works. Womanhood (especially dealing with the male gaze) and how we hide our "true self" are definitely the two most prevalent ones.

[@archivehans]

@@maplebaconz2122 bro Kon loved using women and the shit they go thru as a massive theme thru out all of his work. Paprika is no different.

[@maplebaconz2122]

@@archivehans Thanks, I'll have to rewatch with that in mind. I wrote that comment back when I had the idea that there was a "correct" interpretation of something. I didn't really know much about women's issues at the time and didn't really see how what little I understood slotted in to Paprika. I still don't think Paprika is an "ode to woman," but womanhood is a part of it.

[@Hereticbliss322]

@@maplebaconz2122 I don’t know who’s been crapping into your brain, but they lied to you. There is, of course, a “correct” interpretation of things. That would be precisely as the creator intended it and viewed through the specific prism that is the sum of his/her experiences.

[@MayFlor93]

I love Susumu Hirasawa work since Berserk. He was incredible in Paprika too!

[@davidy498]

I love his work too, Berserk is what made me love his work, "Run" is better, though.....:D

FYI the actual name of this track is "Mediational Field", not "Nigeru Mono". The track number is correct, as Mediational Field ("Baikaiya" in the original romaji) is the second track but "Nigeru Mono" (translated as "Escapee" on the OST) is the sixth track. I guess someone made a mistake before uploading the OST to the internet to be illegally downloaded and nobody gave a shit about correcting all this. A simple trip to discogs can rectify this, but noooooo....

[@JonasNybacka]

I was wondering why they were calling it Nigeru Mono

[@VirtualRose]

Yknow what at this point, Oscars don't mean anything anymore, you only win when you're just lucky and gets recognition from "certain important people" and that's just pure annoying. I am grateful and happy for anime that got nominated for an oscar but in the end, that's it just a nomination and the other masterpieces that didn't get any recognition sucks but also who needs oscar when you get recognition and love and appreciation from the entire world.
