I think this movie was alright. The story was pretty good. It brushed upon some aspects of psychology and the causality effect of our choices. The characters aren't too bad and they could represent some typologies. Their thoughts, expressed through their speech, do offer us some hints of philosophy of life. And might even contain some small pearls of wisdom. I think it's worth a watch and an afterthought. Enjoy! :)

In China, now, they can make some fun films, like this one. This is still a Commie film (censored), but at least it doesn't contain the pro, gay, trans, racism that we see from Chinese owned Hollywood.

It's a fun story. Good special effects. The editing could have been improved, maybe, and there should have been better romance and chemistry to make it a really good film.

This was quite an original film, the characters were good and kept you engrossed. The story was unique I haven't seen this dream types of films since inception or Freddie kruger. It was a very fantastical story which I enjoyed. Who wouldn't want to dream of gold and money. But there's always a price.

Screenwriters make the movies & the creative process is still a mystery.

Barton Fink comes to mind as another of those process/wierd slice of life about a screen writer movies.

This has a much more fantastical element in it. THe premise about a "dream guardian" is an interesting point. How many times have you awoken holding that treasure from the dream & it just evaporates as full consciousness returns.

I like the imagery of the fish in the bowl & later of the fish all alone in the huge tank by itself. Several themes running through this flic & musing on the ideas with repeated viewings seems worthwhile imo.

Curious about the bad guys saying they are checks to 'correct' your world view & how violence will always shadow existence like breathing needed worth checking out. Be interesting to see Nightmare on elm street see how much this has taken from it in a back to back session.

I'm far from an expert on Chinese cinema, but I've seen a bit - but I've never seen anything quite like this. It started off interesting, stayed that way fo a while, and finished off even better.
