My colleague, Farid passed this movie to me, insisting me to watch this movie. Though he didn't watch this movie.. -_- Well, on that time, I has nothing to do so I watched this movie. Wow, this movie has a very deep level of understanding and mostly related to reality and science which I hate, hehehe... I watched this movie for the first time and I didn't understand. So I repeated to watch this movie once again, I finally got it. It's a slightly same with Matrix. I think it is really high recommended to you people to watch.

This movie emphasizes on the people's conscience. This technology allows the doctors, scientists or psychiatrists to find out and study on what the people is thinking. In my opinion, it is really a good invention but it is dangerous one as well. If this device is really created in reality and no one take a good care of it, bad people can use this chance to do something bad on our mind i.e damaging our mind.

Alright, here's the link of Paprika if you are interested to know more information related to this movie. Enjoy ya...
