HOLLYWOOD MOVIES ON DREAMS
Dreams are generally that part of our life which we look at when we are not able to fulfil something in real life. We generally think dreams doesn’t have any link with our real life but that’s not true. Whatever we think, see and spent time with generally conquer our dreams too, so even our real life play a vital role in building our dreams. Everyone dream of something in their personal life and when we fail to do so, it makes a home in our mind and become a dream. We try to get success in the same thing through our dreams and we try to follow it in our imaginations.
Let’s have a look at some movies based on dreams and imaginations:-
INCEPTION:-
Acclaimed film-maker Christopher Nolan directs an international cast in this sci-fiction action that travels around the globe and into the world of dreams.
Dom Cobb is the best there is at extraction: stealing valuable secrets inside the unconscious during the mind’s vulnerable dream state. His skill has made him a coveted player in industrial espionage but also has made him a fugitive and cost him dearly. Now he may get a second chance if he can do the impossible: inception, planting an idea rather than stealing one. If they succeed, Cobb and his team could pull off the perfect crime. But no planning or expertise can prepare them for a dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move – an enemy only Cobb could have seen coming.
PAPRIKA:-
Based on a novel by the noted Japanese science fiction writer Yasutaka Tsutui, the brilliant and unsettling feature Paprika is an exploration of the disturbingly permeable boundaries between dreams and reality.
Techno-geek Kosaku Tokita invented the DC Mini to allow therapists to enter a patient’s dreams and explore his unconscious, but an evil cabal uses the Mini to create a mass nightmare that causes multiple suicides. Psychotherapist Atsuko Chiba uses her alter-identity, “dream detective” Paprika, to intervene. Entering the nightmare, she witness a bizarre parade of appliances, toys, and kitsch objects: all of her intelligence and imagination are needed to escape this nightmare and its perpetrators. Paprikaeffortlessly carries the audience between reality and fantasy: a feast for the senses.
THE SCIENCE OF SLEEP:-
The Science of Sleep (or La Science des Reves) is a playful romantic fantasy set inside the topsy-turvy brain of Stephane Miroux, an eccentric French man whose dreams invade his waking life.
Stephane pines for next-door neighbor, Stephanie, but she becomes confused by his childishness and shaky connection to reality. Unable to find the secret to Stephanie’s heart while awake, Stephane searches for the answer in his dreams. The Science of Sleep features the concepts of lucid dreaming, false awakenings and bizarre inventions like the one-second time machine.
WALKING LIFE:-
Waking Life is about a young man in a persistent lucid dream state. He observes and later joins in on philosophical discussions on the appearance of reality, free will, our relationship with others, and the meaning of life. He eventually comes to conclude that the reason he can’t wake up is that he may be dead…
Created using a technique called rotoscoping, the real life action is overlaid with animation. This adds to the dream-like visual effects of Waking Life. Unique in context and delivery, Waking Life was nominated for numerous film festival awards for its technical achievements.
THE CELL:-
This psychological thriller takes a disturbing trip into the mind of a serial killer’s psyche. Jennifer Lopez plays a psychiatrist who develops a revolutionary technique through which she is able to enter the psyche of comatose patients and tries to bring them back to consciousness. When the killer falls into a coma before the final victim can be found, she is asked to enter his twisted mind to find the answer, where she faces both the violent and innocent sides of the killer’s psyche.
ALICE IN WONDERLAND:-

She follows a white rabbit wearing a waistcoat and falls down a rabbit hole, and then starts an adventure filled with unusual, funny characters and scenarios.
