This movie has a beautiful production (be it locations, designs, sets etc.) and a great execution and development of a story. If you've seen the trailer (reason why you are interested), then you have all you need to know going in. It's a good movie, an entertaining watch, and it is well done!
The script reminded me of the movie Limitless, where there's growth to "power" for a man that sank to his lowest point. I believe the lead started as a writer as well?
Anyway, this movie feels much smoother, and goes different places. Therefore, it is distinct enough for any fan of similar storytelling.
Some movies are JUST about getting from point A to point B. But this photoplay provides a very interesting ending and framing. I'm still wrapping my head around it, reasons that make me think it could be letdown for some (explaining it's lower score). But to me, it adds an additional layer to an already entertaining movie that works as a nice bow to a finely wrapped gift. I'm sure, after that reading more on the concept of Id/Ego/Super Ego, a second watch or an analysis will yield many details incorporated during early scenes that will elevate the story telling even more.
As of writing these last sentences of my review, I still think I quite liked it and would gladly recommend it. I'll ponder on it some more, and maybe I'll like it even more.

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.

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.

It was full of twists and was really enjoyable to watch. It is definitely the type of movie, you really have to give a chance and judge yourself not on online ratings.
There is plenty of plot twists and a likeable cast. The story is deep and psychologically unravels the mind and dreams of a man.
The production value was high and aesthetically pleasing.
I'm glad I watched it without any prior knowledge on what it was about. Online reviews are decievingly low and not reflective of this quality movie.

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.
