A few things that haven't been discussed

Oh man what a story! I don’t want to get to in depth because I’ll just be regurgitating a lot of other reviews and a few personal feelings but I definitely have some questions for the community that I haven’t seen addressed:

First, I’m convinced that there were dream sequences for both Aoyama and Asomi. I think that Asomi’s dream was in blue. She goes to bed telling Aoyama she was tortured and the two scenes in her dream are of her stepfather torturing her and her killing him. This is significant (for later analysis when they wake up) because as she kills him she says “I never felt unhappy, because I’d been unhappy all the time.” My only issue with adopting this view is that Aoyama’s dream involved his foot being cut off by the same wire used on her stepfather, and the same vision of her stepfather. I just think there has to be a reason those two scenes were in blue. Any suggestions?

Second, when they wake up in bed, were they actually awake? We never see Aoyama propose but Asomi accepts the proposal, and Aoyama looks either confused or that he changed his mind after that nightmare. Anyway, I think the movie is summarized in the lines following her acceptance of the proposal;

“It’s like a dream. I’m so happy. I applied for the audition. I was the luckiest one. Because I didn’t become the heroine of the movie, but I became the real heroine.”

This is a complete contradiction of the dream scene where she has never been happy. Is she now happy because she believes she found someone that will really love only her? Or are they already dead, none of it was a dream and she’s happy because in her eyes she is the real hero by keeping him from subjecting woman and taking advantage of them. In the latter, when we first see her dance shoes, they are on her stepfathers wheelchair. The final seen shows Asomi as a child putting tying her shoe on. Asomi is cutting off peoples feet so they cant run away from her. Did Asoyama essentially give her, her freedom back, her ability to dance or not be afraid of someone not loving only her? Was Asoyama the hero? I think an analysis of this could show the mindset of Asomi throughout the whole movie.

Lastly, no review addresses any significance to the dinosaur scenes. Why? I don’t think anything in this film was filler and I believe it all had meaning, hence my obsession with finding out why the blue scenes and why this, the dinosaurs. The meaning of those scenes eluded me as well however, again any suggestions would be great.

Sorry if my thoughts are so jumbled.
