"Unma's House"
Perfect Blue
As always, this is Jin Min's representative work.
And Jin Min is the favorite Japanese film master of swordsmen and a world-class animation film master.
This simple story contains a large number of psychological problems, and its themes also cover various aspects .
Of course, it is common for all great works to lead the audience to think from multiple angles and at multiple levels, be it literature, film, music or painting.
David Lynch's "Mulholland Drive" mixes dream, reality and fantasy in an incomprehensible way; similarly, David Fincher's "Fight Club" and even Nolan's "Pirates" Dream Space, etc.
These works will show the separation of dream, fantasy and reality.
They tend to think clearly, and they will definitely have a clear answer after watching carefully, and there are not many confusions.
But Jin Min is different. He mixes illusion with reality and does not explain the truth clearly.
What we see may be a dream, a play, or a reality.
Wei Ma is a singer of the idol girl group, but the prospects of idol singers are getting worse. At the suggestion of her manager, she decides to change her career as a TV actress.
After the news was announced, Weima was often intimidated.
Someone set up a website called "Weima's Ministry", and wrote a diary in the name of Weima. The content was so detailed that she even knew which foot she took first when she got off the subway.
She was terrified that some fanatical fan must be spying on her!
Wei Ma often sees an ugly-looking man (hereafter referred to as Wei Ma madman) near her. He may be beside the crew during the filming of a TV series, or he may be on the roadside, or he may be outside the elevator door.
He smiled at her.
Wei Ma's career change was not easy, and her performance in the play was poor.
Under pressure, she accepted a large-scale scene , which seriously deteriorated her mental state.
She joked in a follow-up interview that these were "hurdles that you have to overcome as an actor."
However, Wei Ma in the subconscious is resistant, and the Wei Ma madman who worships her is also stopping him.
During the filming of the TV series, there is a scene in the interrogation room set up by the crew, where Mima plays a mentally ill murderer named Takakura Yoko. Yoko claims to be Mima.
Outside the interrogation room, the police said Yoko had multiple personalities.
After killing her sister Takakura Shirley, Yoko said she was Takakura Shirley, but now she kills again, and says her name is Weima.
This part of the content in the 81-minute version is from 1:00:22 to 1:02:00, which is only about 100 seconds.
After the filming ended, she left her identity as Yoko, and Mima continued to be a famous TV actor.
The Weima madman who loves Weima's idol singer status, after Weima's successful transformation into an actor, can't accept it and intends to hurt Weima.
Wei Ma's clothes were torn by the Wei Ma madman, and she killed the Wei Ma madman in a panic.
The camera freezes on the body of Weima madman, and the film instantly switches to the surrounding scene. A circle of people in the crew applaud and praise Weima's acting skills.
Did Wei Ma really kill someone, or was he just filming?
Unable to distinguish.
Whenever something amazing happens, the ending will appear in the form of a dream or a TV series.
She once took art photos with photographers in hotels where she thought she was wearing clothes, but when she opened the magazine, it was full of nude photos of her.
The photographer was murdered.
The screenwriter who designed her rape scene was also murdered.
Weima doesn't know if the photographer and screenwriter really died, or if they really died at her hands.
Movie English name Perfect blue
It could be translated as a perfect depression story .
Why is it perfect?
When Weima woke up again from the illusion, another "Weima" mask was torn off, and the real face turned out to be Weima's assistant Liumei.
Liu Mei has always coveted Wei Ma, and fantasizes about becoming Wei Ma. The emotional Liu Mei tries to kill Wei Ma.
One of them chased and the other ran away. In the pursuit of each other, both were injured and coma.
Studying in the United States was caught in a mental hospital, while Wei Ma became a well-known movie star.
All of this seems to be the fault of staying in the United States, and has nothing to do with Wei Ma.
The murder has nothing to do with her, and the mental problems have nothing to do with her. She is just a successful actress.
When the swordsman wrote this article, he could not imagine how Jin Min compressed such rich content into a film of less than two hours, which also included a lot of scene language without lines.
Many people said that they could not understand this anime, because the ending was not clear, and the dream and reality were not clearly explained.
In the 100-second content mentioned by the swordsman, Weima, who was filming, turned out to be: "I am Misty Misty."
It is very likely that only those 100 seconds are the truth, and the entire movie is the fantasy of a murderer, Yoko Takakura.
It is also possible that Wei Ma just replaced an unimportant name with himself in the TV series, but the content of those 100 seconds has the only explanation for the split personality in the entire movie.
Of course, some people say that Wei Ma is real, but she and her assistant are both mentally ill. Under great pressure, the dreams, fantasies, and reality of the two people are interspersed.
Director Jin Min said: You can deconstruct this film in any way.
Because there is more than one truth.
