The film is macroscopically divided into two worlds:
One is the real world. The protagonist's name is Takakura Yoko. She was raped in a dance hall and killed her sister who was a model. During the conversation with her, the police found that she had imagined a world, that is, fantasy.
The second is the fantasy world, the dream, which is the world shown in the movie. There are three important people:
The protagonist's name is Wuyue Mima. She is mentally normal. She used to be a singer and turned into an actress during the rising stage of her career. After the transformation, she played a supporting role in a TV series called DoubleBind, filmed a scene of being raped in a dance hall, and took some nude photos. She has been in a tangle because of her unsustainable career.
Staying in the United States, with a split personality, has a deep heart for Wei Ma to give up singing and choose an actor. On the one hand, she stayed in the United States as an agent, and was sad that Weima chose to shoot rape scenes and portraits; on the other hand, she fantasized that she was Weima, established a website called "Weima's Ministry", and updated her diary to encourage Weima madmen to kill them. Not hemp. She killed the screenwriter and cameraman, as well as Tiansuo. Because these three are the culprits that made Weima "degenerate". Later, she went completely crazy and tried to kill Weima unsuccessfully, and was put in a mental hospital.
Weima madman, has some mental problems, Weima's stubborn fan, despairing of Weima's transformation, thinks the real Weima in the Weima house on the website is the real Weima, so she wants to kill the real Weima, but not successful. After being knocked down by Wei Ma, he did not know whether to live or die, and it is speculated that he was also killed by Liumei.
These three people seem to be separate and independent, but don't forget that they are all imagined by Takakura Yoko, and they are all manifestations of Takakura Yoko's personality.
The first ingenious part of this film is to remind the audience by filming the TV series Doublebind. What is shown in the TV series is what happened in the real world. The mental state of Takakura Yoko borrows from the policewoman (or psychiatrist) The mouth explained that Takakura Yoko had mental problems after being raped, killed his sister who was a model, and took everything that happened in his fantasy as a TV series. This is the breakthrough of the whole film, and it also reverses reality and fantasy, which is extremely subtle.
The second subtlety is about the setting of the fantasy world. If you don't understand that this is a fantasy world, then it's easy to think that Weima has a mental problem. In this way, the clips about Weima constantly waking up from a dream, the sudden change of location, etc., can be explained. However, this is a fantasy world, a dream! ! ! Isn't the characteristic of dreams that they lack logic and are not sequential? Think about your dream. One moment you are still excited to surf, the next moment you are worried about not finding a toilet; one moment you are in a certain event, suddenly the next moment you are in another completely in the scene. This also explains why Weima sees those shadows, why Weima keeps appearing in the scene changes, why Liumei suddenly appears, and why Liumei can become Weima. Because this is a dream!
It makes sense to say that Jin Min is a master of dreaming, because he accurately represents the chaos of dreams. I can only marvel.
