This hysterical self-splitting is a killing and a show

Coincidentally, "The Killing Show", which has just finished, seeks to "see the outside world", and invites the fourth wall to point out the current disadvantages, while "The House of Weima" has a "play within a play", and the narrative crosses layers. Reversing the dream of the soul, it is a fateful read (੭*ˊᵕˋ)੭* ੈ✧︎

This old work from 1997 still looks shocking today. It has both the straight-to-the-point and Huanglong straight to the point that old films are used to, and Jin Min's unique nesting of virtual and real mountains and mountains (those four neatly "wake up" dream transitions are real. Absolutely, slap the thighs!). The only drawback is probably that the picture is not as stable as "Red Pepper", and the characters crash from time to time. Especially Miss Liumei's wide eyebrows are very outrageous, as if the left and right eyes are reversed. I always wonder if there is any hidden information waiting to be extracted - if it is purely to create a sense of horror that comes from the heart, then it is not necessary.

There is a lot of analysis on the online plot, and many of them are very reasonable. My knowledge that "it was the agent who killed the screenwriter, the photographer, the president and the illegitimate rice" is probably not very unique. There is no need to talk about it, just chat casually. Other scattered thoughts.

Coincidentally, "Weima's House" is also the same as "Killing Show", which tells about the power of fans, and about the fact that the person being watched can gradually have acquired divinity just by virtue of the act of "watching". The object that was held on to the high platform seems to be full of brilliance, but in fact it is just a sweet lamb whose fate is determined by human beings. The great horror of being divided and eaten is hidden in the eyes of all the people. Of course, before the great terror comes, the sacrifices can also draw on the altar's will and act as themselves. For Bai Jingan in Xia Xia, this is the cooperation of the armed offensive of resistance, and for Wuyue Mima, it is probably the illusion of being loved and prosperous. The two are just right around each other. The former focuses on depicting the extreme diseased individuals in the frenzy, while the latter focuses on "such a large area of ​​frenzy with nowhere to go" itself.

As a fledgling third-rate little idol, Wei Ma actually spreads two stalkers with real mental problems, one in the dark, one in the other. The rape scene in which the "idol" was killed was also the fuse that intensified Ms. However, it is not a one or two day's work to build the "unma's house", and the dangerous atmosphere contained in it has been looming. If there is no transformation event, what kind of appearance will Miss Liumei's delusions curl up in the vast corner of the Internet, quietly fermenting? Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingling. As for Me-Mania, considering that network construction, threatening faxes and envelope bombing are all done in the United States, he is actually a trick used by the director to divert his gaze, and several encounters are also part of the normal work of security (it's not his fault that he looks ugly). ), the early stage is relatively innocent. When he is instigated by the delusion of staying in the United States and extends his evil hand to Wei Ma, I can only say... Big brother is very sober because of his illness? In the face of the fake goods ruled by the gods in his heart, he did not forget to take off his pants, and the piety of Nong Baifu was extremely suspicious.

The most ironic part of the work is here. Screenwriters adding large-scale dramas and photographers taking pictures are all conventional means of the neon entertainment industry. The president took over these projects not out of selfish desires, but objective market considerations, which are really effective. Weima is indeed at the end of the story, relying on the popularity gathered by "Double Bind" to find the first pot of gold in the transformation, so this girl with a certain opinion will pretend to have a clear will and nothing at all when the agent strongly opposes it at the beginning. 's promise. ——“Everyone does this.” ——“You can’t cause trouble for others.” This is how you get what you can’t get from your good looks, strong singing skills and conscientious work attitude. Then—what about Mima? What about Mima himself? Should her pain, her dignity, her shame, her torment, the half-body she should have enjoyed as a human being, just be destroyed like this? If you want to be a star, should you make sacrifices beyond these quotas?

Everyone is professional. Screenwriters add plots to increase the popularity of the drama. You don’t want to act, but some people want to do it; photographers’ photo shoots are a profession that fits the avant-garde trend of nude aesthetics at that time. It’s art, you don’t want to do it, and some people do it. Big name; the president accepts the project to make money, which is more understandable. Why, the company is not for charity, these are allowed by laws and regulations and even some public order and good customs. An individual constitutes the screw in the flesh and blood factory, the soul of the flesh cannot be blamed, and the structural evil is clearly revealed. Thinking about it this way, Wei Ma is even lucky, stalker gave her feedback on the broken reality level in her heart with her hideous killing, and the viewers know how ugly all this is of course, and how painfully wailing is deposited. And more of those, the faint shadows on her back, just dissipated so silently. Of course, this is not what Weima wants. She probably would rather be silent and imprison the tragic killing in the tender heart of the girl. "Can't cause trouble for others" - she was never angry. Finally, the only deductions are given to large-scale expressions of certain shots. The director himself said, "It's too much." There are subtle shifts in the emphasis that screen some audiences, and even lower the artistry. But in general the flaws are not concealed. The lens where Wei Ma's eyes drifted to the spotlight overhead and scattered into a white light was very nice.

    Jin Min used animation to express character consciousness to the extreme in his debut novel.

  • Sadye 2022-03-24 09:02:18

    Debut is the pinnacle. If "Millennium Actress" is known for being one-stop, "Blue Fear" is a popular drama with a dozen or so full-level post-designs (the most outstanding one is the rape scene where the voice and drama are reversed). Sublimated to the peak of the shadow of the sun. Jin Min is deeply immersed in "Mobile Police Movie Version 2". The traces of the silence are chiseled in this film: the building glass in the opening, the rearview mirror of the car in the ending, and the figure of "Mima of the Ministry", all of which Oshii uses the mirror to refer to fictional consciousness Suo Jun, a technique that erodes the sense of reality. This also highlights that Jin Min's concern from beginning to end is not the "dream" that he claims to be, but "fiction"; to find out the sequence of how man-made fiction emerges from reality is the true context of Jin Min's films. The nameless but real inheritance between Oshii and Jin Min is undoubtedly the biggest surprise in the 1990s.
