The idol singer Wei Ma, who has a prosperous career, announced her transformation at the last concert, and immediately joined the film and television industry to shoot TV series. However, everything was not as smooth as imagined, there were not many scenes and few lines, and no one cared about it all day long. At the same time, the crew received threatening letters one after another and the manager was attacked. Wei Ma, a computer rookie, found another online diary about himself on the Internet. The content that is updated at any time not only expresses Weima's hurt feelings, but it seems that it is exactly what Weima thinks and thinks, and another illusion of Weima often appears in front of her eyes, confusing the feeling of reality and illusion. When Wei Ma took up large-scale rape scenes and nude photos, the terrorist incidents also intensified, and the screenwriter and photographer were killed one after another. Wei Ma's personal safety was also threatened to the greatest extent. Whether it was someone who did it on purpose or a split personality, until the last moment, the truth was still confusing.

This Japanese manga is the first supervised production of the talented director Jin Min who died at an early age before "Millennium Actress", that is, it won the Best Asian Film Award at the 1997 Asian Fantasy Film Festival, and the Fantasia Award at the Portuguese Fantasy International Film Festival. Due to the large-scale exposure, it also won the inferior film award at the American B-movie film festival. It can be said that the first time he showed his edge, he has achieved a lot. The English title "Perfect Blue" should be called "Perfect Blue" after literal translation, and was later translated as "Weima's Ministry" by the Chinese, which has the double-layered implication that the room close to Weima is being monitored and hallucinations occur in it.

In fact, the plot of the film is relatively simple. The Japanese-style detective suspense is added to it, but at the beginning of the film, the Japanese-style Ultraman fighting monsters and traditional suspense are belittled and not reduced, so as to enhance the difference of the film. The most attractive part is the appearance of the hallucination Weima, and the unhindered accusation of the real Weima. After interspersed with fan characters and Wei Ma's crime-solving drama series, the whole plot is more intricate, and it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity for a while, allowing the audience to montage between reality and fantasy in a pleasing painting style, directly to "Mu Holland" the realm of Tao. While feeling pity and cherishing for Wei Ma, it is difficult to distinguish what is right and what is wrong. When Illusion Weima tore off the disguise and revealed its true face, it returned to a traditional chase scene, which also gave the audience enough time to regain the feeling of reality. As a result, this cartoon has become a unique alternative masterpiece, which is admired and imitated by future generations.
