Jinmin's movie is really good!
Recently, I was reading "The Elegance of the Hedgehog". To me, Toshi Kon is probably what Director Ozu is to Mrs. Michel (laughs)!
Without talking nonsense, the assumptions and expectations (ups and downs, twists and turns) when watching the movie are directly put on, as well as Zhuge Liang's analysis after the fact.
[Initial hypothesis] is that Wei Ma's fanatical followers are the initiators of all this, the security guard with a deformed face, created the "Weima Nobuya" website, and left messages on it every day, trying to influence the life of Wei Ma in the real world , the presumption is based on the behavior of security guards in real life (blocking troublemakers, robbing Wei Ma's large-scale photos, etc.).
[Second hypothesis] is that Weima has a split personality, the real murderer is herself, and the security guard is actually her fantasy. The basis is,
(1) the plot and the real plot in the new drama received by Wei Ma (the opposite scene with the psychiatrist played by another actress-analyzing Wei Ma has multiple personality splits and delusions of becoming a model sister);
(2) The phantom of "Mima as an idol singer" that appeared several times, whether it jumped from the stairs, or ran briskly in the rain, or saw it in a vehicle in a tunnel of a highway, is impossible in reality. (
3) Wei Ma woke up from a nightmare several times, seemingly confusing the dream with reality;
(4) When the murderer pretended to be a pizza delivery courier and killed the photographer, she was a woman, and it was clearly Wei Ma look! (Actually, it was dressed in the United States) and the blood clothes appeared in Wei Ma's cabinet (in fact, it was left on purpose when he came to visit the United States), there is a scene in the film where there is a pill in a glass of water at Wei Ma's house (55:29's) time), at that time my idea was to stay in the United States or Weima himself used it to make Weima sleep well, and now it seems that it is also a trick to stay in the United States;
(5) Weima saw the security guard on the set several times and thought it was Illusion;
[Third hypothesis] is that the murderer is Liumei, which is also the setting of the original play.
The security guard is also real. The female agent stayed in the United States and imagined that she was Weima (inheriting her unfinished dream of a singer), and used the security guard who was obsessed with Weima, but the security guard failed to kill Weima in the backstage. At this time, the male agent had also been killed (probably by Liumei), and the body of the security guard was also hidden by Liumei in the place where the male agent's body was placed (because Liumei knew the possibility of where the male agent's body was located). maximum).
Although Rumi was very surprised to see that Mima was still alive, she still took Mima home. At this time, Mimi's room had been decorated as Mima's room when she was a singer (note that the fish in the fish tank are I came back), it may be that studying in the United States originally planned to kill Weima, and he justly became the "real" Weima, that is, the real owner of "Weima Nobuya". But Wei Ma noticed the fish tank, and then Liu Mei, dressed as Wei Ma, showed her true colors.
But here, I still have some doubts, because the two jumped from the window of the high-rise building without any injury, and Wei Ma, who was dressed in the United States, was able to jump so briskly, and I returned to the possibility of the second hypothesis. That's right—that is, the murderer was Weima, and in the case of split personality, he killed Liu Mei as his own illusion. What cleared my doubts was that there was a scene during the chase, the brisk figure of "Singer Wei Ma" was running on the road, but in the glass reflection of the roadside shop, it was panting and full of fat. , Liu Mei who is funny wearing Wei Ma's clothes, therefore, the "Singer Wei Ma" on the road is actually Liu Mei's own fantasy, and her real appearance is the reflection in the glass.
In the end, Liumei rushed to the street and was hit by an oncoming truck. If the plot came to an abrupt end here, the suspense would be more and more exciting.
There is also an ending, that is, at the critical moment, Wei Ma pushed Liu Mei away, saved the latter, and then Wei Ma went to the psychiatric hospital to visit Liu Mei who had been sent to the United States for treatment. By this time, the plot was completely clear.
I still have a few unresolved questions:
(1) What is the meaning of the clipping ("hit and run") that Wei Ma saw in the elevator?
(Addition: resolved, the photo of the person who was hit by the car is the gangster who harassed and made trouble at Wei Ma's last concert that day)
(2) What happened to Wei Ma seeing the vision of "Singer Wei Ma" in her room? (Technically speaking, Liu Mei can set up a hidden microphone in the room or something to imitate Wei Ma's voice to scare her, but it is impossible to make an illusion.)
(3) Once Wei Ma read it on the website of "Weima Nobuya" Is the prophecy of "getting off the subway with your left foot first" a real coincidence?
(4) At the 45-minute concert, the website of "Mima Nobuya" predicted that "Weima will appear at the concert". Did Weima really appear at that time, or was it just a security guard's fantasy? If it appears, is it dressed up in the United States?
In addition, the name of the TV series filmed by Wei Ma in this film is called "Double Bind", which can be translated as "double bond" and "double connection", which exactly corresponds to the plot in reality.
Several plots that echo before and after:
(1) When Weima was filming the rape scene, Liumei left angrily, only the male manager took Weima to dinner, and when she got home, Weima found that all the goldfish in the fish tank were dead. It is very likely that Liumei did it while she was eating;
(2) If you are interested, go to the Internet to search for the movie poster of "Mima Nobuya", the puzzle pieces collapsed, revealing another hidden Mima, very creative Another pun!
