Between fantasy and reality, angels and devils dance

Director Jin Min, many people worship him as a great god, can be called a brain-burning master in the animation industry, a debut film is so good, I can't accept it. The style is old and the song is good. This is the Japanese version of "Mulholland Drive". It's a bit dirty. The director is not astonishing, so there are two scenes that are the same as "Stinky Work". But Ang Lee is just as dirty in Lust, Caution, well, you can call it art. Anyway, some people see gold, and some people see a lump of flying, such as me.

    I'm starting to agree: great filmmakers are great from their debut. A creepy psychological film, the most modern in the sequence of Toshi Kon's work. The painting style does not have the madness and ghosts in the later stage of his career, but the imagination and expressiveness (montage switching) have been like no one. Changing viewpoints makes the audience feel so empathetic that the boundaries between reality and fantasy are blurred. After finishing the four feature films, I decided that Jin Min is my favorite Japanese animation master.

    Darren, how many inspirations did you steal from Jinmin? There are many similarities with the setting of "Black Swan"! The fragmentation of the mirror, the psychological suggestion, and the fragmented editing are really damn good.
