A dream that can't wake up

1⃣️A fantasy with multiple solution exits.

The following is my personal opinion and may be wrong.

The dialogue in the middle of the studio shows that Wei Ma has a split personality and treats life as acting to gain relief. She is the murderous sister and innocent sister in the TV series, and she regards the female doctor as a character in the play. In fact, she was actually raped and went mad because of it.

And the plot after this paragraph shows that her split personality is far more than the sisters in the play. Wei Ma in the idol period, the agent who stayed in the United States, and the illegitimate man are all her personalities, but these personalities conflicted with each other, and individual sub-personalities were killed by the main character.

But if you explain it like this, the big star Wei Ma who came to the hospital to visit at the end doesn't seem to be able to explain it. So it's possible that the person who split so many personalities is actually Liumei. She couldn't stand Weima's transformation, so she lived like her, which is all her good and bad, her guardian and destroyer.

2⃣️Many symbolic languages ​​have the meaning of Freudian theory. For example, the swimming fish symbolizes psychological struggle, and the bathtub symbolizes the protection of the mother. Several transitions in the play are also very good.

This scene is exactly the same as "Black Swan".

The mood of the picture is well controlled. Nude scenes feel no desire, only immersive fear and heartache.

3⃣️ The level processing is much more obscure and confusing than "Inception", but the viewer has more room to play.
