Interlacing of four time and space

The storyline is rather old-fashioned. A girl fell in love with a stranger because she was bumped by him. She was looking for that first love all her life, and because of this, she entered the showbiz. When she played any role, she would bring in the feeling of that person.
The performance is excellent, and it is worthy of being the God of Jin Min. In the form of an interview record, the actress Chiyo and the interviewer have a dialogue, and then the picture enters the scene at that time. Each scene is a script of the year, and it is also Chiyo's true love for her first love. It's a pun. Interviewers and photographers will also enter the picture, sometimes as bystanders in the parallel world, and sometimes they will enter the plot to play roles. Since the interviewer himself is a super fan of Chiyo, he is full of love, which makes the audience love Chiyo even more. There are many echoes before and after. The astronaut part at the beginning and end of the film not only echoes, but also implies the theme. Chiyo said, "What I like is the one who has been chasing him." There is also an old witch who runs through the whole film, who gave Chiyo the poison that "you can never be with true love if you don't die for a thousand years". There are deep meanings everywhere in the film, the four time and space of Chiyo's heart, Chiyo's past, Chiyo's present and our audience.

    "Thousands" has a metaphor on the level of Sterling's performance principles. It enters the text space through media replacement to complete the narrative, similar to Bergman's introspection, but it is not simply about film history or the director's personal self-referentiality. Chiyoko and her female identity are constructed metaphors. "Film" and "Studio" imitate and externalize their inner state. Through psychological self-examination, a more macro-level writing of Japan and Japanese women-national living conditions is completed.
