Infinite possibilities that cannot be fulfilled

"Delusional Agent" 8.5

From the inside, we can see the traces of "Red Pepper", "Weima's House", "Millennium Actress" and "Tokyo Godfather". So sometimes I think, look carefully from the inside, extract those amazing elements that have never been seen in Jin Min's films, but put them together. Leftovers, perhaps a little glimpse.

It is about "escaping reality is useless", and it brings out various social problems and stands upright and criticizes and satirizes them one by one, especially the popular Japanese cute culture and healing culture.

It's not my fault that something happened anyway, there will be a cute doll who will stand up and tell you that it's all bad for others. If you are forced to a dead end, you can still imagine that a baseball boy will knock him down and become a temporary victim. Then all other faults can be completely washed away, and all the responsibilities will no longer be borne when lying on the hospital bed.

Starting from a two-dimensional dimension like animation, stepping into the thorny ground with one foot, mercilessly firing at those social problems in reality, and breaking into the fantasy country, it is still Jin Min's signature genius expressiveness, the broken boundary between the virtual and the real, Shattered dreams, mirrors, horrors, and absurdities.

This guy, when he opened his mind and tilted his head, poured out of the ocean.

The hiding place in front is too tight, and the plot is laid out honestly, and I talk about it one by one. The suspense is like a balloon blowing bigger and bigger, but the clues are still scattered and rubbed like a mess. I was scratching my head and scratching my head on the late-night train to Chongqing. I was tired and had to watch a horror movie to refresh my mind. In the middle, I think the rhythm is a bit of a problem.

The eighth episode began to take a sharp turn, and suddenly jumped out of the main line, and started talking about the extras, the suicide trio, the neighbors, and the animation production team's science and education suspense film. Structure is where Jin Min's genius comes into play.

It didn't end well. It feels as if the flowers are blooming too wildly to be taken back. Therefore, after the suspense was revealed, a circular narrative was hurriedly and fortunately followed. Copying the beginning, the pessimism that human beings can't remember is indeed cold. From the perspective of the audience's expectations, it is better to avoid the important points.

Jin Min is still good at shaping uncles. Maybe it's because he's an old man too? Think you've lived long enough to be good at shaping old men.
