The essence of Perfect blue lies in Phantom.
The process of the film is like a whirlpool that is stirring faster and faster, the reality and the illusion are broken into pieces, and every moment of the stirring shakes the audience's nerves of doubt, so there is no end. As if every step you step on, the concrete floor will turn into marshmallows at any time. The so-called fear is real fear, like falling into the abyss.
The following is a brief analysis of the triple phantom as I understand it: that is, the phantom of "Weima" seen by the three protagonists of the film.
The assistant stayed in the United States and pinned her ideal of fame on Weima. She is good at computers. She created the website "Weima's Ministry" and projected herself into another "Weima" step by step, but she didn't realize it, a typical personality Split. Rumi arranged her room exactly like Weima's, and the hallucination became more and more real. At the same time, she gradually regarded the "real" Weima as a "betrayal" phantom, and finally tried to kill her.
Mr. fans' love for idol singer Weima is deeply rooted in his bones, so he cannot accept Weima's transformation. After communicating with Weima's Internet "phantom" (that is, studying in the United States), he increasingly believes that the "real" Weima is actually The phantoms that "interfere with the real", and expressed their desire to help the network "phantoms" get rid of the "real" Wei Ma.
As for the so-called "true" Weima, although she was cowardly and accepted the new job arranged by the manager, she did not agree with it subconsciously, so she "saw" the vision in the mirror - the singer's version of Weima's "phantom" , The self-report on the website "Weima's House" established a phantom existence independent of Weima's body, so that Weima began to doubt the authenticity of herself, and as an actress, she wanted to play a killer with split personality in the TV series... Wei Ma, who is transformed in real time, psychological time, and drama time and space, falls into division and uncertainty. Her phantom even announced: From now on, I am the light and you are the shadow!
The three phantoms of the three characters are all "singer-shaped" Mima. Assistant Liu Mei took herself as her, Mr. Fans saw her in the center of the stage, and Mima himself almost took the phantom seriously and fell into madness.
Although the three phantoms are an image, they are not related to each other and are merely reproductions of an image. But interestingly, the three Phantoms remain interactive throughout.
Studying in the United States created the illusion of Internet Weima, which inspired Mr. Fans' illusion and challenged the "real" Weima's nerves; the phantom Weima killed people and the pressure exerted by Mr. Fans also made the "real" Weima's eyes The phantoms are becoming more and more real...
"The Diamond Sutra" says: "All the dharmas are like dream bubbles, like dew and like electricity". At the end of "Journey to Live in Eastland", which tells the story of the wizard, it also tells the story of the phantom, which roughly means that if you achieve transformation, the original so-called everything is real, it looks like a phantom... In
phantom Look at the truth, the so-called truth is a phantom... The film uses animation methods, which is another phantom. Doubt, fear, and shock are real, even more real than real images... The audience will look at themselves in the mirror and look for the next phantom!
