The Influence of Male Gaze on Weima in "Weima's House"

who are you? Is there really another ideal self in the world besides itself? Wei Ma's answer is that fantasy will not become reality, unless people are willing to immerse in it, no matter how bad it is, don't run away and face it bravely. Jin Min's work is really cool, it's like a dream but not a dream, it seems real but it is fake, and dreams are surrounded by dreams.

In this film, the survival situation of actresses in Japan's male-dominated society is deeply expressed. The male screenwriters, directors, agents, and photographers here have no respect for women. It is said that you choose to be an actor. Big can't do it. For them, as long as it can bring traffic and value, then women can't sacrifice too much. Therefore, nude rape scenes are all natural, and Wei Ma can only helplessly tell herself not to let down the expectations and help of others, and step by step toward the "dirty" self she is afraid of becoming. But the so-called dirty is not an evaluation from a male perspective. Impurity gets in the way, and it is not the value of being a wife. I also said that this is all body art! Any kind of purity is bullshit. People should be the person they want to be, not the good person others think. I think this is the right way.

In addition, the idols in the eyes of male fans actually reflect the idol image they want. I understand that the madman is the incarnation of some male fans. Once I find that the idol has changed, it is no longer the same as before. I hope to change her in various ways. But they forgot that Wei Ma is Wei Ma, no matter what path she chooses, she is walking the path she wants to take. These people take themselves too seriously and think that idols are the best only when they are their ideals, so they fall into a state of madness. Silently respect her choice, continue to support or sadly quit. Fortunately, Wei Ma finally realized that he should not be influenced by the thoughts of the outside world, and Jin Min did a great job in expressing this psychological change.

    10 I deliberately watched this part at the end, with high expectations, and it did not disappoint me. I thought that "Red Pepper" was already the pinnacle of animated films, but I didn't expect it to be a little lower than "The House of Weima". The film revolves around human nature, dreams, reality, nothingness and fantasy. It uses beautiful, poetic and critical, dark tones to render the film itself. After you have been thinking about this film for a long time, just about to When you come to a conclusion, there is a 360-degree reversal, which will make you greatly shocked while being ignorant. The most amazing thing is that this is Jin Min's debut!

    The doll-like girl jumping in the air, like my own pace in a dream, is terrifying... But I still feel that something less, something is too simple. The animation is really hard to do

  • Eri Ochiai: Illusions can't come to life.

  • Mima Kirigoe: I don't know anything about myself anymore!

    Eri Ochiai: Well... How do you think you know that person you were a second ago is the same person you are now? A continuous stream of memories. Given only that, we all create illusions within ourselves, saying that we each have only one fixed persona.

    Mima Kirigoe: Sensei, I'm scared that my other self will do something that I don't know about...

    Eri Ochiai: It's all right. There is no way illusions can come to life.
