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.

    Debut is the pinnacle. If "Millennium Actress" is known for being one-stop, "Blue Fear" is a popular drama with a dozen or so full-level post-designs (the most outstanding one is the rape scene where the voice and drama are reversed). Sublimated to the peak of the shadow of the sun. Jin Min is deeply immersed in "Mobile Police Movie Version 2". The traces of the silence are chiseled in this film: the building glass in the opening, the rearview mirror of the car in the ending, and the figure of "Mima of the Ministry", all of which Oshii uses the mirror to refer to fictional consciousness Suo Jun, a technique that erodes the sense of reality. This also highlights that Jin Min's concern from beginning to end is not the "dream" that he claims to be, but "fiction"; to find out the sequence of how man-made fiction emerges from reality is the true context of Jin Min's films. The nameless but real inheritance between Oshii and Jin Min is undoubtedly the biggest surprise in the 1990s.
