The most terrifying thing is not a false, diabolical fantasy, but a nightmare-like reality. I think "Weima's House" gives people a "bad" psychological experience like "being raped". In addition to the ugliness and magic of the painting itself, the more important point is that we all know that Such nightmares are happening in some corners of reality, and even happen to us. In the process of chasing dreams, we choose to give up one kind of life to touch another kind of "better life in fantasy". a predicament. The reality is raping your ideals, your hard work and hard work may be a ridiculous joke in the eyes of others, you have made a wrong choice, the reality and everything around you are screaming, this is not your real consciousness! How can such a dirty reality and broken ideal be what you expect? ! At this point, even your self-consciousness begins to collapse. This is the most tortured and shocking psychological experience that "Weima's House" gave me. I can't help but think of Sartre's point in "Confinement" - other people are hell .
1. Wuyueweima - who are you
"Weima's House" begins with Weima giving up her shining halo in the idol group and starting from 0 as an actor. Starting from Weima's main perspective, it shows us the "tragedy" of a dream chaser in pursuit of self. road. Among them, the line "Who are you" appears repeatedly in the transitions and in the play, and it overlaps subtly with the temperament of the movie "The House of Weima", so that I can't forget it for a long time. The "true self" is what Wei Ma in reality has always wanted to confirm. Jin Min almost set up the most extremely difficult situation for a girl who "seeks herself" to find her true self, that is, the life she wants to pursue is not what she expected. As beautiful as she is, everything is deviating from the original track. The former fans did not agree with her because of her transformation, but they wantonly lusted after her. The economic people who accompanied her took the former her as a projection of their dreams and could not recognize her now. .
"In my activities, I regard the gaze of others as my own possibility", which is a kind of alienation, a kind of objectification, a kind of enslavement by gaze, and a deprivation of my subject's freedom and transcendence. , so the subject I becomes the object I, and the other becomes the subject in my eyes. The 'Minecraft' built by my gaze crumbled
Reality colluded with "Weima's house" (a product of perverted fans) and the agent's fantasies to become a seemingly more real "self". I had absolute doubts about Weima's identity. At this time, I couldn't bear it. The real and cruel dream of unmahjong, as an escape from reality, swayed in it, and she kept asking herself - "who am I", "and who are you".
The extreme situation in "The House of Weima" gave me a blow to the head, throwing out a sharp question, when what the real self pursues is a real nightmare, and the "advice" of others seems to be the correct answer to my life , which one is worth affirming? If reality tells you that what you pursue is "wrong", then who can be mentally strong enough not to question themselves? Wei Ma's tragedy cannot be simply attributed to the disillusionment of people or the lack of self-determination, but a sharp point to reality.
The distorted idol industry is overly catering to the otaku culture group. The image of idols does not reflect the true self but the result of the company's perfect packaging. For the discrimination against idols' transformation into actors, "recognition" must be challenged on a large scale. sexy revealing. This is a tragedy of naked reality, a sad song created by the entire social environment. It kills not only idol actors who are willing to pay for their careers, but also groups that have been nurtured and nurtured by such culture, psychologically distorted idols and overly eager idols Broker who became crazy because of his career.
Even though it is cruel, I still like the ending of "Weima's Ministry", "killing" the alienated "self" and insisting on herself, even though she has largely failed in the mundane sense.
The evil of fantasy
Opposite of Wei Ma, there are two people who are like "villains". One is always in the light - that is, a voyeur who looks evil, and the other is the incarnation of "Weima" in the dark - also has idol dreams. However, due to the limitations of his own conditions, he could not realize it and instead pinned his dream on Wei Ma to stay in the United States. The evils of these two are similar, and they simultaneously enslave Weima with the most evil "gazing", showing a perverted desire to control.
The forced self-consciousness of these two people on Weima was twisted together with the paradoxical reality, which played a great confusing role, and sometimes even caused us as the audience to be confused like a dream.
Voyeurism has always been a psychological distraction that cannot be ignored in the bright place, causing great damage to the world of Weima. This is a typical extreme portrayal of someone who sabotages your life in the name of being good for you. Under such idol industry, the fermentation is very deep, they have a very deep self-awareness, and at the same time have an extremely distorted love for idols. In the end, the voyeur thinks that he is the incarnation of Weima, and the idol becomes a symbolic thing In fact, no one cares about what they really care about, and no one cares that what Wei Ma wants is an acting career. On the contrary, they put their ideas behind the symbol of idols, and vent their own views and desires through empty shells. . This extreme situation has become the epitome of most fan circles, and I can't help but reflect, when we love an idol, do we only love the person we imagined in our hearts and refuse to accept his true ambition?
Liu Mei is a character that I can feel the most ingenious in "Weima's House" besides Weima. It wasn't until the end that I suddenly realized and felt reasonable about the surreal identity of "Weima". Liumei is cruel to Weima but also loves it. The reason is that she thinks she is a more "Weima" "Weima", and a poor person who is defeated by reality and seeks hallucinations. She is like a controlling mother who wants to completely control Weima's career direction. When Weima is out of control, she imagines that Weima is not the real Wema, but her dream. Rumi also wept unbearably when Mima was on stage for the rape scene, which is one of my favorite scenes. I think that Wei Ma, who was raped on stage in the heart of studying in the United States at this moment, is no longer Wei Ma, but the body of her dream projection. In this rape scene, there are actually four people who are raped, one is the pursuit of The Wei Ma of my dreams, the two are voyeurs who susten their emotions, the third is to stay in the United States to watch, and the fourth is an immersive audience. A rape that was not fully implemented pushed the entire film to a suffocating climax, and also caused a huge intertwining and confusion of the entire reality and dream. Because Wei Ma Ling is not the only one who was raped, three people with different visions have already carried the same hatred at this moment. Wei Ma also hates all her accomplices like a voyeur. When the victims appeared one after another, she would also doubt whether this was what she really did; and Liumei also made up her mind in this spiritual rape to truly become "Weimaling". This scene is the first time that the thoughts of three people with different wills overlap, so that when its various effects occur, it produces a huge sense of nightmare, and even makes the audience unable to distinguish between reality and dream, because as a We in the audience also had the same anger as the three of them after witnessing the encounter with Weima.
The fight between Liumei and Weima is a debate between the "beautiful past" and the "cruel reality", and it is also a struggle between Liumei and the reality that deviates from her dream. war. The tragic meaning of studying in the United States is fully displayed in it. Facing the speeding train, she raised her arms proudly, as if she was on the stage with a radiant curtain call. She died in fantasy is sweet and happy. It's...too ironic.
"The House of Weima" carries out a cognitive revolution for the sober self, exploring the meaning of sticking to the value of self under the cruelty of reality. Whether to live soberly and painfully or to die happily and happily in fantasy, the end gives a free and heart-proven answer, at least for Wei Maling, she chose to stick to the former.
