Now I am posting it as a tribute to this genius... Strangely, I don't It's not so sad... Maybe life is like this, it's too late to be sad, we have already lost...
Jin Min is too lucky, at a young age, he has the experience of working with the Japanese master Otomo Keyang; Jin Min is also too talented, he Each of his films has been recognized by the world film industry, as well as by the Japanese animation industry, which has never lacked talent in animation directors; Jin Min is also creative and passionate, and he is considered to be the successor of Japan's new era. The group of jumping shots and the seemingly false narrative make people hooked after a ride in the Yunxiao car, but sometimes they are dizzy.
I always feel that Jin Min loves every audience, and this kind of love can give him such confidence to carry out such a narrative. He believes that everyone is humble in life, and even desires, when he breathes, he dare not spit it out, as if once he sees the sun and sees something more powerful, it will disappear; he also believes that everyone They are all fantasizing about how powerful they are. In that small space in everyone's heart, there are lights, a stage, and even the supporting roles are preset. There are no rules for the performance and no structure for the plot. You jump, run, there is nothing in front of you; you can shout until you shout, and your voice becomes a monologue in your heart... Sometimes people's loneliness is a kind of enjoyment, people don't need an audience, people just love themselves - a person. Jin Min is always like this. He never thinks that he is a great director. He is high above and different. He seems to always understand that his differences have always been the greatest commonality of mankind.
Human beings, so contradictory, need to be noticed, and sometimes the ego can't accept every minute and every second of coexistence. Women, so vain, so fragile, have to go out of the house, have to work hard with men in reinforced concrete, and have to think that love is the power that can change the whole world. It is so easy for actresses, above thousands, and shining stars, to be touted and abandoned. God, Jin Min, who faces the inner world of human beings so directly, doesn't talk to us about environmental protection, human peace, or growth. He is using his movies to show us old movies that touched him. This man seems to be sitting in the movie theater forever, thinking about the plot even while walking on the street, and even in the movie in his dreams, he just believes that the movie comforts him, and it can comfort the audience he loves; the movie is close to him heart, so it can also be close to each of us.
Woman and Actress
In 1984, a film based on the novel was a huge success in Japan, called The Tragedy of W. W, it is the first letter of Japanese actress, it is also the first letter of English Woman.
A girl with no education or status came to the city-Tokyo, the most prosperous city in the world. Chang'an is expensive, and it is not easy to live in a big place. There are people who are indistinguishable, talking about luck and opportunities. So, if you want to get ahead, or simply love drama, you have to start working hard, split your muscles, and start lying, saying that you love him, and say the same as the truth.
W is linked to tragedy in this way. Those who are persistently climbing up, would rather drink all their tears on the stage than shed a single tear in reality. Men can give up, love is the same, no matter what you are Whether you are a good man or not, whether you are really in love or not. Is this a tragedy or a new beginning? Is it true that the woman gave up the tranquility under the roof by giving up love and resolutely made a clear line with the vassal of the man, or is it really just a fall? But sometimes, I like the story and the determination not to admit that it is a failure.
In the 1980s, China was far from realizing that there would be so many "beipiao clan", "shanghai clan" and "southern clan" in the future, nor did he expect that after the big cities were occupied, it would be the turn of small and medium-sized cities. , And now, it has jumped to the next century, and the children of Beidrift are probably all grown up. The population moves freely, and there are foreigners everywhere.
W in "The House of Weima" is far from having such a resolute ambition. The W in Jin Min's eyes is so weak and tired. The idol singer who is getting more and more embarrassed with age is still far from being in his early years. Sometimes, I think, rather than imitating the W tragedy, it is better to say that this is a film that spans time and space and is written in animation. sequel. She must have walked into the city with great ideals and vigor. She must have been pursued by cute boys. She also smiled and broke up and said, I will never regret it. Only now, in that small room, the white sheets have long been crumpled, and they often lie on top of them, unable to see their faces or tears, and I don't know if the sheets are damp or not. The fish raised are very good, they won't disturb the neighbors, and they won't miss them even if they leave the house for a few more days. The glass tank is so transparent that you can't feel the temperature when it is attached to it, but fortunately, they are really not so good. Careful feeding is required. People who liked themselves and never gave up began to turn into old uncles and men who were described as trivial, and even those who loved them had a kind of joy in getting charity.
Can such a person hurt anyone? Jin Min turned the chunky W beside Weima into another Weima, maybe it will be another Weima ten years later, mentally disturbed and unwilling to fail, she thought she was strong and could control the fate of others , Or, she just wanted to be able to struggle to control her own destiny, and then die in a piece of broken glass, shattered to the ground, whose dream is it?
Final take
In all honesty, Japanese movies have had a very glorious period. Several masters in the 1980s, each with their own characteristics, transformed Junichiro Tanizaki's original work to challenge the taboo Masamura Yasuo, full of murder, homosexuality and derailment. topic. He had a scandal with Matsuban Keiko, who was known as the number one beauty in Asia at the time, and was no less than director of Zhang Yimou and Gong Li, and Shinji Fukasaku was a representative of violent movies. Taboos are not a bad thing. There are writers in Japan who can win the Nobel Prize for Literature. Literary thinking can always promote the visual expression of artists.
"Final take" is a big step forward in popular movies. The director is Yamada Yoji. It tells the story of a girl who sells snacks in a movie theater and is photographed by the director. Dialogue, until finally finally became the heroine of the movie. The film shows the whole crazy movie era. The whole people love movies and watch movies together like crazy. The movie street is very lively, and it has become the sustenance of people. Under the pressure of cruel competition, every filmmaker has to face the ideal and The hesitation in reality is to cater to the audience or to insist on themselves, and in the end, what supports them to stay is just the love for the movie.
The subtitle is titled - the golden age of movies. This Japanese film made in 1986 was a tribute to the leading time of Japan's first generation of directors—the 1930s of the last century. There are traces of famous Japanese director Yasujiro Ozu everywhere in the details of the film. Who would have thought that many years later, there will be another talented director in Japan, but only in the form of animated films to recall the entire history of Japan's development.
What I want to say is that it has a long history to tell the stories of filmmakers in movies, and Jin Min also prefers this kind of play-within-play structure. "Millennium Actress" is not the first, but a special one. We and the photographer in the play followed actress Chiyoko into the play, Chiyoko played a big transformation, from the princess of the Warring States period in Japan to the geisha of the shogunate, from the innocent civilian in the war spy film to the sci-fi monster film female doctor. What unfolded scene by scene is Japan's vigorous film history. Chiyoko turned into a good-looking person, which created Jin Min's unparalleled achievements in storytelling, and those films made memories boil. Jin Min is really nostalgic. He is not necessarily a condolence, but may also be an ambition. Like "Fina Take", the director is making movies and encouraging himself. Jin Min also vowed to make a difference in the animation film industry with enthusiasm. What is needed is not only skills, of course, he must also have some confusion, but Jin Min also insisted on realizing what "final take" really wants to say, "What if you die, don't you need to explain to the audience? "
So he still hasn't picked a lofty subject, he still sticks to such a group, woman and actress. However, this time, the actress has more scenery and attracted much attention. She climbed to the top of Japan in one breath. She has nothing wrong with her life. Her husband is a famous director. This is very beautiful in the entertainment industry. When he was in his seventies, there was such a lovely uncle who liked him. It's just that Chiyoko, who gave up all this, still has an old dream in her heart. For that illusory dream, money, fame and fortune are only fleeting, and lovers and admirers are just dreams of prosperity. Maybe Jin Min has understood this more than his previous filmmakers: the stage is nothing, the audience is nothing, the most important thing is the dream in your heart, and how much you are attached to it. When the dream is gone, your screen disappears...
Chiyoko of "Millennium Actress" walked through the silent film era and black and white movies like this. At the opening of "Final Take", it was also black and white, with a bustling crowd , The woman was walking down the movie street with a flower branch on her arm, holding her beloved, and the people who bought the tickets were just children, standing on tiptoe in front of the ticket counter.
In a flash, a hundred years have passed.
Dream and drama
Have you seen Princess Anne in "Roman Holiday"? Audrey Hepburn conquered the world with her playful short hair and innocent face. The lady's dress, which is never arrogant, is generously tailored and not exposed, but it is Hepburn's flowing sexy. Rome has since become the holy land of love in the minds of many people. Remember that short love that transcended time?
Have you watched "Tarzan of the Apes"? When Tarzan met Jenny, he felt for the first time what is human nature, what is loneliness, what is love.
Hi, how many old movies do you remember? You who love watching movies, have you ever thought about what you would be like if you are so immersed in fantasy? You are fantasizing about becoming stronger, but you will also be conquered by fantasies. The more powerful you think you are in your dreams, the more you tire of yourself in reality; the more you think you are a hero in fantasy, the more you crave rights; the more you love me in fantasy, the more Silence in reality. Fantasy makes you give up loving yourself, but that shouldn't be the case.
Sometimes it's easy to say that the biggest enemy of a person is just oneself, and sometimes it's easy to talk about it, and what a person needs most is courage. However, everyone's reality squeezes into their dreams, and sometimes they often turn their backs on the sunshine. I think it is often pitiful to be a humble person, but it is miserable to be a bad person.
There are two kinds of people, in "Red Hot Chili Pepper", the detective is the one who escapes the movie, he is afraid of dreams, always has nightmares in his dreams, is trapped in a cage, and is treated as the object of ridicule, only to stay away from fantasy , they feel safe. And a kind of person longs to be away from everything in reality.
In Jin Min's "Red Pepper", there are too many discussions about movies and dreams. Is Jin Min also doubting himself? You love movies so much, but movies are just movies after all, they cannot replace life. Am I giving you dreams and comforting your hearts, or am I making you more escapist and weaker?
Don't worry, the work you create is powerful because it makes people think, because it contains love and understanding.
Jin Min never regarded himself as just a director of cartoons, he regarded himself as a writer, a thinker, and a director of movies. His films are shown to people all over the world, not just those who love cartoons.
Watching his films, I always have a feeling of starry sky. You don't only see one of Jin Min's films, you will evoke a lot of nostalgia for old films. There is no brightest in the vast silver sea. That star, only because there are too many stars, has the beauty of the night sky.
You'll also be reminded of sitting in a movie theater. The person next to you sits down in an armchair, or comes with you on an appointment, or more, it's just a stranger, you don't know each other, so you can't talk, darkness falls, and the screen shines.
You are sitting next to me, but I will not turn my head to look at you, but we are both star-gazing people.
Hey, you also want to watch this movie.

Introduction to the related film
W's tragedy

The film adaptation is placed in the environment of a drama troupe, and they are preparing to put this sensational novel on the stage, with the rehearsal stage of all the things that happened between the actors during the promotion. The film is the main representative of the realistic style of Japanese films in the 1980s. The works at that time all had the idea of strongly criticizing reality. The film once won 12 awards of Japanese films in one fell swoop, and was selected as one hundred films in the ten-year newspaper. good film.
Mita Shizuka, played by the pharmacist Maru Hiroko, practiced her acting skills hard, and met the actor Akio, who was also an actor, in the park. In the career, in the highly competitive casting, Mita Shizuka only got the role of a maid with only one line. In this new play, named after "The Tragedy of W", Shizuka's classmates play the protagonist Moko, while drama actress Hato Sho plays Moko's mother. When the play was staged in the big version, Hato Sho's lover, a congressman at that time died in her bed, Hato Sho asked Shizuka to make up for it, recognized the dead congressman as her lover, and promised to let Shizuka play the role of Moko character of. Shizuka successfully performed a play in reality, and she also became the role of Mozi as she wished. At the celebration, he was assassinated by the actor who played Mo Zi, and was rescued by Akio. At the end of the play, Shizuka still chose the stage and gave up Akio, and a dialogue with Akio was very touching. The film deeply portrays the contradiction between women's self-expression and the identity of others. Therefore, the title of W's Tragedy also has its rich meaning.
The House of Suema
was released in 1997, and it was the first work that Jin Min served as a supervisor.
The film tells the story of the idol singer, Mima, who transformed into a TV series and had to take on roles related to pornographic violence. Mima overcomes various psychological obstacles with her own efforts and gradually enters the role. However, during this period, after the crew received threats, related characters were murdered one after another, and Wei Ma was also harassed. Details of daily activities were published on the Internet. Another self often appeared in front of Wei Ma’s eyes. She had deep doubts, and sometimes, she felt that she was already ill, and it was all actions taken by her subconscious to fight against reality. The film sometimes focuses the audience's skeptical eyes on Moma, and sometimes leads the audience's contradictions to the voyeuristic desire of crazy fans. The mystery is finally revealed.
Therefore, this film has confirmed Jin Min's position in the animation industry. Jin Min is worthy of being one of the most sub-lens directors. At the same time, the stories he writes are relatively complex and rich. His target audience is not younger, but also He does not think that animation can only be used as a product for younger age, and his understanding of animation can be seen from his original creative motivation.
Movie World Final Take: The Golden Age of Movies
This movie is also a representative work of Japan in the 1980s. It was released in 1986. It should be said that the film still retains a certain realistic style, but it does not particularly emphasize the critical reality. And some sense of humor. At that time, the film was a commemorative work for the 50th anniversary of the establishment of Shochiku Ofuna Photography. The heroine (played by Ari Mori) won the 1987 Blue Ribbon Best New Actress, and the actor who played her father (すまけい) also won the Best Supporting Actor prize.
The story tells the story of Xiaochun, a girl who likes to watch movies in the cinema but just shuttles to and fro to sell groceries to customers in the 1930s, who is discovered by a scout and becomes an actor in a Japanese film studio. At the beginning, the roles that Xiaochun got had no lines, and then he took the lead role step by step. Interspersed in the play are the ambiguous feelings between Xiaochun and Shimada (Kuiichi Nakai), who has always wanted to write a good script, and the sincere dialogue between Xiaochun and famous idol actors. Communication between the actor's father. The strict requirements of the father and the director and the criticism and correction of his acting skills are the strength of Xiaochun's continuous improvement. The purpose of the film is unbiased, not only respecting the ideas and techniques of famous directors with personality, but also respecting the spirit of some directors of commercial films to serve the public entertainment. It not only shows the distress of idol actors in front of the stage who only pay attention to appearance but not acting skills, but also expresses the spirit of many behind-the-scenes people who are silently dedicated to their ideals. The whole tone of the whole play is nostalgic, and it shows not the efforts of an individual, but more that the film industry is precisely because of the joint efforts of many unknown characters that the film industry presents to the audience. brilliant.
Millennium Actress
"Millennium Actress" is the second work supervised by Jin Min. At the age of 34 Grand Prize, and won the Best Animation Award, Best Breakthrough Director Award and Best Asian Film Award at fantasy film festivals in Canada and Spain. He quickly became the subject of media attention overnight.
The story tells that the popular female star Chiyoko Fujiwara suddenly disappeared from the screen when she was popular 30 years ago... Thirty years later, Chiyoko's fan Tachibana also became the head of the Lotus Film Company. After a lot of hard work, she finally found her in the sparsely populated Silent Villa, who had lived in seclusion for decades, and hoped to photograph Chiyoyuki's life.
As Chiyoko's memories unfold, the film showcases the main works of Chiyoko's life and unearths a love story that Chiyoko never knew. Chiyoko met a painter when she was very young, and it was her desire for love, and she spent her whole life pursuing this love. The cartoon shows a very rich film perspective, especially the continuous use of "top-truth" techniques, which is worthy of praise. What is more important is to show that women do not succumb to reality and bravely pursue the spirit of moving forward.
roman holiday
Roman Holiday, filmed in 1954, is a classic love story, and the personal charm of the male and female protagonists is indispensable. Audrey Hepburn was starring for the first time and won her first Oscar for the film. And the male lead Gregory Peck also successfully transformed because of this film. He was eager to get the opportunity of a comedy film to make his image in the public more friendly.
The content of the story is actually somewhat more lively and lively. Britain's Princess Anne is on a visit to Rome, and she's tired of state affairs, but she's tired of red tape. One night, exhausted in body and mind, she secretly went to the folk to enjoy the night view, and happened to meet Qiao, a reporter from a newspaper office. The two swim hand in hand and are quite happy. The princess even visited Joe's house and spent the night there.
Unexpectedly, Qiao discovered the true identity of the princess by accident, he decided to concoct an exclusive news, so Qiao secretly took a lot of life photos of the princess, and saw the dawn of his fame. However, in the next time with the princess, Joe fell in love with the princess unknowingly. In order to protect the image of the princess, Qiao could only reluctantly abandon the opportunity to become famous and gave the photo to the princess.
Rome's dream-like fantasy, and adventures such as the chance encounter with the princess all give such a story a sense of a dream that only happens in movies and novels, but does not happen in reality. It is precisely because reality is difficult to surpass dreams that the movie has a profoundly attractive charm.
