Calling this movie a "God's work" isn't an exaggeration, right? ! ! !

1. I won’t go into details about the plot and detailed interpretation. There are too many on the Internet, so I will only talk about the macro perception here.

2. The most interesting part of this film is that the story can have several answers, and they all seem reasonable. I personally prefer Mr. Jin Min to give our answers at the end of the film. After all, this view seems to be more corroborative , also seems to be more clear and reasonable.

3. I have watched "Red Pepper" and "Millennium Actress" before. Comparing the above two works, Mr. Jin Min's debut work "The House of Weima" is more to my taste, and the style is also the most obvious, that is, the narrative space 's incognito cross clip.

4. The whole film deliberately blurs the boundary between reality and fantasy, and intersperses the elements of reality, dreams, illusions, and dramas in a play without any traces. The person is completely dizzy and can't give up. This is especially evident in the paragraph 1 hour after the film, "Weima wakes up from dreams (it seems to be a dream, but it doesn't seem to be)" without pause. I just got goosebumps when I saw this paragraph.

5. The taste of the film is a little heavy, and the murder sequence is very sharp and bloody. The tearing feeling presented by the rape sequence will definitely make the audience feel like they are on pins and needles and can't bear to watch it.

6. In the process of watching the movie, I thought of "Black Swan" and "Chorus in Cold Blood" many times. I feel that "Black Swan" has borrowed some of the artistic conceptions of this film. Sure enough, in the behind-the-scenes interview, Mr. Jin Min mentioned that Darren Aronofsky, the director of "Black Swan", highly praised "The House of Weima", although he could not remake the film into a live-action version for some reason. But still after paying tribute to "Weima's House" in "Requiem for a Dream", it is not finished, and finally the film "Black Swan" with a similar theme and rave reviews was made. (Actually, although they are both excellent works, in terms of the sharpness, complexity, suspense, and strangeness of the film, "Black Swan" is much worse than "Unfull House".)

7. Some people say that Mr. Jin Min is a great man in the East. David Lynch. After watching "The House of Weima", I think this view is somewhat reliable. But compared to Lynch, whose ideology is more invisible, Mr. Jin Min will be more close to the people.

8. Once again, I am deeply moved by Mr. Jin Min's untimely death, otherwise we will see more masterpieces that will open our eyes in the future.

9. Don't have a lot of fun watching Jin Min's movies. You must watch "Delusional Agent" when you have time. After all, it's not very long.

10. "The House of Weima" is the most thought-provoking suspense film I have seen in recent years. The short 90-minute film contains too much information, and it is worth watching again and again.

11. Finally, I ended with a quote from a netizen: "I deeply regret my friends who have never seen Mr. Jin Min's works!"
