A world made up by someone with a split personality

Carefully read it a second time. It feels like a cartoon that combines the plot of "Mulholland Drive" and "Deadly ID". This is an animated film from the perspective of a person with a split personality. I think pretty female psychiatrists, male police officers, mental hospitals that only show up in about 55 minutes are real world. Except for this paragraph, the others are the imagination of Yoko, a patient with split personality. In the first half of the film, Yoko imagines that she is Miyoshi Mima, an idol singer-turned-actor. There is an avid fan ME and an agent who pretends to write a diary and publishes it on the website "Weima's Room" to stay in the United States. Explained that "Weima" didn't keep a diary, but in the diary she even knew that she decided to do everything that day to cross her right foot first, imagine that in the world studying in the United States pretending to be Weima to send back an email to ME, and induce ME to kill screenwriter He Mr. Gu, at the same time, as the doctor said, the real patient Yoko turned her real self and her experience of being raped into characters and plots in the script, and she washed herself up. She was not defiled or murdered! One minute after the real scene appeared, the last 20 minutes of the film is still the fantasy world of the patient Yoko. She killed the "wretched" photographer Murano in a half-awake state. It was like reality or in a dream. She couldn't tell the difference, so she could still assume she was innocent. In the end, the ultimate BOSS in the self-directed and self-acted script was exposed in the United States. The students who stayed in the United States replaced themselves with the singer Weima, killed the "incompetent" ME and the manager of the economic company who wanted Weima to shoot the third-level film, and finally murdered the actor Weima. Attempted, was identified as schizophrenia, and lived in a hospital. And the actor "Weima" that the patient Yoko wanted to be the most, finally became a successful actor and got rid of the haze of the past. This is the script written by Yoko-san himself. She eventually became the "innocent" and successful actor Wei Ma.

Because apart from the 1-minute reality, everything else is the fantasy world of the patient Yoko, so there are many unreasonable situations, such as the screenwriter who was killed in the elevator and the ME and Tiansuo who died together, all in a very short time. She was brutally murdered within the time limit, and the murder weapon and method of death were completely the same even if they were shot by different "roles"; the police were always useless, and it was obvious that the case revolved around Wei Ma, and she was not invited to assist in the investigation; "The actor The "Singer Weima" that appeared in Wei Ma's hallucination overlapped with the "Singer Wei Ma" that "Remaining in the United States" wanted to become; the "Actor Wei Ma" in the second half suddenly woke up from the bed, suddenly appeared on the set, and suddenly appeared in The murder scene was as chaotic as fragments. . . It is only in the imagination that killings and changing scenes are so easy and messy. At the end of the film, ME said "it should follow the script". When she met the doctor, the doctor told her to wake up from her dream quickly. Liumei also asked her if she was dreaming. The doctors, ME, and Liumei who appeared in the scene all spoke like From a distance, it is very unreal, suggesting that the cluttered scenes are not real.

In addition, I don’t think there is any need to worry about who killed the deceased people in it, and whether the photographer Murano did it himself, because these are originally script plots written by a mental patient. In reality, the girl Yoko, who had split personalities and killed several people, probably didn't remember why or how she killed them. Maybe these people just happened to be on her "set" and happened to need to kill "Damn" Nos. 1 and 2. . . part, then. . . He had to be recruited as an extra and became a ghost under the cone. . . Who can talk logic to a psychopath? At least those victims in the film died from the idea of ​​"weima".

The male characters in the film are extremely ugly and wretched. I guess this is a deliberate ugliness in the imagined world by Yoko, a patient who has been hurt by men. At the end, "Weima" said that she would never see "Stay in the United States", and that she was the real Weima, which means that in the ending of her own script, classmate Yoko successfully appeased herself and arranged for herself. A satisfying new identity and ending. Haha, it's all just a mental patient's imagination.
