Trapped in "Weima's House"

This really made me faint at the end, and I even suspected that everything was a dream in the end. Because there is a scene before the fight between Liumei and Weima, the fish in the fish tank did not die, but the next second, the fish in the fish tank died. And Mima's laugh at the end made me think she was that idol Mima. But the movie has been emphasizing a point of view that "fantasy is impossible to achieve." But this may also be misleading. But the "I thought..." in this movie is really scary. Whether it ends with Weima or his fans fantasize about her, she is actually trapped in "Weima's house" forever and ever. Let's take it now, idol culture is prevalent, and many fans also have this "I think..." mentality. It is also terrible to trap their idols in "Weima's house". But it's the kind of thinking that sometimes provides sanctuary for their idols too. Speaking of which, it's not just a matter of being good or bad. And then back to ourselves, our "I think..." and "they think..." image does not often bind us? In fact, we often find a shelter for our solidification.

    Far beyond Inception or Black Swan, the style is close to the delusional agent. One person’s perseverance, two people’s focus, three people’s loss. Split personality, schizophrenia, virtual and reality, acting and dreaming, self-denial of the past, rich details and high degree of completion enable it to have more than three truth interpretations and all of them are tenable. The complex plot is more worthy of recollection and discussion than the millennium actress who also played montage. Very awesome.

    This kind of fine-tuned movie is actually quite tiring...
