Berniece 2022-04-23 07:02:41

Wei Ma's house tells the story of a member from the idol singer group CHAM who transformed into the entertainment industry under the arrangement of the firm. After the transformation, she has received threats from fax machines, letters containing bombs, and a "Weima's Ministry" (similar to a blog) full of her thoughts and trivia. All this made her anxious, and then the writers of the TV series Double Bind (Double Bind) she starred in made a proposal to increase her role - shooting a rape scene. Miss Liumei, who is Weima's agent, firmly opposed it, and Weima agreed with the idea of ​​not wanting to cause trouble to others. This was followed by a nude photoshoot, during which Mima began seeing apparitions of another idol singer, Mima, followed by a series of deaths of those involved. Wei Ma's spirit gradually collapsed.

The story is mainly divided into three lines, the first line is the main line: Wei Ma quit the idol circle to become an actor and a series of cases; the second line is the diary in Wei Ma's house and the illusory singer Wei Ma; The third thread is the drama "Double Bondage" starring Mima.

The diary and fantasy singer Weima are mainly expressing a kind of appeal, representing the pure and popular Weima, a struggling mental state: should I sing and not enter the showbiz. The drama is mainly an auxiliary role to help us understand the main drama, and the plot is also finished by the lines in the "double bondage".

"I am Weima"

In the main line, Wei Ma has been in a state of struggle, struggling between the two identities of idol singer and actor. In the fantasy confrontation with singer Weima, I was at a disadvantage every time, and even refused to make a rape scene. I just cried in bed after returning home. Singer Wei Ma's song has a lyric "Live yourself", but did Wei Ma really do what she wanted to do? Did the transformed Mima really like the previous fans? "Why do you think we know that the previous self and the present self are the same person? This is because of the continuity of memory. We rely on this alone to create a consistent self-identification fantasy." Ma is the innocent singer Wei Ma who was shown in front of them, so they thought that it should be Wei Ma. When Wei Ma after the transformation conflicted with the Wei Ma they agreed with, they denied such Wei Ma. (Deadly loyal fan Uchida Mori said: You are not Mima!)

"Fantasy never becomes reality"

In Double Bondage, Yoko Takakura is redeemed by killing her supermodel sister and then making herself her sister. All the crimes were committed by another personality after Takakura Yoko split. The psychiatrist in the play is actually Wei Ma's psychiatrist, and Wei Ma's real identity is not an actor, but a rape in the theater (the rape scene after split personality appeared twice, once during filming and once when he died. The loyal fans came to kill her, but it can be found that the rapes were all in the theater, and the theater was probably the place where the rapes occurred in the real world.) Afterwards, a depersonalized girl appeared. The singer Weima is her who has not been raped. Because rape was too unacceptable, she chose to think of it as filming. So there was an idol singer Wei Ma transformed into an actor Wei Ma. After becoming an actor, Wei Ma was photographed nude by the photographer (it may be that the rapist took the photo after the rape). So there is the idol singer Wei Ma phantom saying: You are defiled, you are unclean, no one will like an unclean idol. It doesn't matter, you have me, I am your light, you can be my shadow.

There are two scenes in the play that interlace with the real world. The first time was when Mima came to the crew for the first time and said the line "Who are you?" Ochiai Huili said: I am your psychiatrist. The second time was the last scene before the finale: Takakura Yoko was in the interrogation room, and Ochiai Eri said: She had a split personality, and she thought she was a newly debuted actor Mikiwaka. This scene was played twice. The first time it was said that Wei Ma had a split personality. She was not an actress, but a girl who was raped and split Wei Ma in order to escape reality, turning the rape scene into a scene in the play. The second time is that Takakura Yoko had a split personality and killed his sister.

Four people died in the whole movie, one was screenwriter Shibuya Takao (Xiao Shi), one was photographer Murano, one was die-hard fan Uchida Mori, and the other was the president of Mima Office, Tiansuo. Who killed these people? Who created "Mima's House"? Is it to stay in the United States?

"Who is Limei?"

Rumi is Mima's manager and once also worked as an idol singer, but later retired as a manager. What is the position of staying in the United States? From a few details, we can see that studying in the United States hopes that Mima will always remain an idol. The first detail is that when Shibuya and the president of Rumi and Mima talked about letting her play in a rape scene, Rumi objected very strongly, saying: idols can't play this kind of play. The second time was at the filming scene, Liu Mei shed tears and left the scene because she couldn't watch it any longer.

To some extent, the psychology of staying in the United States is the same as that of the diehard fans Uchi Morita and the idol singer Mima. Rumi believes that idols are absolutely pure and clean. Uchimori believed that his Mima was sacred and could not fall from the altar. Idol singer Weima thinks that she has personally ruined herself, and that her past self is beautiful and inviolable. It is precisely because the idea of ​​staying in the United States and the idol singer Weima coincides, and she also longs to return to the old self who is still an idol, she turned herself into an idol Weima. But in the end, Wei Ma ripped off the wig, and when he saw himself in the mirror, he couldn't accept that he was already old and pale, his body was out of shape, and he collapsed.

"Two Car Accidents"

There are two car accidents in the movie. The first time is Wei Ma being hit by a truck. After that, her memory starts to flash back infinitely. It seems that every day is the same, but the days are moving forward again. What kind of person did he actually do, these have become blurred. By reading Weima's Diary of the Ministry, I learned about myself, "So I went to Harajuku." The real Weima seemed to have died in that car accident, and the rest of me was shaped by everyone's settings. think.

The second car accident was when Liumei collapsed and she raised her arms to face the oncoming truck. When the headlights of the truck hit her, she seemed to be back in the era of being an idol singer at that moment, but the fantasy will eventually Shattered, Wei Ma rescued her and took her away from the truck. Before she was lying on the ground, her last hope died in the car accident.

"I'm real"

This is the end of the two worlds. Level 1: The dissociated personality of the girl who was raped in the theater is still trapped there, and she always thinks she is Mikio Mima.

The second layer: In the world of Wei Ma, Miss Liumei failed to become her true self, wandering between idols and Liumei, sometimes she was Liumei, but more often, she was the idol she wanted to be. Wei Ma probably got a revelation and decided not to live according to other people's assumptions, and finally became her true self.

Perhaps somewhere in that girl's personality, she was finally redeemed.

    Talking about a person who "paints" a movie knows more about the language of the movie than many people who make a movie... But to say that many people are not convinced, in fact, I think "Black Swan" has already surpassed the blue in depth. "Weima" is about presenting the state + settling on the event (although the ending can be extended indefinitely, but still limited to the state), "Black Swan" not only has a beautiful concept transplant, but also dissects the artist, the achiever and even the "perfect" The inner landscape of this function word.

    This is really better than the red pepper and the millennium actress... What is inferior to the black swan, is it funny... (By the way, the original soundtrack is really bullish... There are several very concrete music)
