During the viewing process, the audience can easily fall into two kinds of guesses: one is that the ugly man is the culprit, and his existence is a symbol of many "brain fans" now; one is that Wei Ma herself has schizophrenia, like her performance. Like the characters, the boundaries between reality and imagination are always blurred.
Neither is wrong. Brain scumbags exist and have committed multiple murders. Wei Ma lost her purity and self in the process of changing from an idol to an actor, and at the same time, she was tortured and exhausted by the "Weima's Ministry" station on the website, and she was indeed on the verge of collapse. But what is unexpected is the "terrible person" hidden behind it, Wei Ma's manager, Rumi, who looks ordinary and loves Wei Ma as an idol. When we found out that she had set up her room exactly like Weima's room, with her fat body wearing Weima's previous performance costumes, the moment was undoubtedly horrifying.
This kind of horror does not require the director to spend an extra frame of animation to describe it. Just thinking about what an incredible life such a person can lead at a time and place that we don't know, has reached the limit of what many normal people can tolerate. The most terrifying thing is not a violent brain-crazy fan, not a morbid stalker, but a person who looks kind and gentle, but completely imagines himself as you, and the real you.
But the last scene is also very meaningful. Liu Mei has been sent to a mental hospital, and sometimes she is immersed in the world of Wei Ma. At this time, Wei Ma is already a well-known star all over the world. When she sat in the car and took off her glasses, she brightened her eyes and said mischievously, "I'm the real Wei Ma!" The audience couldn't help but fall. Take a breath of air, and you will understand the creator's good intentions.
Is this Wei Ma really the real Wei Ma?
