At the beginning of the new year, Pixar's cartoon brought a chicken soup, which made the world feel good.
In fact, today's cartoons are no longer the patent of children, and adults are often moved by the plot of cartoon movies, crying like tears in the movie theater.
Admittedly, we have seen a lot of cartoon movies that poke the audience's tears, but there is no shortage of excellent cartoons with suspense and brain-burning as the focus, among them, we have to mention director Imatoshi's famous work in one fell swoop: "The House of Unhemp".
When it comes to Japanese cartoon film directors, Miyazaki is a household name. But Imatoshi's name is also one of the people who should go down in the annals of Japanese cartoon movies.
Although there are not many works by Imatoshi, they are all excellent works, and this "Unma's House" is a precedent for Imatoshi's creation. Although it is a cartoon, the plot design and even the composition of the shots have been directly borrowed by Darren Aronofsky in the movies "Black Swan" and "Requiem for Dreams" again and again, and "Black Swan" has gained a lot in the 83rd Oscars, and its influence can be seen.
After watching "The House of Unhemp" for the first time, you may just string down the plot, but you will still have a sense of incompleteness, because there are indeed too many incomprehensible points in the whole movie.
Yes, this is definitely a movie worth two brushes and three brushes. Because the truth is only hidden in the fleeting fragment of more than a minute.

Kirito is the main singer of the popular singing group CHAM, the pure and lovely image of the three girls is deeply loved by fans, but just when the three people's singing career is booming, Wei ma unexpectedly announced his withdrawal from the music scene.
What exactly made the popular singer make such a decision?
This is not a mystery. On the one hand, the company feels that the revenue of records is not as lucrative as that of film and television; on the other hand, Wei Ma also hopes to change the direction of development. Although, her heart is still nostalgic for the music scene.
On the day of the farewell performance, Unma received a confession letter from a fan, and the enthusiastic fans opened a website for her, called "Unma's Ministry House".
The fans' elaborate design can not be described as careless, and the unma of the ministry uses a first-person tone to record the bits and pieces of Unma's daily life and her inner activities. Looking at such a detailed text, Wei Ma was really excited, but there was also a hint of uneasiness.
All-speaking and excellent acting, but from popular singers to film and television newcomers, although they are in the show business circle, such a career change needs to pay a great price.
The first TV series was called Double Bind, and the script was not yet fully written. The character of Mima in the play is called Yoko Takakura, the sister of a well-known model, and a sister who fantasizes that she is a sister.
From the script of the previous episodes, Wei Ma has only one line: Who are you?
Oh, yes! How many directors dare to give such a newcomer too many performance opportunities?
The company said that it finally won a role for Wei Ma, but it was a rape scene that only joined. In order to quickly emerge in the film and television circle, although he was very reluctant, Wei Ma still resolutely took on such a role.
"And you're not really raped!" Wei Ma smiled and told his agent Liu Mei that he was even more hinting at himself.
Many actresses' popular lines are so bumpy, for the sake of film and television career, Wei Ma did not hesitate to shoot bold nude photos. For a time, from a pure and beautiful girl to a fragrant star, Wei Ma suddenly became famous, and also won more appearances for her in the play.
Although the shooting of Double Bind was exceptionally successful, the life of Wei Ma was turned upside down because of this drama. From the screenwriter to the cinematographer, the people around Wei Ma encountered accidents one by one; Wei Ma was more and more mentally confused, realistic, flashback, she seemed to be trapped in the scene.
Not only that, another pure unma image also appears from time to time in Weima's life and work, repeatedly reminding her of the love for the singing career in her heart; and the mysterious "unma house", Weima always feels that there is a lewd man, who follows her all day long, and it is chilling to think about.
The ending of the film is somewhat unexpected, when all the truth is finally revealed, when the subtitles appear, we seem to have finished watching the film, but we still feel confused, still not so real.
Is this really the case with the story of unma? Is everything really calm? What the hell is going on with that repeated flashback? What is real, what is a dream, what is a plot? And that enigmatic fleeting piece of dialogue that doesn't fit in, what is it?
So, repeatedly chewing on the plot, but revealing the truth of another scene for us.

If you look closely, within an hour or so of the movie, there is a strange dialogue, the dialogue between Yoko Takakura and the doctor in the play, and the conversation between the doctor and the police after he comes out of the ward.
Although this dialogue is only a minute or so, it is like the curtain behind the screen has been lifted in an instant, although it is hastily glimpsed by a sad truth.
Yes, Yoko Takakura, the character in the unmatched drama, is the real character. The heroine of this story is the personality of Yoko Takakura after being violated.
Yoko Takakura, originally a pure and lovely girl, she fantasized about becoming a film and television star, and was accidentally photographed by a star scout on the road, but was violated during the audition. That extremely real rape scene turned out to be Yoko Takakura's personal experience.
As a result, she split into a unmatched personality and insisted on the film and television path she pursued; she split into a beautiful personality and insisted on the purity of her former; she split the personality of the obscene male Uchida, a tool to avenge her.
She wrapped up the people and things she encountered in her fantasy world, the doctor and the police became the characters in the unmasked drama, and the cruel truth became a virtual plot in her world.
"And you're not really raped!" This self-suggestion sounds particularly true now.
Multiple personality splits are not uncommon themes in movies, but Imatoshi's brilliance lies in hiding such truth in a complete story, hidden deeply inconceivable.
The tragedy of Yoko Takakura, the sympathy of savoring it. Eventually, the protector Uchida also collapsed in a pool of blood, and Rumi was imprisoned in a mental hospital, and the unmatched personality finally eliminated all personalities, laughing and saying, "I am real!" ”
How can it not be compassionate to continue to live in one's own world in this way?
