Hello everyone, the movie introduced today is "The House of unma". This is a 1997 Japanese anime film based on Yoshikazu Takeuchi's novel Perfect Blue: Complete Perversion, and the plot of the film is very different from the plot of the novel, but only the main setting of the story is retained. Unma's House is the first film by Japanese animation master Imatoshi. In 2010, he died of pancreatic cancer, and spent 46 years of his life, leaving us with outstanding works such as "Millennium Actress", "Tokyo Godfather", "Inception Detective", "Delusional Agent" and so on.
Synopsis, the protagonist Unma was originally a member of the idol group CHAM, and the agency saw her potential, allowing her to fly alone and transform into an actress. But this decision was opposed by fans, as the actor's work broke the setting of her original idol, Wei Ma also struggled in her heart, more and more chaotic her, and strange things kept appearing in front of her.
Beginning with this film, Imatoshi challenges the audience with a story in which this narrative style, reality and illusion overlap. The whole movie immerses the audience in a very eerie atmosphere, using a variety of fancy montage transitions, fast beat rhythm, the film is 80 minutes from beginning to end, but it will make you feel satisfied after watching the two-hour movie.
The 1997 film "The House of the Unma" is set in the era when the Internet era was just born. We will see the protagonist Wei Ma, who first learned to use a computer to access the Internet, and then saw a room called Wei Ma, a website built by this fan. Watching this fan record his itinerary, we will see a comparison between a real unhemp and a virtual unma, which is a question that Imatoshi raised in the movie very early on, what is real?
Is he the image in the hearts of the fans of WeiMa, or the image created for him by the agent? Or is it the self that she suppresses and can't say? Is the real self the character who was seriously violated in the TV series, or the self who returned to the room exhausted after the play? One of the things that's interesting about this movie is this contrast between true and false?
What happens to the protagonist, it definitely happens to more people. The film talks about Japanese idol culture and the Internet age, and the masked man presents a psychological thriller. The protagonist has a huge pull between reality and dreams, when she is lost in this seemingly smooth road, and in the end can she wake up from this nightmare, or tragic confusion in it, and ultimately lead to destruction?
I think people today should be quite touched by watching this movie, and I kind of feel that this is a growing pain that modern people must experience. You must find your own position in this real world, find your own identity, so that you will not get lost.
It's a very complicated, very interesting film, with a lot of ways of explaining it, and a lot of things to discuss. If you are an audience who likes that the plot is very complicated and has to be watched several times to understand, then this movie is definitely not to be missed, and you must watch this "Unhemp House"!
