#BFIFlare: Went for sohee but was stunned by haein’s acting esp in the drug scene…
An actress-to-be projects herself onto her actress mate, eventually reaching her painful epiphany in how the showbiz and the acting career devour those within and rip their souls off. Indeed a touching story innit, and the fantasy in heavy snow has been beautifully captured… but there must be better ways to present it other than emulating current east asian indie works like a blandly crafted collage.
Bet Hong Sangsoo could make a perfect cover. A combination of films about acting and girls got lost.

我想这部电影涉及到对镜像的误认与着迷、疏离与粉碎，对符号规训与镜像自我的摆脱。一开始，秀安与允雪都想擦掉镜面上鲜红刺目的油彩、那坨已经凝固了的、牢牢粘在镜像表层的油彩。鲜红的颜色、允雪最开始喜欢穿的颜色、本真的颜色，擦掉它，意味着迎合镜像形象的要求，被他人的、社会的视线塑造，成为镜像里平面的、没有个人色彩的单薄形象。首尔之行，允雪面对玻璃展示窗中自己的广告形象，那样光鲜亮丽，却是空洞的、无意义的，秀安带着允雪一同破坏街边的垃圾堆，仿佛是一场无力的反抗。自由的允雪，不愿迎合符号界对她的镜像塑造，因此得到被污名化的命运。允雪与秀安，实际是一体的两个人格，当符号界的规训加强，秀安拒绝了自由人格的靠近与融合的要求，剥离了无边海浪般的自由人格，允雪也同样，变成了没有大他者认可便无法生存的，镜像的玩偶。
允雪离开后，秀安也投身于符号界规训，逐渐变成了允雪后期的样子：疲惫的精致，迷茫的光鲜。与其说秀安成为了允雪，不如说两人相继失去了本真的色彩。
想要被粉丝记住的允雪最终杳无踪迹，最初专注理想的秀安也屈服于现实，变得精神空虚，焦虑于社交网络与工作对象的凝视与评价。这意味着迎合符号界规训而生的镜像形象是没有意义的，是与魔鬼进行的交易。害怕被遗忘，却要通过抹杀主体性的方式避免被遗忘的命运，这显然是一个不能被达成的目的。
💊是秀安短暂借以逃脱符号界幻象的工具，在这短暂的实在界穿刺的过程中，她终于将压抑的自我：迎合的、屈从的、世故的、僵死的自我湮没在海浪里，杀死在暴雪中。在与世隔绝的木屋，她与允雪重新合二为一。完整的自我重新归来，暴雪杀死了一部分的她，却又成就了新的她。但那剧烈的匮乏与失落，却永远无法被填满了。
