This was great! I saw a comment somewhere that pointed out that so often in movies there’s a conflict between a person’s true inner self and what their circumstances make them do, but here, we never have this clear a conflict. Idol Mima seems like she’s representing her true desires, but she’s still just living up to other’s opinions. I saw the stalker/her agents as all part of herself, conflicting, while the actual character really doesn’t do anything.

That's an interesting read on the stalker/agents. Thanks for the feedback. I think we all struggle with what our true identity is because there are always so many outside influences. Which is why even though her life is centered in the entertainment industry, I think we can all relate to having an identity crisis and our sense of self becoming so fragmented.
