Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

xchintu This one took me by surprise. I heard a lot about this movie and thought of giving it a shot but guess what...it's even better than it is said to be!!! The story is mind bending, it uses a unique way of telling the a story which us visually confusing for the viewers but at the same time makes them think and enjoy the process. The twists a unpredictable and it's everything that you hoped for and even more!!! Go for it, a 10/10 for me.

sasata-29793 One of the singular most original animated films I have ever seen. The story is about an ex pop idol who wants to become a filmstar. On a social level, it deals with the obsession of the Japanese industry with violence and sexual exploitation, but what captivated me most was its use of dream sequences. Dream sequences, or various variations of those, are not exactly a new theme. However, in most cases, they do not follow the dream logic to the extreme. Often they reduce to the common world rationality on some level, or tend to clearly distinguish between reality and dreams. However, for me, Kon's film grew organically into a film where the reality smoothly becomes the illusion, as the protagonist falls increasingly into a nighmarish reality. In my opinion, it would be very interesting to have an analysis of the film from the perspective of technological revolution, that analyzes the world of Satoshi Kon's imagination as a product of the tech bubble. To my distinction, the film managed to overcome a story to become existential in nature; pertaining questions on the nature of reality and the distinction between fiction and fact. At its best, it stayed on the level of some of Borges' finest fictions and evoked questions regarding nature of the 'lost' reality in our present age.

grahamcarter-1 First a manga comics illustrator, Satoshi Kon graduated to filmed anime with "Perfect Blue" (1997) about a pop singer stalked by a fan. 'Perfect Blue' takes its cues from the 'Giallo' of Dario Argento, whilst exploring 'otaku' (obsessive fan culture) and the condition of celebrity itself.Mima is a squeaky-clean, desexualised innocent, inhabiting a world that is ready to swallow her up. A singer in the marginally popular bubblegum pop teen trio 'CHAM!,' as the film opens Mima and her partners are performing a free concert in a Tokyo park. During the course of the set, Mima announces that she's leaving the group to pursue an acting career. Some fans are displeased with her sudden career change, particularly a stalker named Me Mania. Mima's life quickly begins to spiral when someone starts trying to drive her out of her mind; or is she just cracking up all on her own? Me-Mania, who has a mask like face reminiscent of Reggie Nalder from Argento's 'Bird With The Crystal Plumage,' is revealed to have been impersonating her on a web site / blog he created, called 'Mima's Room.' When Mima's friend and manager hooks her up to the Internet, she discovers the fanatical 'Mima's Room' site, and learns that someone knows her every waking move, leaving her paranoid and unsure of how to proceed. Things go from bad to worse when Mima's associates start dying in brutal ways. The plot of 'Double Blind' (the TV soap she gets a small role in), begins to parallel Mima's troubles and her tenuous grip on reality, as the soap has her playing a girl who believes she is a pop idol. 'Perfect Blue' like 'Double Blind' has a narrative that cuts between reality and nightmares, as Mima becomes haunted by a figmentary alter-ego who starts to elbow into her identity. The delusional states of fan and idol are shown to be complementary as well as interdependent. A notorious acted out rape scene for the TV show 'Double Bind,' results in the narrative becoming particularly fragmented just like Mima. She is disorientated and on the edge of madness.As an aside, Darren Aronofsky purchased the American rights to 'Perfect Blue' for $59,000, so he could film the brief "bath scene" with Jennifer Connelly in his own film 'Requiem for a Dream' (2000). The staged rape scene in 'Perfect Blue' also inspired a scene toward the end of Aronofsky's film in which a group of men circle around and cheer on two women using a double ended dildo.

kiwing94 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0156887/ This was an very deep anime movie, I think I begin to understand why it's called Perfect Blue, Perfect Blue might mean that the sea is deep and it is a parabel, metaphor for the film's message is deep, so assume that the color blue is deep, and when something is completely and deeply so it must be blue and perfect. In short, the movie is about the psycho logical aspects of schizophrenia and post-traumatic stress because she is a burned-out artist but choose to change your occupation to an actress, but then trying to broaden their fanbase by changing their image. She does this by sailing on the sea as a fashion model. This will of course not help, but she thinks she can change, believe that everything will be all right if she changes careers to something that may not be as hard for her. The film's director is not a master, because you did not really understand what was what in the film, they could have improved it so that you understand or that they had any character who could understand what was going on during the movie. Sometimes she dreamed, but then got it all the way out there, sometimes she dreamed or dreamed, she did not and then did not know the time horizon of the film. The ocean is deep ocean is deep .... The movie was boring because it stagnated in some places and it was not a success, the other negative I found with this film was that the film did not have a better description or illustration of the stalker in the film. Then you do not know even if it was a stalker or it was hallucinations from her. I'm not going to seek out theories on what people think, the movie gets 5 out of 10, good try to depict how a famous person affected by stalkers and how one becomes mentally unstable when you think you are exposed to stalkers. The film could have easily been an 8 out of 10 of the movie been easier to understand, and if the movie had a closure instead of an open ending where you need to figure out possible explanations for the ending. possibilities for what it could have been. Then I tried the film illustrate the psychological too complex, so it was not at all successful. The music was barely sufficient to make it scary. The animation looked realistic and well done for its time and budget they spent on the film. It was unique to attempt an advanced and complicated story about a famous pop singer who becomes mentally unstable. I still recommend it because you maybe will like it if you are into open endings and complex narration. The psychology aspect is very interesting though so that was the reason I wanted to watch this
