Fuck you mods for deleting the beginnings of a nice Perfect Blue thread.
Anyway, can we talk more about this masterpiece?

Why the fuck did they delete the thread?!
Also to that anon who said he stopped watching after the lewd photoshoot scene, you should really finish it.
>>139358121
wtf is up with the mods?
What was the budget for this? You can tell the was so much effort put into it.
I know that this film is a critique on the entertainment industry in Japan, but is Perfect Blue based on any real idols?

I remember reading somewhere that it was supposed to be a live action, but then they decided to do animation because it was cheaper.
>>139358514
That sounds like bullshit
>>139358465
Not sure I know it if based off a novel
didnt several movies rip off scenes from this film? like Black Swan
>>139358543
No I swear, it was because of some earthquake or some shit that damaged the production studio.
>>139358121
literally saw this for the first time yesterday.
thought it was great but it really drained me. thankfully, it didn't end on a downer or i would've been really fucked up. really impressed by satoshi kon. weird to think how much aronofsky lifted from this.

>it didn't end on a downer
I don't know it kind of made me depressed. Plus why the fuck did Mima use that evil voice at the end?
>>139358589
They were just "homages," anon. No stealing going on whatsoever.
>>139358514
That and Kon stated that his editing is too fast for live action. Anime is the only way for him.

Requiem for a Dream had a couple of homage scenes.
Black Swan was a shameless ripoff
Reposting this from the last thread
I found the rape scene to be one of the most disturbing things I've ever seen. I never want to watch that again. I ended up stopping the movie during the lewd photoshoot because I felt so violated.

They probably only read the shitpost OP

maybe i didn't understand it but i assumed that meant she'd become the idol she wished she was. didn't think that was supposed to sound evil.
>>139358915
>I ended up stopping the movie during the lewd photoshoot because I felt so violated.
yeah, i had to pause several times and walk around.
>>139358915
Here's a hint: you're not supposed to be comfortable with any of it. Satoshi Kon is being obviously critical of the entirety of the entertainment industry. I thought the rape scene would be a dead giveaway of that.

>aronofsky
>Black Swan
Yeah, he literally bought the remake rights just so he could do the bathtub scene in Black Swan.
Not to mention this was right after Kon's death. What a fucking hack.
>>139359075
Yeah I was aware of that the whole time.
Isn't it a normal thing for idols in Japan who want to switch from idols to actresses to do a nude photoshoot though?
I'm pretty sure Perfect Blue got it from somewhere.
>>139359108
No, the maker of requiem for a dream bought the rights to perfect blue to do the screaming in the water scene here >>139358805
>>139358465
I was actually reading some articles and found this

It's pretty interesting.

But I also was reading about this other idol Yukiko Okada, who actually killed herself, but her story really freaked me out because Perfect Blue really gives some insight on what could've made her do that.
