DON'T SEE IT IF YOU'RE UNDERAGE!!! I saw it with my dad and a few friends. Oh my god?! I thought my father would freak out. It's creepy. And teh whole rape scene thing.... Don't see it unless you like creepy and stalker stuff. I guess if I wasn't as young as I am, I would have liked it... maybe... probably not, but maybe.
Of course, you could ignore me, go see it, and see for yourself.
If Alfred Hitchcock did Anime, then Perfect Blue would be one of his early ones... the confusion at the end only adds to the paranoia that envelopes Mima all through the movie... twisting and turning, Perfect Blue keeps the viewer guessing all the way to the conclusion, and manages to allow the characters to remain who they are, instead of slipping (as would be so easy) into cliched Hollywood villain and vengeful victim... a classic of both Anime and Psychothriller, and a definite must see.. but be warned, it deserves the adult certificate awarded in the UK....
it was a good movie, but 'really' weird. it's about a singer who is quitting her group to become a actress. throughout the film she's being stalked by soemone. you have to pay close attention to this film to understand it [it took me 2 times watching it to put everything together and understand it all]. but all in all it was good.
