Wow. One of the few movies that seriously kept me guessing until the end, and one of the greastest thrillers I've ever seen. If you've not seen it, go find it. Now.

Perfect Blue was a great film...that film and the Patlabor movies are some of my favorite anime films

The story is the star of the show and that's how it should be...

 

[Virgin Wii]

It had serious plot holes and that rape shooting was SO not needed, but it was worth watching and mildly disturbing. Haven't seen it in years, may never see it again.

 

[Luscious LeftFoot]

Yeah, it was pretty good.

 

[speedpop]

Perfect Blue was good, but Satoshi Kon's later efforts were amazing. If anything, you need to track down Millennium Actress and Tokyo Godfathers. Also get Paranoia Agent series if you're interested in a bizarre detective story :lol

I thought it was a very interesting mind fuck of a movie.

And the part where the guy gets the ice pick or whatever it was stuck right in his eye as he opens the door. Totally unexpected. Then the delayed reaction and his response when it's pulled out. Yikes.

 

[Prospero]

I was just thinking that I should watch this film again. The only time I've seen it was with a female friend, who got so freaked out by the aforementioned "rape" sequence that we ended up fast-forwarding through several sections of the movie.

 

[Zensetsu]

Yeah i saw it AGES ago on late night tv, and this was before i'd seen any other anime films so the style and story both freaked me out simultaneously.

 

[McFly]

One of my favs as well.

Well, I think the whole simulated rape scene was meant to really drive home the fact of how much the entertainment scene she was in owned her. And I'm sure you noticed her character really changed after that scene. This is adult anime, it's rarely known to pull any punches - it's shocking qualities are part of the appeal...

 

[Blackace]

I saw it in the theathers... great great flick.. I am not much of an anime fan... like some stuff here and there... but this is a great movie

 

[Silkworm]

Satoshi Kon rocks IMHO! Perfect Blue, Milliennium Actress, Tokyo Godfathers, Parnoia Agent... woo!

 

[Uncle Dukey]

Yeah I agree.. All of his stuff is definately worth watching. I still haven't had the chance to see Tokyo Godfathers yet though.

 

[Silkworm]

Tokyo Goodfathers is great IMHO It deals with some harsh realities for its main characters but it does have a number of humorous moments and the ending is uplifting (a good movie to watch esp. around Christmas time IMHO). The movie if I'm not mistaken uses fate in the form of numerous incredible coincidences throughout the story. Be sure to watch it if you get the opportunity as it shouldn't dissapoint esp. if you are a fan of Satoshi Kon's other work (keep in mind it's tone is not quite as serious as his other work but it's not carefree or silly by any means)

 

[Dice]

I don't think it had any plot holes

Spoiler

the secret is that 3 people were crazy in different ways

Great movie, one of the best psychological thrillers I've seen.

Why am I being reminded of some Anime porn movie?
