CW for whole thread: rape, trauma, mental instability

Figured I should put all of that there. This is an amazing film. It scared me, but more importantly, it's an empathetic film, with an empathetic main character. I'm going to open this up as a discussion post for anyone who would like to talk about it.

    Perfect Blue is brilliant. It a great thriller horror and screwed with my head. A good reminder of the predatory nature of the film industry, the creepy fans when it comes to j-pop and how difficult it is to have your own identity and agency as an aspiring actor/singer.

    Black Swan was to a great extent inspired by Perfect Blue. Watch one right after the other and you'll notice lots of scenes are basically the same.

    Probably the best movie I've ever seen. Gotta rewatch it sometime

    I went to see if with some friends in a theater and all I knew is that it was supposed to be good, thought it was just an action movie or something hahahaha
