Perfect Blue

The human mind is so incredibly screwed up. (I'm definitely watching this again as soon as possible so i'm using this less as a review and more just a way to gather my thoughts and observations upon watching it for the first time) * *- The shot of the stalker holding Mima in his palm is brilliant. - Extremely ahead of it's time in its depiction of the internet and how people view others through it. - All character designs, besides the famous people, are unappealing or have realistic human features showing that they do not have personas themselves, unlike the famous people who are attractive and are putting on a persona for the public eye. - All deaths absolutely gnarly. Love the hard cut to the guy dead in the elevator. - Mima's life as an actress and her fake diary begins to blend together with her real life and she starts to truly believe thats her reality. - We are seeing the events of the film through Mima's eyes and we get to the point where we don't know whats a dream, whats been fabricated by others, and what is truly happening to Mima. - I'm still unsure but I believe that in the final shot of the film we are seeing that the fake persona of Mima has fully consumed her and all thats left is that version of her, making her "the real thing" From what I watched and what I understood I absolutely loved this film but before I can really say exactly how I feel about it I need to watch it again to fully grasp what it all means.
