Perfect Blue

We have officially entered a serious Waltuhs film review. I decided that today I was going to step out of my comfort zone and watch an anime movie. I am personally not a big anime guy but I heard really good things about this movie and it lived up to the hype. One of the biggest things in a great movie for me is if it makes you FEEL something whether that emotion is happiness, sadness, or any other strong emotion like that. This film made me feel many emotions, the main ones being strong discomfort and a sense of uneasiness. The discomfort came from scenes like the rape scene or when the stalker would show up at anytime during the film. The stalker was also the main source of the uneasy feeling I had during this movie because that dude was seriously fucking creepy. One scene in particular I would point out for this is when he buys all the magazines with Mimas nude photoshoot in it and then returns to his goon cave to do god knows what with them. I also have to think back in this scene because a major plotpoint in this film is the fact Mima is trying to move on from her life as a pop star idol to become a actress and she starts to believe that she is seeing this other version of herself, who we later figure out is one of her managers, Rumi who has multiple personality disorder I think and acts like Mima as the pop idol version of herself. In the scene where the stalker is in his goon room he interacts with what we still believe to be the illusion of Mima as the pop idol, but it is really just Rumi and that shit was kinda freaky as well. But back on track to the emotions this movie made me feel, I got so uncomfortable at a point in this movie (rape scene) I almost started crying it was an extremely strange feeling. The ending of this movie was extremely surprising as well it had me pretty shocked so there is another emotion for you so if you are reading this and you havent seen this movie, I say that you should watch it. I missed some pretty major stuff in this review but im kinda tired.
