I watched Perfect Blue last night. Oh my God what a movie. Every now and then I like to watch something that shocks me and makes my mind sizzle. That was this movie. It was just like when I watched The End of Evangelion expect this movie was far more disturbing...and you can actually make sense of it.
This movie creates such a distributing and unsettling environment. Right from the first scene at the concert where you see the stalker it keeps you on edge when Mima discovers her stalker it gets seriously thrilling. The movie for those who don't know is about a pop idol who resigns to become an actress. Her stalker feels betrayed by this, stuff happens, people are killed...and I can't say anything else without spoiling it. It gets seriously confusing and you have trouble telling what's real and not by the end of the movie. It was a real thrilling movie, I spent a lot of time looking at the screen with various expressions of shock. There are scenes in this movie that where REALLY disturbing. The voice acting (I watched the sub) was perfect. The animation was also really fantastic! High quality 90s animation from Madhouse! It looked like Hajime no Ippo actually. It was quite the film, defiantly one I won't forget easily.
