This shit is incomprehensible.
>>215050147She showed her pubes and it made her crazy
>>215050147It's extremely easy to understand You may be an idiot
>>215050147the chase at the end makes no sense since the villain is fat
>>215050147it's really not hard to follow man. google it if you still have questions
>>215050200>>215050222okay smart guys. then lay it out for me. why is Rumi simultaneously deeply sympathetic to Mima's plight when she first becomes an actress, to the point that she cries and has to leave the room when watching her rape scene, but she is also allegedly the person who sent the mail bomb (or at least egged the owner of Mima's Room into sending it) before Mima even agrees to do that scene?
lurking cuz ive never watched this and wanna hear something interesting
>>215050306It's only 80 minutes long anon. Might as well check it out, it's bretty good
>>215050306You should just watch it, it's a fantastic psychological thriller and beautifully animated
>>215050291I don't think Rumi and the Stalker knew each other. and the Stalker was a schizo. He thought that Mima was an imposter, because the real Mima wouldn't do all these lewd film roles.
>>2150502911. Rumi is reliving her life as an idol through Nina, she used to also be an idol when she was younger but failed as one2. She's also punishing Nina for ruining the "idol" image she had by pursuing "dirty" acting roles like the one where she's being raped, and also her being photographed erotically. Since again, we've established how obsessed Rumi is with Nina's idol status I think the creepy fan and Rumi were in cahoots though unlike what that other anon says, they were interacting online. Rumi was pretending to be Nina while chatting with him
>>215050291not them, but me-mania sent the mail bomb of his own volition, didn’t have anything to do with rumi… rumi didn’t go crazy until she watched the rape scenehaving said that tho, the film isn’t supposed to be perfectly clean cut, it’s an abstract film. that’s what makes it such a beautiful film that you can enjoy over and over again and see it different ways. like the “scene” where it’s implied the rape is real and mima is just a persona… the end of the film actually lends to the idea that that wasn’t a “scene”
>>215050454>Rumi is reliving her life as an idol through Nina, she used to also be an idol when she was younger but failed as oneI don’t remember this. Is this from the book?
>>215050528She has one line early in the film about how she couldn't make it as an idol or something to that effect. It's definitely confirmed in the text of the film though.
>>215050454Yeah, weren't they working together, or at least Rumi was manipulating the stalker? I thought there was some scene where they mention that she was telling him to do things by sending him emails as the "real" Nina and he accepted that because he's a schizo
>>215050291it's a folie à trois, Mima wants to advance as an artist, but has trouble transitioning and feels jealous of the success around her, doubting herself and her abilities causing her serious distress amplified by the violence around her. Rumi is a failed idol who lives vicariously through Mima and when she sees Mima changing factures her mind to keep up the Mima's Room site with fake stories about how Mima is really unhappy and wishes she was still an idol. The Stalker is obsessed with Mima and believes everything written on Mima's Room and prone to violence against those who injure Mima as shown in the concert scene where he tried to fight the hoodlums interrupting the concert. They all three feed off of each other and create the whole situation.
>>215050147for you.
>>215050147Yet Darren Aronofsky stole scenes from this anime to make Black Swan AND Requiem for a Dream.Darren even bought the rights to make an American version of Perfect Blue, but the studios refused to fund it. So Darren just copied Perfect Blue script for his other movies.
>>215051215
>>215051248
>>215050147So is Hamlet
The movie worked better when it stayed Lynchian and you didn't know what was real or in her head. Then the movie just asspulls the fact it was all Rumi all along.Overrated trash.
>>215051312Well, no. I did comprehend the most famous words in the English language, "To be or not to be." It just means no one knows what will happen to you when you die. And all the religions of the world are, if not wrong, certainly wrongheaded.
>>215051215>>215051248>>215051286>paid for the rights to replicate a scene in Requiem for a Dream>couldn't get the rights to adapt Perfect Blue and just straight up ripped it off completely without paying anything the second time around with the entire fucking movie Black Swanyep, checks out
>>215051347Hell nah nigga. Accept Christ.
>>215050147I watched that Japanese government propaganda about Kon and expected nothing but propaganda: Kon is a genius, Japanese anime is not cartoon for kids etcBut I had a pleasant surprise hearing that animator lady said in fluent English:"Tokyo Godfather was supposed to be my big commercialist prostitute!"So entertaining.
>>215051382Christ can crawl up my booty-ho and die. Thanks
>>215051412SHOW ME PUTTIN JESUS IN THEY ASS. WRONG AGAIN, JEFF.
>>215050692Would be impossible to adapt the story to the vtuber fad that just passed. You might think they are similar but they are in fact unrelated. Too bad Kon died before Vtuber fad began. Even before the YouTuber fad. But had he lived to see it he can't do anything about it. It's just bigger than his Perfect Blue.
>>215050147Funny I am seeing this Jennifer Lawrence doing nude thread. Perfect Blue sounds like it scratched the surface of something but it in fact barely touched the whole issue about the film industry, the career, the casting couch and the METOO. Same thing with Black Swan but even less.
>movies men will never understand
>>215051382>Accept Christ.
>>215050291BECAUSE SHE IS INSANE AND IDENTIFIES AS HER?Fuck you are dumb.
>>215050411There is simply a third Mami. Not just the one Rumi impersonated, but the one who can fly and dance on lamp poles. That "ideal Mami" connects all three mortal characters.
She wasn’t a failed idol. She just got old. Idols don’t last that long in Japan.I prefer the interpretation where they each killed one.Stalker killed the first one, old lady the second one, and young one the third one.
This is one movie I watched and don't remember most of it other than the ugly guy and her becoming a whore or something
>>215051369well I'm gonna go check out Perfect Blue.looks like an upgrade to Black Swan.
>>215050147>t. room-temperature IQ
>>215051781I think the term is called "graduated". As in "she graduated from the Idol activities hereafter"
>>215051215>>215051248japs probably stole it from somewhere else. they're notorious for stealing shit
>>215050147Oh boy wait til you see Paprika.The only good thing that director ever did was Millennium Actress. And even it is more of a technical showcase rather than an interesting story.>>215051340There's nothing worse than anime that's trying too hard to be serious, like the creator is desperate for people who don't normally like anime to like it.Shit like Perfect Blue, Monster, Ghost in the Shell etc.
>>215052112Dominion is the best adaptation of a manga. Adds a little bit of artsiness that wasn’t in the book without going full pretension.
Also one of the few movies where the dub is better than the original.
>>215050147the rape sansa
>>215052112GITS <---> Man of Steelreal anime <---> Gunn Supe
>>215052281... shouldn't you be on /v/?
>>215050291Rumi is a psychotic fan, a fanatic in the most extreme sense. Basically look at swifties or any fan that is deep into the life of the celebs they follow, they love the celeb but the thing is, they love their own, internalized version of the celeb, not who they actually are as people.Which is why Rumi goes insane when the idol she loved shows she is not the innocent girl she thought she was, but someone else.Rumi projected a lot too which is why she saw herself as Mima in the end.
>>215050291Damn dude they roasted you
