Aug 7, 2021 · Instead the plot summary replaced all the ambiguity of the film with 100% certainty of what happened. IMO Perfect Blue is a whole lot less interesting and less uncanny if you take away its ambiguity. The 'plot explained' videos on YouTube weren't any better, so I …

Jul 12, 2016 · Perfect Blue is my favorite anime film that I've seen so far easily and I would love to experience it for the first time again. My favorite scene is when she's filming a scene that's slightly pornographic, but [Spoilers] (/s "you begin to wonder whether or not she's actually being raped because it gets really creepy very fast.

Mar 18, 2019 · I decided to watch Perfect Blue because I didn't feel like getting out of bed and nothing is ever in TV in the middle of the night. I was messed up all through the movie.
