I went to study acting in college and things as intense as fight, sex, murder and rape we're ALWAYS advocating to have a fight and intimacy coordinator on set to prepare the actors as well as aftercare to make sure the actors and crew members are okay after recording. Some people will argue that that kind of preparation takes away the authenticity of the scene but really, there's no fucking reason to subject your actors to mental abuse for the sake of horror or for the sake of art.

That should no longer be normalized in the industry. The idea that suffering makes good art should be abolished entirely.

I'm really scared to watch this film, as I have PTSD from when I've was psychologically abused by my peers in High School. They used my Autism as a scapegoat to gaslight me into thinking that my mental disorder was making me hallucinate their abuse. Whenever they would call me a "retard", beat me up, or steal my possessions, or even sexually assault me...they claimed it never happened, that my mind was making me see things that were never there, or that which was there, my mind was simply making it seem like something else. In a few instances, they even went so far as to use the staff's own mental illnesses to their advantage to set me up to get into trouble with them. And when the adults did nothing to help me, no matter how much I cried to them for help, I thought I was going completely insane. Is it okay to feel scared of this movie? Sometimes I can't help but feel weak...

So he thinks "oh yeah I guess it's fine" and goes to take the elevator when the music starts again. And it's a rather happy pop song if I I remember correctly so that makes it even weirder. So the elevator arrives and when the doors open there is a recorder on the ground playing the song.

The doors open and there is the man sitting on the ground with his eyes stabbed out. His face is covered in blood and there are only two black holes left.

it was so hard to distinguish of whether Mima was actually just seeing things like she has multiple personality disorder, or the Idol Mima was just a coping mechanism for her, or someone is indeed trying to be her. I thought she was also just hallucinating that Ruri was the one trying to be her. I wonder though how Ruri pulled off looking and acting like she was Mima and that Mima was completely in trance and believed Ruri was her other personality. There have got to be some physical differences to them right? This movie was really gold.

It was done so well too. Like they even add the part where the guy apologizes to Mima when they pause during the scene and she insists it's fine, but when the scene continues, it is still extremely uncomfortable to watch. The scene also acts as a transition into the next act of the movie since that scene is what really started to deteriorate Rumi's image of Mima and led to her beginning her murder spree. The trauma of the scene also helped lead to Mima's own mental instability afterwards (along with Rumi's influence too of course).

The scene where Mima’s character is “gang raped” is so hard to watch.

Adding more to the color scheme theory: In scenes where Mima is alone in her apartment, or when she’s living out her daily life, we can see that warm colors are being used more frequently compared to cool colors(as stated in the video). However, in scenes where she’s performing as an idol or shooting for her tv show, a lot of cool colors are seen being used, especially blue. This tells that the color blue is being used to portray a idol/actress with a seemingly perfect life or just simply the world people surround themselves in . And compared to the over saturated colors in the much darker scenes, the shade of blue is much more pleasant to the eye, showing that the public is keen of seeing a perfectly crafted world that the idols portray, like in the film. No wonder the film is called “perfect blue”

I think that how when she was in Rumi's room, she had even more fish than she started with, which is a cool way of showing how rumi is trying to take the role of the 'perfect' Mima. I might also just be misremembering though.

I just watched “Perfect Blue” for the first time without knowing anything about it. Also, “Black Swan” is one of my favorite movies. Both films are excellent but I feel like “Perfect Blue” is much more unsettling than “Black Swan” because, rather than subjecting a viewer to watch a person descend into madness, it actively makes you feel like you’re losing your sense of reality as the story progresses. You have no aspect of realism to cling onto as you watch Mima lose her mind: everything we see has the potential to be an illusion. The setting, the events, the characters, etc. We have nothing to hold onto. In “Black Swan” we had direct references of reality that made us aware of Nina’s hyperbolic views on the world: the ballet show is real, we know for a fact; we know that Lily is not sabotaging Nina; we know that Nina’s boss is a creep who needs to be avoided; etc. We are aware of these things, but Nina isn’t. That’s why you feel wary of her behavior. With Mima, though… you ARE her. You have no idea what is happening, you are as lost as she is, and by the end, you don’t know what to think. You don’t know whether to be glad, or afraid, or shocked. You’re so disconnected from the events transpiring that you don’t know how to feel about it when the credits roll. It’s terrifying.

"It's not a struggle of heroes and villains, but a conflict of attackers and victims." literal chills. that quote is so scarily accurate.

I am kinda suprised by how... Everyone is focused on that stalker... But doesn't see the closer picture of Mima's manager totally playing with her mind... By posting things from her private life online.. And sending emails to the stalker.. Actually the manager was so obsessed by the Mima-rin idol character she went as far as killing the producer photograph and sending the stalker to actually go and rape Mima and then also tried to kill her as well... She was the mastermind behind the whole thing and she basically wanted Mima's life...

my favourite part about this film was the final scene, where “mima” winks in her car mirror. the thing is, which mima is it? and that’s terrifying. this movie toys with us and makes us question whats real and whats not, thats why its scary.

When Mima takes off her glasses and throws a short gaze at us the viewers in the end through the Rear View mirror and says "No I'm real", I got chills down my spine man. Made me question if anything is real for a second. What a masterpiece! Even though it was Rumi I was convinced that it was mima "the real one" - I myself was blending into the fabric of what was the character's reality and her fantasy, that's what makes perfect blue so bone chilling and magnificently pure as an anime/manga. It truly is a mesmerizing piece of artistic vision. That's why her trauma in the movie feels so real that you suffer as well. *take a bow Satoshi Kon🙌**

perfect blue describes perfectly how i feel sometimes. i’m a classical musician and my parents want me to get really famous. the first time i felt like i was losing myself was when i was shooting a documentary about one of the professional music videos i made some while back - i wanted to say what i personally thought about it and tell people the things i got through while shooting…but there was a script i had to follow and every emotion and every thought that was not written in the script..was like it never existed, never told, wrong…it was so scary, it was like i wasnt allowed to have a mind of my own but be someone that someone else wants me to be. the second time was this year…i was doing so good- good grades, good guitar skills. my parents sat me down that day and told me i was doing horrible, that i was just being delusional about doing well and being well, that i wasn’t doing enough and that they want so much more…i lost myself then, i completely lost it- everything that i had known or thought i knew broke into pieces. the perception i had of reality was gone. i began to dissociate often, not knowing what was real and what wasn’t. it was like there was no reality and that was the scariest thing ive ever gotten through. perfect blue really shows what its like to lose yourself to the character you’ve built/the character others want you to be. i hope this never happens to any of you.

And the one person who actually kinda cared about her turned out to be the root of her suffering. This definetly reflects mental illness the best, when you're sick it seems like no one else is. You are alone.

The most terrifying thing abt this movie for me is how scarily accurate it got psychosis. I've experienced psychosis, and the blending of reality and your mind is so similar to how the movie shows it. The questioning of if you or your experiences are real and the mistaking real things for fantasy and vise versa. Absolutley terrifying shit for people who've never had it and for people who have.

I had a psychotic break while in the ICU back in 2016, when complications of Crohn's Disease caused me to go septic. Actually, I think it was after they treated the sepsis and sent me back home without discovering the root cause, causing me to have to return because my health continued to decline. Turns out, I had a fistula and abscess that had been missed for MONTHS. It was horrible not being able to trust my own brain. To this day, I still don't know what was real and what I hallucinated during that time. It started with hearing movie gangster voices coming out of my IV machine, making me think there was some sort of electronic malfunction, but when no one else heard it, it scared me. Then it progressed to hallucinating full Looney Tunes cartoons, apparently from memory, as the TV wasn't on a cartoon station. I became convinced at one point that the nurses and even my parents were in on a plot to drive me insane. Stuff would appear on the whiteboard that wasn't actually there, like poems. It was so weird. @_@ I have no other history of psychosis, and it's believed that it happened because of either a medication I was given or because I was so sick that my mind deteriorated along with my body. Hopefully, I never have such an experience ever again.

I didn't know what was real or fake, I couldn't keep track of time, I didn't know if it was day or night as I was put in a room with no windows as I had a broken a mirror in my room. The room had padding so that I didn't kill myself. I wrote my experiences and crazy ideas of what was happening to me in a journal, to the point where I genuinely believed I had super powers, telekinetic/psychic abilities.

That image shatters, and it's up to you, or the idol's fan to get that shattered image, and piece it back together. How that image once again repairs itself will depend on you, will it be fixed cheaply using gum and duct tape? Or will you take care of it as you turn this new information into molten glass and mold that image into something new, and something you can accept. And for acceptance, that depends, on you. And of course, there is also obsession like this stalker guy mentioned here, he created a world with the idol image as a foundation. And when that foundation started to crumble, he did his best to fix it.

The ending of your video analysis really gave me goosebumps as you not only perfectly described the terrifying meaning behind not only the movie but social media, while also incorporating Perfect Blue's haunting soundtrack. Well done!!

12:38 thank God I can finally breathe after that scary narrating

I really think social media is going to be part of our downfall as a society. It’s crazy that a movie from like 20 years ago can help convey that so well.

There needs to me more animated movies like Perfect Blue. It's phenomenal proof that adult-orientated animation can be so much more than just South Park-esque comedy. EDIT: Wow...this is my most liked comment ever (so far)! Thanks a ton, everyone. :)

Unfortunately there is this concept of "animation=funny time for kids or comedy time for adults" in our society, that prevents companies(also many japanese ones) from founding more serious animation projects. Animation is a fantastic media that can express much more than a live action movie, exaclty like comics and mangas can express much more than books, but it's not taken seriously enough for now, especially in western countries like US and Europe. I really hope that this general "light" view on animation will change one day.

LadyKraken yup exactly my thoughts. We people are privileged to not be like those other people and get to experience such wonderful and evocative pieces of art. Who cares what the medium (animated or live action) is as long as it is great. Personally I feel animation has more potential than real people and real settings.

Not only movies but series. Like Monster for example.

Another reason why Perfect Blue is terrifying is because it is a bit of a real scenerio. Mima is dealing with EVERY celebrity's wrost nightmare, a crazy obsessed fan who is not mentally well. look at examples like Rebecca Schaeffer, Jodie Foster, Theresa Saldana, or Christina Grimmie.

Right. In the scene where Mima agrees to the rape scene, the producer even references Jodie Foster's oscar winning role in The Accused. Foster was referenced because her obsessed stalker, John Hinkley, was so desperate to get her attention, he tried to assassinate then US president, Ronald Regan.

Yes, Foster was attending college at Yale, Hinkley enrolled in a class there so he could stalk her. But every time he would try to get together with her, she refused. So he tried to kill the US president at the time, to try to impress her. But yeah, I never found out why he tried to kill Regan until I was in college and saw the Family Guy episode "The Road to the Multiverse" where they reference him. Hinkley was just released last year after serving 35 years in a mental hospital.

I've been pushing back watching this talked about movie for so long. I just finished it 15 mins ago, and jumped to this video. Holy shit. Both Satoshi Kon and you, gained a follower. Good job on the analysis man.

One thing I noticed that might sound stupid is that they had these strange shots of the outside of her apartment just showing her lit window. It’s almost like someone was watching her and we are seeing from their perspective. It’s probably just me that sees that but when I thought of that I got really creeped out...

Rewatching this anime movie reminded me of Korean popstars or idols. Not everybody notices it, but they are not people anymore, their products used by the company to sell music. In every idol group you find, theres at least one of them admitting or breaking down in social media or video about how nobody sees them as persons. And yes, creepy fans do sneak up on stage and attempt to kidnap them, before security pulls them out.

Cherry Lasting Hmmm very interesting comment kinda reminds me of the recent lost of Kim Jong-hyun (Rest In Peace young soul) Unfortunately we have all have been pushed to mask ourselves in an effort to meet the standards of society I am very guilty of this and often feel ashamed of faking my authenticity but I find what really helps is having at least one person you can share your 'true self' with or at least a portion of that hidden self to release some of our darker emotions that are often suppressed in fear of judgement from the rest of the world who more or less goes through the same crisis but prefers to deny it and instead ridicule and label those who do step forward and admit "Yes I am not what you want me to pretend to be"as crazy,weak or weird because deep down they lacked to courage to do so because of the need in us all to be accepted and appear normal From my experience coming out of the shadows and allowing others to accept your 'ugliness' as oppose to the alter-ego you portray yourself to be in the public's eye is a healthier alternative than choosing to repress your inner feelings which often leads to being trapped in a state of deep loneliness, depression and withdrawal,thinking that no one else in the world can understand/know the real you when in reality many of them can (we're not as different as we imagine ourselves to be ). I was shocked by how much empathy was shown to towards me when I did this,of course some persons rejected me for it,many being my friends and family who were suppose to be those 'closest' to me but I soon grew to value quality other quantity, loving myself and those who still saw value in me when I was at my lowest moments and appreciating me for it, revealing themselves to me in return But it would seem addressing this issue is made much more difficult for celebs and in general,anyone who is constantly pushed into the spotlight. It's as if they are always expected to be almost barbie or machine-like at all times displaying near perfect behaviour with hardly any room allowed to be human in order to indulge the illusionary fantasies and dreams of the masses at the expense of their own reality It's like the industries only see them as money-making robot/puppets/slaves as soon as they reach a certain level of stardom much like how our governments tend to only see the population as a source of expendable income, raising and working us like "cattle" so to speak in an effort to keep the economy afloat often suffocating citizens who show signs of thinking or acting outside the conventional norms established by our matrix It's definitely tragic that many of our celebs/entertainers that give us so much joy and memories are forced into this troubling position both by us (the fans and media) and by their seniors (the managers, record label owners etc) What saddens me as well is that they don't appear to have many people in their life if any at all that they feel they can genuinely reach out to for help

Good stuff there. Great work. always fun to find something new or rewatched by you.

Just watched this movie last night and I was absolutely blown away. The things that were done in this movie especially towards the end was just unbelievable

SPOILER: ok so when I watched the movie I didn't really focus much on the stalker but Rumi. It was because I thought it was kind of weird why she kept butting into Mima's life and why she cared so much. I knew that it was her job as the manager but I kept thinking about it. Why did she prevent Mima from becoming a actress? Why did she cry so much when Mima's "perfect idol picture" was ruined by the rape scene. Of course it pieces all together at the end when it reveals her disorder but in movies like these you have to keep questioning about the tiniest details because they can lead you to the final answer

@nojam6212
