I really need to see this movie, the symbolism and storytelling touch on everything that is going on right now as you pointed out. I appreciate the cinematography that went into this, the filmed segments were awesome and they fit perfectly. Thanks for the shoutout btw
Something else I picked up on was the theme of celebrities and public personas having the potential to take on their own life (separate from the actual person) within the mind of an obsessive fan or the collective consciousness of a fanbase. This creates a separation between the actual person and their “celebrity persona” which Satoshi Kon shows through the idol image of Mima. This is kind of like what we saw with the iDubbbz incident (where fans felt betrayed by his girlfriend’s OnlyFans) it also reminds me of how the Björk stalker felt betrayed by her relationship with Goldie (possibly because it betrayed a projection of who Björk was in his head) and eventually tried to kill her. Ultimately, there’s a lot of analysis that can be made here and I can see why the video needed to be as long as it was. Great in depth video. I hope there will be more videos on animated movies to come.
Something else that I didn't add in (because I couldn't find a good spot to put it) was how her two agents represent the two directions she can take - the past (going back to singing) or the future (acting in films and tv while also becoming edgier). It's funny that I thought this video was only going to be 7 minutes long at first. But even in 16 minutes, I can't cover everything, and I don't want to. I just want to get people thinking about the movie a bit more in depth so they can discover things about the film themselves. It was fun analyzing an animated movie and I think my next animated film analysis will be about Jan Svankmajer's "Alice" (1988) though I can't really tell you when that video will drop.
I watched this movie last week and it was so so good. I've wanted to see it for a long time but I waited for the right moment until I'm 100% focused and it's so worth it.
Man. This actually reminds me of Filthy Frank/Joji of all people. Many fans of Filthy Frank, although I would say that they didn't go as far as feeling betrayed, would most likely feel disappointed by Joji's decision to go from comedy to singing. Hell, many fans would most likely choose for Joji to return to being Filthy Frank, even if Joji admitted that the role has damaged both his throat as well as some screws in his head. I am just glad that his situation is not as crazy as it is with the some of the more popular idols in Japan/Worst Korea in all honesty.
Great video as always, I watched the movie a year or so ago and had very similar thoughts. I didn't know that it was almost live action, while the circumstances around it being an anime are unfortunate, I'm happy it turned out that way. The animation is amazing and adds a lot.
Relating to that assault sequence that Mima has to enact, I often think that it is referencing that 1988 Jodie Foster film The Accused, which revolves around a group attack scene and at the time was seen as showing Foster transitioning from her child actor days (albeit also with a nod towards her Taxi Driver role) and into more mature roles, especially once she won the Oscar for Best Actress. And of course Foster was no stranger to stalkers with the John Hinckley Jnr indicent.
Can I just say that the sudden transition at 13:25 was brilliant? Having had that ominous reflection lurking in the background while you were talking up until then, my eyes immediately kicked into high alert and started scanning the trees for danger as soon as the scenery changed. You're horrible and I love it
Am only in agreement with you here, but the idea that OnlyFans, especially with its many transactional aspects, is a 'substitute' girlfriend is almost a disturbing euphemism for what any healthy relationship actually involves.
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...
There are a few outstanding works, that definitely deserve to be seen. The catalogues of Kon and Miyazaki, Neon Genesis Evangelion (+End of Evangelion), Cowboy Bebop... but the vast majority of it is trash, lol (trust me, I've seen far too many)
This is a great video that does an excellent job at both analyzing Perfect Blue and discussing parasocial relationships in the internet age, but I gotta ask… How incompetent do you have to be to stab someone _34 times_ and _almost_ kill them?
I feel like you and alot of people miss the point of Perfect Blue calling out the pop idol industry and its horrible practices for how it treats the people involved in it and turn it into a story of personal failure when no actually Mima and Rumiko are victims of a system that uses and exploits women. Itannot just a matter of cultural differences a woman shaved her head to save her career and apologized online fot having sex with her boyfriend. The pop idol industry needs to be burned down.

@gray whistler121 Partly the association with children's cartoons, partly the way you cannot read a cartoon character's expressions like you can a real person. Instead you have to rely on the excessively telegraphed emoting the animator and voice actor put in, which gives animated films an over-dramatic and thus artificial quality.
@@mostlyholy6301 I would give animation a chance. it's true that animation has a harder time capturing the subtle nuances of real life actors, but it can convey emotion in ways that live action can't because it doesn't allow for the same suspension of disbelief. Like how studio Ghibli uses an expressionistic approach to convey how something feels instead of what it actually looks like. How their hair rises slightly when the characters are surprised and how the earthquake in The wind rises makes the ground move like a big wave. I agree that the big box office animated movies can feel childish and overdramatic but animation is a medium, not a genre and there's so much good and diverse stuff out there even for adults.
Remember to submit your SNEED films to me BEFORE the 29th!
Satoshi Kon's absence from the film industry is horrible and not one other director is even close to filling in his shoes.
We lost him too soon.
No one is as close to his visual and narrative creativity

What can I say? It was one of my favorite videos of yours!
I really feel bad for Minami Minegishi. don't know why she has to apologize to her fans about what she did. I hope she's doing well now.
Idol culture is different

It’s telling that human nature hasn’t changed all that much.

such a wonderful film, thank you for reviewing it 😊🙏
A somber story of the perils of girlbossdom, rings as true today as it did in 1997😔
while the production was changed due to the kobe earthquake , Kon stated again and again that he never had any interest in making live action movies.

When you do narrations in various areas outside, it kind of reminds me of Pete and Pete, which did a similar thing. I like it.
She's literally me, like I am literally an animated pop idol turned actress.
this video is very well made, you deserve more interaction!
i am living in your walls
Thanks for the analysis on a really interesting film man! God bless you :)

Is it okay to feel scared of this movie? Sometimes I can't help but feel weak...
i knew i, a white male teenager, should have applied to the role of the asian girl. i would have done so much better than robelle
idol culture in japan is fucking crazy like
satoshi kon grabbed a hammer, broke my skull, took my brain, and put it in a blender.
Sooo... how ya feeling?
I think I might need to start watching anime now.
I'm a bit worried about this self realization too. lmao
There are a few outstanding works, that definitely deserve to be seen.
The catalogues of Kon and Miyazaki, Neon Genesis Evangelion (+End of Evangelion), Cowboy Bebop...
but the vast majority of it is trash, lol (trust me, I've seen far too many)
I mean that's the majority of any medium
@@samk6170 cast aside the stigma. Watch anime.
Amazing video as always
I noticed another thing in the movie
Contrast in the colour gets more intense as the movie progress
