Perfect Blue

Perfect Blue is a drama, psych movie. Take one part "Matrix", one part "My Little Pony", and one part being fucked in the skull by an overweight clown. This movie will screw you up equally well. You'll have to watch this anime at least twice to understand it at all. And if you aren't super smart, or Jesus, good luck even then.

The main character here is named Mima. Mima is a teen idol pop star. At the beginning of this movie, Mima leaves her group, Cham, to branch off as an actress. Damn Mima! If it weren't for her, none of this would EVER have started. Then, we have Mima's manager and best friend, Rumi. She has the power to turn into a hopping bunny fairy! More on her later. And finally, the crazy mole-looking freak, from here on known as. . . "Crazy Mole Freak", or CMF.

Now for some plot. . . Perfect Blue is a movie within a movie within a movie, within a dream, within a movie, within a mindrape. I'll try to simplify that. When Mima leaves her band, many people are depressed about it. One such man is CMF. Mima's manager, a die-hard fan, feels the same. Rumi poses as Mima online to trick CMF. She gets him to believe that she is actually Mima and that Mima is an impostor. CMF then goes out to kill the real Mima. Eventually, he is killed BY Mima. She stabs the ugly bastard. . . a lot. . . in the eye. . . Sweet.
Finally, Rumi begins to actually think that SHE IS Mima. She dresses like her and goes to kill the real Mima. Now, everything gets (even further) screwed up. Because Rumi thinks that she is Mima, we see both characters as Mima. Mima kills Mima and Mima survives! Yea!!! Go Mima!! (The real one wins.)

This movie just hurts me. . . physically hurts me.
I'm just gunna list everything wrong with it now. . .
1. Movie within a movie within a headache. Way too much of that.
2. Rumi, as Mima, learns to fly. . . She gets a pretty pink skirt and gets pretty. I dunno; maybe every psycho is magic.
3. I swear that I saw the same damn guy die four times. . . HOW?!?
4. Mima sees a website about her. . .and is scared by it. . . IDIOT!! Of all the warnings, this one does NOT mean stalker. . .
5. No, really. It REALLY hurt me. . . Ouch.

Despite confusing the immortal shit out of me, this movie was still not terrible. Rape scenes always rule. Whether you know if they are real or not. And I don't. Unfortunately, every character in this movie hallucinates at at least one point. By the end, you will too. Just remember which pants are yours and whose nose to pick at the end. You'll be fine. On the Danny scale, this gets 6 out of 10 raging head contusions.
