It Keeps You ThinkingI had to watch this movie because John kept insisting on watching it with us. This was the first time I've seen an anime movie, and it was probably wasn't the greatest one to start with. It's about a pop singer who decides to transition to acting. The movie quickly descends into chaos as it Mima as she is stalked by two insane characters throughout the movie. Each character enables the other's descent into insanity in a chain of surreal events. By the end of the movie, I didn't know what actually happened and what was fake.
I don't want to give away too much be over-explaining the plot. If you've ever seen the movie Black Swan, its basically the same concept, but with extra levels of insanity. I don't know what to think about this movie. I think its a movie I need to see twice to form an opinion on. While I didn't enjoy watching this movie a whole lot while watching it, I have to admit I spent a couple days thinking about it. It deserves some credit for that, right? Writing this review makes me want to watch the movie again. The twist ending is so far out there, I never could have seen it coming. It was probably one of, if not the best reveal I've ever seen in film. It's so far out, it didn't even make sense at first. A good twist is one you don't see coming, but is obvious once its revealed to you. A great twist is Perfect Blue. I could go pretty deep into theories about this film. The ending explains a lot, but it also leaves some parts unexplained. Again, I don't want to spoil anything. It's hard to recommend this movie because it takes a certain person and a certain mindset to enjoy this movie. I've never seen anything even remotely similar to it, so it's difficult to rate it as well. All I can say is if you want a movie that really messes with your head, this is your Holy Grail. 10/10
