christopher nolan was found dead
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Was confused by what the blu ray box meant by 'contains sexualised violence' until he stuck his fist in her vagina and reached all the way up to her brain and pulled her skin off.
unrelated, this is a fucking masterpiece
For as vibrant as this film is with its imagery this is dark as hell, which is something I suppose is a norm for Satoshi Kon’s work.
He looks at animation in a different way than what I’m used to. Sure he understands the possibilities that come with the medium in terms of interesting character design and abstract locations. But he also understands the ways at which you can use surrealism in a more naturalistic way. For as confusing as this was at times it always felt intentional and, more than anything, realistic. I wouldn’t even say I was confused, I was just lost. But in a cool way, ya know?
I think once I rewatch—because I’ve never been more positive that I missed most of the point—I’m sure I’ll love this even more.
Christopher nolan you have some explaining to do bitch
Hmm...I definitely vibed with the animation, sound design, direction, editing, all that good stuff. But to me, this lacked the emotional investment needed for one of these kinds of intentionally confusing and disorienting films to work. Perfect Blue managed to be more overwhelming to the senses AND more emotionally impactful by perfectly getting you into its protagonist's fractured headspace. This, by comparison, felt stretched in far too many directions for me to really connect with anything going on. I also don't really get the Inception comparisons - yes, people invade other people's dreams, but that's sort of where the plot similiarities end. Inception may lack an emotional core to some extent, but it has the benefit of an enthralling clear-cut…
“Don't you think dreams and the internet are similar? They are both areas where the repressed conscious mind vents.”

impressive that they found a way to animate what a migraine feels like.
I sneezed during this film and got completely lost
