Bro did you even watch the movie properly.
1) Rumi
2) Yes she was hallucinating
3) That fat chick didn't have the looks to make it in the industry so she fantasized about it. When they recorded the sex scene with mima she was furious because it hurt her hallucinations where she was the pure girl.
4) It is left to us to decipher that. I probably think that it didn't happen.

About the 4. question I think its happend. Remember Mima hit stalker with a hammer he got a huge damage but it didn't kill the stalker. After that he kill someone again and he dies here (I may be misremembering this scene little) because he got a lot brain damage so he died of a cerebral hemorrhage.

The first 3 questions have already been answered so I won't bother with that. About the 4th question, that's up to your own interpretation. Actually most of the movie is supposed to be a personal experience and the events are ambiguous on purpose. I personally believe the stalker and the rape part were not real. Mima's mental state at this point in the film is not stable due to the many terrible experiences she's been through. 

Either way, Perfect Blue is a film that needs at least 1 rewatch in order to fully comprehend everything that happened, since usually on your 1st watch it's hard to distinguish its themes properly and you don't know what to expect nor how to interpret certain events. The main thing you need to understand is the main theme of "obsession" and that everything in Perfect Blue revolves around it.

I have a question tho. Who was making posts on the internet about Mima's daily life? At this point, I think it was Rumi. The guy who was indeed obsessed with Mima didn't had a chance to know what she was talking about with Rumi. Did Mima hallucinate about him standing on a set and him being her main tormentor because he "looked" the part?
Maybe it was said in a movie and I didn't notice 🤔

It's foreshadowed in the earlier part of film where Rumi is shown to be more adept at using a computer and the web.

omg everyone's so arrogant around here, I don't think your questions are at all stupid and I think the movie was purposely blurry and played around with the hallucinations so well everyone would get their own interpretations.
like, at no point it's like 'yeah so this is real and this is a fantasy' or anything, and it just makes it a whole lot more appealing!
so don't worry if some points are unclear, you definitely watched the movie properly :) it was meant this way

The thing is, It's one of the movies which can be compared with the Modern Art style in Panting. You can Only understand them when you have excessive knowledge about the field/industry. This movie's never meant for all viewers who seek a casual entertainment, rather it's more focused on film connoisseurs (I mean the people who have been watching such films for years). You'd find many films like this one & You should either avoid them or rewatch them (until you develop the imagination that the director/storywriter imagined in the movie).
I'm saying again "This isn't a movie you'd watch for casual entertainment it never meant for that purpose."

That's such a bullshit elitist gatekeeping.

Everyone has their own thoughts, I respect your opinion that you disagree with my point. But be in charecter dude! don't get hostile here! If you can't respect the opinion of others why even being a part of a public discussion?

My best advice is to rewatch the film and also research the book it was based off of. The director has some interviews about this film too you can watch.

Man... I wasn't expecting this movie to have a fanbase of know it all elitists. I came here to see what everyone thought about that ending.

Here's what I got from it with only 1 watch:


  • Stalker-san managed the website, Rumi did not she only knew how to use a computer being the fat nerd that she is.
  • Stalker-san killed the script writer. Rumi felt extremely uncomfortable with the grape scene and her ideal view of mima was shattering
  • Stalker-san had his own sort of mental delusions, so did Rumi. Mima started developing severe mental stress after career swapping, discovering that she was being stalked and the grape scene.
  • Rumi killed the photograher after profaning her idol then planted the evidence in Mima's room since she had access to it.
  • Stalker-san tried to rape Mima, that was not Rumi. Rumi did not kill Stalker-San.
  • Stalker-san had brain damage and double death after fighting with manager-san
  • Rumi lost it and tried to kill Mima
  • The ending is where i'm unclear because it looked to me that Mima turned into Rumi after a mental breakdown, Rumi lost weight and turned into Mima... But i'll just go that Rumi was crazy with multiple personality disorder and Mima is the one that drove off in her car.

Neither can Mima, and that's the whole point: To put yourself at her shoes, we call this an "unreliable narrator".
(Also, assume that everyone answering with "It's obvious, did you even watch the film?" got at least one thing wrong, that being the nature of it)

R1NN_ said:
1. Who's the killer?


ME-MANIA and Rumi. Rumi asked him to kill and it's implied that she killed her in the end after he "outlived his usefulness".

R1NN_ said:
2. Is the 'idol pop' Mima where Mima hallucinate the whole movie was actually Rumi? Or its just her hallucinations because she still don't accept herself being an acto


It depends on the scene, most of them other than the ones at the very end are just Mima hallucinating. (Both Mima and RUmi were having a "Folie à deux"

R1NN_ said:
3. If it's actually Rumi, then why Rumi did that to Mima?


Because that's "Rumi", but that's not Rumi: It's a coping persona where Rumi projects herself to be Mima, the Idol.

R1NN_ said:
4. The scene where actually the stalker tried to r#p# Mima was actually reall???


It's hard to respond what's real and what's not because, being an "unreliable narrator" story, it's all purposefully left ambiguous. (Hence why there are conflicting answers to some of your questions).
But due to her torn clothing, it is assumed that it was real.

Dullop said:
I can't imagine what would you do if you watch Lain.


Lain is only confusing if you assume it to be confusing: In reality, it barely has any plot, and the plot it has is laid very explicit in exposition scenes.
It's just that the majority of Lain is composed of scenes that are there mostly for "vibes" rather than for the plot (Yes, like the "Alien with Lain's head" scene or Lain's sister becoming a router).

PikaboyTK said:

This and the fact that there are some information there that only Rumi could have access to due to being at the scene, and also the scene of ME-MANIA at his bedroom (It wouldn't make sense for ME-MANIA to be exchanging e-mails with himself... though initially it's left ambiguous to it being the case since he's a literal schizo).

AKIRA isn't convoluted either. It's just that the manga wasn't finished at the time, so the last 15 minutes of the film have an asspulled plot.

Well, I just watched it and understood almost everything which the film offered. So here it is,
•Rumi is a retired idol. I think it is implied during the discussion between Rumi and the man who is always seen with Mima.
Now,
1. Rumi is the killer
2. The 'idol pop' Mima in most of the film was an hallucination of Mima because of the long exposure to the home page 'Mima's Room' and the contradiction to the things happening with her.
Inthe last few minutes, the 'idol pop' Mima was Rumi.
3. For why Rumi did all this, By 'all this' I mean- Killing the producer and the photographer, ordering the stalker to kill Mima, killing the stalker because he wasn't able to kill Mima and also killing the manager of Mima( or her agency ).
She did all this because Mima entered the acting industry and acted in the grape scene which tarnished the image of a pure pop idol. All this led her to creating a split personality in which she is the 'pop idol' Mima and thus there was a need to kill the tarnished Mima in her perspective.
4. Yes, that scene was real and the reason is that Rumi in the personality of the 'pop idol' Mima e-mailed the stalker to kill Mima. That scene was a result of that order.
