| Anyone else noticed the similarities between these? Actually i havent watched Black Swan yet but there are some similar scenes. Here is a link that describe the similarities well |
| I've read about it and it does sound slightly similar to Perfect Blue in certain aspects. |
| Darren Aronofsky, who directed Black Swan, bought the rights to Perfect Blue when he was making Requiem for a Dream, basically so he could lift the scene of Mima screaming under water straight to his own film, which he did. I guess he wanted his money's worth because the similarities are staggering between Perfect Blue and Black Swan, so much so that I knew what the twists were and when they would happen. Black Swan was good, and it had different elements and details to tell a similar story, I just wish he had given more acknowledgement to Perfect Blue and Satoshi Kon, either as inspiration, source material or rip off. |
| I noticed that too, while watching, I'm glad it wasn't only my immagination :D |
 |
| Well, it's good to know I was not crazy ^^ Blakc Swan is a good movie but I do love Perfect Blue so I guess that was what made me like Black Swan so much xDD |
Also this. Now, what does "American filming rights" actually mean? |
| Hollywood never ceases to annoy me. |

| The creator of Black Swan purchased the rights to remake Perfect Blue, so there you have it Black Swan is a Perfect Blue remake. |
 |
| Even without the lesbian sex scene in Black Swan, it was still an incredible feat for Natalie Portman, and I personally enjoy watching it over and over. Amazing directing and cinematography from Aronofsky's staff. He's a great film maker. Yeah, he loves that tub scene in Perfect Blue which is why he bought the rights. In Requiem for a Dream he also used it for Jennifer Connelly, just to show her anguish in dealing with withdrawl. Aronofsky is one of the better directors in this decade, and there aren't too many who can match his level when dealing with Psychological Thrillers. |
