The main difference between the two films is age. As Spirited Away ends up more of a children's film and Perfect Blue is a long way from that. It's not just the sexual content and violence that makes Perfect Blue more for adults. It's Rumi. Mima is a 21-year-old with her whole life ahead of her. But Rumi is older.

Mulholland Drive was the very first movie I thought of when watching Perfect Blue.

Aronofsky denies it, but Black Swan is a retelling of the Japanese anime film Perfect Blue. Back in 2000, he referenced Perfect Blue in Requiem for a Dream, doing a full recreation of a shot—like, straight up copy and paste. Which is fine. There's nothing wrong with that kind of homage. But the main character in Perfect Blue is named Mima.

This lack of voyeurism is why BTS's Black Swan refuses the dichotomy of real and fake that both Perfect Blue and the film Black Swan seem to be entrapped by.

I got Perfect Blue as a Christmas gift because my boyfriend had read on Cracked and other sources on the internet that Black Swan - one of my favourite films - appears to lift from it and have been influenced a great deal by it despite Aronofsky denying it. He acknowledges similarities but denies the influence there. When we watched it, it was clear as day to me where the similarities lay and.
