Perfect Blue: The original "Dark sawn"

When I was a child I had listened about the name of the movie "Black Swan", but my parents said me "You can´t see it, you´re too young". And saying anyone not to do something- it´s the best way to make they do it. So, the next week I was in the house of my friend Rocío watching the movie. For my short age I through: "It´s truly amazing the way they filmed an extreme change of the character just to get an important role in her job. And much she had to loose for just a little minute of fame and. How she could kill herself. It’s surprising how much you can feel though the screen" But I really think the best was the idea of the movie. 

  For a long time I continue thinking the same, but my uncle said that the movie was based on another Japanese movie called "Perfect Blue". I didn´t really trust him, because I was still thinking it was the better movie of the entire world and it was too original, for that reason, so many time has passed until I decided to see Perfect Blue

  I saw “Perfect Blue” this summer, with my boyfriend. At the beginning It has so much colors that I didn´t like it. And...  It wasn´t a "real movie" with real actors, all the characters were draws (like an anime), and it was the story of an "idol", a typical Japanese public figure, who have to wear cute clothes and act like sweet and innocents girls (even if they´re not), they event are parts of music groups... I sincere prefer Natalie Portman as a ballet dancer. But, without talking about the job of the protagonist, the two movies was very similar: The first good girl, who can´t get the role she wanted with only her effort, and have to change herself even at the level of losing the her, and the focus of the film was the same show the psychological change. Even the too movies has the same scene in the tub with the personal character screaming in the water...

After watching the movie, I search information about the two movies. And, actually, Perfect Blue was published at 1997, more than 10 years before Black Swan. The both are psychological thrillers... And the creator of Black swan paid the rights of Perfect blue to make a remake!
 "Perfect Blue" is an unknown movie and the Dark Swan had a lot of awards, I really thing Natalie Portman made an awesome performance, but at the same time I think people should know the movie isn´t the original movie. 


I don´t think of Perfect blue as my favorite movie, because I don´t have one... But, Is a great movie, and is a little more complicated than Black Swan, when I finish the movie they were many thing I didn’t understand... But if you can always see it again or search the explication jajaja
