Yeah it hasn’t aged well and after watching Perfect Blue it seems kind of damning how much was ripped from that. Perfect Blue btw is an absolutely amazing film if you haven’t seen it.
Aronofsky ripped black swan off perfect blue too
agreed that Perfect Blue is really good, but the SA/R scene was way over the top and i wish it wasn't in there
Thanks for mentioning this, as I sometimes forget to bring it up, though people should be aware of it before they go see it. I agree that scene is very uncomfortable and difficult to watch (very much intentional on the part of the director), but I personally felt like it did have a important role in the story and character development, and was a pretty key part of the film in general.
how's it a rip off? haven't seen perfect blue but the synopsis doesn't seem to have much in common with requiem
He basically ripped entire scenes from the movie without getting any kind of permission and then copied it again with Black Swan. Good article about it here: https://animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-real-history-of-perfect-blue
I'll have to check it out, thanks
Just a warning though, as someone else mentioned, big CW on this for an SA scene in the film that’s difficult to watch.
