Title: Don't believe the hype
Product review: Martin Scorsese once said a good movie should accomplish two things: 1) It should teach you something new about the film-making process, and 2) It should teach you something new about the human condition.That said, this film does neither.It's nothing but a bunch of overrated Hitchcock clichés. It adds nothing to the "psycho-thriller" genre. I was utterly bored with it. As for the animation, it's far from top-notch. In fact, there's no reason for this film to be animated at all; it doesn't come close to using the medium to its potential. It's just a live-action film that happens to be animated, and the animation itself is very stiff and choppy.Hey, I'm a big fan of Ghost in the Shell and Princess Mononoke, amongst others. Perfect Blue doesn't compare to either of these seminal films...
