Center
Primary
The film is a psychological thriller primarily focused on an individual's identity crisis and the blurring of reality, with its critique of entertainment industry exploitation being more cultural and psychological than explicitly political, thus not aligning with a specific political ideology.
The film features a cast consistent with its Japanese cultural setting, without engaging in explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative critiques the exploitative nature of the entertainment industry and the objectification of women, but this is presented within the specific context of the story rather than as a broad, explicit critique of traditional identities.
Secondary
Perfect Blue is a psychological thriller that explores themes of identity, reality, and the dark side of fame through its protagonist, Mima Kirigoe. The film does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes, focusing instead on Mima's psychological breakdown and the dangers of the entertainment industry.
The film "Perfect Blue" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on psychological horror, identity crisis, and the blurring of reality within the entertainment industry, without engaging with gender identity issues.
