Trivia:
The film indicates that she has been linked to earthquakes: she was born during the Great Kanto Earthquake, so her birth date is September 1, 1923; She gave up her career after another great earthquake, perhaps based on the Niigata earthquake (occurred on June 16, 1964), and Chiyoko dies during another earthquake: The Western Honshu earthquake (occurred on October 6, 2000). moreGoofs:
Continuity: The length of the key changes several times. moreQuotes:
Eiko Shimao: [Eiko and Chiyoko appear dressed as prisoners] Another stupid!, Just tell them what they want to know.Chiyoko Fujiwara: I can't tell them what I don't know, but won't speak if I knew it. I will never betray him!
Eiko Shimao: Hmpf, You're a little silly! That's what you say now... but the feelings change.
Chiyoko Fujiwara: I will never change! I will love him forever!
Eiko Shimao: Right...

Disney Eisner and his crew both on their best day and in their wettest dream could and would never make a film as good as this or "Perfect Blue" or anything by Miyazaki. That's why they import it and put their name on it though...this way the prestige can rub off on them. Hey, something has to keep DisneyCorp at least semi-respected by the animation world and its fans.
This is a wonderful film with a rich and powerful story, combined with episodic and grandiose animation and "cinematography" that just keeps your eyes and mind glued to it at all times. Rent this. Buy this. Live this.
