Perfect Blue/Tear Jerker: Difference between revisions

** "I guess I went to Harajuku today..." turned this troper's face into [[Too Much Information|a heap of snotty mush]], because it signifies Mima's absolute lowest point in terms of sanity - she doesn't trust her own perceptions '''at all''' any more (although, who can blame her? It's a [[Satoshi Kon|Kon-sensei]] movie). Conversely, Mima's climactic cry of [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|"Like I even care! I AM MYSELF!"]] was a thing of beauty that made this troper weep with joy.

*** What makes these moments more tear-jerking is that the movie is a rather disturbing example of [[Break the Cutie]]. In the first half of the movie, Mima is a very nice and pleasant lady (albeit a little ditzy), and I don't know if it was just in the English dub or not, but she only swore once in the whole movie even while the other characters were cursing like sailors. Plus she's kind of hot, especially in that costume she wore for the concert. ''I'd'' go out with her ([[Guilty Pleasures|if she weren't a fictional character, that is]]).
