- Fight Club
- Perfect Blue
- Paprika
- Saw
- Girl Interrupted
I also analysed a few of them. Covering the storyline, music and characters and in case if it's animated, I also analysed the art style and such. Two of the films I analysed are animated; Perfect Blue and Paprika. They're both by the same director; Satoshi Kon, so they contain similar art styles and character designs.
However one relates more closely to my theme of mental illness.
Perfect Blue is about an actress and her manager. The story covers mental illnesses such as split personality disorder and folie à deux. Folie à deux is a new illness I learnt about after watching the film, it's a rather interesting disorder which means an illness shared by two.
I found this film to be very beautifully constructed. Although it is based on a book, having it made into an animation naturally brings it to life. The animation style is beautiful along with the character design. I think they fit the genre very much, and although it would come under the genre of Anime, it still has a very distinct visual appearance and style of character.
Films with what you would call a plot twist are my favourite kind, both Perfect Blue and Fight Club contain two amazingly constructed story lines that lead to a huge plot twist. Although it was a little hard to keep up with because of the complex story line.
Fight Club, on the other hand, had a rather simple and on point storyline. A club where people fight. However the plot's turning point and the big revelation of character is breathtaking and dimly amazing. It was almost impossible not to analyse this film after watching it and receiving many recommendations. I just wish no one had given me the spoiler before I watched it so I could have had a better reaction.
