Como ya les he dicho, Satoshi Kon es a mi parecer uno de los grandes exponentes del anime en Japón, ya que después de hacer a Perfect Blue demostró todo lo que era capaz de realizar en una sola película y la calidad de MadHouse como casa animadora. El caso que nos trae aquí, sin embargo, no es el de su opera prima, sino el de su segundo trabajo, Millennium Actress. La historia va acerca de un... read more

Ninguna reseña jamás le hará justicia a esta película porque una reseña no sería suficiente. Es el mejor trabajo de Satoshi Kon, al menos desde mi punto de vista, porque es el que engloba el significado más profundo y al mismo tiempo creo que más duro de toda su filmografía. Millennium Actress trata el destino, y metafóricamente el Eterno Retorno en las reencarnaciones de una chica, sus ... read more

/Major spoilers alert!/ I haven't seen any anime film for a while, not since "Spirited Away" a couple of years ago, and even "Spirited Away" was the creation of Hayao Miyazaki, whose style I've become quite familiar with since the days of "Nausicaä" and "Totoro." In fact, the only Japanese anime movies I was exposed to was those of Ghibli Studio, so I didn't know what to expect from "Millennium A... read more

Millennium Actress trata el destino, y metafóricamente el Eterno Retorno en las reencarnaciones de una chica, sus vidas son las "actuaciones" de "grandes películas" (una metáfora preciosa). Ella siempre vive lo mismo, con las mismas personas, sin alcanzar su objetivo jamás, recurriendo a los mismos errores como condena kármica. Al final sin embargo ella no rompe el destino, lo acepta. Porque es en el viaje que está la belleza de su existencia, la condena puede ser transfigurada en bendición.” read more

Satoshi Kon's second best film

“My first choice goes to Paprika, though that, this, Tokyo Godfathers and Perfect Blue(in order of personal preference) are extremely good. Millennium Actress is outstanding in every regard. The animation style is both beautiful and surreal, which is a very good mix. The music is truly wonderful, ethereal and haunting, without overbearing or underplaying the drama. The dialogue is thought-provoking and emotionally complex. Millennium Actress really is also a masterstroke in storytelling, there is always something happening yet the story manages to be told in poignant, truthful, thoughtful and sometimes funny ways. The characters are interesting and well-defined, as well as always relateable to the audience. The voice acting does nothing to undermine this, being dynamic and expressive. Overa” read more

"En definitiva una de las mejores producciones de satoshi kon, con un muy conmovedor drama y resolución que termina resonando en la mente del espectador gracias a lo ingeniosa que es su historia y la increíble dirección que esta posee. "

Movies I Watched in May 2020 (34 movies items)

" Date: 5/30/2020 Viewed: Blu-Ray Re-Watch Note: It's been a while since I have seen this movie and I got the movie on Blu-Ray last Christmas. I decided to watch the English dub from VSI/Eleven Arts because I only have seen the movie in subbed and I was curious to see what the dub sounded like. I honestly like this movie better on a second viewing. I do think the non-linear characteristic can be confusing at times for people who are not used to that type of storytelling. The non-linear story"

My biggest disappointments in entertainment (139 tv items)

"Satoshi Kon is hailed as one of the best, if not THE best anime director of all time, and to be honest I too think he was great, but his films don't work for me. The only one I loved was Perfect Blue, other than that, I didn't enjoy a single one of his movies (unless we count Magnetic Rose, which I find to be the best thing he has ever done), with this in particular being the more disappointing to me, because it was often referred as similar, and even better than Perfect Blue. To its credit, so"
