“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 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.

" 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.
