- perfect blue (1997) → black swan (2010) dir. darren aronofsky

The entirety of black swan is literally tackier and worse perfect blue lmfao
darren aronofsky purchased rights to perfect blue so he could recreate that bath tub scene in requiem for a dream without fear of being accused of stealing. on top of this, he wanted to eventually make a live action adaptation of it though his plans fell through.
now here’s the joke: he went on to make black swan, which shares blatant visuals and story elements with perfect blue and then……… tried to deny black swan was influenced by perfect blue……… like okay
the verse just makes this better though
Galatians 4:16 “So now have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?”
