Influence
In 2010 Darren Aronofsky acknowledged there being similarities between Perfect Blue and his film Black Swan, but said that it was not an influence. Kon blogged about meeting Aronofsky in 2001. A recently re-issued blog entry mentioned Aronofsky's film Requiem for a Dream as being among Kon's list of movies he viewed for that year. Aronofsky personally purchased and still holds the American rights to Perfect Blue for the infamous bathtub scene in Requiem For A Dream.

Famous quotes containing the word influence:
“The Spirit of Place [does not] exert its full influence upon a newcomer until the old inhabitant is dead or absorbed. So America.... The moment the last nuclei of Red [Indian] life break up in America, then the white men will have to reckon with the full force of the demon of the continent.”

—Ellen Galinsky (20th century)
“Mothers have as powerful an influence over the welfare of future generations, as all other causes combined.”
