[[Harry Potter (character)|Harry Potter]] is a seemingly ordinary boy living with the [[Dursley family|Dursleys]], his only remaining relatives who treat him badly, in [[Little Whinging]], [[Surrey]], [[England]]. In 1991,<ref>https://legacy.hp-lexicon.org/timelines/calendars/calendar_ps.html</ref> after inadvertently causing an accident on a family outing and receiving several unsolicited letters by owl, [[Rubeus Hagrid]] appears and informs Harry that he is a [[Wizard (fantasy)|wizard]], known for being the first and only one to survive an attack by [[Lord Voldemort]], a once-powerful dark wizard who terrorized the Wizarding World and murdered those who stood in his way, including Harry's parents [[James and Lily Potter]]. Hagrid reveals to Harry that he has been accepted into [[Hogwarts|Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry]]. After buying his school supplies from the hidden London street, [[Diagon Alley]], Harry boards the train to Hogwarts via the concealed [[Platform 9¾]] in [[King's Cross Station]]. |
|||
On the train Harry meets [[Ron Weasley]], a boy from a large but poor pure-blood wizarding family, and [[Hermione Granger]], a witch born to non-magical parents. Once they arrive Harry and all the other first-year students are sorted between four houses: [[Gryffindor]], [[Hufflepuff]], [[Ravenclaw]], and [[Slytherin]]. Because Slytherin is noted for being the house of darker wizards and witches, Harry convinces the Sorting Hat not to put him in Slytherin. He ends up in Gryffindor along with Ron and Hermione. Ron's older brothers were all placed in Gryffindor as well: mischievous twins Fred and George, Percy the prefect, Charlie (who researches dragons in Romania) and Bill (who works for [[Gringotts Bank]]). |
|||
At Hogwarts Harry begins learning wizardry and discovers more about his past and his parents. He gets recruited for Gryffindor's [[Quidditch]] (a sport in the wizarding world where people fly on [[broom]]sticks) team as a [[Seeker (Quidditch)|Seeker]], as his father was before him. One night he, Ron, and Hermione discover [[Cerberus|a large three-headed dog]] named Fluffy (owned by Hagrid) on a restricted floor in the school. They later find out Fluffy is guarding the [[Philosopher's Stone]], an item that can be used to grant its owner immortality. Harry concludes that his potions teacher, the unfriendly [[Severus Snape]], is trying to obtain the stone in order to return Voldemort (who Harry encounters in the Forbidden Forest where he, Ron, Hermione, and Draco Malfoy are serving detention by helping Hagrid look for an injured [[unicorn]] after being caught wandering around at night) to a human form. |
|||
After hearing from Hagrid that Fluffy will fall asleep if played music, Harry, Ron and Hermione decide to find the stone before Snape does. They face a series of tasks that are helping guard the stone which include surviving a deadly plant known as Devil's Snare, flying past a swarm of bird-shaped flying keys and winning a dangerous, life-sized game of [[chess]]. |
|||
After getting past the tasks Harry discovers that it was really [[Defence Against the Dark Arts]] teacher [[Professor Quirrell]] who was trying to steal the stone, and that Snape was protecting Harry all along. Quirrell removes his turban and reveals Voldemort to be living on the back of his head. Voldemort attempts to convince Harry to give him the stone (which Harry suddenly finds in his pocket as the result of an enchantment by the headmaster, [[Albus Dumbledore]]), by promising to bring his parents back from the dead, but Harry refuses. Quirrell attempts to kill him and take the stone, but Harry's touch turns Quirrell into dust. When Harry gets up, Voldemort's spirit rises from Quirrell's ashes and passes through Harry, knocking him unconscious before fleeing. |
|||
Harry wakes up in the school's hospital wing with Professor Dumbledore at his side. Dumbledore explains that the stone has been destroyed and that, despite Ron nearly being killed in the chess match, he and Hermione are both fine. The headmaster reveals that Harry was able to defeat Quirrell because when Harry's mother died to save him her death gave Harry a magical, love-based protection against Voldemort. Harry, Ron, and Hermione are rewarded with house points for their heroic performances, and Neville Longbottom is rewarded for bravely standing up to them, winning Gryffindor the House Cup. Before Harry and the rest of the students leave for the summer, Harry realises that while all other students are going home, Hogwarts is truly his home. |

Warner Bros. had initially planned to release the film over the 4 July 2001 weekend, making for such a short production window that several proposed directors pulled themselves out of the running.

<!-- This information is sourced, please DO NOT add any other changes to this without having a reliable source to back it up. Thank you. -->Columbus repeatedly checked with Rowling to make sure he was getting minor details correct.<ref name="davis" /> Kloves described the film as being "really faithful" to the book. He added dialogue, of which Rowling approved. One of the lines originally included had to be removed after Rowling told him that it would directly contradict an event in the then-unreleased ''[[Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix]]'' novel.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://uk.movies.ign.com/articles/034/034146p1.html |title=Screenwriter Kloves Talks ''Harry Potter'' |accessdate=10 July 2007 |date=6 February 2001 |first=Brian |last=Linder |publisher=IGN}}</ref> |

Several minor characters have been removed from the film version, most prominent among them the spectral History of Magic teacher, [[Professor Binns]], and [[Peeves]] the poltergeist. The book's first chapter is from the viewpoint of Vernon and Petunia Dursley the day before they are given Harry to look after, highlighting how non-magical people react to magic. The film removes this, beginning with Professor Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall and Hagrid leaving Harry with the Dursleys (although McGonagall tells Dumbledore how she had been watching the Dursleys all day). Harry's less than pleasant times at Mrs. Figg's are cut from the film while the [[boa constrictor]] from Brazil in the zoo becomes a [[Burmese Python]] in the film. Some conflicts, such as Harry and Draco's encounter with each other in Madam Malkin's robe shop and midnight duel, are not in the film. Some of [[Nicolas Flamel#In popular culture|Nicolas Flamel]]'s role is changed or cut altogether. [[Rubeus Hagrid#Norberta|Norbert]] is mentioned to have been taken away by Dumbledore in the film; whilst the book sees Harry and Hermione have to take him by hand to [[Charlie Weasley]]'s friends. Rowling described the scene as "the one part of the book that she felt [could easily] be changed".<ref name="time"/> As such, the reason for the detention in the Forbidden Forest was changed: In the novel, Harry and Hermione are put in detention for being caught by Filch when leaving the Astronomy Tower after hours, Neville and Malfoy are given detention when caught in the corridor by Professor McGonagall. In the film, Harry, Hermione and Ron receive detention after Malfoy catches them in Hagrid's hut after hours (Malfoy however, is given detention for being out of bed after hours). [[Firenze (Harry Potter)|Firenze]] the [[centaur]], who is described in the book as being [[palomino]] with light [[blonde]] hair, is shown to be dark in the film.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/movies/a64205/harry-potter-books-vs-films.html |title=Harry Potter: Books vs films |accessdate=10 July 2007 |date=9 July 2007 |publisher=[[Digital Spy]] |first=Kimberley |last=Dadds |author2=Miriam Zendle}}</ref> The [[Quidditch]] pitch is altered from a traditional stadium to an open field circled by spectator towers.<ref name="time"/> |

{{nihongo|'''''Perfect Blue'''''|パーフェクトブルー|Pāfekuto Burū}} is a 1997 Japanese [[Anime|animted]] [[psychological thriller]] film directed by [[Satoshi Kon]] as his directing debut and written by Sadayuki Murai. It is based on the novel {{nihongo|''Perfect Blue: Complete Metamorphosis''|パーフェクト・ブルー 完全変態|Pāfekuto Burū: Kanzen Hentai}} written by [[Yoshikazu Takeuchi]]. The film follows Mima Kirigoe, the member of a [[japanese idol|Japanese pop idol group]] who decides to retire from music to pursue an acting career. As she becomes a victim of stalking and goes deeper and deeper into her first role, she starts to lose her perception of what is real and what is fiction. |
|||
==Plot== |
|||
Mima Kirigoe, the lead singer of the fictional [[J-pop]] idol group "CHAM!", decides to leave the group to become an actress. Her first role is in a crime drama series, ''Double Bind''. Some of her fans are upset by her change in career, including a [[Stalking|stalker]] known as "Me-Mania". Shortly after leaving CHAM!, Mima receives an anonymous fax calling her a traitor. She finds a website called "Mima's Room", which features public diary entries that claim to be written by her that discuss her life in great detail. She brings the site to the attention of her manager, ex-pop star Rumi Hidaka, but is advised to ignore it. |
|||
On the set of ''Double Bind'', Mima succeeds in getting a larger part. However, the producers decide to cast her as a rape victim in a strip club. Rumi warns Mima that it will damage her reputation, but Mima accepts the part. The scene traumatizes Mima (as well as Rumi, who leaves the production control room crying), and she increasingly becomes unable to distinguish reality from her work in show business. |
|||
Several people involved in creating ''Double Bind'', including the show's writer and photographer, are found murdered. Mima finds evidence that makes her a suspect in those murders, and her increasing mental instability makes her doubt her own innocence. Meanwhile, Me-Mania is constantly shown standing amongst the ''Double Bind'' filming crew, and his further obsession is revealed when he is shown receiving emails from Mima's pop idol persona through the Mima's Room website. It is at this point that reality starts breaking down for the viewer as well: in one scene, Mima is revealed by a police psychiatrist to be the split personality delusion of a woman named Yoko Takakura, only for the ''Double Bind'' camera crew to yell "Cut"; in another, Me-Mania finally confronts and attempts to rape Mima, stopped only when Mima hits him in the head with a hammer, knocking him unconscious. Rumi finds Mima backstage immediately afterward, and upon both returning to the scene, Me-Mania's blood and body are not found on the now-empty set. This causes Mima to further doubt her perception of reality. |
|||
Rumi offers to drive Mima home. Upon arriving, Mima tries to call Mr. Tadokoro, but he doesn't pick up the phone as he has also been murdered, along with Me-Mania. Mima drops the call upon realizing that she is actually in a completely different apartment, decorated to resemble her own pop idol apartment at the beginning of the film. When Mima encounters Rumi, her manager is wearing a replica of Mima's CHAM! costume and, in a psychotic break, fully believes that she is the "real Mima"; Rumi is in fact the diarist behind Mima's Room and the one who committed the murders. Rumi is angry that Mima—who has been suffering from ''[[folie à deux]]'' throughout the film—has been ruining the "real Mima's" reputation and decides to save her pristine pop idol image by murdering the "fake" Mima. After a chase through the city, Mima, despite being wounded herself, manages to rip off Rumi's wig, causing Rumi to impale herself on a glass shard trying to grab it. Mima then saves Rumi from an oncoming truck, whose headlights she mistakes for stage lights. Both parties collapse as the truck's occupants call for an ambulance. |
|||
Mima, now an accomplished actress, shows up at a mental institution to visit Rumi, who still believes herself to be Mima. As Mima leaves, she overhears the nursing staff believing that she is a Mima look-alike, as Mima would have no reason to visit an institution. Mima enters her car and, looking into the rear view mirror, declares "I'm the real thing" and smiles. |

|||
==Production== |
|||
Originally the film was supposed to be a live action direct to video series, but after the [[Great Hanshin earthquake|Kobe earthquake]] of 1995 damaged the production studio, the budget for the film was reduced to an original video animation. [[Katsuhiro Otomo]] was credited as "Special Supervisor" to help the film sell abroad and as a result the film was screened in many film festivals around the world. While touring the world it received a fair amount of acclaim, jump-starting Kon's career as a filmmaker.<ref name=ca/> |
|||
Kon and Murai did not think that the original novel would make a good film and asked if they could change the contents. This change was approved so long as they kept a few of the original concepts from the novel. A live action film ''[[Perfect Blue: Yume Nara Samete]]'' was later made (released in 2002) that is much closer to the novel. This version was directed by [[Toshiki Satō]] from a screenplay by [[Shinji Imaoka]] and Masahiro Kobayashi.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.japanese-cinema-db.jp/details/807|title=夢なら醒めて…|accessdate=2009-10-18|publisher=Japanese Cinema Database}}</ref> |
|||
Like much of Kon's later work, such as ''[[Paprika (2006 film)|Paprika]]'', the film deals with the blurring of the lines between fantasy and reality in contemporary Japan.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/06/15/AR2007061500492.html|title=Satoshi Kon, Anime's Dream Weaver|publisher=Washington Post|date=2007-06-15}}</ref> |
|||
==Themes and analysis== |
|||
[[Susan J. Napier|Susan Napier]] uses [[feminist film theory]] to analyze the film, stating that, "''Perfect Blue'' announces its preoccupation with perception, identity and performance - especially in relation to the female - right from its opening sequence. The perception of reality cannot be trusted, with the visual set up only to not be reality, especially as the psychodrama heights towards the climax."<ref name=ca /> Napier also sees themes related to [[pop idol]]s and their performances as impacting the gaze and the issue of their roles. Mima's madness results from her own subjectivity and attacks on her identity. The ties to [[Alfred Hitchcock]]'s work is broken with the murder of her male controllers.<ref name=ca /> ''Otaku'' described the film as "critique of the consumer society of contemporary Japan."<ref name=ca />{{refn|group=Note|Reference to the quote is provided by Napier as: Jay, "Satoshi Kon", ''Otaku'' (May/June 2003):22}} |
|||

Critical response in the United States upon its theatrical release was mixed.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.animerica-mag.com/features/perfectblue.html |title=Perfect Blue |publisher=Animerica |date=2000-04-07 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20040613072404/http://www.animerica-mag.com/features/perfectblue.html |archivedate=June 13, 2004 }}</ref> The film holds a 68% approval rating on [[Rotten Tomatoes]], with the Consensus saying "Perfect Blue is overstylized, but its core mystery is always compelling, as are the visual theatrics."<ref>[http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/perfect_blue_1999/]</ref> Some critics associated it with common anime stereotypes of gratuitous sex and violence. Kon responded to this criticism by stating that he was proud to be an animator and ''Perfect Blue'' was more interesting as animation.<ref name="ca">{{cite book|title=Cinema Anime - "Excuse Me, Who Are You?": Performance, the Gaze, and the Female in the Works of Kon Satoshi by Susan Napier|publisher=Palgrave Macmillan|author=Brown, Steven|year=September 2008|pages=23–43|isbn=978-0-230-60621-0}}</ref> |

Tim Henderson from Anime News Network, described the movie as "a dark, sophisticated psychological thriller" with its effect of "over-obsession funneled through early Internet culture" and produces a "reminder of how much celebrity fandom has evolved in only a decade". <ref>Tim Henderson, [http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/perfect-blue/r4 ''Perfect Blue Review''], Aug 12, 2010.

The story's main character, Mima, a former pop star haunted by ghosts from her past, dreams of becoming an actress but resorts to porn gigs in her search for success. }}</ref> |

Welcome!
[edit]Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Editing tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Simplified Manual of Style
Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
- Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
- Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
- Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
- No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
- Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
- Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.
The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! - Mlpearc (open channel) 18:55, 25 February 2017 (UTC)

[edit]
Please do not add or change content, as you did at Ghost in the Shell (1995 film), without citing a reliable source using an inline citation that clearly supports the material. The burden is on the person wishing to keep in the material to meet these requirements, as a necessary (but not always sufficient) condition. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. - Mlpearc (open channel) 18:56, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Akira (1988 film). This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. - Mlpearc (open channel) 18:57, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Ghost in the Shell (1995 film). - Mlpearc (open channel) 18:59, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Princess Mononoke. - Mlpearc (open channel) 19:57, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
ANI notice
[edit]
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. - Mlpearc (open channel) 20:14, 25 February 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Semmendinger. An edit that you recently made to Princess Mononoke seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, please use the sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please use the preview button before submitting a page edit. You have 21 edits on this page a few days ago that were all reverted and another 10+ today that constantly break the template.
Use PREVIEW to make sure you aren't breaking the page! Semmendinger (talk) 22:52, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Princess Mononoke. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Semmendinger (talk) 22:54, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
