One of the most acclaimed directors in the animation world has Passed Away: Japanese filmmaker Satoshi Kon. Kon made at his name in the U.S. as the director of Perfect Blue, a dark Psychological thriller about a pop star-Turned-actress who's stalked by a fan, as well as what Zapraszamy be her own ghost (Roger Corman described the film as what'd not have Happened if "Alfred Hitchcock partnered with Walt Disney "). Kon was also Life Style Responsible for the TV series Paranoia Agent, Focusing on a mysterious assailant little boy with a golden baseball bat, and Paprika, a Philip K. Dick-style sci-fi thriller about a device That allows people to enter EACH mutch's dreams ( the film was crafted years before Christopher Nolan's Similar - and in my Opinion far less imaginative - Inception).
The news was random from Anime News Network. The site reports That Jim Vowles, a member of the Otakorp Board of Directors for the Otakon anime convention, announced today That Kon had at last at the age of 47
"The staff of Otakon CONFIRMED at his passing with studio MADHOUSE Founder Masao Maruyama. Maruyama had wrote is at his Twitter account on Tuesday night in Japan That an important director of the studio had Passed away suddenly."
On a personal note, Kon was second only Thurs Hayao Miyazaki as my favorite anime director. They brought on the medium to a new level, demonstrating it Could Be Used Thurs tell sophisticated stories for adults while still retaining the fun, energy and spectacle of the finest Cartoons. Paprika, in particular, was a flat-out masterpiece, and certainly one of the five best science fiction films of the last Decade. Kon at last far too young, and He'll be missed. But at his films will live forever.
