Isn't Black Swan just Perfect Blue for people who never watch anime?

Edit: For the people that don't know

Excuse me, who are you?

Side note: Black Swan's director was accused of plagiarizing Perfect Blue, which is honestly really obvious, and he denied it left and right. But Satoshi Kon said he and the director for Black Swan met in 2001. So take from that what you will.

Isn't this the same thing as the hunger games copying Battle Royale and then denying it and acting like they came up with the idea themselves? It seems like a lot of western movies just steal shit from animes because the audience here for animes is much smaller than the general public who will go watch a Hollywood movie.

Well, supposedly they got both inspired by The Lottery, which is a book that predates Battle Royale as well.

Hmm that sounds more like how the Aztecs or Mayans killed kids for their harvest gods. (If I'm recalling which did which correctly)
