"Millennium Actress" is the perfect combination of narrative and technique in Kon Satoshi's several works. The shots in "Millennium Actress" are well integrated with the multi-time and space "reality-illusory" narrative technique. With this form, time and space can be easily traveled through time and space without any explanation, thus accelerating and enriching the narrative rhythm. The prototype of Chiyoko in the play is the Japanese actress Setsuko Hara, who has a dreamlike image of "eternal virgin" and "a typical chaste Japanese woman". With real characters as prototypes, and the integration of Japanese film history and Japan’s nearly a thousand years of history, "Millennium Actress" has a certain thick temperament. Kon Satoshi lifted his weight lightly, shooting the animation so pure and gorgeous, it was a bit like MTV. The meta-cinematic nature of "Millennium Actress" is twofold: the first layer is the scene where Chiyoko participated in the shooting, and through more than a dozen movies in the work, showing the taste of "play in play"; the second layer is Tachibana Genya As people who listen to the story in reality, the two not only become bystanders in the play, but also play roles in the play. This metaphor for the audience further enhances the complexity of meta-movies.

All types of movies, including period dramas, war espionage dramas, post-war era dramas and science fiction dramas.
