kitsch collage

I am a little bit demanding about movies. . .

The manga-adapted film NANA suffers from the same faults as most failures; it takes its form and fails to convey the thematic atmosphere of the original.

The author has not read the original comic book, but learned from sources who have read the comic book three times or more that most of the plots from the first to fifth editions of the single book have been transferred to the screen intact. , But the theme of the comic—a life played by an unpredictable fate and the persistent struggle to control fate by one's own ability cannot be brought out by a movie that takes more than 100 minutes, let alone a breath for young people on the journey of life. .

Originally, the author saw from the film's packaging and the proportion of the plot that the director wanted to tie the main line of the film to an emotional entanglement between Lian and Nana with a unique depth of exploration. This emotional entanglement refers to the fact that Nana, who is independent and independent, separated from her beloved popular knot, Hand Lotus for the sake of her spirit and her ideal choice. And Nana, who is accustomed to being decisive and even acting more free and easy than boys, can't stand this tangled relationship; what will happen to the two of them in the end is really the development of the plot that the author is fully looking forward to, but the movie is still in conflict with the above It stopped abruptly in the face of the situation, and returned to the final scene of a summary reserved for the comics. This does not exactly show that the writers and directors have the guts to think but have no guts to shoot, and dare not further cooperate with their personal ideas on the basis of the original work. A whole new experience for comics fans?

The imbalance of trade-offs makes it difficult for the film to express the original theme, and it is too timid to take a step forward to prevent the film from being given new meanings. As a result, "NANA" is just a kitsch collage, and even the collage is too messy to make people feel Focus.

Furthermore, this film cannot even do the beautiful composition, photography and atmosphere rendering that Japanese directors have always been good at, making the story of a young man searching for an ideal and shedding his blood unable to convey its appeal; together with a group of young actors (except Mika Nakajima) The immature and inflexible performance made this film the most irritating movie I've ever watched recently, and it was even nearly ranked as a cut-stool-level movie.

I am a rock music fan. . .

Especially for me, who started listening to J-ROCK, the music of the movie can be considered very appetizing; and the theme song GLAMOROUS SKY composed by HYDE and sung by Mika Nakajima has even become the background music of the author's blog, and it is replayed dozens of times every day.

Even if the song is on the right track, from a rock fan's perspective, "NANA" is a mixed bag at best.

The problem is due to several LIVE SHOW scenes in the movie, and in the eyes of the author, I really have to get angry. First of all, the editing of LIVE SHOW has no rhythm at all, and it does not match the background music in the singing, which cannot give a deeper visual appeal to the original impassioned rock. Furthermore, except for Nakajima Mika, who was born as a singer, who can interpret the body movements of the lead vocals live, the two guitarists and drummers behind them can see at a glance, but they had two lessons before the shooting, and the movements they handed over stayed at The degree of Dong Shi's embarrassment almost instantly shattered the atmosphere that the author just put into rock and roll. In particular, there are the bass guitarist Shinichi who strums the strings with the fingering of the lead guitar, and the airless and weak drummer who is most easily worn and can not match the background music and drums; It's a very important lack, especially in a movie that is packed with rock culture under the banner of righteousness. This is again reminiscent of the kitsch of the movie "NANA", how kitsch is superficial, and everything that goes a little deeper should not be found in it.

I just became a fan of Mika Nakajima. . .

What would it be like if the eyes that would never yield and the beaded lips I could see were compatible with the same face?

This is the only reason the author can convince others to enter the scene after watching the movie.

Originally, I didn't know anything about Mika Nakajima, but after the movie, I decided to be a Mika madman.

As the saying goes, an actor only needs one role in his life, and Mika Nakajima found it in her second film.

Mika Nakajima was born with a face that makes men eager to conquer and protect. This inconsistency and uncertainty instantly overwhelmed all the defense lines of men, and at the same time, with such a face alone, she can play the contradictory Nana Osaki, no wonder It seems that the director has to spend so much time close-up of Mika Nakajima, who only has a pair of beautiful eyes staring.
