Previously, I shared one of the movies that adapted from a
Japanese comic,
DMC "Detroit metal city".
DMC "Detroit metal city".
This time, I will share
another adaptation “Nana”.
Director: Kentarô Ohtani
Duration: 113 minutes
Casts: Mika Nakashima, Aoi Miyazaki and Hiroki Narimiya
Nana is not only the title of the movie, but also
the main character's name. There have two Nanas in the movie, but this is
different from the last time. These two Nanas are played by two different
actors.
One is Osaki Nana, the punk rock singer and also the band black stones’
vocalist.
Another is Komatsu Nana whose nickname is Hachi in the movie.
This film revolves around music, but is different from the one previously. One
example is the style of music. For Nana, the music they play is punk rock
style; not only the music is punk rock style but also the way they dress up. In
addition, the story line is also very different from DMC. DMC is some sort of a
comedy. For Nana, it has a story line which is just like any other band music
film. Why do I make this assertion? It is because conflicts happen between band
mates or the other band. This is the classic style of most band music film.
Still, I love to watch Nana. I like the way director direct this film; it is
very realistic, and it seems like a true story.
Moreover, the theme is also very different between these two films. For DMC,
the theme is more on dream; the main character wants to achieve his goal, and
moves to Tokyo to start his music dream. For Nana, the theme is more on love,
Osaki Nana has got hurt by her boyfriend, so she has decides move to Tokyo to
look for her boyfriend. It does have common points with DMC, in which the
characters in both of these movies also fight for their music dream, but Nana’s
theme is more on love.
