Movie Reviews of NanaMovie Review: introducing Nana and.....Nana Summary: 5 Stars
First let me just say, Mika Nakashima, who plays rocker Nana is HOT!
I've been a fan of movies from Japan since I saw Ghost in the Shell a few years ago. I've seen and enjoyed Azumi the female Ninja, Last Quarter, a ghost story, and the Pulp Fiction inspired Shark Skin Man. So I was about 10 minutes into Nana when I realized that I was watching a "chick flick" or Shojo as its called in japanese.
As you may know Nana is about two girls who have nothing in common, except they both have the same first name. And they have one other very important thing in common. They both find out how difficult love can be.
The two Nanas are both played by great actresses. Aoi Miyazaki is the spoiled Nana who has nice clothes and shoes and hair and seems to get jobs because of her looks. And rocker Nana is Mika Nakashima, a singer in real life, who as I mentioned before, is HOT!
Rather than outline the story, which has already been done in other reviews, I'll just say I liked Nana enough that I am now waiting for Nana 2 to be released in the US.
I always hate it when the original actors don't return for the sequel and Nana is no exception.
The guy who plays rocker Nana's ex-boyfriend, Ren won't be in the sequel, which is fine since he can't act. Nor is Aoi, the Nana with the huge smile. Normally missing 2 original actors would really turn me off, but actress Mika, rocker Nana, is going to return. She does such an excellent job of portraying her character that I could not imagine anyone else in the part.
Although the ending of Nana has a satisfactory wrap up there are also some unanswered questions which leave room for the sequel.
The end to rock Nana's story was not what I wanted for her, but I am glad to say that rocker Nana herself questions her own actions as well.Nana
