动漫NaNa英文影评

The manga covers from where Nana (Hachi) got on the train to go to Tokyo and it ends just after the concert, when Trapnest came over to Nanas’ (plural possessive of Nana) apartment.

I have a very short attention span but for NANA I was on the edge of my seat.

With the NANA manga featuring detailed themes of music and bands, a question is how well real life was able to bring to life the exultation(狂喜) of the songs. I wasn't that wowed by the first BLAST track, but the ending was definitely nice to listen too. In particular Trapnest sounded awesome(极好的).

I could write on and on singing my praises for this manga, so what you are waiting for, watch it!!!!!!

The soundtracks(原声) went along with the scenes very well. And characters did all the emotional scenes pretty touching. I could laugh and cry along with Nana and Hachi.

Those who have watched \"Kamikaze Girls\"(下妻物语) and expected \"Nana\" to be much of the same are in for a big surprise. In \"Nana\前卫的) characters nor black humor, but instead a very mainstream(主流的) story, told in a traditional way. Two girls have a chance encounter (偶遇) on a train, and later more chance encounters, are both called Nana (one is actually the pronunciation of a Japanese name). At the first encounter, one is dressed completely in black, the other completely in white. Nana-W, \"cute and fluffy\way to be with her boyfriend in Tokyo, is also the voice over narrator. Nana-B, a rock vocalist as cool as you can get, has her story told in simple flashbacks. Nana-B comes with a broken heart; Nana-W is going to get one.

Without getting too much into the plot, it suffices to say (简单的说)that Nana-O (in flashbacks) initially did not follow her guitar-player boyfriend Ren to Tokyo because she wanted to prove herself rather than live in his shadows. Three years later, now ready, she heads for Tokyo herself, encounters Nana-K on the train and winds up sharing an apartment with her. Nana-K on the other hand ends up

losing her boyfriend but helps Nana-O to regain hers. In \"Nana\" we also see a very popular reverse in roles as in \"Kamikaze girls\". Nana-K starts out as sweet but woolly-headed(头脑不清的), helpless cute damsel(少女) but ends up not only being able to get over her heartbreak, but also instrumental to Nana-O's mending(修补) a broken relationship. Nana-O, so cool and tough, actually has a weak spot in her heart. But the friendship and comradeship(友谊) between the two girls that gives this animation an uplifting, really touching.

But that's not all. \"Nana\" has a more subtle sub-text, surrounding the rock musicians' strive for success. Ren's heading for Tokyo is no different from someone leaving everything behind in the home town to seek fame and fortune in Shanghai or Beijing. When we see him a few years later, he seems to have got to where he wanted to be, but has he really? He is with a top band, but is obviously not as popular as the other guitarist. He later intimates that he got there by sheer hard work, not talent. That is all very educational but isn't talent what it's all about with music? Seeing Ren's \"success\" would almost be a disillusion(泼冷水) to Nana-O, who firmly believes that SHE has talents.

Maybe there is no answer and perhaps asking the question is already taking the animation beyond what it intends to be.

It contains an extremely strong story of friendship, of love and the falling out of, adapted from the same name manga by Ai Yazawa.

Lead singer Nana and lead guitarist Honjo Ren were longtime lovers since their garage band days in Hokkaido, up until Ren's fateful decision to leave Hokkaido for bigger opportunities in Tokyo, a move which literally broke Nana's heart.

Two years later, wanting to follow her dreams of becoming a rock star, Nana decides to go to Tokyo as well to make a name for herself. By a chance coincidence she meets up with another young country girl who is also heading to Tokyo.

The hopelessly cute Komatsu Nana, with her long boots, girlish pastel(蜡笔的)colored wardrobe(衣柜） and giddy(轻浮) personality is the complete opposite of the brooding,

dark Nana O., yet by uncanny (神秘的)coincidence they share the same first name and age. Nana K. is heading to Tokyo to be with her boyfriend Endo Shoji (HiraokaYuta) who is going to art trade school there.

Nana K. and Nana O. part ways when they get to Tokyo but soon find themselves reunited again while out searching for an apartment. The two agree to share a modest, flat which by kismet(命运)/serendipity(巧合) is on the seventh floor (nana kai) and is numbered \"707\" (Nana Hyaku Nana).

Yet luck is not with Nana K. as she loses her part-time job with a small vintage (老式的) furniture shop as well as her boyfriend to another girl, the squeaky voiced, Lolita-like Sachiko. Nana O. comforts Nana K. and they begin to form a special bond and friendship. Nana O. even gives Nana K. the complementary pet name \"Hachi\" (eight).

Nana O. also hits some rough spots. She reforms her old garage band from Hokkaido and begins playing at various small gigs(演唱会). Yet Nana O. still can't forget her former

lover Ren, who she discovers has since become a popular guitarist for the pop/rock band \"Trapnest\" fronted by Japanese- American vocalist Leila/Reira Serizawa (Hawaii local and J-Pop idol Ito Yuna), and it's up to Nana K. to help Nana O. by helping her get back together again with Ren.

While Otani's \"Nana\" is no \"Purple Rain\lot in common with Prince's movie and other rise-to-stardom films such as the brilliant film \"Once\". Nana O's struggle to find fame seems to play a backseat to the romantic elements of the story. At its heart, \"Nana\" is a fairy tale for the MTV reared generation - a story about beautiful people, falling in love and finding happiness and fame. While the music adds to the animation's mood and tone, “Nana\" isn't an animation about the art of making music or the creative process.

I loved \"Nana\" and it is easy to see why both the manga and film adaptation has found such a loyal fan following not only in Japan but around the world. Its universal appeal is a clear testament(契约)about the power of love, music and friendship, which needs no translation.

A lot of what has been written about this film focuses on how faithfully the manga was adapted. On balance, it seems the manga fans are satisfied. If you are a fan of Nakashima's music, you will also, in all likelihood, get something out of Nana. And the under-14 crowd might enjoy it. For the rest of the world, this film is puerile(幼稚的).

Two namesakes of paradoxical(矛盾的) personalities live under the same lucky-lucky roof in harmony, both traditional and modern qualities exist, fuse(融合) inside one body (Room 707) without causing any conflict. On the contrary, they are helping and inspiring each other. They happily found each other. That is the ideal of the original author Ai Yazawa: the attitude, the attribute, the bearing, the idiosyncrasy of 21st century Japanese feminism女权主义 (woman figure).

In fact, even the under-14s should keep away from this. The two protagonists(主角), Nana and Hachi, represent the

extremes that young Japanese women are meant to live up to - fluffy,(肤浅的) cutesy(矫揉造作的)air-headedness, in the case of Hachi, or chain-smoking(连续不断地抽香烟), unprotected sex'ing, don't-give-a-f%#k posturing in the case of Nana. It is a glib(肤浅的) rendition(显现) of Japanese womanhood presented through the filter(透过) of corrupting(堕落的) middle-age adults. This animation was a huge hit here in Japan, and a lot of the younger element of that audience will think these women are something to aspire to. That thought depresses me.

If there is a sub-text to this animation, it is that no woman can succeed or be truly happy without a man coming to her aid.

Or maybe it will just be more vacuous(空虚的) fare(食物) that the blissfully(幸福的) ignorant teenage masses will flock to.
