Closer to home, back to this live-action version of "NANA".
Although my rating is "OK", I still love it, especially compared to the anime version of NANA.
Like other animated adaptations, due to the length of the movie, the live-action version of "NANA" has also made substantial changes to the original plot, so that although the live-action version of "NANA" retains the main plot of the original, it has actually happened. big change.
Let's talk about structure first. In the animated version of "NANA", the structure is almost completely symmetrical - Osaki Nana and Komatsu Nana, whether it is appearance, character, attitude towards things, even the name is small, you can feel the author's good intentions. The development of the story is naturally two symmetrical clues, which are not obvious at first, but the more they develop, the more clearly they can be distinguished from each other. But in the live-action version of "NANA", this symmetrical structure has actually been broken, and the whole story has been simplified. A main line from beginning to end tells a story belonging to Nana from Nana's perspective.
Secondly, let's talk about the content, which is the main reason for my judgment that "the live-action version of "NANA" is better than the animated version. Everyone will definitely refute me, saying that the live-action version of "NANA" is basically a copy of the animation version, so how can it become the main judgment of good and bad - from this, it is judged that I am talking nonsense. In fact, I think the success of the live-action version of "NANA" lies in the clever deletion of the original content. In the animated version of "NANA", there are many branch lines. Even the main line, as mentioned above, can be clearly divided into the Nana line and the Nana line. The two clues occasionally intersect, but in most cases they develop independently. The live-action version of "NANA" not only drastically removes the subplots, but also focuses on retaining the intersection of the Nana line and the Nana line-two strange girls met by chance and then lived together. They are so different But they became best friends. When Nana's career started, it was Nana's support. When Nana's relationship was frustrated, it was Nana's support. Nana helped Nana find her true love, and Nana helped Nana realize her unreachable idol. Dreams - The relationship between the two people is tightly tied, and the phenomenon of separate development is everywhere in the animation version. Therefore, in comparison, the live-action version of "NANA" has a more prominent theme and a more concise structure. Although the content is a bit poor, it is enough to explain the plot clearly and can exist as a movie independently.
Finally, let's talk about the characters. The character of Nana is very similar in the two versions. I like it very much. I won't say more about it. I'll put more ink on Nana. There are a lot of faults in Nana, but in the live-action version, proper deletion and modification made Nana show more of the good side. I don't really like the character of Nana very much, but Nana in the live-action version of "NANA" has been rejected. Beautified enough not to disgust me.
Having said so many benefits of the live-action version of "NANA", why do I hesitate to recommend it as "OK"? Maybe it's because of my own likes and dislikes. I prefer to recommend movies with novel plots, especially with deep meaning. The live-action version of "NANA" is a simple and fresh story, neither novel nor profound, so it has not yet reached my "recommended" standard. But even so, I still appreciate it and think it's a very good movie.
