Movies: Finding Neverland and Nana (Comments Off)

Thank you, Arvy, for buying the dvd for me. When I get $$$, I’ll buy the original when it comes out (by next month).

I wasn’t prepared for the drama.

I watched this movie twice. The first time with my Tita Sandra. The second, but only on a few scenes, with Boyet, Jozen, Ed, and Nina. The movie is really good. It never occured to me that there is a big story behind writing Peter Pan. Most of us would think it’s just an adventure children’s story, but Peter Pan is J. M. Barrie’s summer with 4 boys and their mother. He had greatly affected their family. It was kind of tragic, but touching. If you watch the movie and analyze it with Peter Pan, you will understand that Mr. Barrie’s writing should to be understood between the lines.

Johnny Depp’s amazing as ever.

I believed he was only very good in doing roles such as Jack Sparrow (or maybe Willy Wonka). But he’s amazing here. I totally liked the dancing bear (♥ his mustache *lol*), how he took care of the boys and played with them. He’s really good at playing multiple roles. Kate Winslet also did a good job. You can feel the motherly love from her. Hehe~ The only surprise for me was the last movie I saw of hers was the “lesbian” movie. I forgot the title. She was still young there, so seeing her play the role of a mother made me think time really goes by fast. ^^vvv

I recommend this movie a lot. it’s nice to watch this with your family, a friend, or a relative. Watching it with your boyfriend or girlfriend is cool, but don’t make it as your Valentine’s movie or something. It’s NOT mushy.

*doesn’t make sense at all*

Someone directed a link to the cast of Nana. Tomoki Maruyama and Tetsuji Tamayama look nice. ^_______________^ Tomoki Maruyama looks perfect as Yasu. I hope his acting won’t be disappointing. Will Tetsuji Tamayama be wearing a wig? Or is that an old picture of his in the site and already sports a long hair now? One of the guys is also in Last Quarter (co-starring with Hyde). Hiroki Narimiya was it? I can’t wait for the movie to come out. Based on the characters, I think they’ll be focusing on around volumes 1-4 of the manga. (About Sachiko!? ARGH!)

Today’s V-day.
