barbosa2007.livejournal.comHere's an intriguing article written by entertainment journalist Otaka Hiroo, who has a regular column on Nihon Eiga. It's rather apt that I post this today, since I had only just watched Platinum Data yesterday. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the article and the movie too!
Platinum Data – a myriad of possibilities
Platinum Data, starring Ninomiya Kazunari, was off to a thought-provoking start. The movie premiered in 310 movie theaters nationwide on 16 March. Within 2 days, it garnered an audience of 305,743 people, with record box office earnings of 400,496,000 yen. It was truly a hit. However, to me, I wouldn’t have thought it strange if the box office earnings had been higher, given the ticket pre-sales. I had greater expectations.
( Perhaps it was Nino's inherent magic at work. )
Any thoughts on how the movie should have fared, compared to its actual performance? I thought Nino acted his tiny butt off but the script did not deliver its promise. If you wanna write about the movie, please warn others by leaving a SPOILER WARNING in your comment.
ETA: Oh, oh! I realize it's Nino month, so if you don't mind your F-list being spammed with little posts here and there, I'll be translating bits of stuff I find interesting. I look forward to being more productive.
