| User ReviewPascal VKind of kitsh let's face it, this adaptation from a manga and Japanese production directed by Jacques Demy still remains pretty interresting on a cinematography point of view... |
| User ReviewMisty Dsembra una soap opera :D non c'è paragone con il cartone animato... |
| User ReviewOscar MCompare to the original manga, this live action is totally terrible = = Oscar is described as a heroic who lead French citizens to defeat Bastile prison in 14th July 1789. But in the movie, they cut it!!!!!!!!! It destroyed all history meaning of this story and the plots in manga were divided into some seperated pieces which were very boring to watch. Moreover, the main character, Oscar, was out of character from manga. I dont see anything of Oscar in the actress and the way movie described her =="" Truly disappointed about this adaption and I recommend you to watch anime version in 1979, it is much more better than this one. Dont waste time on it and be upset about what you watched! |
