Paradise Kiss

Was able to remember that Paradise Kiss DVD was out on 26/10/11 and forgot to go look for the subs until yesterday XD
I was going to post about it yesterday but just as I clicked on blogger, I found out that the internet was turned off so I stormed downstairs to ask who turned it off to find a massive TV in the way of the doorway _A_
So I guess....my family finally decided to buy a new TV (after the old one decided to die on us about 2 weeks ago)
So then they were all fiddling around with the TV and the router was unplugged so I couldn't go on the internet...(>_<)
And then just when they've plugged everything back in, I had to go to work....-_-

But anways...!
Before all that happened I was able to watch Paradise Kiss (whilst squealing a lot XD)
First things first.....
OSAMU MUKAI CAN NOT ACT!
I don't bloody care about what other people say, he is like a brick, he has no emotions and is way too stiff (>_<)
I think he can even go against Robert Pattison for who's the stiffest actor XD
Seriously, I've seen him in 3 dramas and in all three dramas his acting has been absolutely terrible!
I don't see why people like him so much! Yes the guy has a baby face and whatever but that doesn't mean he gets away with atrocious acting...!!!!
*calms self down*
I first saw him act in Nodame Cantabile, sure he had a relatively small role, but even thne he couldn't play an emotionless role, cheesus christ.....
And then I think next I saw him in Mei-chan no Shitsuji where he had a bigger role where he was in most of the episodes and seriously he was like a brick! Even a statue could do better than him for pete's sake!
And lastly, to my disappointment, he was also is Honey and Clover, sure that drama was way before Nodame Cantabil and Mei-chan no Shitsuji, but it shows how his acting has not even improved the slightest!

And then I had to go through the torture of watching him kill one of my favourite characters in Parakiss....(>_<)
And it wasn't pretty....he made George seem so boring and not at all hot as George should be...!! (>_<)
But other than stupid Osamu Mukai ruining George, Keiko Kitagawa I thought did a pretty decent job as Caroline/Yukai, although I only seen her in LADY~Saigo no Hanzai Profile, but I think she showed Yukari's personality pretty well.
And then there's Aya Oomasa as Miwako, which I thought was pretty weird at first when she tried to act cute and all,  (maybe because I recognise her from Mei-chan no Shitsuji and she's also in Kaitou Royale) but I soon got used to her acting and thought it suited her well.
Yamamoto Yusuke is just perfect as usual (or it's just because I'm just really biased XD) but everytime he came onto the screen I would squeal his name XD But his acting was really good (mochiron XD)
Shunji Igarashi as Isabella.....I thought was absolutely brillitant although if I am ever to rewatch Hana Kimi again (which I most probably would) I will never be able to see Noe in the same way again...XD
Last but not least Kento Kaku as Arashi, I've never seen him in any other drama so I didn't know what to expect from him, but I actually thought he suited the role very well and I really liked him. =)

Well that's all about the actors, onto the storyline, which I thought was pretty good, but I'm also pretty sure that there were some parts which weren't in the manga (especially the ending) unless I've forgotten the storyline XD
But even still they still stuck to some parts of the original storyline (like the bit when Miwako and Arashi were making out on the pool table which made me lol XD) and I thought the whole storyline was pretty sweet, although at some points were a bit too cheesy, but I guess most romance films will be cheesy in one way or another.
But all in all I liked the storyline and it did bring out the characters, even Yamamoto Yusuke's Tokumori which I didn't think would have such a big part in the film.

And of course there's the amazing soundtrack (XD) consisting of YUI's songs 'Hello~Paradise Kiss' (which was played twice) and 'YOU' (played at the end). And of course the other songs XP

Will try and find some screen shots of this film to make this post more attractive somehow...XD
