But while his predecessors were national heroes, he is a pariah among the citizens he protects, who bitterly complain about the noise and destruction of property he causes. And Daisato has his own problems –an agent insistent on branding him with sponsor advertisements, an Alzheimer- afflicted grandfather who transforms into a giant in dirty underwear, and a family who is embarrassed by his often cowardly exploits."--Magnolia Pictures website, http:// www.magnoliapictures.com 541 0 |3PFA 3500-01-16798. |aD0312 |cdonation |d 2015/08/07 |5CBPF 590 PFA 3500-01-16798. |aEdge code: Kodak 2007.|aCONDITION NOTE: Inspected 2015/09/17 cv; very good; reel 7 has cyan track and overlay titles (other reels have laser titles); all leaders cut; all digital tracks look ok; applicate underlaying optical track is not centered exactly--may cause noise in left channel sound, R1-6. 650 0 Superheroes|zJapan|vDrama. 650 0 Giants|zJapan|vDrama. 650 0 Monsters|zJapan|vDrama. 650 0 Good and evil|vDrama. 655 7 Documentary-style films.|2lcgft 655 7 Superhero films.|2lcgft 655 7 Fantasy films.|2lcgft 655 7 Comedy films.|2lcgft 655 7 Feature films.|2lcgft 700 1 Matsumoto, Hitoshi,|d1963-|efilm director|escreenwriter, |eactor. 700 1 Takasu, Mitsuyoshi,|escreenwriter. 700 1 Okamoto, Akihiko,|efilm producer. 700 1 Ueno, Soichi,|edirector of photography. 700 1 Tei, Towa,|ecomposer (expression). 700 1 Aikô, Etsuko,|eproduction designer. 700 1 Hayashida, Yûji,|eproduction designer. 700 1 Takeuchi, Riki,|eactor. 700 0 Ua,|eactor 700 1 Kamiki, Ryūnosuke,|d1993-|eactor. 700 1 Itao, Itsuji,|d1963-|eactor. 700 1 Yamamoto, Hideo,|eactor. 710 2 Magnet (Firm),|efilm distributor. 710 2 Shōchiku Kabushiki Kaisha,|eproduction company. 710 2 |6880-02|aYoshimoto Kōgyō. 730 0 |6880-03|aDai Nipponjin (Motion picture) 880 00 |6245-01|a大日本人 /|cMagnet ; Shochiku ; 企画松本人志 ; 脚本, 松本人志, 高須光聖 ; プロデューサー岡本昭彥 ; 制作, 吉本興業 ; 監督, 松本人志. 880 2 |6710-02|a吉本興業. 880 0 |6730-03|a大日本人 (Motion picture) 956 20170104 |bpfmcq|cCCE 957 OCLC xref loaded 20170115 994 C0|bCUY
