Tokyo Olympiad is a 1965 documentary film directed by Kon Ichikawa with a soundtrack composed by Toshiro Mayuzumi.It is a documentary of the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan. The games were widely seen as Japan's coming-out party on the world stage, 19 years after the end of World War II. Kon Ichikawa, an accomplished director of fiction movies, was hired to make a documentary, after Akira Kurosawa had been hired and then fired. Japanese authorities apparently regretted the decision to hire a more "artistic" director like Ichikawa than a documentarian, as Ichikawa's film is less concerned with the wins and losses than with the beauty of the scenery and the lives of athletes. It was eventually cut in half and re-released in Japan.Compare Leni Riefenstahl's Olympia, pretty much the only other Olympics documentary to be held in as high regard as this film. | |

| Tokyo Olympiad / int_a6049c20 | comment |
Disturbed Doves: The opening ceremony features a flock of pigeons let loose Olympic-style. This is amusingly followed by shots of athletes cringing and ducking as pigeons zoom over their heads. | |

Deliberately Monochrome | |
| Tokyo Olympiad / int_d028ca10 | comment |
Deliberately Monochrome: Most of the film is shot in lush Technicolor, but there are a couple of exceptions. The hammer throw is in black-and-white. This might be to match the weather, as the hammer throw took place in a driving rainstorm. The boxing competition is also in black-and-white. The modern pentathlon is shown not only in black-and-white, but as a series of still photographs. | |

Ironic Juxtaposition: There's certainly humor in the cut between a glorious sun and a wrecking ball smashing buildings. | |
