Akira Kurosawa--Music for Film: Record of A Living Being

Next up is the main theme from Kurosawa's 1955 film entitled "Record of a Living Being" (a.k.a. "I Live in Fear"), which concerns itself with an old man that is parinoid of nuclear war and wants to move his family to South America; his family, however, thinks him incompitent.

Do you have any music from Drunken Angel? That is possibly the most emotional and sympathetic score Hayasaka composed.

[GojiGuru]

Yes I have the main theme from Drunken Angel. I might post it in the near future.

While Monsieur Kurosawa should have been banned from making modern age movies as his Samurai tales are usually above his new age stuff; due this is no fault of him but of the modern times as life has becoming boring, tiny and secure; but the tale itself is a true tragedy of a man who destroys with his obsession/madness his family in the attempt to rescue it from danger; and while the story is told the bystanders and observes do question themselves about his fears, thus representing all Japan.

[FireEyedMaidOfWar]

Japan haunted by the bomb – and it was high time that Monsieur Kubrick told the world how he learned to stop worrying and love the bombe, which is due to Doctor Strangelove – and of course by the Scotland syndrome – the mental suffering due to being defeated by an unworthy foe; and since the Japanese once did repulse twice the Mongols the American conquest of their islands will trouble them a lot and so their harping about the bombe may be some sort of evasion from the more horrid truth.
