About this item
Product Description
The future of robots and humans . . . as predicted by Osamu Tezuka.
Based on the classic comic by legendary illustrator Osamu Tezuka, Metropolis has been brought to the screen by two of the most respected figures in Japanese animation today (Katsuhiro Otomo and Rintaro).
Metropolis is a futuristic story of the ageless class struggle, not amongst humans, but between humans and the humanoid, set in a futuristic city at the height of its civilization. Spectacularly rendered in its visual style, it combines the best in Japanese animation with the latest in digital technology.
The original soundtrack is composed by Toshiyuki Honda and the music blends the New Orleans & Dixie style jazz with classical music.

A dazzling and atypical musical score is the perfect tone for the gorgeous visuals of this anime film. Toshiyuki Honda's Dixieland jazz-influenced music is a daring counter to the futuristic vision of the three-tiered, near-robotic society. The title track is reminiscent of Woody Allen's theme for his futuristic film Sleeper. Half of Honda's score uses more characteristic orchestrations for several of the films' action scenes and the love theme ("Sympathy," which is later reorchestrated in the so-so end-credit song "There'll Never Be Good-Bye"). This is one of the indispensable anime soundtracks, and wonderful listening for even the non-anime fan. One demerit for the CD not containing Ray Charles's "I Can't Stop Loving You." The song beautifully counterpoints the explosive conclusion and is a vital part of the whole music score. --Doug Thomas
