Ive always been intrigued at anime and other forms of japanese art, and was especially interested when i watched “Akira” thhat foccused on humans relationship with technology and power. The black and white film Tetsuo: The iron man is heavily linked to the main antagonist of Akira “Tetsuo”.
Iron mans soundtrack is an industrial cyberpunk take on the future using metallic klangs and video game synth sounds to audibly document the main characters decent into a deformed machine. I found it interesting seeing in 1989 japan, and how the recent event that preceded these film, WW2 and Hiroshima, has left a taste in the peoples mouth that thing bring into their art . And gradual decent into a mutant robot that cant control its power is a reflection of japan during its fascistic times and how too much power can corrupt anything.
