Detective Shunsaku Ban and his nephew-assistant Kenichi arrive in Duke Red\u2019s city of the future on the trail of an organ-trafficking doctor. But the city is coming apart, with Duke Red\u2019s adopted son Rock leading a predatory police force, and the enslaved robot population scapegoated as the cause of all ills. Meanwhile, Tima, an android facsimile of the Duke\u2019s dead daughter, goes on the run, unaware of her true nature.<\/p>\n

The 2001 feature Metropolis<\/em> was a who\u2019s-who of big names from the Japanese animation business, including a superstar writer, a director at the top of his game, and an original story from the renowned \u201cGod of Manga.\u201d It was also famously the last great clash of old and new animation techniques, using the traditional cel animation method in conjunction with conspicuous digital animation \u2013 thereafter, almost all Japanese animation would be entirely created within computers, whether it had a hand-drawn appearance or not. Such juxtapositions even carried across into the characters themselves, with a cast that faithfully mimicked the cartoonish look of Osamu Tezuka\u2019s original comic, dwarfed and often upstaged by gleaming, realist steampunk backgrounds and machinery.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

In Germany, the film is known as Robotic Angel<\/em>, seemingly because nobody was going to get away with giving it the same name as Fritz Lang\u2019s classic movie. Even in the new English-language release from Eureka Films, the movie is pointedly called Osamu Tezuka\u2019s Metropolis<\/em>. But this only opens a whole new can of worms.<\/p>\n

For starters, much of the film\u2019s plotting and look owes more to Fritz Lang\u2019s Metropolis<\/em> and its distaff descendant Ridley Scott\u2019s Blade Runner<\/em>, both touchstones for the film\u2019s famous scriptwriter, Akira<\/em>-creator Katsuhiro Otomo. Yet neither of those works were known to Osamu Tezuka when he wrote the original Metropolis<\/em> manga, which he began working on as a teenage boy in the 1930s. His inspiration was a magazine article about<\/em> the Fritz Lang movie, which he had not seen at the time. In fact, Tezuka was once heard to claim that his sole true inspiration was a sighting merely of the poster<\/em> for Lang\u2019s film, and his teenage speculations as to what it might have been like. At best, Tezuka\u2019s story and setting were inspired by a handful of stills and a bit of text, but were not as directly related to the Lang film as Otomo\u2019s version could be said to be.<\/p>\n

Moreover, it\u2019s become commonplace in writing about movies to assign a possessive credit to the director. Films of all stripes are collaborative ventures, but although there are occasional complaints from the Writers Guild and other interested parties, it\u2019s the directors who most often get to say that a film is \u201ctheirs\u201d. But Osamu Tezuka didn\u2019t direct Metropolis<\/em>. In fact, he\u2019d been dead for a generation when it was made, and left explicit instructions that it should never be filmed. Metropolis<\/em> was actually helmed by Shigeyuki Hayashi, usually known by his pen-name Rintaro, an animator who got his big break in the 1960s working for Tezuka on the iconic Astro Boy<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Rintaro\u2019s attitude towards Metropolis<\/em>, although usually spun in the media as an hommage<\/em> to his beloved mentor, doesn\u2019t have quite the same reputation among many anime professionals. One bitterly observed to me that Tezuka had been absolutely crystal clear about his opposition to seeing the story animated. In championing the production, Rintaro was less tipping his hat to Tezuka than flipping him the finger. He even admitted in press interviews that Tezuka \u201cwould have hated the film and will probably haunt me as a ghost.\u201d Otomo, too, was heard to say that while Tezuka had been an inspiration to him, he was sure that his cyberpunk stylings would not have found favour with Tezuka, were he to ever see them.<\/p>\n

In mitigation, such decisions over literary estates are fraught with what-ifs. Tezuka\u2019s heirs have been superbly adept at preserving his legacy with a number of modern remakes, so it should come as no surprise that Metropolis<\/em> gets the same treatment as Astro Boy<\/em> and Kimba the White Lion<\/em>. As with all estates, there is a question of whether the originator would have ever changed his mind. But the wrangles in the background over \u201cOsamu Tezuka\u2019s\u201d Metropolis<\/em> will always leave the audience guessing whose Metropolis<\/em> it really is.<\/p>\n

Osamu Tezuka\u2019s Metropolis<\/em> is screening at this year\u2019s Scotland Loves Anime<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
