[edit] Song

The song Ai no corrida was written (music & lyrics) and recorded by Chaz Jankel [1] in 1980, recorded again by Quincy Jones in 1981 (opening track on the album The Dude), and featured in late 2005 by the group Uniting Nations. What is its relationship to the film? --LA2 11:15, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Well, according to this page[2] (which is supposedly a interview with Chaz Jankel) the song is somewhat based on the movie.

"Suddenly I’m in my hotel room with this beautiful Dutch model. Everything astrologically was happening for me that night, I can tell you. Next thing I know, this melody pops into my head, but I realised that the melody wasn’t suitable for the Blockheads. I gave a cassette with the melody on to Kenny Young, who’d co-written ‘Under The Boardwalk’. Anyway, he calls me from MIDEM. ‘Chaz, I’ve got this great idea for your melody: "Ai No Corrida, that’s where I am…"’ I had no idea what he was talking about. So he told me all about this movie by Oshima, In The Realm Of The Senses (the Japanese name was Ai No Corrida). It was a true story about a geisha who fell in love with the madame’s husband but because of the class system there was no chance they could have a relationship." I cannot vouch for the trustworthyness of the source though --85.30.133.209 13:03, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Theme section

Did anyone else catch the parallel theme of Japanese militarism? As the sexual encounters became increasingly carnal the Japanese military flags waved more frequently and upon the culmination of all the sexual acts the Japanese soldiers mobilized and deployed.EECavazos (talk) 03:59, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
