Public Domain?

Does anyone know why this movie is in the public domain? It's not all that old, as movies go. I thought most modern major motion pictures were copyrighted for decades to come. --Do Not Talk About Feitclub (contributions) 14:33, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty sure it has to do with it being a Japanese film...Here, the wikipedia page on public domain films makes a mention of it and links to this article. So Ikiru is in the public domain, but just barely! Hopelessshade 22:13, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

All of Kurosawa's films have been ruled by the Japanese courts to belong to the estate of Kurosawa until 2036, so I have corrected that statement in the article. http://www.hdrjapan.com/index.php?option=com_myblog&show=Copyright-wrangling-forces-bargain-Kurosawa-DVDs-off-the-shelves.html&Itemid=67 69.110.235.152 (talk) 05:21, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Park

I've just finished watching the Kurosawa collection on Criterion, and was surprised that the park in Ikiru appears to be the same location as in Drunken Angel and Scandal (1950 film). I have searched the internet, but haven't been able to find any confirmation. Does anyone have information on this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:569:74DE:DA00:AF:AEC6:49E1:8B06 (talk) 21:16, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

While they look similar they are constructed sets rather than actual locations. The visual was a recurring theme of AKs and it is also used in The Lower Depths although that looks nothing like the three you mention. MarnetteD|Talk 21:34, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oh and I forgot to mention that I hope you are enjoying the journey through his films. MarnetteD|Talk 21:35, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
