In year 1989, two different films titled 'Black Rain' were made to depict Japanese realities. The first film was directed by acclaimed Japanese director Shohei Imamura. His film discussed the consequences of Hiroshima bombing on Japanese people. The credit for making second 'Black Rain' goes to American filmmaker Ridley Scott whose film makes good use of both American as well as Japanese actors to portray lives of criminals whose influence goes beyond the national borders of two highly advanced countries Japan and USA. It is fun to watch how American cops Andy Garcia and Michael Douglas get some major morality lessons from their Japanese counterpart Takakura Ken. American film 'Black Rain' features a lot of cops who are determined to catch tough criminals but it does not portray itself as a buddy movie. At times, it appears as a tale of cultural differences as American as well as Japanese police use all their best policing methods to catch hoodlums who have wreaked havoc in both countries. Action scenes are this film's major highlight. However, they do nothing to weaken viewers' interest in appreciating the dramatic elements of this film. Lastly, if exploring Osaka city without leaving your house is on your mind then 'Black Rain' is the ideal film for you.
