This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Tokyo Olympiad''''', also known in Japan as ((nihongo|'''''Tōkyō Olympic'''''|東京オリンピック|Tōkyō Orinpikku|lit. "Tokyo Olympics")), is a [[1965 in film|1965]] [[Japan]]ese [[documentary film]] [[Film director|directed]] by [[Kon Ichikawa]] which documents the [[1964 Summer Olympics]] in [[Tokyo]]. Like [[Leni Riefenstahl]]'s ''[[Olympia (1938 film)|Olympia]]'', which documented the [[1936 Summer Olympics]] in [[Berlin]], Ichikawa's film was considered a cinematographic milestone in documentary filmmaking. However, ''Tokyo Olympiad'' keeps its focus far more on the atmosphere of the games and the human side of the athletes rather than concentrating on winning and the results. It is one of the few sports documentaries included in the book ''[[1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die]]''.

==Production history==
The [[1964 Summer Olympics]] were seen as vitally important to the [[Government of Japan|Japanese government]]. Much of Japan's infrastructure had been destroyed during [[World War II]] and the Olympics were seen as a chance to re-introduce Japan to the world and show off its new modernised roads and industry as well as its burgeoning [[Economy of Japan|economy]]. Every Olympics since the first modern games in [[1896 Summer Olympics]] had been committed to film to some extent or another, usually financed by the [[International Olympic Committee]] (IOC) for reasons of posterity. For the 1964 Olympics the Japanese government decided to finance their own film and initially hired [[Akira Kurosawa]] who, at the time, was the most famous Japanese director worldwide thanks to films such as ''[[Ikiru]]'' and ''[[Seven Samurai]]''. However, Kurosawa's famous tendency for complete control - he demanded to not only direct the film but the opening and closing ceremonies as well - led to his dismissal. This led to the bringing in of Ichikawa, who had a reputation of coming into productions where events had not followed the initial plans.

==Controversy==
Ichikawa's vision of the Tokyo Olympics was controversial at the time as it was the opposite of what the Japanese government wanted and expected of the film. Ichikawa presented a film which was very much a cinematic and artistic recording of the events, more concerned with the athletes and spectators, than the straight-forward journalistic, historical recording that was expected by its financiers. As a result, the Japanese Olympic Committee forced Ichikawa to re-edit the picture to better suit their requirements, with the final, re-edited, version clocking in at 93 minutes rather than the original's 165 minutes.

==Release==
''Tokyo Olympiad'' was released theatrically in Japan on 20 March 1965 where it was distributed by [[Toho]].((sfn|Galbraith IV|2008|p=218)) It had its original 165-minute runtime and included an [[intermission]].((sfn|Galbraith IV|2008|p=218))

The film was released in the United States on 20 October 1965, in its edited format with a 93-minute runtime, by Pan-World Film Exchange and Jack Douglas Enterprises, and with an added English language narration.((sfn|Galbraith IV|2008|p=218))((sfn|Galbraith IV|2008|p=218)) The film was later reissued in 1984 by [[Janus Films]] and Night Kitchen, Inc. with English subtitles at the original 165-minute runtime.((sfn|Galbraith IV|2008|p=218))

A 125-minute cut of the film with English narration is available to view on [[YouTube|Youtube]] via the official Olympics channel. It is titled ''The Complete Tokyo 1964 Olympics Film'' although this version is nearly 45 minutes shorter than the original release.

As of 2020, a restored, full and unedited version of the original Japanese release is available to view on the [https://olympics.com/en/video/tokyo-1964-official-film Olympic Channel's own website].<ref>((Cite web|title=Tokyo 1964 Official Film ((!)) Tokyo Olympiad|url=https://olympics.com/en/video/tokyo-1964-official-film|access-date=2021-07-22|website=Olympics.com))</ref>

==Box office==
The film initially had a [[distributor rental]] income of ((JPY|1,223,210,000)) in Japanese theaters, where it drew 7.5((nbsp))million admissions. It was later screened in schools and public halls, drawing a further 16((nbsp))million admissions. This brought its total [[box office]] to 23.5((nbsp))million admissions, setting the record for the [[List of highest-grossing films in Japan|highest-grossing film in Japan]] in terms of box office admissions.<ref name="guinness">((cite book |title=ギネスブック'84 |date=1984 |series=[[Guinness World Records|Guinness]] |publisher=[[Kodansha]] |page=452 |chapter=特集・日本の記録))</ref> Its record was later matched by [[Hayao Miyazaki]]'s [[anime]] film ''[[Spirited Away]]'' (2001).<ref name="toho">[https://web.archive.org/web/20021215210543/http://www.toho.co.jp/movienews/0111/07sen_nk.html 日本新記録達成!「千と千尋の神隠し」記者会見], [[Toho]], 2001-11-7（[[Internet Archive]]）</ref>

In France, the film sold 993,555 tickets at the box office,<ref>((Cite web |title=Tōkyō Orinpikku (1965) |url=http://www.jpbox-office.com/fichfilm.php?id=15101 |access-date=2022-03-24 |website=JP's Box-Office |language=fr))</ref> bringing its total box office admissions to ((formatnum:((#expr:23500000+993555))|)) tickets sold in Japan and France.

==Reception==
The film is held in very high critical regard and is seen, alongside [[Leni Riefenstahl]]'s ''[[Olympia (1938 film)|Olympia]]'', as one of the best films about the Olympics and, indeed, as one of the best sports documentaries of all time. Its focus on the humanity of athletes and spectators, showing the physical effort, excitement, joy of victory and disappointment of defeat, rather than simply the recording of results, was seen as highly original, and the use of zoom lenses and close-ups set a new standard for the filming of sports. Based on 11 reviews collected by the film review aggregator [[Rotten Tomatoes]], 100% of critics gave the film a positive review.<ref>((cite web |title = Tokyo Olympiad (1965) |url = http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/tokyo_olympiad/ |publisher = [[Rotten Tomatoes]] |access-date = September 10, 2009 ))</ref> Ichikawa was recognised by the IOC with the award of the [[Olympic Diploma of Merit]].

==Commercial availability==
It was released in North America on DVD through [[The Criterion Collection]] in 2002 but was made [[out of print]] in 2007.  It would appear on [[eBay]] regularly but often at prices around $70.  In the UK, it was released through [[Tartan Video]] but was also taken out of print.

In 2004, it was released on DVD in Japan through Toho.  In addition to the 170-minute theatrical version, there was a 148-minute "40th Anniversary Edition", which was also considered a director's cut.  This has not been made available outside of Japan.

In 2013, the official Olympic [[YouTube]] channel made a 125-minute edited version with the English narration available on the internet.<ref>((cite web |title = The Complete Tokyo 1964 Olympics Film | website=[[YouTube]] |url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHt0eAdCCns |access-date = October 27, 2015 ))</ref>

In December 2017, The Criterion Collection issued on Blu-ray and DVD, under exclusive license from the [[IOC]], ''100 Years of Olympic Films: 1912-2012'', which includes ''Tokyo Olympiad''. Ichikawa's documentary subsequently received a new standalone release.

In 2019, the official Olympic Channel's own website made a digitally restored and unedited copy of the full original release available on the internet.<ref>((cite web |title = Tokyo 1964 Official Film |url = https://www.olympicchannel.com/en/original-series/detail/official-films/official-films-season-season-1/episodes/tokyo-1964-official-film/ | access-date = November 19, 2020 ))</ref>
