Title: So close to plagiarism
Product review: Although I enjoyed the movie a great deal, I wondered throughout what Riuichi Sakamoto must have thought when he heard the score. It is so much like--blatantly so, down to the key and choice of instrumentation--the Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence soundtrack that I am surprised there hasn't been a court case involving the two scores....or has there? Maybe the two composers are old friends and they really don't mind.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
