Hans Zimmer - Black Rain (Final Ending Score)

I also get teary-eyed. He gained his honor and redeemed himself.

[@natskivna]

Ultimately, a fantastic story of redemption for 2 men. Great film. For Nick, it was about reclaiming his honor. Nick admitted to Maas that he had taken dirty money from drug busts in the United States when he was having a rough time keeping up with expenses with just his salary. Maas reminded Nick that doing so was dishonorable to all cops including Maas, his deceased partner Charlie and most of all to himself. Maas's refusal to give up on Nick and putting his own neck on the line to capture Sato helped Nick to truly understand his past dishonor. Nick leaving the plates behind showed Maas that Nick truly got the message and he reclaimed his honor. For Maas, the redemption was for his previous multiple failures to finish any important job because of his refusal to stray from the rigid tactics his culture and training required. Nick showed him a different and effective way to get the job done by trusting his partner in the face of difficult odds and risk to his career while keeping his honor in the end.

Except Nick’s so-called redemption includes corrupting Masa. Providing him with the two imprinting plates … (paraphrasing): “if someone had both, they’d be set for life” from earlier in the movie. So, they were not turned in as police evidence but instead covertly gifted to Masa. Earlier, Masa made Nick feel shame for skimming proceeds of crime.

[@Devillin]

I loved how he perfectly displayed disappointment that he thought Douglas' character had stolen the plates.

[@jakobtoftfrandsen3416]

I wonder that he always was expecting that the plates were completely lost - and not that Douglas had stolen them.

[@Devillin]

When he mentioned the plates, he did think they were lost. But then Douglas replied back about how whoever had them could print up a fortune. You can see Ken's face change at that moment, and he maintained that disappointed look until he saw the plates in the box. Look at how his face changes from roughly 3:05 to about 3:20. Everything about his expression says "huh. let me get this liar out of here."

This is one of the best tracks from the movie’s score. It truly captures the spirit of triumph from the capture of Sato and the redemption of Nick Conklin and Matsumoto-San. One of the best “good guys come out on top” moments from the 80’s

[@scottmcintire8634]

Perhaps the only thing that could have made the scene more memorable would have been to have Matsumoto enter with his ‘battlefield pick-up’ Yakuza H&K MP5A3 sub machine gun reverse-slung over his strong side (right) shoulder with no magazine in the well, action locked open to show the weapon is Safe, and after he announces the capture and custody of Sato, slips the slung SMG off his shoulder and sets it down on the nearest desk with a heavy metallic clunk, thereby establishing his credentials as one bad ass cop. Just a thought…

Yusaku Matsuda. The actor who played Sato. One of the best screen villains ever. He was a stand up comedian before he was Yakuza. He passed six months after being in the film. Stomach cancer. The film ending proves to be a triple redemption story. Capturing Sato avenges the death of Charlie. Nick has his honor restored in a country that prides itself on being honorable in all things. Matsumoto has the greatest reward. He has been restored to his group when Nick leaves him at the airport. But. He will now have the greatest individual honor of returning the plates. Not using them to be "set for life". Awesome film. Ridley Scott hit a home run for sure. Don't sleep on Kate Capshaw. Her finest role. TBH.

The very essence of 80s soundtracks, cinematography & directing was captured so seamlessly & superbly in this scene, while there is an avant garde quality to it, made more so with that exquisitely perfected balance that was displayed between the Eastern & Western elements (within an Eastern Japanese context, yet with palpable overtones of fierce NYC badassery evident in Douglas's very well played characterization), all of it flowing smoothly into one marvelous & fascinating scene, with the traditional, mystically reflective Eastern score driving it so beautifully, so powerfully (there is just something healing & divine about it, this music, full of deep soulful redemption, ancient tranquility & spiritual fulfillment, with echoes of a much earlier age, featuring a sense of honor restored, of dignity revived, of noble ideals met & maintained, of an honorable duty bound warrior who has served with exemplary dedication, fealty & integrity, therefore thoroughly redeeming himself & his brave forebears, thus recapturing his honor, in their eyes!). Just amazing! This whole scene, along with basically the rest of the movie. Great Stuff!
