东京奥运会不仅是一部电影成就的纪录片，而且还提出了一个非常有见地的批评非营利组织及其局限性。在批评电影的制作和政治，我认为，东京奥运会应该被视为一个表现力或“诗意”的纪录片，市川，人文主义电影制片人，捕捉到复杂和矛盾的性质，人文主义在奥运会。通过强调市川的决定性矛盾的角度对反法西斯主义的精神，我延长以前的批评，从其法西斯渲染里芬斯塔尔的奥林匹亚，东京奥运会作为救世主的反法西斯主义的真正精神。在这样做的时候，我的分析指出，在奥运会的媒体报道中经常发现的对体育的感性和陈腐的处理之间的对比，以及市川的东京奥运会对体育的平庸和英雄主义的微妙深刻的审视。
Tokyo Olympiad is not only a cinematically accomplished documentary film, but also presents a highly insightful critique of Olympism and its limitations. In critiquing the production and politics of the film, I argue that Tokyo Olympiad ought to be seen as an expressive or ‘poetic’ documentary film in which Ichikawa, the humanist filmmaker, captures the complex and contradictory nature of humanism in the Olympic Games. By highlighting Ichikawa's decidedly ambivalent perspective on the spirit of Olympism, I extend previous critiques that posit Tokyo Olympiad as the saviour of the true spirit of Olympism from its fascistic rendering in Riefenstahl's Olympia. In so doing, my analysis points to the contrast between the sentimental and hackneyed treatments of sport often found in the media coverage of the Olympics, and the subtle profound examination of the banality and heroism of sport in Ichikawa's Tokyo Olympiad.
