Wiki.
The Gate of Youth (Japanese: 青春の門, Hepburn: Seishun no mon) is a 1981 Japanese film co-directed by Kinji Fukasaku and Koreyoshi Kurahara. A Kurahara-directed sequel titled Seishun no mon: Jiritsu hen (青春の門: 自立篇, transl. The Gate of Youth Part 2) was released in 1982.
Both films are based on a story by Hiroyuki Itsuki that was originally serialized in the magazine Shukan Gendai in 1969–70. The same story inspired a 1975 film of the same name, which itself received a 1977 sequel (also titled Seishun no mon: Jiritsu hen), as well as three separate television productions in 1976-77 (TBS), 1991 (TV Tokyo), and 2005 (TBS).
