    It turns out that David Bowie is not only a great musician, but also a great actor. Ryuichi Sakamoto is so handsome! ! ! ! So pure and subtle homosexual love, those people's friendship is pure too. Sainoi must be shocked by Jake's beauty! ! ! ! !...

    This is also a movie from a Japanese perspective. Japanese and Western values ​​collide on this small battlefield. Nagisa Oshima is like opening the belly of the Japanese to reveal the spirit of shame. The camaraderie, or the spiritual fusion that is interpreted as a rose, makes the shame (or desire for redemption) of every individual in the foreign country to have the purest interlacing, and they reach the same destination on the day of redemption at...

    The cruelty of the war turned the elegant and easygoing Ryuichi Sakamoto into a brutal demon, and his reflection on the war also made the tyrannical Takeshi Kitano return to humanity and rationality. Compared with the two Japanese officers who were both pitiful people, David Bowie was free and easy from the beginning. At the end of the film, he used his sacrifice to plant seeds in the hearts of everyone drowned in the bitter sea of ​​war. Although the film wears the cloak of a same-sex film,...

    On the surface, Jack is the captive of Yonoi, but emotionally Yonoi has become Jack's captive from the first sight. That kiss was love, bravery, redemption, and a seed that disintegrated their once firm...

    The loss of the soundtrack will make this film inferior to many of the story patterns. The joy on the surface and the grief deep inside this prisoner of war camp. He cut that lock of hair as a circumcision of his own same-sex plot and his love for this man. Unforgettable Takeshi Kitano said "Merry...

    The flower of humanity blossomed on the soil of militarism. Yonoi and Hara represent a fanatical crowd blinded by militarism, blindly following false beliefs, and paranoid about getting everyone to accept their beliefs. Their atrocities were not innate, their beliefs told them it was the only option. Celliers is both a sower and a seed. His appearance makes Yonoi feel that the talents created by his beliefs are not perfect, and let him experience the richness of human nature. His rebelliousness...

    Sakamoto with his own eyeliner and grooming (thinking of Mishima), Dabao same-color scarf and jumpsuit are trendy (thinking of Lawrence in the desert), TC version of Lawrence (Italian genes are too strong, this prisoner of war is more "professional", poof~ ), Kitano Pace... The director was not addicted enough, and later filmed "The Imperial Law". Two songs sung by prisoners of war: Rock of Ages to the Dutch soldier who bit his tongue and committed suicide, Psalm23 to the buried...

    #SIFF2016#My opening film, Ryuichi Sakamoto and David Bowie turned all life upside down. "Forbidden Colours", My love wears forbidden colours, the whole film is full of taboos and inappropriateness. On the one hand, it is the inconsistency of the hostile camp, and on the other hand, it is the glimmer of human nature and ambiguous feelings that are inappropriate. All the violence, conflicts and subtle emotions correspond to human nature subtle and...

    Forms and spirits collapsed until they didn't know what to say. Compared with the corresponding polyphonic tragedy of "Bridge on the River Kwai", the thinking of this work is completely superficial (in terms of nationality, it is even just a distinction of a preset position without reflection - the same-sex The compassionate nature recalled by love, this "human nature" is the Western spirit reconciled by modern times, the balance point of personal/utilitarianism and Christian doctrine) But...

Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence quotes

  • Group Capt. Hicksley: I don't know what to make of you, Lawrence. You're either very clever or you're bloody stupid.

  • Yonoi: Who do you think you are? Are you an evil spirit?

    Maj. Jack Celliers: Yes, and one of yours I hope.
