Sakamoto Ryuichi's eyes have a trace of sadness, and he is so handsome

The part of the hair cut is very confusing. . .

I can't look at Jack's face. When it comes to Jack's words, I personally feel that Jack's story is a bit far-fetched. There is no romance in his life. He only has a younger brother who was bullied by the school. He betrayed him. , well maybe I'm overthinking, watching the movie is largely because of Ryuichi Sakamoto and this song Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence, it's so beautiful

Homosexuality across ethnic divides, Lawrence sees it most clearly.

Homosexuals with cross-ethnic barriers, Lawrence is on the outside and can see it most clearly,

    A film that makes people gradually better, with a long stamina and a strong emotional impulse. 1. Taking the Southeast Asian prisoner of war camp as the space, the anti-war theme is expressed through the same-sex friendship across countries, races, and enemies. Except for Lawrence's confession, the whole film does not involve women, but the men's war crimes, violence and evil. Being cocooned and bound by oneself is unbearable. The cultural divide and collision between the East and the West is like the [Bridge on the River Kwai]. 2. The characters are flesh-and-blood and unforgettable: Mr. Lawrence, who is kind and gentle and often acts as a mediator, and Jack, who bears a lifetime debt for his cowardice when he was young, and uses self-destructive fearlessness to atone for his sins. The Yonojing of Zhiyuan, and the savage and arrogant but also showing compassion and kindness to the sergeant Ohara. 3. Sakamoto Ryuichi's electronic music is extremely moving, and the ethereal [Ride, Ride, Ride] is really sound. 4. Takeshi Kitano's greetings and freezes at the end are the saddest and most sincere "Merry Christmas" wishes I've ever heard. Just as Gadamer said, the festival allows the fallen people to re-experience the real time and life, and allows the separated to return to the original coexistence.

    In addition, the cover of the CC version is nagging: the whole thing is a naked "kiss and fight".

Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence quotes

  • Col. John Lawrence: Jack...

    Maj. Jack Celliers: Hmm?

    Col. John Lawrence: [referring to Capt. Yonoi] I think he's just taken a bit of a shine to you.

  • Col. John Lawrence: Would you rather punish the wrong man, than see the crime go unsolved and unpunished?

    Yonoi: Yes.

    Col. John Lawrence: You mean *I'm* to die, because you think if there's a crime, then it must be punished... and it doesn't matter *who* is punished?

    Yonoi: Yes!

    Col. John Lawrence: [a bit incredulous, starts to laugh] You're not by any chance a Gilbert & Sullivan fan, are you?
