What will happen to the American officer and the young Japanese officer in the Japanese POW camp, the one in prison and the one in high office? Win or lose, can the justice of war be defined by the winner? It's a love story, but it's much more than love. I have to mention the professor at this time, handsome and firm, he seems to be the incarnation of yuoni. In this way, he met Jack, who was imprisoned but upright and unyielding. The heroic and poignant beauty displayed by him deeply attracted Noi from the first time. He sat in the high court and saw him standing straight in the center, his eyes were full of surprise and confusion. Jack unbuttoned his shirt to show the evidence of being beaten. He stared blankly for a few seconds and then quickly ordered put on your shirt in broken English, turned around and left awkwardly, pretending to be calm, as if he was not a young, promising and vigorous officer. , but a young man who is in love. It's just that the professor is talented in the music world at a young age, but he is still so handsome and his acting skills are so perfect.
However, Jack, who already had a son and a daughter, was not moved by it, but kept using him. He looked into Noi's eyes, and ate the safflower ruthlessly, a pair of blue and black eyes flashing with unruly light. Noi was breathing heavily again: who do you think you are ?some evil spirit? He was held by the Japanese soldiers on his shoulders, and he raised his chin and said, yeah, and some kind of yours I hope. This time, even Noi's guards Realize that he is his evil spirit and will destroy him.
Noi's loyal guards risked their lives to assassinate Jack (Mr. Laurence, who is well versed in Japanese culture, knew that this was their superstition) was killed by Jack, who kissed the Persian blanket under him - I was here too He hesitated whether Jack loves Noi too, but when he carried Mr. Laurence on his back and wanted to escape, he said, Noi gave me a blanket, it's good for you (it's good for you (it can be used by the injured Laurence on the way to escape) Jack is carrying Laurence but he is meeting him head-on When he arrived at Noi, he stared at him viciously again and said: I think you are here to retrieve your blanket, right? Typical western humor, but here it stabs Noi like a knife and stings me too. Jack took out the short knife, and Noi also drew the knife, but his eyes were full of contradictions, reluctance, and determination to fight to the death with his lover, but Jack provocatively put down the knife with his trademark mad smile. Noi growled, why didn't you resist? Defeat me and you will be free! Jack knew all too well what it took to really fail him. The guards came to shoot Jack, but Noi stood in front of him. Laurence said I think he likes you a little bit, Jack put his head down, does he feel guilty? I think he's snickering more. The man who despised all his enemies took his revenge on the group in his own way.
Sergeant Yuan released Jack and Laurence from prison and returned to the prisoner of war camp through his own drunkenness. Noi reprimanded him in front of everyone, are you flouting military regulations? When he was left alone, he handed him a cigarette with a chrysanthemum printed on it (at this time, the camera gave a close-up of the pattern). The samurai sword and chrysanthemum are symbols of the duality of the Japanese nation, as well as a symbol of Noi's inner contradiction and struggle.
In the final classic scene, in order to save the British officer, Jack walked up to Noi who was about to execute him. Noi panicked and ordered him to go back. He pushed him and pushed him to the ground with his backhand. Jack got up, didn't even pat the dust on his body, walked over, and in front of all the prisoners and Japanese soldiers, kissed Noi's left and right cheeks, and pressed his face. With such a gentle action, Jack's eyes were full of determination and calm, as if a doctor with high professionalism was dissecting the enemy's corpse. The intense shock filled Noi's eyes with tears, and he raised his katana towards him, shuddering and fainting.
Jack knew he was going to die. In fact, his heart had already died with his brother's singing. He used his life to resist what he thought was injustice, in order to complete the redemption of the mistakes he made when he was young. This made him different, and it was also destined that Noi's love was a tragedy from the very beginning. Noi's figure appeared in the night, just like the tall and straight figure that appeared from behind Jack on the day of "shooting" Jack. He sent away the soldiers guarding Jack's body, cut off a strand of Jack's hair, wrapped it up solemnly, and went around to him, paying the highest respect to his enemy as a soldier: the military salute. He can't give up his beliefs and he can't stop himself from loving you. Noi's almost perverted and severe punishment of those who engage in homosexuality in the military is actually punishing and admonishing himself.
In the end, the Pacific War is won, the identities of former prisoners and officers are reversed, and Laurence goes to visit the former Sergeant who is about to be executed. The conversation between Sergeant Yuan and Mr. Laurence who had studied English changed from Japanese to English, which also indirectly reflected the change of status. Takeshi Kitano's dialogue between Sergeant Hara and Laurence about the success or failure of the war elevates the film to a higher level. Although I feel that the appearance of Takeshi Kitano in the film is a little greasy and the acting is slightly paralyzed at this time, this paragraph echoing the previous merry Christmas, mr Laurence, and the tears in Takeshi Kitano's eyes are the only thing that makes me cry in the film place.
"I am ready to die. I just don't understand, my crime has no difference with other soldiers."
"I already have the consciousness to die. (It's so good here!) I just don't understand, the crimes I committed are no different from other soldiers." Sergeant Yuan looked at his knees, he was thinner than before Some, but with a lot of beads hanging on his neck, he was less vicious than before, and more peaceful and peaceful.
"At that time, each of us thought we were right. But there is no such thing as completely right or wrong in this world."
