I'm here for Ryuichi Sakamoto

As expected, if you watch a movie with a rotten girl mentality, you can only notice two handsome uncles.
I was attracted by Hikaru Utada's Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence a long time ago, and I didn't know the existence of this movie until I overheard the Ryuichi Sakamoto version not long ago and had a completely different feeling.
Maybe it's because I've heard it too many times before, so as soon as the opening music came out, tears flowed unconsciously. Especially in the two scenes where Yonoi caught Jack trying to run away and Jack took the initiative to kiss Yonoi. The same piece of music was used, and it was so beautiful that I couldn't help myself. Coupled with their expressions, I was about to get drunk.
Although the movie is classic, the acting skills of the uncles are slightly exaggerated, and they still prefer a modern performance style, which is more realistic and natural.
ps, hope Sakamoto Ryuichi recovers soon~~

Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence quotes

  • Sgt. Gengo Hara: I get it. You think they'll all want to bugger him. So, it's true: all Englishmen are queer.

  • Sgt. Gengo Hara: You're all afraid of queers, aren't you? Samurai aren't afraid of queers.

    Col. John Lawrence: War strengthens bonds of friendship between men, but that doesn't mean all soldiers turn queer.

    Sgt. Gengo Hara: You're not genuine soldiers. You're lowly POWs. That's why you lack discipline and beg me for favors. You should be ashamed.

    Col. John Lawrence: Sergeant Hara, I have nothing to be ashamed of.
