https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/kAc766-3YIA3Qet7urM5jQ Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence (aka: Merry Christmas on the Battlefield) is a war drama released by Universal Pictures on May 28, 1983 It was released in Japan on 19th and was directed by Nagisa Oshima, starring David Bowie, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Tom Conti, and Takeshi Kitano. The film is adapted from the novel "The Seed and the Sower" by the British writer Lawrence Post. It tells the story of a Japanese prisoner of war camp in Java, Indonesia in 1942, when Japanese officers and British prisoners of war on a hostile position fought each other at the same time on a spiritual level. Conflicting stories. [1] In the original book "The Seed and the Sower", the content of the story is divided into three independent parts that are not very relevant, and Lawrence and "I" lead this old story. The three stories are roughly: Korean guards and Dutch prisoners of war; Lawrence's past in Singapore; Jack Celias and Yonoi. The film has cut and changed these three clues, mainly focusing on the two lines of "Lawrence and the original Sergeant" and "Jack and Shinoi". The first person "I" was deleted, and the whole story was mainly unfolded from the perspective of Lawrence, who was more like a witness. And these deletions and mergers also create a subtle and turbulent chemical reaction between the characters and the story. The clues of the story are mainly based on the bright line between Jack and Shinoi, and the dark line between Lawrence and Sergeant Yuan; with the clues of Jinben and the Dutch soldier as the guide, Jack's memory of his younger brother is inserted as an explanation, which brings a thought-provoking tragedy to the audience.
