I'm not like David Lean

Love Ryuichi Sakamoto, love David Bowie;
love cruelty, love ambiguity;
love David Bowie's kiss on Ryichi Sakamoto's cheek more;

don't love war, don't love humanism,
love the story of officers and prisoners of war;
love Young Takeshi Kitano
is the most annoying thing;

looking like Al Pacino is the most annoying;
looking like LEONARD COHEN is the most annoying

thing I did not shoot "Lawrence of Arabia",
I am not with David Lean Same,

I'm Nagisa Oshima,
this is my 1983 work: Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence

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.
