Oshima Nagisa made a cruel film, because it was full of human ugliness, and it was very straightforward, without any restraint, and it was all ugly, ugly, and ugly. The most terrifying thing is that the ugly caster, just like all the ugly casters in this world, is decorated with sacred and beautiful declarations, so that the hot blood underneath turns into dog blood, and smears it on the dirty ground casually, so that the people who originally wanted to be Those who admire under the cherry tree become ascetic monks, and their best feelings are regarded as magic tricks to deceive people. People who were supposed to love each other can only fall into purgatory before dawn.
Mr. Lawrence is right, Japan is indeed an "anxious" nation, and everyone is in danger to the point of provoking a war to gain a sense of security. And what about the British, Jack chose to turn a blind eye in order to escape the huge shadow of his brother, and because he couldn't bear the guilt of his brother, he couldn't wait to chase his own death. In fact, this is a huge black hole, swallowing us all the time, and anyone may become a demon in the next second. It is a pity that the local culture in Japan does not give the Japanese any room for relief. Even if they suffer a little humiliation, they have to commit suicide immediately. Shinoi may have been an ordinary young man who wanted to serve the country. Maybe he just believed in the emperor sincerely, and was pulled into a place of doom by thousands of invisible hands.
After Jack appeared, Yonoi's world was turned upside down, he began to contradict instinctively, this fission produced severe pain, and inadvertently revealed a kind of joy that could not be concealed, he even visited late at night. disease, but at first he was only confused, thinking that the feeling in his heart was an illusion of being alienated. When the officer began to be depressed by the reminder of the prisoner of war, his long-sleep human nature finally broke free of "anxiety" and gained brief liberation.
But in the war everything is suppressed by madness, and no one can escape. Finally, in a "dedicated" kiss from Jack, Yonoi's humanity is fully awakened, and this also means that he will be abandoned by the whole world.
Of all the names of the movie, I like the English name "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence" the most because it is the warmest moment in the whole film, the drunk original madman recklessly put Lawrence and Jack, in that crazy time only Only with the help of alcohol can we find reason, and we can bless and praise the gods in the broken war. At that time, no one was a heretic.
Also :
Nagisa Oshima is one of the few people who is upright, watching all his movies are about sex, but he doesn't have a hint of obscene. Porn and erotica are out of order, but worlds apart.
Sakamoto Ryuichi is a god who chases to death.
It's no worse for the Japanese to play their perverts than the Chinese (in this film), so I admire them.
