Forbidden colors
The soundtrack at the beginning had me captivated. A movie without a woman, a movie full of dust and sweat, can use such a soulful and sad soundtrack. A film made by a Japanese director, in the process of watching it, always makes people think that it was made by European and American countries,...

The movie I wanted to watch because of OST~ The whole plot is the usual calmness of Nippon Shadow, until at the end, Ohara shouted out the sentence: "Lawrence, Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence!" Emotions are waiting for this moment to vent. "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence" is a masterpiece, and the line appears twice in the movie, both times with a tear-jerking effect.

A film that makes people gradually better, with a long stamina and a strong emotional impulse. 1. Taking the Southeast Asian prisoner of war camp as the space, the anti-war theme is expressed through the same-sex friendship across countries, races, and enemies. Except for Lawrence's confession, the whole film does not involve women, but the men's war crimes, violence and evil. Being cocooned and bound by oneself is unbearable. The cultural divide and collision between the East and the West is like the [Bridge on the River Kwai]. 2. The characters are flesh-and-blood and unforgettable: Mr. Lawrence, who is kind and gentle and often acts as a mediator, and Jack, who bears a lifetime debt for his cowardice when he was young, and uses self-destructive fearlessness to atone for his sins. The Yonojing of Zhiyuan, and the savage and arrogant but also showing compassion and kindness to the sergeant Ohara. 3. Sakamoto Ryuichi's electronic music is extremely moving, and the ethereal [Ride, Ride, Ride] is really sound. 4. Takeshi Kitano's greetings and freezes at the end are the saddest and most sincere "Merry Christmas" wishes I've ever heard. Just as Gadamer said, the festival allows the fallen people to re-experience the real time and life, and allows the separated to return to the original coexistence. (9.0/10)【2021.6.20.SIFF Tianshan Review】
Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence quotes
-
Col. John Lawrence: Sir, I know these people. I wish you'd be guided by my knowledge.
Group Capt. Hicksley: I know these people, too. They're the enemy! And you're a British soldier.

Sgt. Gengo Hara: Lawrence, why are you still alive? I'd admire you more if you killed yourself. How can a fine officer like you stand such shame?
Col. John Lawrence: We don't consider it shameful. Being taken prisoner is a matter of chance. Of course, we don't enjoy being prisoners. We want to escape. We want to go on fighting you.
Sgt. Gengo Hara: Don't lie. Those are just excuses.
Col. John Lawrence: It's true! We want to win the war! For us, this camp isn't the end. We won't kill ourselves. That's cowardly.
Sgt. Gengo Hara: You're just scared of dying! I'm not!
