You can still find it on a good Sylvian album called Secrets Of The Beehive. Happy listening. I KNEW I had heard this somewhere before. Thanks for the reminder! |

| hippiechick (Weekendland) | Posted: Dec 13, 2007 - 13:59 From Wikipedia: Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence (Senjou no Merii Kurisumasu, aka Furyo in many European editions) is a 1983 film directed by Nagisa Oshima, produced by Jeremy Thomas and starring David Bowie, Tom Conti, Ryuichi Sakamoto, and Takeshi Kitano. It was written by Oshima and Paul Mayersberg and based on World War II experiences as a prisoner of war of the writer Laurens van der Post as told in his works The Seed and the Sower (1963) and The Night of the New Moon (1970). Ryuichi Sakamoto also wrote the musical score. Plot The film deals with the relationships among four men in a Japanese prisoner of war camp during the Second World War Jack Celliers (Bowie), a rebellious prisoner with a guilty secret from his youth in New Zealand; Captain Yonoi (Sakamoto), the young camp commandant; Lieutenant Colonel John Lawrence (Conti), a British officer who has lived in Japan and speaks Japanese fluently; and Sergeant Hara (Kitano), with whom Lawrence develops a peculiar friendship. Like Celliers, Yonoi, too, is tormented by guilt. Having been posted to Manchuria previously, he was unable to be in Tokyo with his Army comrades, the "Shining Young Officers" of Japan's February 26 Incident, a 1936 military coup d'etat. When the coup fails, the young army officers are executed. Yonoi regrets not being able to share their patriotic sacrifice. Jack Celliers had betrayed his deformed younger brother while the two of them were attending boarding school. Although Celliers confesses this only to Lawrence, Captain Yonoi senses in Celliers a kindred spirit. He wants to replace Hicksley with Celliers as spokesman for the prisoners. Analysis The film also deals with communication between cultures. Lawrence is the only one who can effectively communicate with the Japanese officers, but the British camp commandant, Colonel Hicklsey, sees his liaison with the Japanese as betrayal. Each culture has its own code of conduct, each of which is unfathomable to the other. Lawrence tries to bridge the gap, but he is hampered by the fact that Yonoi and Hara don't understand the British as well as Lawrence understands the Japanese. Psychological and psychoanalytical reasons for the way people act in time of war are closely examined. Both Ryuichi Sakamoto and David Bowie were superstars in their own cultures. A strong sense of national identity is established. The film is seen mainly from the British point of view, although filmed by a Japanese director. It is an even-handed treatment of intercultural communication, and the controlling power of desire and the unexpected forms that it can take. Music The film is mostly known for its soundtrack, by Ryuichi Sakamoto. The main score, which bears the same title as the movie, ranks among Sakamoto's most well-known songs and made him known to a broader public. The soundtrack also contains the vocal version of this title track, better known as Forbidden Colours with lyrics sung and composed by David Sylvian. There exists also a 12" vinyl remake version on the famous Italian record label DISCOMAGIC named Clock On 5 - Theme From Furyo |

Which I've never seen. |
