Anecdotes
According to David Bowie, Nagisa Ôshima directed the Japanese actors with great detail. But when it came to the British actors, they were told to "do whatever it is you people do".

Gaffes
In the final scene in the prison cell, the cross belt of Lt Col Lawrence's Sam Browne is fitted back to front.

Citations
Col. John Lawrence: You are the victim of men who think they are right... Just as one day you and captain Yonoi believed absolutely that you were right. And the truth is of course that nobody is right...

A fine tale of human spirit & morale!

David Bowie appears on the cover of this film, in spite of having one of the smaller major roles. After you see the movie you no longer question his presence there. His performance is magnificent. Watch for the understated behaviour regarding the flower.

This film is memorable because of a tremendous cast (including Jack Thompson- who keeps popping up in war movies) and a wonderful soundtrack by Ryuichi Sakamoto, who also performs in the movie. The soundtrack captures the jungle feeling, coupled with Japanese moods. Forbidden colours (song) has been known to give me goosebumps.

Very much, not your average War movie, _Merry Christmas Mister Lawrence_ is excellent because it portrays the relationship between captor and captive, victor and defeated. It's a movie about human spirit and love under dangerous circumstances! It's a movie about discipline and honour, especially the different way these are perceived.
