#RYUICHI SAKAMOTO MERRY CHRISTMAS MR.LAWRENCE MOVIE#
This movie makes for a great present for film buffs on any day of the year, Christmas or not. Take all of this together, the thematic subtexts and the strength of the acting, and you have one great movie. His work during an early scene where it appears that he has been condemned to die, is heart wrenching. Regarding the acting, all of the major performances are strong, but Bowie's requires special mention. Taken together, I had to wonder if director Nagisa Ôshima was trying to make some sort of comparison between Jesus's sacrifice and persecution and the sacrifices and persecution of queers throughout history. A long time ago, Plato in the Symposium argued that gay love between those of the same sex, was the highest form of love of all. I say this because, during one key scene, Celliers uses Captain Yonoi's attraction for him to save another man's life. This is a point that Lawrence tries to make clear to Hicksley, but Hicksley refuses to understand it.įurthermore, the filmmakers also draw a parallel here between Christ's love for humanity and gay love. It is made explicit on several occasions that the Japanese view the allied troops that surrendered, as cowardly for doing so, rather than committing seppuku. This is all contrasted with the Japanese notions of honour and sacrifice.

Only at one critical point, did Celliers ever choose not to endure pain for another, which was a decision that clearly haunted him forever afterwards. Later, he puts his life at risk in order to prevent Captain Yonoi from killing Hicksley. During one flashback, Celliers is shown taking a beating, in order to allow his brother to escape from a pack of bullies. This of course, does not even tough upon the fact that Celliers is quiet often the willing sacrifice. To me this part was obviously supposed to parallel Jesus's death and resurrection on the cross. Only it turns out that this execution is being done with blanks. When Celliers is being tied up by the Japanese, he's arms are outstretched in the classic crucifix position. Early in the movie, Celliers is tried by a Japanese Court for war crimes and sentenced to die. During a key scene Celliers distributes food to the prisoners during a time when Captain Yonoi had ordered a fast from a basket, much like Jesus distributed loaves and fishes to a hungry crowd. For example, Jack Celliers has the initials JC, which is a screenwriters convention to indicate a messiah complex. Complications come from the Group Captain Hicksley (Jack Thompson), who finds Lawrence's sympathies for the Japanese intolerable and is angry at Yonoi's plans to have Celliers appointed as the new Group Captain.įirst, I must point out the obvious parallels that are drawn between Bowie's Celliers and Jesus Christ.

When a new prisoner, Major Jack 'Strafer' Celliers (David Bowie) arrives, Yonoi soon finds himself becoming increasingly attracted to Celliers, naturally leading to chaos and strife. at a Japanese camp under the command of Captain Yonoi (Ryûichi Sakamoto).
