When we scheduled an interview with Ryuichi Sakamoto, there was a lot we already wanted to talk about. My vote is eight.“I was with him for a month, every day, on a very small island in the South Pacific Ocean.” Therefore the sick discussion about homosexuality of Yonoi and Jack is ridiculous. Psychology explains that in areas involving control, such as dominance, people tend to pair up with their opposites. In between there is John Lawrence, a man who can understand both sides based on his life experience.
This film has not lost the impact along the years and it is impressive how the difference of Western and Japanese cultures is depicted through the British Jack 'Strafer' Celliers and the Japanese Yonoi. The beginning with the music of Ryuichi Sakamoto indicates how classy it is.
Lawrence" is certainly one of the best anti-war films ever made. Yesterday my homage to David Bowie was watching again maybe for the fourth or fifth time one of his best films. Yonoi believes that Jack is possessed by demons and their confrontation will lead the British to a tragic end. When the rebel Jack leaves the infirmary, he challenges Yonoi, who is a man that follows the principles of honor and discipline. The liaison of the prisoners with Yonoi and Sergeant Gengo Hara (Takeshi Kitano), Colonel John Lawrence (Tom Conti), has lived in Japan for many years and can understand both cultures and their leader is Captain Hicksley (Jack Thompson). The camp commander Captain Yonoi (Ryûichi Sakamoto) feels a sort of fascination for Jack and sends him to the infirmary to be treated. He explains that the Japanese soldiers would murder the local villagers and he decided to surrender to avoid the massacre. In 1942, in Java, the British Major Jack 'Strafer' Celliers (David Bowie) arrives in the Japanese POW camp and is submitted to a Japanese court to examine his surrender.
