Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence, Movie Reviews and Scenes

“Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence” is a novel movie; this movie describes the two different cultures (Japanese and British) and two different styles of the military facilities (Pragmatic and patriotic). Its scenes are awesome and I think it would be enough for a movie to continue to the way of success. People liked the comparison between cultures and military services, that is the reason that this movie becomes pretty good. 

Contrasts of Japanese and British culture

After the release of this movie, there were added some more contrast scenes in the movie that did not work so well, a difference between the ideas of theatrical acting styles was added in this movie. The Japanese tradition reveals and forces on the more overwrought acting style, made of grimaces and screams, dramatizations and histrionics whereas British recommends that everything must be equal, performers should behave same as they behave in the real world.

Both culture and traditions had worked well in the movie, but when the British and Japanese are on the screen at a time, they are looking strange and sharing same truths. We are surprised, on the small bold thinking of our mind; whether British examine that the Japanese bluster over a lot (It includes the weather) and whether the Japanese answered and find the British catatonic.

Director and Team of Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence

This film is directed by the best and famous Japanese man Nagisa Oshima. He is a notorious director and also known for scenes of the movie "In the Realm of the Senses". This movie was about the fascinated relationships and victims and its scene starts with the love affairs between a geisha and a businessman, and this was ended at the bloodbath of castration and suicide. It was released in 1976.

Some Popular scenes in Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence

 The movie scene starts with the time in 1942 in a Japanese camp, the whole movie moves around the two officers named Celliers and Lawrence. Celliers was very upper crust, punctual, guilt-annoyed whereas Lawrence was delicate, bilingual. Both are trying to explain the words and values of two cultures.

The scenes explain that the Japanese are Yonoi of fighter class, filled with magnificence and pride. Hara is a kind of Japanese Falstaff with a band of aggression. The most important thing in the movie is the scenes when both British and Japanese interact with each other. The movie best scenes are on the "The Bridge on the River Kwai." During the fighting, rules are made, broken and after that enforced strictly. When the enemies become weak, they often said they all are human but they are always in the search of ways to attack the opposite party. This is the interesting thing in the movie “Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence”.

Acting is difficult but this is not the topic of discussion, but both have good contrasting acting styles. The two men in the movie are trying to join in a touchy area and they perform as if they are not a part of this planet. The exaggeration in the Japanese acting destroyed the scene. It is odd that Japanese performing styles never worry me in all movies of Japanese. But this movie was pretty well but what this movie required was a diplomatic acting practice and coaching.
