  I saw MERRY CHRISTMAS, MR. LAWRENCE when I was 16. I was interested because of Bowie being the "star", but it was Tom Conti and Takeshi Kitano's movie. I guess I was ready for a movie that dealt with homophobia, cultural interaction, and enduring humanity in a WWII Japanese POW camp.

  Still thinking about Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence. I've never seen someone aura farm as hard as David Bowie does in that movie. Any time he's onscreen, Ryuichi Sakamoto's score kicks in, giving the impression that he's going to evolve into his final form right in the middle of the POW camp

  "When working in film scoring, the piano often became a central element to [Ryuichi Sakamoto's] work, and there is no clearer example of this than the extraordinarily haunting theme from 'Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence'."
