The clash of cultures
Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence is in many ways - also as a concept - very strong commentary about the clash of cultures. Directed by a Japanese director, but shown from a British perspective, and starring by two of both world's biggest music stars, the setup itself is intriguing. This film is shot in a nice and slow pace, beautiful scenes and well acted, and gives a very good and important view on the war: nobody is ever right.
