Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence [1983] Official Trailer 

Rest in peace Maestro Sakamoto who passed away March 28, 2023. He lost his battle with Cancer but his music will live on forever.

This film and music has been in my life for nearly 40 years. It has been a quiet emotional and spiritual support in dark times. Such outstanding talents combining stunningly in a very moving and deeply evocative story. We lost Davis Bowie, and now Ryuichi Sakamoto. Blessings and rest in peace to both.. thank you so so much.

RIP, Ryuichi Sakamoto. Thank you for your music and your acting. You will be missed.

I'm still crying when I listen to this music and it comes to my mind how this movie affected me. A fundamental film, not for weak hearts.

This movie is always had a special place in my heart since I watched it at 17. David Bowie was an insanely talented and creative man. I think him and Ryuichi Sakamoto played off each other wonderfully. This will always be one of my favorite movies.

I just recalled this movie.....my brother always told we must see it and when it aired we were glued to the screen and it became a memorable movie both me and my late brother shared.

RIP Ryuichi , thank you for the incredible music.

RIP Sakamoto Ryuichi 😢

THIS MOVIE WAS MADE 39 YEARS AGO, BUT IT STILL HAS THE SAME EMOTIONAL ELEMENTS . ALL THESE YEARS LATER THE MUSIC REVERBETATES THROUGH YOU. AMAZING MOVIE

Huh. I came across the song in high school, immediately fell in love with it. Always thought it was just some obscure song dedicated to a beloved music teacher or something. Never realized it was a movie.

Still rips my heart to pieces after 38 yrs

A film witch made a great impression on me. RIP David RIP Ryuichi.

Thank you very much and rest in Peace Ryuichi Sakamoto San. Your musics have healed my soul.

Film is a masterpiece. You will cry. Not so long after WWII. barely 38 years. Japan never spoke about the war. Lived there 10 years. Half nations men dead ~ more ~ children ~ how primitive are we still.~ look at Syria ~ look at Lebanon ~ millions of lives lost ~ even the words in the song of "Forbiden Colors". ~ still happening ~ Nothing learned. ⚰️🗡️😭 ~

Always recognized the song but didn’t know about the movie. RIP Ryuichi

Merry Christmas Mr Sakamoto and may you rest in peace, your contribution to humanity will live forever.

Rest in peace Ryuichi Sakamoto 💔

Really a sad time to Lose great actors and a great composer like Ryuichi Sakamoto we first lost David Bowie now him , his scores on Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence and Last Emperor was an important part of my younger years especially with David Sylvian in Forbidden Colours, which is a song that i never grew tired of and always found it soothing but the best we can do is admire this masterpiece of a film and its music. Thank you for your passionate work Ryuichi Sakamoto-san

This is my favorite movie score….. it’s so hauntingly beautiful…. I could listen to it endlessly

RIP Mr. Sakamoto

For many years, I would watch this movie... His music was haunting and beautiful! Thank you for everything Ryuichi... May you R.I.P... You will be very missed 💚🙏💐

I’m crying watching this trailer 😭

Rest in peace, Sakamoto and Bowie, and all the others who came to pass and colour the world of humanity😢

"They were all honorable men, but oh what deeds could be done in the name of honor."

masterpiece, the most beautiful soundtrack I've ever heard Takeshi Kitano fantastic

A scathing criticism by a director of his own country’s history and culture. Not many people are willing do that. Especially in a country like Japan where the education system actively ignores atrocities and war crimes.

This movie was/is misunderstood by too many. The ethereal quality of the music mirrors the depth and complexity of the movie.

R.I.P Ryuichi Sakamoto

Merry Christmas Mr.Sakamoto

Ryuichi Sakamoto & David Sylvian made the best soundtrack ever

You have to watch the film within the context of Laurens van Der Post's book, "The Seed and the Sower" to fully understand the motion picture.

I’ve seen him play in São Paulo. It was a pleasure.

R. I. P. Mr. Sakamoto

Merry Christmas Mr. lawance love it seem this movie back in 1980

Safe travels, maestro Sakamoto

RIP sakamoto san.

I had all his music, I have to search for it. Even a raindrop was Beautiful. And this was the ultimate perfect song! 😢 R.I.P Sakamoto San 🕊🫶

The best movies ever❤️❤️ The BGM also make me wanna cried 💔

En tiempos de guerra y de tribulaciones, nuestros corazones son puesto a prueba, perdon, compasión hacia nuestros enemigos...Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence

Legendary BGM

Una gran película y una fantástica banda sonora.

RIP Mister Sakomoto

I first saw this movie Christmas week of 2021 and it is showing again overnight on Turner Classic Movies (TCM) channel 12.19.22

Ryuicky Sakamoto famous for the music of "The Last Emperor".

Ciertamente una gran película... Siendo adolescente la ví, me impacto, recuerdo que no duró mucho en cartelera, en la cd. dónde vivía, claro no era una película comercial ... Grande la actuación de todos los actores 👍 fan declarada de David Bowie 👏

I've heard people mention this music piece but didn't know it was a movie as well .. ironically they all sound familiar coz i always come across Ryuichi Sakamoto playlists on RU-vid .. Rip Sakamoto san

rest in peace sakamoto 🖤

Both are my fav person

RIP Captain Yonoi

RIP

Sayonara, Sakamoto-san, arigatou.

I feek this is Bowies David Lean/Attenborough phase. Great work and score

Forever young 🔥

RIP 🙏

Forbidden Colors, the title theme song is the most enduring aspect of this film. The movie was good. David Bowie played his role well.

When he was 36years old.

This is what I dream a dream is about. And all the more she is

R.I.P...

rip sakamoto

He's gone. RIP

David Sylvan brought me here

I have the feeling Rob Hubbard has seen this movie. :)

I, uh... got here because sgt frog referenced this in one of the Xmas episodes...

Back when trailers were pretty much the whole damn movie.

I know about Mr Sakamoto, the OST but never watch the movie. I will.

What in the name of, Satan's portions? The entire movie condensed into 3:13 minutes! They don't make adverts like that anymore. Thank fook!

Based on a novel by Sir Laurence van der Post? The South African novelist???

This was in road runner the Anthony Bourdain documentary
