No actor could have played Sergeant Hara better than Takeshi. His last smile had much.
@MidnightPlus1Ай бұрын
It's still crazy to think that this was his first serious role in a film, and he did it so well. I'm a big fan of Takeshi's films in general, but this film is his best performance.

Takeshi Kitano's performance in this movie should have won an Oscar.....
Ryuichi Sakamoto passed away on March 28, 2023. However, this song he left behind sowed seeds in people's hearts and will remain in their memories forever. God bless.
The most touching last part of the beautiful film, heartbreaking 😢

It shows how futile war is. Animals in the wild kill for food. Humans kill each other for fun (or stupid ideas). We as humans, DO NOT NEED TO KILL ANYONE. But we are supposed to have the ultimate intelligence, and yet we continue to kill each other regardless.
Still reduces me to tears...amazing film, cast and music

First time I hear Takeshi speak English. I love his films and I've known about this film and the book it comes from for ages but have only seen scenes from it. It's one of those films I need to watch at least once. Music is beautiful as well.

@mac651000 Yes, this is very true. We get brainwashed into thinking what is right, and what is wrong. So what is the yardstick, or benchmark to which our beliefs stand? I would suggest, piece, tolerance, and respect to others. Judge not, that you be not judged. Nina.

You can break down the scene with one quote: „Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I'll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about. Ideas, language, even the phrase each other doesn't make any sense.“ -Rumi

I often feel empty, going through the motions in life out of a sense of necessity and hope, even when the hope is distant and despair seems closer. Then suddenly great works of art, or clear glimpses of the real value in life, become too bittersweet to avoid tears. Why are we sleeping? It feels like a switch has been flicked at times. Maybe to experience the full blown reality of life is too much for anyone to bear. Perhaps such intensity can only be experienced in brief moments.

よくこんな映像撮れたよな。また、アフレコも音楽もバッチリ。これは、大島渚監督が西洋で十分な名声を得ていたことが基本(青春残酷物語とかね)。そして、このシナリオに大島監督本人が, 多くの困難が予想されるのにやる気満々だった。オファーを受けたDavidは、もともとが大島監督の描く世界観に惹かれていたのもあったが、このシナリオのテーマ性に「絶対出演したい」って、この映画を最優先にスケジュールを組んでくれた。それが何故かはわからぬ。 Davidは撮影期間中いつでも(例え日本人俳優とスタッフばかりでも)集団があればそこに顔を出して、日本人スタッフがヘタクソな英語で話しかけてもわかる限り応えて、自分もおどけた仕草をして常に周囲を盛り上げたそうだ。 そんなDavidに大島監督も全幅の信頼を寄せた。だから、こういうとても良い映像が撮れたのだと思う。誰しも(この映画は良いものにしたい!)って活き生きしてる、と感じるのはオレだけか? 想像だが、どこかでDavidと大島監督はOne on One(サシ)で話し合ったと思う。そして、それがこの映像作品に仕上がって、二人とも「こんな汚い世界で俺たちはやったぜ!」っていう心境だったのだろうと想像する。

An excellent ending to an already excellent film. My particular favourite part about this ending is that Hara says "Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence" unlike the first time, where he just said "Merry Christmas, Lawrence." There's a mutual respect between both Hara and Lawrence, even if it's in Hara's final moments, forged after everything that happened. There's something just so beautiful about it, I love it so much. Much like the entire film.

He has already accepted that Japan lost the war and he himself will face the death penalty. It's a scene that truly reflects the spirit of a warrior. Furthermore, Lawrence himself also performed the uniquely Japanese bow of respect.

This would have to be Kitano Takeshi's greatest scene in any film he has appeared in. After Sakamoto Ryuichi's death Kitano Takeshi said that he thinks he is just about the last one left from that film. Brilliant film as it opens the door into the Japanese mind and their belief of Shintoism.

Most of the Japanese main cast have indeed passed. The actor who played Lt. Ito is still alive. As for the rest of the main cast, Tom Conti is still alive, he was in Oppenheimer this year as Albert Einstein. Jack Thompson (Hicksley)is alive as well. Allister Browning (De Jong) passed in 2019. I agree that Kitano was fantastic in this. He really proved himself as an actor.
