Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence - The Relationship With Authority

[@YouHaveBeenWatchingFilms]

How do you feel about Nagisa Ôshima's Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence? Which other films do you feel portray interesting relationships between prisoner and authority? At the end of the video essay is a choice between two actual Christmas films, which would you like to see uploaded next? Thank you for watching!

Another interesting thing is that Hara learned english at the end and said merry christmas in english

Great analysis. This was my first Criterion purchase.

[@YouHaveBeenWatchingFilms]

Thank you so much! That's such a great choice too for your first Criterion! I remember buying it blindly on DVD at 15 just because it had David Bowie in it, but the film sits very fondly in my heart. Thank you for watching!

Just finished watching this remarkable film, I’m going to have to find a subtitled version so I know what they’re saying next time

what song plaulyeeed the first 14 seconds of the video

[@YouHaveBeenWatchingFilms]

All the music in the videos is my own, although the original audio for this video might be lost now as it's an older video I edited on an older laptop I no longer have 😓 However I do have more of my channel's music available via spotify, KZbin, Apple music, etc if you search my name Olivia Bagshaw - hope this helps! :)
