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.
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.
IVE ALWAYS ADMIRED JAPANESE CULTURE AND THE PEOPLE. THIS MOVIE WAS VERY WELL MADE AND THE IDEA OF CULTURE CLASH IS MORE THAN REALISTIC. I DIDNT KNOW ANY OF THIS BEFORE. UNLESS YOU WERE IN THE PRISONERS SHOES NO ONE ELSE KNEWEITHER.
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.
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 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
I turned 40 in January. I am a huge BTS fan (Army), and it was through Yoongi a.k.a Suga of BTS that I learned anout Ryuichi Sakamoto! Now I am curious to know what this movie is about. 😢
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. ⚰️🗡️😭 ~
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 💚🙏💐
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.
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.
Yes, because the West certainly has made up for its crimes, Dresden, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Vietnam, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan ++++ to name a few. Mankind will never move one inch forward as longs as it doesn’t move past hypocrisy and unprincipled moral judgement. And as we can observe it doesn’t.
En tiempos de guerra y de tribulaciones, nuestros corazones son puesto a prueba, perdon, compasión hacia nuestros enemigos...Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence
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 👏

@@melodefidler2084 Why are you shouting?
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.
My Gramdpa had a pacemaker and loved this film so...
One of my top 5 movies! Many people don't even get this film.
It is time to remember it once again.
@@deadvodka Yes...
RIP Ryuichi , thank you for the incredible music.

Still rips my heart to pieces after 38 yrs

How old are you now?

Merry Christmas Mr Sakamoto and may you rest in peace, your contribution to humanity will live forever.
A film witch made a great impression on me.
RIP David RIP Ryuichi.

People can't change, we are doomed to repeat history forever, until we wipe ourselves into extinction.
A fitting end to an imperfect species.
RIP Sakamoto Ryuichi 😢
This movie was/is misunderstood by too many. The ethereal quality of the music mirrors the depth and complexity of the movie.
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 💚🙏💐
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.
Saw this a long time ago in the 80s. Stuck in my mind. Amazing performances, and a truly beautiful score.
Rest in peace Ryuichi Sakamoto 💔
masterpiece, the most beautiful soundtrack I've ever heard Takeshi Kitano fantastic
Always recognized the song but didn’t know about the movie. RIP Ryuichi
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😢
RIP Mr. Sakamoto
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.
(´･ω･｀)
sounds like the country i live in.
That melody is very touching and moving for whatever reason. It has a sad feel about it but also beautiful. I never heard of the movie.
Yes The Germans acknowledged their past ., The Japanese have national amnesia
Yes, because the West certainly has made up for its crimes, Dresden, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Vietnam, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan ++++ to name a few. Mankind will never move one inch forward as longs as it doesn’t move past hypocrisy and unprincipled moral judgement. And as we can observe it doesn’t.
Tragic that the Japanese were never held accountable for war crimes. Not just against P.O.W's but for atrocities against the Chinese.
Merry Christmas Mr.Sakamoto
It's a very good film. Flawed, but very good, and Bowie & Sakamoto give excellent portrayals.
"They were all honorable men, but oh what deeds could be done in the name of honor."
gave me chills
En tiempos de guerra y de tribulaciones, nuestros corazones son puesto a prueba, perdon, compasión hacia nuestros enemigos...Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence
Merry Christmas Mr. lawance love it seem this movie back in 1980
Una gran película y una fantástica banda sonora.
Me encanta ese tema 😃 de fondo
perfect japan song
I’ve seen him play in São Paulo. It was a pleasure.
Ryuichi Sakamoto & David Sylvian made the best soundtrack ever
RIP Ryuchi Sakamoto
R.I.P Ryuichi Sakamoto
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 🕊🫶
Safe travels, maestro Sakamoto
R. I. P. Mr. Sakamoto
RIP sakamoto san.
Rip David and Maestro
The best movies ever❤️❤️
The BGM also make me wanna cried 💔
I first saw this movie Christmas week of 2021 and it is showing again overnight on Turner Classic Movies (TCM) channel 12.19.22
“Why will you not fight me? If you defeat me you will be free.” Those words by Yanoi will always send a certain feeling to my soul and heart.
Legendary BGM
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 ...

Rip Sakamoto san
RIP Captain Yonoi
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.
Sayonara, Sakamoto-san, arigatou.
Ryuicky Sakamoto famous for the music of "The Last Emperor".
Both are my fav person
Necesito ver nuevamente esta película 😢
... I had NO idea that David Bowie was an actor?!!
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.
I won't fight u _ I love u.
rip sakamoto
I feek this is Bowies David Lean/Attenborough phase. Great work and score
He's gone. RIP
This is what I dream a dream is about. And all the more she is
When he was 36years old.
RIP
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!
Back when trailers were pretty much the whole damn movie.
This is yoongi's favourite documentry..he always plays this on piano
Forever young 🔥
R.I.P...
Peace 😢
Once_ I won't be back.

@@arthurwang9356actors typically try to make things believable. That’s kinda the point
This trailer does not do the film justice.
とてもかわいいアニメ
