    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.

    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. ⚰️🗡️😭 ~

    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

    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.
