Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence

"Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence" (1983) Jack Celliers (David Bowie) arrives at a Japanese prison during WWII. The camp commandant, Yonoi (Ryuichi Sakomoto) is steeped in Japanese tradition of honor and glory. He considers those prisoners who surrendered rather than committing suicide or fighting to the death as cowards. When on prisoner, Lt Colonel John Lawrence (Tim Conti) tries to explain the Japanese way of life he is labeled a traitor. Yonio becomes fascinated with the defiant Celliers and develops an obsession that can only be described as homosexual like. Near the climax the allies approach the prison and the prisoners line up outside the barracks. Celliers leaves the line and walks toward Yonoi in a surprising and somewhat comical climax.
