Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Crowning Moment of Awesome: Celliers kissing Yonoi at the assembly.
  • Crowning Music of Awesome: The theme song, written by Sakamoto himself.
  • Nightmare Fuel: The scene with the Korean being forced to commit seppukku, followed by the Dutch soldier choking to death on part of his tongue which he has bitten off and swallowed. Way to ram home just whose side you're supposed to be on in this film.
  • Squick: Hara's description of the incident with the Dutch soldier and the Korean falls into this category.
  • The Woobie: Lawrence.
