Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence for me is the best movie of 1983. Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence set a new standard for modern movie making. Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence stands out above all other films I've seen at least for last 5 years. Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence has one of the highest ranks in IMDB top movies. Film with best plot ever, best directing and really good chosen actors. Skills of actors are just unimaginable, especially David Bowie's play. Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence has many original details and specifics that I really cannot get out of my head since watching it. It just set the new standard for Drama movies. You just have to see it.

The story takes place on a film set in Java at a Japanese POW camp in 1942. It is about a complex relationship between a rebellious prisoner, David Bowie and camp commandant Ryuichi Sakomoto who is obsessed by Bowie's attitude.
