2025-12-07 All dayMerry Christmas Mr. Lawrence (1983)* is set in a Japanese POW camp on Java in 1942 during World War II. The film explores the clash of cultures and moral codes between British/Allied prisoners and their Japanese captors under the imperial ideology of Bushido and unconditional loyalty to the Emperor. The Japanese officers, led by the traditionalist Captain Yonoi and the more pragmatic Sergeant Hara, view surrender as the ultimate dishonor and treat prisoners harshly, yet are themselves trapped by rigid military honor that forbids mercy or personal emotion.
The British prisoners, represented by the defiant Colonel Lawrence and the spiritually scarred Major Celliers, embody a Western individualism that baffles the Japanese command. Beneath the surface, the film critiques both Japanese militarism (which demanded suicidal obedience) and the hypocrisy of colonial empires that condemned Japanese brutality while ignoring their own.
The political heart of the story lies in the fatal incompatibility of two imperial systems during total war, where neither side can truly understand or forgive the other. It offers some modest insight into why Americans eschew getting involved in the wars of other nations.
David Bowie played Major Jack "Strafer" Celliers, a charismatic, haunted British (New Zealand in the original novel) officer captured by the Japanese in 1942.Celliers is the enigmatic newcomer to the POW camp whose defiance, moral courage, and almost mystical aura deeply affect both the prisoners and Captain Yonoi (Ryuichi Sakamoto), who becomes quietly obsessed with him. His backstory—revealed in a powerful flashback—involves betraying his younger brother to avoid bullying at boarding school, a guilt he carries for the rest of his life and ultimately redeems through a sacrificial act in the camp. Bowie’s performance is widely regarded as one of his finest on screen¥* Several trailers claim to the "Official" trailer. History is not about what happened. History is a story about what happened.

2026-06-13 All dayFlag Day in the United States, observed on June 14th, commemorates the adoption of the American flag by the Second Continental Congress in 1777. It's a day to honor the symbol of the nation's unity, freedom, and democracy. The flag represents the ideals and principles upon which the country was founded, including liberty, justice, and equality.
On Flag Day, Americans typically display the flag at their homes and businesses, participate in patriotic ceremonies, and reflect on the significance of the flag in American history and culture. It's also a time to remember the sacrifices made by those who have served and continue to serve in defense of the nation. Flag Day serves as a reminder of the values that bind Americans together as one nation, under the banner of the stars and stripes.
A beautiful Flag Day here in mid-Michigan. pic.twitter.com/fFruGjE8IK
