Problem?

Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence

David Bowie talks about his role in one of the most strangely compelling and brilliant films I have ever seen. The treatment of pow's by the japanese during ww2 has been the greatest source of ill feeling between britain and japan. A group of british veterans once turned their backs on the japanese prime minister during a diplomatic visit.

I think one of the reasons Americans and British do not trust the Japanese even today is because we harbor the suspicion that they have not changed all that much. Whether that is true or not? I couldn`t say.

Hey, you guys should check out `Moon` by Bowie`s son.
