One more for Bowie but also for us in general.
Many years ago, I saw a movie: Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence. It is WWII fiction but it would be an understatement to say it is brilliant.
It is about an allied officer who spent time in pre-WWII Japan and now, while a POW, faces the reality of Japanese military barbarism.
David Bowie plays his role so very well. But then so does everyone.
Odd, I have only seen this movie once. It was by mistake I think.
While in the UK I woke up to the TV left on. What woke me up was the theme song to the beginning of the movie. Just now, I had not heard it since then.
And right at the 1 minute, 2 second mark, it became a dominating memory. Go ahead listen to the theme song.
Then watch the movie.
When you listen to the theme song again, after watching the movie, you will be amazed.
Enjoy this clip.
