Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence (1983)
Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence
There are some films in which you have all the time a weird sensation. This is one of those ones. Apart from the magnificent cast and relevant roles, I believe the director got this atmosphere thanks to the soundtrack of the film. The music you are able to hear all along the movie gives you the exact mood to internalize the action. I have the impression that the scenes were shot having in mind the musical background. That is why music is so important in films. As a matter of fact, I cannot forget the line "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence", in Japanese accent, by one of the prison guards, listening the film main musical theme behind.
Enter the Dragon (1973)
The best martial arts film I have ever seen
Thirty years later I would like to say that I remember this film as one of the greatest films I have ever seen in my life. I do not know exactly why, but it is, maybe, because the music we listen on it has been always with me in the last 25 years or so. Bruce Lee was an icon, I also remember the Green Hornet TV show, and the extraordinary combination of sound and images in this film allow us to dream about to be a hero or something like that. I have seen the film many times and each one was almost different than the other one, this is one of those films in which you can notice different things every time you see it again, even if you are not an expert in martial arts as if it is the case about me. Thanks Bruce, where ever you are, for your incredible style.
