In 1942, when World War II was in full swing, Japan was invincible and invincible in all battlefields in Asia. A Japanese prisoner-of-war detention center stands in the tropical jungle of Java, where army lieutenant Ishimoto (Sakamoto Takeshi) and staff Sergeant Ohara (Takeshi Kitano) jointly manage the detention center. Ohara's style is rude and ruthless. He never shows mercy to prisoners of war in Europe and the United States, but is even more cruel to those with homosexual tendencies. By contrast, the handsome Yoshino appears to be much more gentlemanly. Jack Shaozuo (David Bowie) of the British Army is handsome and handsome. His first appearance changed the ambition of the world. In the same-sex prisoner-of-war camps, how much emotion can't help it. In the days that followed, the two hovered between family and national resentment and personal feelings, wrestling hard and cruelly in each other's hearts. The film is based on a novel by the Englishman Lawrence Buster, and won the Best Picture Award in 1984, Best Director, Best Picture, Best score, Best Screenplay and Best supporting Actor (Takeshi Kitano) in 1984.
