message: :Image:Merrychiristmas,Mr.lawrence.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

message: I think it would be worth a separate page, or at least a sizable section of this page, for information regarding the song and the various forms it's taken - including being used in the game Shenmue, as well as sampled for Ai's version which goes by the same name.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.190.112.34 (talk) 14:01, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The title score is definitely a popular song; it also is remixed in Machinae Supremacy's "Sidology 2 - Trinity" near the end.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.152.239.163 (talk) 23:29, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

message: It seems to me the last paragraph of the plot is confused, and perhaps wrong. I've never seen the movie, but what the last paragraph says doesn't seem to make sense. It should probably be re-written to make it more clear. 71.36.64.51 (talk) 02:30, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

message: There are four possible film titles here:
#Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence
#Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence
#Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence
#Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence
North America puts a period (full stop) after Mr. but the UK does not, and this is a British film.
So options 3 and 4 seem likeliest.
Did they do a special opening credits sequence just so we North Americans could have our precious punctuation? I doubt it.
Is there a comma or not?

replies: text: It's Option 2, but with a newline: "Merry Christmas [nl] Mr. Lawrence". This could be rendered as a comma in regular text. --78.42.235.84 (talk) 21:42, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

message: The article states Celliers was from New Zealand, with one source backing it up. But checking the source, it appears it was just the casual opinion of the reviewer. I can't find any other source confirming it, the film didn't present the character as anything different from British Army, Bowie didn't attempt an accent, the flashback from his childhood doesn't seem to be set in New Zealand, and I found mentioned that the military hat he wears should be Australian, but it was wore by UK troops as well. I believe the linked reviewer's idea that he was from New Zealand might have stemmed from the fact that the film was filmed there. Otherwise, I'd like confirmation from a second source.
