See the big from the small, transparent. Disillusionment again and again, in the end, it was all useless (rescue Louis Malle's later wife is probably a commercial consideration) I don't know who added Sammo Hung to the cast list, but I didn't see it at all, nor on...

The sea battle scenes and endings are excellent. The director focuses more on literary drama, starting from the perspective of Holman, through this unflattering middleman, and exploring the impact of war on places and people from a cultural perspective. The love line is weak and overall a bit...

The Chinese in the eyes of older foreigners can make people uncomfortable. The highlight is how American films in the 1960s reproduced Shanghai in the 1920s, because they were shot in Keelung and Hong Kong, and the sets were still in place. I felt a kind of documentary, which was relatively...

Captain Collins: [Observing, from the bridge of the USS "San Pablo," as Mr. Jameson heads out on a Chinese junk on his way back upriver to his mission at China Light] The next incident, they could just as well turn on him and kill him.
Ensign Bordelles: Well, at least he's off our necks, sir.
Captain Collins: Our primary mission is still to defend American lives - even if they are damned fools.
