    [3.5/5.0] This film has been instilling the concept that Jiang Kaixue is the savior of the powerful people, only the final offensive and defensive battle is...

    Too interesting, the kind that is worth writing a paper. . . There is a sense of emptiness like the teacher of the dead, if you compare it with a recent...

    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 reason why the score is so low, I think, is that most people don’t even know what the film is expressing. The nihilism and cynicism of party politics and nation-states have completely transcended the ideological background of the Cold War. The bloody exposure of the struggle for separatism within the nation-state through the outer shell is probably the internal cause of the film's real despair. After spending several years in such a wild land, it’s no wonder that even the captain doesn’t...

    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...

    If I say, cover your face and cry when you see the middle, is it a bit 13

    This is a Chinese translation. I borrowed randomly from the community library. Still rely on English subtitles.
    The movie lasts 2 hours and 55 minutes. There is still a break in between. Watching the first half of the episode, the heartache is unbearable. Burst into tears.

    Review of the Sand Pebbles

    An American friend recommended me to watch this film, and there is also the painted veil. This is the reply after watching:

    Dear Jim,

    Thank you for the movies you lent me. Both are great
    movies. But if I were American, I would enjoy it more
    because these movies are very American in the way
    heroes...

The Sand Pebbles quotes

  • Frenchy Burgoyne: [exchanging marriage vows; slowly and with feeling] We're mixing our lives together, Maily, and we'll never be able to unmix them again, and we'll never want to. I take you for what you are, and all that you are, and mix you with all of me, and I don't hold back nothing. When you're cold, and hungry, and afraid, so am I. I'm going to stay with you all that I can, take the best care of you that I can, and love you 'til I die.

    Maily: I will always love you and honor you and serve you, and stay as near to you as I can, and do everything for you, and live for you. I won't have *any* life except our life together. I will just love you, Frenchy, all of me, loving you forever.

  • Captain Collins: Pray for an early spring... or permission to open fire.
