| Beskrivelse: [ Dansk Engelsk ]
The Sand Pebbles fortæller mange historier. Det er historien om Kina. En sovende gigant der rejser sig selv til folkets jublen. Det er også historien om amerikanerne der bliver fanget i Kinas bratte opvågning. Det er historien om Frenchy (Peter Attenborough), en skibsmand ombord på U.S.S. San Pablo, som kidnapper sin kinesiske brud, fra auktionshuset. Mest af alt er det historien om Jake Holman (Steve McQueen), en sømand der har opgivet at finde fred med noget som helst, endda også sig selv. Beskrivelse: [ Dansk Engelsk ]
The Sand Pebbles tells many stories. It's the story of China, a slumbering giant that rouses itself to the cries of its people--and of the Americans who are caught in its blood awakening. It's the story of Frenchy (Richard Attenborough), a crewman on the U.S.S. San Pablo who kidnaps his Chinese bride from the auction block. It's the story of Shirley (Candice Bergen), a teacher and her first unforgettable taste of love. It's the story of Captain Collins (Richard Crenna), ready to defy anyone for his country's defence. Most of all, it's the story of Jake Holman (Steve McQueen), a sailor who has given up trying to make peace with anything--including himself. McQueen gives what is probably the best performance of his career. It's not surprising that he, Mako and the movie were up for Oscars. Portraying a character with conflicting loyalties to friend and flag, McQueen expertly conveys the confusion that leads into his final line: "What the hell happened?" It's to his credit that we already know. |
