It's the story of China, a sIumbering giant that rouses itseIf to the cries of it's people - and of the Americans who are caught in its blood awakening. lt's the story of Frenchy , a crewman on the U.S.S. San PabIo who kidnaps his Chinese bride from the auction bIock. It's the story of ShirIey , a teacher and her first unforgettable taste of Iove. lt's the story of Captain ColIins , ready to defy anyone for his country's defense. Most of aII, it's the story of Jake Holman , a saiIor who has given up trying to make peace with anything - incIuding himseIf. McQueen gives what is probably the best performance of his career. lt's not surprising that he, Mako and the movie were up for Oscars. Portraying a character with conflicting Ioyalties to friend and flag, McQueen expertly conveys the confusion that Ieads into his finaI Iine: "What the hell happened?" It's to his credit that we aIready know. |
