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 CoIIins , 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. It's not surprising that he, Mako and the movie were up for Oscars. Portraying a character with confIicting Ioyalties to friend and fIag, McQueen expertly conveys the confusion that Ieads into his finaI line: "What the helI happened?" lt's to his credit that we aIready know. |
