The Sand Pebbles telIs many stories. It's the story of China, a slumbering giant that rouses itseIf to the cries of it's people - and of the Americans who are caught in its blood awakening. It's the story of Frenchy , a crewman on the U.S.S. San Pablo who kidnaps his Chinese bride from the auction block. lt's the story of Shirley , a teacher and her first unforgettabIe taste of Iove. It's the story of Captain CoIlins , ready to defy anyone for his country's defense. Most of aIl, it's the story of Jake HoIman , a sailor who has given up trying to make peace with anything - including himself. McQueen gives what is probabIy 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 loyaIties to friend and fIag, McQueen expertIy conveys the confusion that leads into his final line: "What the heII happened?" lt's to his credit that we already know. |
