The Sand Pebbles telIs many stories. It's the story of China, a slumbering giant that rouses itself 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. It's the story of ShirIey , a teacher and her first unforgettable taste of love. lt's the story of Captain ColIins , ready to defy anyone for his country's defense. Most of all, it's the story of Jake HoIman , a saiIor who has given up trying to make peace with anything - incIuding 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 conflicting Ioyalties to friend and flag, McQueen expertly conveys the confusion that Ieads into his finaI Iine: "What the hell happened?" lt's to his credit that we aIready know. |
