Review of Dark Blue World (2001) by Jonathon C — 30 Jul 2009
This film tells the story of a small band of ex-patriot Czech pilots that during the opening stages of WW2 escape to Britain where they offer their flying skills to the Royal Air Force.
From this point we have a rather unfortunate love (adultery) story, peppered with excellent but brief aerial dog-fight scenes between the venerable Supermarine Spitfire and the various aircraft of the German Luftwaffe.
The dialogue of the characters, while entertaining in places, did lack maturity for the most part which took away from the gravity of the story, and the grasp of the weight of duty that was upon the shoulders of these heroic men.
The film was worth a look; rather like a quaint antique shop in a small country town- there may be some little trinkets to the story that give unexpected delight and interest, but perhaps you may pass through without making a purchase.
