Review of The Sand Pebbles (1966) by Hatsuhito S — 12 Jun 2011

This movie goes from ok, to good, to great, to ohmyfuckinggod. Truly a movie that does justice to the word "epic"; it builds upon itself so well. I love Steve McQueen. He was, is, and ever shall be, one of my heroes, and this film solidifies that statement.

So glad he got the Oscar nom for it, but apparently Paul Scofield was better in A Man For All Seasons. The story may start out a little slow, but just give it time, it really develops well. This is the director of The Sound Of Music, so you know he has talent.

So yea, not much else to say...great old flick!
