RE: Sand Pebbles -- one of the most bittersweet tales on film. It had it all.

Posted by free.ranger on November 23, 2013 at 14:49:18:
McQueen was perfect for the role and in it, but the film was a total package, much more than him.
It was a melodrama wrapped in a historical period piece.

I think anyone who was ever in the navy or other service, on overseas assignments, knows the melancholy demonstrated in the Pebbles. People out of place, trying to pull the odd different pieces together and call it life, even the Chinese themselves. Sad stuff throughout all of the dynamics and violence.

Thanks for the callout on this one. One of my all time favorites.
