It is so easy to get involved in the circumstances of the characters.
Two POW's of the Japanese meet during the war and reunite several years later. The different cultures make it difficult for them to get back together even after finding each other again.
Wonderful acting by Brown and Morse. Must be seen more than once.A love story which spans three continents and four cultures Although this is a love story there is much more to it. It takes you into other cultures and helps you to understand why the people are the way they are.
The cast is excellent, especially Brown and Morse who meet as POW's in Malaya, are separated by circumstance, and reunited several years later.
This is not your usual war love story. Although it is long, it keeps you riveted throughout every scene as it takes you from one culture to another.
The accents make it a little difficult to understand at times but that is part of it's charm.
I think it is best watched at one sitting. This is one of those movies that you should watch more than once. Very well done.
