Qing qian la mian cha (2018)
A minor classic
I began watching this to take up time recovering from minor illnes. But gradually came to realise I n was watching something special.
The movie examines the misery brought on others through meaness and attitudes brought on by wartime outcomes.
I am not explaining the underlying themes very well. I need to digest this movie intellectually. Watch it. I hope it moves you like it did, me.

Against the Wind (1948)
Great, Gritty war film
Simone Signoret shines as does James Robertson Justice. In fact JRJ I have been impressed by JRJ often yet his acting is rarely praised.
A modern film about the SOE would be welcome.
An Officer and a Murderer (2012)
This movie works without American self-righteous stances or clumsy mawkishness
The lead actors carry this movie well, all avoiding over-acting. Cole and Sutherland deliver excellent performances with Laura not too far behind. Harris is handicapped by her stunning scandi looks. She needs to allow a persona which overcomes her looks.
Good script which allows the story to evolve simply. No gun battles, no unneeded nudity and ne explosions. Just a story based on truth, told well.
We are not told if Harria has a love interest, a n d frankly don't care. The bit where one of the earlier cases involved a dildo is handled in a straightforward, non purient manNER.
