More than a map, a wild ride, get on board., 4 January 2001
9/10
Author: jack_94706

This movie came highly recommended to me; but outstripped all expectations. Outstanding acting, especially from the little boy Eskimo, then from Jason, as the adult character/pilot for the RAF. Absolutely beautiful cinematography; a story that kicks the heart strings in many ways -- kicks and tickles, too, a few times. How about making love on top of a blimp/buzz-bomb decoy? Tastefully done, naturally; but gives you the idea of the style and flavor of this love/war/human condition gem. Lots of wild aerial stuff, all through, nicely woven throughout the tale. Might want to bring your parachute to the theatre... Oh, did I mention a vertiginous scene inside high up in the Albert Hall, a tryst? Snowmobiles and French beauties, etc. Formidable. Like the fire at the end of "Gone with the Wind?" Might want to see the flames in this one, too.
