Hell in the Pacific (DVD, 2004)

Über dieses Produkt

Product Information

Director John Boorman's typical bravado is somewhat muted in this WWII parable. Set in the Pacific in 1944, the film focuses on two combatants stranded on the same barren atoll: a Japanese naval officer (Toshirô Mifune) and a U.S. marine pilot (Lee Marvin). At first the two men warily stalk each other, both revealing something by refusing to kill the other when the opportunity arises. At length the Japanese officer captures and harnesses the American, who ultimately escapes, returns, and ties up his opponent. The American finally releases his prisoner as both men grasp the pointlessness of their behavior, and a tacit truce develops between them, since neither can understand the other's language. After some scenes of mutually incomprehensible yelling and a bit of water torture, the Japanese man begins building a raft. The American's initial derision is replaced by an awareness that his cooperation would likely speed their departure and increase their odds of survival. In what is virtually a silent film, Boorman invokes his recurring "man against nature" theme, here reconfigured as a plea for human solidarity. Marvin is excellent, while Mifune is a virtuoso of the kind of physical acting the film requires, and Conrad Hall's camerawork does justice to the spectacular beauty of the Micronesian islands.

Unique summary of the relationship of two enemies. A survival film. Does not give away the story.
One of the better war films using two of the top actors of the time from Japan and America. A survival film but has a weak ending though one of many options of how the movie could have ended. In someway, the film was under rated at the time.. Helps to know both English and Japanese to fully understand the entire film. Some of its humor was lost because viewer did not understand both English and Japanese, but makes for a more realistic situation. Two thumbs up..

Interesting movie
I was learning how to run projectors when I ran this movie back in the 70's. Only two actors in the whole project portraying two enemy combatants at each other's throats but then find momentary peace. Marvin in real life, served as a Marine on Saipan during WWII, being shot twice and awarded the Purple Heart. For this project he brings to the screen personal battle experience which other actors could only attempt to create.
