Blu-ray The Sand Pebbles

"The Sand Pebbles" tells many stories. It´s the story of China, a slumbering giant that rouses itself to the cries of it´s people - and of the Americans who are caught in its blood awakening. It´s the story of Frenchy (Richard Attenborough), a crewman on the U.S.S. San Pablo who kidnaps his Chinese bride from the auction block. It´s the story of Shirley (Candice Bergen), a teacher and her first unforgettable taste of love. It´s the story of Captain Collins (Richard Crenna), ready to defy anyone for his country´s defense. Most of all, it´s the story of Jake Holman (Steve McQueen), a sailor who has given up trying to make peace with anything - including himself. McQueen gives what is probably the best performance of his career. It´s not surprising that he, Mako and the movie were up for Oscars. Portraying a character with conflicting loyalties to friend and flag, McQueen expertly conveys the confusion that leads into his final line: "What the hell happened?" It´s to his credit that we already know.
