I remember being pretty disappointed in it when it came out. It seemed kind of slow and plodding to me. I don't even think I stayed awake through the whole thing. But I'm wondering if a re-watch now would yield the same results. Tastes change with age.

Anybody seen it fairly recently? If so, what do you think?

I love the Suo Gan scene where he sings saluting the pilots. It's definitely a high quality movie.

It's one of Mrs. Baloo's very favorite movies. I still think it might be Christian Bale's best film not called the Prestige.

Loved it. One of the most underrated films of 1987.

I always get this film title confused with Men Behind the Sun...every time I see threads on this one I get excited but then com back to earth when I realize it's not the same movie I'm thinking of.

I was all excited because I thought this was about the Bruce Willis movie Tears of the Sun, but now I want to watch this other movie.
