If you loved Hope and Glory, try Hell in the Pacific
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by John Boorman, and they sit in Drama / War territory. If that's the register that drew you to Hope and Glory, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Hell in the Pacific is
You bail out over the Pacific in 1944 only to wash up on the same scrap of sand as a Japanese captain. Then the rain starts and neither of you speaks the other’s language. Boorman’s camera lets the silence on that island echo long past the war.
