Great movie❤ Love from Malay neighbour, Indonesia????????
Pudu jail in memory and history
When I was a child in England in the late forties and early fifties I was quite old before I met my father because he was an R.A.F. wireless operator in Malaya helping to prevent the communists from taking over!
Never saw this one and man what a great film, and even as a historical British & Malaysian war film it has alot going for it, excellent movie !!!
I lived 5 years in Kl it’s a pity they even closed the air museum no history no remembrance of any of that . Happy to watch this
At last , real actors . Imagine Will Smith in this..????????????????????
Hollywood's unending efforts to legitimize the communist disease of authoritarian elite uniparty double standards are so tiresome.
A good film that has a message of people living together and being loyal to each other is more important than any ideology.
Who are the rightful owners? The Chinese immigrants ? Some of whom had been in Malaya generations ? The Tamil immigrants who also lived , in some cases, for a few generations there? Or the Malays? Or the planters and mine owners, mostly British, who had lived in Malaya for thirty years? Would Malaya have been better off remaining an autonomous British colony for longer? It was better off not falling for a communist revolution. The British gifted that to Malaya, for sure.
A kampong of old.
Capuchine and William Holden were my Mom and Dad's Favorites. They both talked about this film to no end and were very sad of the ending. After 60-years, l get to watch this film today..July 2023..on Utube ☹️ I felt l was watching it with My Mom and Dad..who are both gone now ????
I watched
An excellent book on the Malaya Incursions is “ The War Of The Running Dogs” by Noel Barber. It covers this period in detail, and the harsh realities of how the communists tried to control the Malay people.
Eurasian women are ding how!!!
You know why most African an Asians like RF.Because in Cold War Soviet Union supported liberation movements. Facts
You gotta hand it to the Japanese soldiers. They took their executions very stoically.
I wasn't aware helicopters were employed by the British during WWII. I knew the Germans used them to rescue downed fighter pilots behind Soviet lines.
Kominis….bintang tiga…ketua dia Cheng Ping
Filmed March 1963, Malaysia. A great film I somehow hadn't seen before! Susannah York at 24 but Bill picked Capucine for the on set affair. Also he had an alcohol relapse on set..Spoiler: I thought the ending sucked. Capucine dies for nothing, Bill rejected Susannah in favor of a dead woman, and wishes good luck to the man who killed her. WTF
good
This was exactly the same fight , in the same part of the world and at the same time , as Vietnams bid for independence with very different outcomes . One difference was Britain could see independence was inevitable. Pity France and America could not and wasted nearly two hundred thousand young lives , not counting the Vietnamese. Another difference was the British Army defeated the communists in jungle warfare as they in fact did in Vietnam in 45 before the French took over the country and released the communists from prison..
ow many films in which the British were shown as liberators of peoples! an excuse for colonialism, this film – thin and improbable – the supermodel Capucine in the role of a commoner-revolutionary. (to die laughing – at least 35 years old who plays the part of a minor, an English official in one piece that must help millions of fools to get a government (!!) and the somewhat mature, play boy heartthrob adventurer. what a damn movie!
How utterly depressing.
What a load of crap . 1000 years of being a colony of England has shown us that there is nothing as twisted and evil as the English and nothing as brave and sad as the Russian . The word slave is even derived from the word Slav ,
It's pathetic how the movie justified the British colonialism and demonized the native resistance against the occupation of their land …. Technically it is not bad but polirically it is a disgrace . Period
58:28 set rumah² melayu dibakar besar-besaran…sayang pulak rasanya
Well, I was expecting to see a Malayan tiger or 2 in the jungles. But I guess leeches would do.
at 40;17……the guy in white handing something to another guy was later to become a well known Malaysian actor by the name of Hussein Abu Hassan (Allahyarham)…….
Good memories of old Malaya (now Malaysia) during the communist insurgent or Emergency…….my dad was in the Police Force during those years……..thank god it was all over now, the Communist gave up their struggle against the government in late 90s and surrendered ……..
Was he fond with the Far East?.Love is a many splendored thing (HK), Satan never sleeps(HK), The Bridges of Toko-Ri(Korean War), The Bridge over River Kwai (Ceylon now Sri Lanka),The World of Suzie Wong (HK).
It reminds me of my father who fought the communist insurgents during emergency. It was tough life until 1989 when the PCM put downed their weapons.
Chinese sub title
The new villages are the first concentration camps.
