    The 182min version is the first time I saw Hollywood with such a sober China, the Americans with the original sin of hegemony were engulfed by chaotic China.

    Review of the Sand Pebbles

    An American friend recommended me to watch this film, and there is also the painted veil. This is the reply after watching:

    Dear Jim,

    Thank you for the movies you lent me. Both are great
    movies. But if I were American, I would enjoy it more
    because these movies are very American in the way
    heroes...

The Sand Pebbles quotes

  • Frenchy Burgoyne: [exchanging marriage vows; slowly and with feeling] We're mixing our lives together, Maily, and we'll never be able to unmix them again, and we'll never want to. I take you for what you are, and all that you are, and mix you with all of me, and I don't hold back nothing. When you're cold, and hungry, and afraid, so am I. I'm going to stay with you all that I can, take the best care of you that I can, and love you 'til I die.

    Maily: I will always love you and honor you and serve you, and stay as near to you as I can, and do everything for you, and live for you. I won't have *any* life except our life together. I will just love you, Frenchy, all of me, loving you forever.

  • Captain Collins: Pray for an early spring... or permission to open fire.
