just finished watching 'ministry on un-gentlemanly warfare' guy ritchie's no quentin tarantino and this is no inglorious basterds but oh boy i love this movie i even forget churchill's looting and starving of india ... for a moment happy mix of indiana jones /raiders lost ark, explorer's guild, and where eagles dare some parts are lame - the song-dance-number at the casino is lacklustre and unconvincing luhr, the great-value-hans-landa is good but one dimensional , but that is in line with the indiana jones thing .. too much random killing of random people - it's more like a video game ... heron is awesome, man of the moment and infinite depth and all opening sequence is the best of the best of the best all the characters, in reality, look so thin and muscle less ... i take this opportunity to laud the sten gun and all those who carried it and used it to good effect .. the sheer genius of the thing is mind blowing.. really .. if you were lucky you got a handle/grip.. but that thing won the war time to dust off cryptonomicon the first i got for under 100 at a second hand book shop in kandivili ... read it on the bus ( it's perfectly normal to retro-polate my bussing and bus-reading back to my mumbai days but i never took the bus in mumbai, if i recall ...) here's the original green berets book https://archive.org/details/greenberetstoryo0000saun/page/16/mode/2up?view=theater
