white feathers...
yesterday night i watched the 4 feathers... if you don't know what it's about then you're not really missing out on much actually... the movie's quite old... but i kinda of enjoyed it... even if it was a bit draggy... and quite immpossible to happen...but that's my opinion...
it was the year if 1882... i think... britian controls a quarter of the world and to not join the army was a act of anti-pariotism... and deserters were given a white feather to symbolise their corwadice...
that part above is the starting of the movie... not word for word... but close enough...
well i must say that the movie was not bad... the fighting scenes were good... especially the one where they fought in the desert forming up in a square...
the story is mainly about this guy... he hates fighting/wars... but he has this general for a father... so he joins the army... not much of a choice actually... well he didn't think that he'd actually be shipped out to fight... he thought that he'd survived the training... leave after a couple of years... make it seem like he served his time and country... but too bad... things never work out the way you expect them to... hahaha... so when his unit got sent out... he sent in his letter of resignation... amazingly it got accepted... and he got disowned and his finacee left him and he is now the new and "proud" owner of 4 white feathers... i wonder why he got 4... maybe it's because he has 4 best friends...
anyways... his frinds shipped out and a week later... he finds out that many of his regiment has died in action... feeling bad... he makes up his mind to go get them back... i'm sure many people have such amazing change of heart when they see people they know pass on... so he gets himself to sudan... amazing that ships actually still go there... okie... back to the story... he gets a guy to take him to a fort but because of his guide's irritating behavior... their porters kill the guide and leave our main character to die in the desert... amazingly he survives the hit to his head with a rock... climbs on a camel and travels across the desert on his own...
this part is a bit sick... parental advisory is necessary... desperate from thirst... he pricks his camel's neck and drinks the animal's blood... okie as an army medic... things don't usually freak me out... but this is actually quite disgusting... but sure i'll remember this when i have a camel in the desert and i'm dying of thirst...
a native, who actually speaks great english, then picks him up and helps him to get to where he wants to go... acts as a porter for a few weeks... then follows spies to this place... blah blah blah... this part is kinda boring... so i switched to another channel... okie... back to the story... the fighting starts... he manages to save his friends... he sends back his bestest best friend first... jack... but his best friend got blinded... so he doesn't know who sent thim back...
then he sends back tom... tom could see... then before he leaves... our main character... harry... gives him a white feather... meaning unknown to all excpect harry... but i think it was probably his way of saying i'm sorry...
then he gets himself arrested by the sudan rebels so that he could get into prison to save another friend... can't remember his name... after like months... they fake their deaths with the native that initially saves harry and runs away... kills 4 rebels who came after them on the way to freedom... then returns to england with te guy whose name i cannot recall... of course he gets a white feather too...
back in england he finds his finacee and gives her one... and since jack is staying with her... harry finally tells jack that he's back... and give the blind man his white feather... i did mention that harry has 4 best friends but one of them died in battle... that's why she got one... i can't remember the name of the guy who died as well... too bad... he died...
harry gets back his girl... in the end... so actually the whole story is about how this one guy travels to africa and gives out white feathers... actually there should be many other amazing stuff that happens... but... can't expect me to remember everything...

so you get the white feather if you're like a certain Mr M Tan rite? from a friend is it? so da's y Harry got 4? Cos he got 4 frenz?
Maybe he give his frenz back de feather cos they no longer in the war liaoz... =) Reply to my comments leyz...
huh??? dun understand your question... haha...
anyways... who is mr m tan???
Huh?! Ya dunno who Mr M Tan is?? Give ya a clue.. He's a musician but all (well, almost all) S'porean guys hate him... =)
Ya say the character gets a white feather if he doesn't do army. So is he supposed to get 1 feather from each of his best fren? That's why he got 4?
And I'm saying he gives his best frenz de white feather cos they no longer in the war n hence the army...
Hey...
I'm sure you've got more interesting stuff in your life other than to write moive reviews right?
actually now that's you've mentioned it... yes i know who that is... and no i dun think he got 4 because he has 4 best friends... anyways... all of his friends are still in army excpet jack... can't really have a blind man fighting right?
but they left the war wat.. so considered "out of army" therefore get white feather..
Why did he get FOUR feathers den? Cos he's the main lead? Anyway, reply to ya comments frequently leyz.. or add a tagboard if you forget to check ya comments larz..
