On board the train, Jemadar Malik, who has apparently escaped as a prisoner of war, is assigned as security detail to Julia, much to her chagrin. Crossing a river, the full complement of passengers and boatmen come under fierce Japanese aerial attack, resulting in numerous casualties. The British assume Julia has fallen, but she has survived and is accosted by three Japanese soldiers. Malik, who has also escaped unscathed, arrives in time to save her from being killed and in the process, captures one Japanese soldier Hiromichi as a hostage to lead them back to the Indian border. Through the rain-drenched jungle and a war-zone swarming with enemy platoons, Julia, Malik, and Hiromichi march slowly to their destination. Combing an anti-aircraft bunker, they barely escape a booby trap, with Malik furious at Hiromichi for leading them into an ambush. As Julia's gentleness and compassion counteracts against Malik's battle-hardened cynicism and aggression, the two fall in love, despite the overwhelming realisation their journey will be over when Julia is reunited with Billimoria.

Movies With Full Rangoon
The next day, the raft stops at a village. Laura goes to find drugs to treat Ko. She reluctantly accepts a pistol from one of the crew. At a clinic, Laura finds the drugs she needs, but has to shoot a soldier to keep from being raped. When they arrive in Rangoon, the city is in the throes of a full-scale revolt. When Laura attempts to get into the US embassy, the military tries to arrest her for helping Ko, but the student demonstrators rescue them. After they witness soldiers killing civilians, they get put on a truck heading for the border. Near the border, the group has to abandon their truck and make a run through the jungle. There they meet up with a group of Karen rebels. Laura has a dream where her son Danny tells her she has to let him go. Ko urges Laura to do so, telling her, "All things pass, Laura. They are shadows as we are shadows. Briefly walking the earth, and soon gone."
The movies have always known how to make the Inscrutable East scrutable: They create Western heroes and send them there to scrute it, and then we see the situation through their eyes. This is known in screenwriting class as "providing a point of entry for the audience." It has given us Mel Gibson in Indonesia, Robert Mitchum in Japan and Lawrence in Arabia, and now Patricia Arquette, stranded in Burma in "Beyond Rangoon." But wait. I sound too cynical. The strategy is perfectly acceptable in commercial films, because the Western audience can then identify with places and issues that might otherwise elude them. In the case of "Beyond Rangoon," director John Boorman is concerned with political repression in Burma, which has existed under a state of martial law for several years with, until recently, its Nobel Prize-winning dissident Aung San Suu Kyi under house arrest.
Yes, she has seen the film. She is a Vishal Bhardwaj fan and has liked mine and his movies together. She is a full Rangoon supporter and she is looking forward to seeing what people have to say about the movie.
Moments later, he dismisses another Indian's cries of injustice with a matter-of-fact "Pish posh, I'm white and always right!" While walking away, he even sarcastically rues the employment of "Tagore's lovely tune" as the rebellious anthem of his rivals' fast-burgeoning freedom-fighting movement, the Bose-led Indian National Army (Azaad Hind Fauj). We're blissfully aware that the song he refers to will, in a later draft, assume the status of this country's official national anthem.
The problem with Rangoon, as with all of Bhardwaj's movies since Maqbool is that the strands making up his stories are often so rich that when the director goes ahead and unties them for the sake of a movie plot, he ends up giving them a spiritual glow, so not in place with its basic complexity.
But that was then, this is now. American and British productions are in full bloom this year, filling the many screens of the Palais des Festivals with unusual vigor. Some are old news in the United States, where pictures like ''Jefferson in Paris'' and ''Ed Wood'' have already opened. Others are having their first public screenings here, and curiosity about them couldn't be higher. Pictures attracting the most buzz range from ''The Neon Bible,'' a small-town drama starring the superb Gena Rowlands, to ''Beyond Rangoon,'' a look at Burma's troubled political situation with Patricia Arquette in the leading role.
Interestingly, the most exciting American productions to show up early in the festival aren't part of the Official Competition -- where the movies have been mostly disappointing, as of this writing -- but belong to the sidebar series called ''Un Certain Regard,'' dedicated to slightly offbeat films with ''a certain look'' about them. This program opened with two movies about family relations, one directed by actress Diane Keaton and the other by Ulu Grosbard, a stage director who makes occasional forays into film. Both were enthusiastically received, and should be appearing on American screens in the near future.
Rarely does music contribute to story development as powerfully as it does in ''Georgia,'' which reaches its climax in an astonishing concert scene featuring a Van Morrison number sung by Sadie with an urgency that seems to reveal the innermost layers of her deeply tormented yet unquenchably resilient self. Much of the credit for this moment and for the entire film's impact goes to Leigh, whose acting here far surpasses her work in such movies as ''The Hudsucker Proxy'' and ''Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle,'' where she made a strong start only to settle into a single groove that became monotonous after a while.
The main character is Steven, a junior-high student with an unusual collection of relatives: a mother who's seriously ill, a father who spends his days taking home movies and dreaming up kooky inventions, and two uncles whose eccentricity verges on outright craziness. The story reaches its comic peak when Steven goes to live with his uncles, who proceed to change his name to Franz, wise him up to the conspiracy they think is stalking them, and teach him to sing the socialist ''Internationale'' when the other kids are reciting the Pledge of Allegiance in school. 2ff7e9595c
