A solid film, but quite conventional. There’s really nothing new
To see here. So, after Chamberlain’s bid adieu,
Winston takes the job (and strain).
’Wow, the PM’s on the train!’
Oldman’s strong, but the real star’s Tsuji (and his crew).
Two young dudes (the arms-dealing world's upstarts): They initially get by using their bullshitting arts. Hill plays morally reprehensible And despicable/indefensible To perfection: elevating the film beyond its weaker parts.

Post-occupation, the Danish are embittered. Enter German boys, to clear the coastline (littered With mines). A heartbreaking journey (Brutality/empathy) towards the gurney. Innocent, young lives: away they are frittered.

Heartbroken, leaving his farm (ghostly, spacious), Joshua embarks on a journey most audacious. Though the film has some flaws, The gorgeous cinematography soars In this story of a dad who's so tenacious.
...
As the US time in Vietnam was expiring,
Secret evacuation missions were transpiring.
Magnificent doco: riveting account
Of the obstacles to surmount.
Those who put themselves on the line are inspiring.
We see these were real people, with friends, families, wives,
And of course war's horrific and destroys many lives.
But I ask: was it vital ...
