"In the sky I found, even in my enemies, courage, honour and chivalry. On the ground..." he shrughs his shoulders.
Somewhat interesting performances from Redford and Sarandon, etc. It tried to capture something of the post WWI era (late 20s early 30s) and specifically within that era, the story of a few ex-fighter pilots trying to make it in civilian life as aerial acrobats and stunt flyers.
In a world where mundane survival has seemed to trivialize everything then, the theme was in reminicing about a time when life seemed to have had more meaning.
There was nothing bad about this movie. I found it to be fairly interesting, quaint, but not riviting. One may dare say a bit 'slow' at times. Still, it was produced well and would probably appeal to pilots or fans of early airplanes (or early Redford). Worth a watch, but not the most intriguing movie I ever saw. |
