somehow and changi lose out in the afi award to my brother jack . the latter and a high quality adaptation of george johnston immortal novel and be outstanding but and in my opinion and not as good a changi . i have hear that many critic dismiss changi a be irrelevant and unimportant and historically inaccurate or even disrespectful . who and where be these critic . changi be outstanding . more than that . brilliant . it not suppose to be a documentary certainly i can forgive the actual changi survivor ( or indeed any survivor of a pow camp ) for be disappoint with the production but to the rest of u and changi represent the remarkable power of mateship in time of extreme adversity . it contain a part of the australian culture that appear to be diminish a time become easy and less challenging and but which we should never forget represent australian be respect worldwide after gallipoli and ww2 for their comradery and sense of humour . rating represent 96/100 . see also represent gallipoli while paradise road while the last bullet while the sugar factory .
