A Defining Moment in My Life January 21, 2004
11 out of 12 found this review helpful
MISSION OF THE SHARKpLIFE WRITES BEST SCENARIOS... I have heard that expression many times, and it often proved right. br brBut nothing could prepare me for the astonishment and shock of the message conveyed by "Mission of the Shark"-movie. Sitting in my sofa, I randomly chose a channel on my TV and found myself looking at a body of water filled with people struggling for their lives. You see, I did not watch the movie from the very beginning...but I surely did not miss the rest of it.p"What is it?? I kept asking myself. "Another war drama?" "What an incredible story!" "Is the story based on facts?"pEvery scene seemed more improbable than the previous one and I watched with awe, waiting impatiently for the end, only to run to my computer in order to look for any available information on the Internet. I found plenty, and all of it confirming the plot of the film. Talk about defining moments, wow!pI am a teacher of English who also happens to be a history freak, so it is easy to foresee what happened next. I contacted the TV-station that showed the film and asked them to help me get a copy (no copy was available for purchase at any on-line store at that time). They were nice and helpful people and, although half legally only, they sent one to me. I was overwhelmed, for I could finally see the first 30 minutes I had missed.pThen I began to plan a big school project based on the movie and on Doug Stanton's "In Harm's Way", a book describing in detail what had happened (I bought it on amazon.co.uk).pPresently this project, known as "USS Indianapolis", is an obligatory part of my English class. brWe use "Mission of the Shark", "In Harm's Way", and a documentary film from AE Home Video, "Sea Tales: Missing! The Indianapolis", to trigger students' creativity in many fields and various aspects. We are touching history, psychology, social sciences, legal science, culture - so many different subjects can be inspired by this unbelievable and true story of USS Indianapolis, her crew and her brave captain.pWWII is over in Europe, but still not over between the U.S.A. and Japan. What everybody knows, is that it ended shortly after the two nuclear bombs fell on two Japanese cities. What hardly anybody knows, however, is how this first bomb got transported to its destination. brThe most dramatic sea story of WWII is almost unknown to the public, but thanks to the film everybody may learn first hand about this most unbelievable chain of accidents and mishaps that resulted in a massive loss of lives and a personal tragedy of one great man, played by Stacy Keach.pSo if you are into real stories, if you value sincerity in film-making, if you want to learn about one of the most incredible stories in the American Navy history of WWII - watch this film. brDefinitely a worth-while eye-opener and a history treasure box.
