DVD Reviews of No Man Is an Island

DVD Review: No Man Is An Island DVD
Summary: 5 Stars

I have searched for the movie,"No Man Is An Island", for sometime and finally found that it was available through Amazon.Com. Amazon.Com service was wonderful and after placing my order I recieved my copy of the movie in just a few days. Thank you Amazon. The dvd is terrific and excellant quality. I was stationed in the Philipines just after this movie was made and the scenery in this true story really took me back to my Navy days spent there.

DVD Review: Not even close to the real story, but still a good movie
Summary: 4 Stars

This is a classic case of Hollywood nearly completely changing a story. The George Tweed and Arturo family saga was interesting enough, wish they'd left it alone.

But ... this movie is still enjoyable (most likely even more so if you don't know the true facts). Jeffrey Hunter again shows that he can carry a movie on his own, but Marshall Thompson is outstanding as one of the Navy men trying to stay hidden and alive on such a small island. One good aspect of the movie is that the brutality of the WWII-era Japs is not glossed over, and more importantly, how the Chamaros are truly wonderful and kind people.

There are some tense moments in this film, and it does rate a ranking in the good WWII films. But it is VERY disappointing the film was shot in the Phillipines, and not Guam. That simply doesn't make sense. It should have shown it as it was.

DVD Review: Great movie but huge misrepresentation!!
Summary: 3 Stars

I thought the movie was awesome except for the fact that it was taped in the Phillippines and the "Chamorros" were in fact Filipinos who spoke Tagalog in the film. Anyone know of any movies with real Chamorros in it?

DVD Review: No Man Is An Island
Summary: 5 Stars

This is an excellent movie about a man who after he Japanese invaded Guam eluded ong search for him aided by the noble people of Guam.

DVD Review: Chamorros??....Well, not exactly
Summary: 4 Stars

The movie appeared to portray the events fairly accurately, but there was something I noted as one with native Guamanian (Chamorro) blood myself. The characters who were supposed to be Chamorro were not, but rather they were Filipino. The movie would at times indicate that the natives were speaking Chamorro, when in fact, they were speaking Tagalog. I don't expect most Americans to recognize this fact (nor would they much care, probably), but the Filipinos and Chamorros definitely would. All in all, a good movie, but carelessly done with respect to the portrayal of the native Guamanians.
