The Great Escape (1963)
The Great Escape (1963)
1963 | Drama, History, War
The Bank holiday classic. I didn't watch it for ages but once I did I found it was a pretty good story loosely based on a true story of P.O.W.s escaping from their prison camp during the second world war.

Easy and enjoyable read
Very creative 24 hour read. I believe the book was aimed for the younger population, but, as an adult, I really enjoyed it. It was a quick read that I couldn't put down. Give it a shot :)

I received this book through a First Reads contest. I liked this book even though it took me some time to get into and there were a lot of things that happened that I wasn't expecting. But overall it was good.

What a fun and cute movie. Honestly, I have to be honest, I think that the thing that made this movie work was the casting. The cast did a phenomenal job with this film and I would absolutely watch it again!

"Since I picked a movie that’s not one of mine, let me pick one of mine for my second choice. There’s this movie called Parasite. [laughs] A lot of people seem to like that movie; I think I agree with them."

"My all-time favourite book is A Child Called It. I love that book. It was so interesting and I just really, really got into it and I literally couldn’t put the book down. And it’s just a really sad story."

"After I saw this film when I was a kid, I went hang-gliding with my next door neighbor and we crashed into an abandoned missile silo. My neighbor lost his right leg. This movie was a big influence on that."

"Read in the house I’d built with a man who told me he couldn’t love me as much as I loved him. (I don’t know what it taught me but I cried like a boy.) Age 45, Vieques, Puerto Rico."

"Every time I guessed what would happen next I was wrong and what a thrill it was. When was the last time a film this entertaining also said so much about the way we live? I can’t stop thinking about it."

I really wish that I loved this book as much as I loved it in middle school. I guess science fiction/fantasy really is not my favorite type of book. I found that I was bored quite a lot with this book.

I have realized that I struggle with books when they are logical. I like my emotional books. The logical nature of this novel seemed dull to me. I did like the plot line, I just did not enjoy the writing style.

All in all, this book kept me entertained. It is a good mix between science fiction and fantasy, however, it falls too much to the science fiction side that I had a hard time enjoying the novel.
