Rating: - Bethune: The making of a hero
It is one of the best movies, in my opinion, that Donald Sutherland ever made. The subject of Dr. Bethune should be taught in classrooms wherever possible. The man and his work is that important. I wish everyone, that has the chance, would view this video and the wonderful performance of Donald Sutherland as he portrays Dr. Bethune.
Rating: - A realy film?
The film you can only unterstand if you know the life of Dr. Norman Bethune or Pai Chiu-en. To often the film plays in different times. It was a long way to make this film and how the book "The scalpel, the sword" here are the same mistakes. For instance the operation of his own illness - the tuberkulousis - in the sanatorium Bethune not maked himself, he has got the operation by Dr. Warren. Better you read the book from Larry Hannant written in 1998 (University of Toronto Press).
