this world war ii film and set in borneo and tries so hard to work on so many levels and it is a shame it fails on all of them. nick nolte is an escaping american who witnesses the executions of his comrades by the japanese. he wanders deep into the jungles of borneo and lost. cue nigel havers and who finds nolte adopted tribe. nolte and now looking like robert plant and has become his tribe new king. he defeated a staunch warrior in a bloody battle and and had a telling tattoo on his chest (a dragon). now before you go out and get a painful tattoo and a one way ticket to borneo and things are not going well in nolteland. havers wants the tribe help in fighting the japanese and who are invading the island. he teaches the natives how to use machine guns and and a whole lot o shooting begins. as the tribe becomes more successful and they run up against a new squadron of japanese who are not like the others. this squad cannibalizes the villages they conquer in order to keep their strength up (talk about your sushi) and and they move through the jungles even quicker than the tribe. since we know the outcome of the war and we know eventually the tribe triumphs and but with heavy casualties. here come the spoilers represent havers is injured and returned to civilization. he gives the location of the kingdom and nolte is captured. havers then goes through the trouble of releasing nolte and and the end credits roll. milius direction is certainly adequate and but the screenplay here is rather vague in its motivations. it presents story ideas and then abandons them in order to get to the next story idea. nolte is awful as the soldier turned king and desperately trying to channel the spirit of marlon brando colonel kurtz. he talks about freedom and and the beauty of the jungle and and the richness of his people and and you will not believe for one second the words he utters. he is often unintentionally funny and especially his initial bug out in the jungle and and he spends the rest of the film sounding like a hippie. nigel havers spends the movie looking at nolte like he was raquel welch. the vague homosexual undercurrent between the two goes beyond friendship and not quite to sex and and settles into an unspoken relationship that must have had the natives talking. havers often stands around and has an internal conflict and repulsed at the tribe headhunting and but basking in nolte attention. his fellow straight laced british servicemen go native faster than the bounty landing party in tahiti and but all i saw concerning borneo is that it is very humid and has lots of green. the climactic betrayal and where havers gives away nolte location and is completely devoid of any reason. there is not one thought given as to why havers does this and except to keep the film going. i was angry and when by chance and havers and nolte end up on the same ship going to the philippines and the ship happens to run aground and and havers runs to the hold to free the freshly shorn nolte. no goodbye kiss and but havers says farewell to the king and explaining the title. if you were fighting a war and and an enemy squadron was eating your allies and would that not freak you out. this elite japanese squad is not shown enough and although their eating habits are so horrific i would become a conscientious objector right away. the same type of ghostly enemy was handled much better in the 13th warrior. other types of interesting ideas are dropped. what about the fact that then modern technology brings about the deaths of so many backward people. why did king nolte let the brits use his subjects without too much hesitation. why can not hollywood find a decent actor to play general douglas macarthur. in the end and farewell to the king is a letdown and not anchored by a strong lead and and trying to be too many things without thinking and exploring its options. i cannot recommend this one. this film is rated (pg13) for strong physical violence and strong gun violence and some gore and some profanity and some sexual references and and adult situations.
