I first saw this (the 182 mins version) in the early 90s.
Revisited it few days back but again the 182 mins version.
Tried very hard to get the 196 roadshow version but to no avail but was lucky to come across all the deleted/roadshow version scenes on YouTube uploaded by BossHossGT500.
McQueen deserved an Oscar for this movie and his anti hero/rebel character is an epitome of a cool rebel.
The movie has some amazing picturesque images.
For a war film, The Sand Pebbles features very little war/action scenes but that shouldn't deter u from watching this classic movie.
The last scene with the dialogue: I was home. What happened? What the hell happened?
The last scene is very poignant, surrealistic n far ahead of its time in terms of the horrors of war.
