Stonekeeper's Springtime Game: I recommend THIS Mystery Movie #395 [The Burmese Harp (1956), guessed by LauraGrace]


Sorry I'm late. Let's begin!

So you guys like to play games? Here is an investigation game that can be time consuming but it's lots of fun. Basically, I have a movie in mind and you have to guess which one it is. For each movie you guys are going to guess, I will give a hint that CONNECTS your guess with the movie I have in mind.

Example of connections: Actor, length, genre, aspect ratio, language, country, year, director, writer in common, rating, number of votes, nominations. It can even be something like: both movies involve a love triangle.

- The winner can either start a new game or say "pass". In case of a pass, the OP gets to start another one.
- After 12 hints, the point goes to the OP and he/she gets to start another one.
- Movie must have at least 3500 votes. Otherwise, add a Bonus Hint.


Hint 1: 28 Days Later... (2002) - Runtime between 100 and 120 minutes.
Hint 2: Pokémon Detective Pikachu (2019) - Fewer than 50,000 votes on IMDb.
Hint 3: True Confessions (1981) - Based on a novel.
Hint 4: Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom (1975) - War genre.
Hint 5: The Quiet American (2002) - Set in Asia.
Hint 6: The Year of Living Dangerously (1982) - Shared keyword: "starvation".
Hint 7: Fires on the Plain (1959) - Released in the 1950s.

LauraGrace wins with The Burmese Harp (1956), a powerful anti-war film from Japan.

I took the liberty of assuming that you were referring to the far superior 2002 movie, and not the inferior 1958 one.

yes 2002 michael caine, didn't even know there was another.

reply

The 2002 movie is excellent, one of my favorite movies. The 1958 one was bad and got denounced by Graham Greene, who wrote the novel it was based on.

I love the novel too.

Asia is SO big.

reply

Precisely why it's always been a bad idea to start a land war there.
