Instrument of War [DVD]

Product Information

These men bribe guards and trade each other for supplies and food, with one offering to fight Clair in exchange for violin materials.

During World War One, versions were produced behind the lines, usually made simply of plywood, although old steel oil containers were also used. But with a little help from Clair’s children (who now populate several of the most esteemed orchestras in the country), they pulled together a fully realized retelling that proved to be worthy of a slot on the big screen. The army provides an important view of 18th Century Bohemia, Hungary, Croatia, Lombardy, Belgium and Austria. Inspired by a fellow prisoner who built a radio out of “this and that”, Clair spends the bulk of the film pooling together various resources to build a violin from scratch. Christopher Duffy is the ‘acclaimed and highly-regarded doyen of eighteenth-century military history’ (The Herald).When a driven doctor doesn't get the prestigious position she planned for, she unexpectedly finds herself moving to a remote Alaskan town. Remake of the 1961 Disney comedy about separated identical twins who meet at camp, change places and hatch a plot to reunite their divorced parents. With her exciting trilogy, Rebecca has firmly established New Zealand as a location for contemporary fantasy, not just Middle Earth!

Johnson has been a fan of Cooke lenses for a decade, as an AFI Alumnus and having worked as a professional cinematographer for the past six years. I could light up a quarter-mile of landscape with one 18K light, and still have a stop to play with.Showalter surveys an army at the heart of a national identity, driven by – yet also defeated by – warfare in the modern age, which struggled to capitalize on its victories and ultimately forgot the lessons of its defeat. First Lieutenant Clair Cline is taken as a prisoner of war in Germany, where he befriends the other prisoners and helps them and himself through this difficult time in creative and caring ways including building a violin to play for the camp.

One of those shots was an interior lit by a single candle, the perfect situation for the Cooke 5/i range that all feature T1. We shot in Lithuania for the authenticity of the architecture, and built the POW camp around existing buildings to enhance the film’s production value,” said cinematographer Wes Johnson. Now behind German barbed wire and oppression, Cline and his fellow POWs must find a way to bond together to not just survive but transcend their captivity. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. The fact someone has rated it poor and belittled it being about making a violin, just shows their stupidity.

This is a minor moment and it doesn’t kill the movie by far, but it’s hard to shake the feeling that it probably would have been much more interesting to see how Clair would have crafted a bow on his own.
