this is an old film and as such cannot be compared to today's standards. film making was a lot different and people who say the film is dull, badly written or point out flaws do not understand film making. it is why films like this are not made anymore as they do not rely on cgi, constant explosions and fight scenes to sell the story.
Actual name of this movie is "Krakatoa, East of Java" and a few years later named "Volcano". Great movie. One interesting thing to me was how much this type of movie inadvertently trained Americans in relationship dynamics. The central theme was the protagonist Laura Travis leaving her husband, abandoning her child to be with the super handsome Captain Hanson. And then of course it all works out in the end with everyone risking their lives to reunite mother and son... who she had just abandoned, and she's portrayed as a great mother and hero for saving her son. And the son's father is killed so mom can have her perfect life with the perfect captain. And we don't even notice we're being trained to view this as a "great love story". Leave your husband, abandon your son, just do what you want. In the following decades after this theme was hammered over and over in the 1960's and beyond movies we saw marriage rates drop, divorce increase, more single mothers, lowering happiness, increased loneliness and we can't figure why. Not blaming Hollywood. They just created stories we wanted to hear. Call it unintentional propaganda. It was a cheap and easy storyline to create drama after years of "Ozzie and Harriet", "Leave it to Beaver", etc... But it seems we seriously shot our collective selves in the foot. Great viewing though.
Maybe life wasn't as rosy for women at the time. Couldn't open a bank account or get credit, no no-fault divorce and the law was such that a woman could be raped by her husband and have no legal recourse, as legal precedent held that her marriage vows were sufficient to make her effectively a sexual slave within a marriage. And cops attending domestic situations would tend to just leave a woman to be beaten senseless and not intervene. Not hard to see why divorce increased when women gained more autonomy.
Not only that, they robbed that little boy. Nobody had a right to those pearls but him and his mother. It didn't sink with the ship therefore it wasn't salvage.
@@hannotn Speaking of propaganda... Conditions were harsh for all people back then, men included. Although it was unusual for a woman to have a bank account or a line of credit, it wasn't illegal or forbidden. Divorce was a thing LONG before the 1880's but you couldn't just get one because you felt like it. There had to be a good reason like abuse or infidelity. Marriage wasn't like dating the way it is with so many people now. Clearly the woman was considering getting one. She wouldn't have threatened it if it were impossible or illegal. Christian communities held each other to standards beyond what the state demanded and they didn't put up with men abusing their wives and children. You would be shamed and shunned at a bare minimum for that sort of thing. To be honest, the 1880's were probably more civilized than the 2020's.
What a great, old movie! Nothing better than a good adventure movie and I'd say this is a classic, I remember seeing this many, many years ago and am really happy that I ran across it again, after all these years. For the time, I'd say the special effects were excellent! While we all know that Krakatoa was really way, way more than portrayed here, it doesn't matter because that wasn't the theme of the movie and besides, it was just a great, old movie and fun to watch! They just don't make movies like this gem anymore .. thank you soo much for sharing it!
Great movie, although an island volcano would not cause a tsunami. Also at deep sea, where tsunami's originate, would only be approx. 1 foot high traveling at a high velocity.
_Krakatoa, East of Java,_ as others have mentioned, is a 1968 American disaster film starring Maximilian Schell and Brian Keith. During the 1970s, the film was re-released under the title _Volcano._ The story is loosely based on events surrounding the 1883 eruption of the volcano on the island of Krakatoa, with the characters engaged in the recovery of a cargo of pearls from a shipwreck perilously close to the volcano. The film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Special Visual Effects. (Wikipedia)
What an amazing movie! It kept me spellbound all through. Such wanderful real life pictures are not made any more. What spectacular special effects in such old times! Unbelievable.
I remember seeing this when I was 10 years old. It was fun and exciting to watch. As a school boy my friends would go up to other kids in the school yard and ask "Do you know what's east of Java?" If they didn't know, they would yell Krakatoa!, and try to stomp on their toes.
Yes it was historically correct except the ship would not of had any problem with the tital wave as they travel under the water, only when they get in shallow water or land do they get taller and do damage . The tital wave from Krakatau was suppose to be about 30m when it devastated coastal villages in Sumatra and Java, killing about 36,000 people. Excellent movie, great acting from Schell and Keith. 😊
Saw this in a $.25 movie house with my girlfriend in early 70s before being shipped off to Vietnam, don't remember much of the movie 😘, never saw her again. I do love these old films they remind me of simpler times.
20:18 I BET THAT THOSE EXPLOSIONS DURING THE FIRST FEW MINUTES OF THE MOVIE WERE PRETTY DRAMATIC!!! I WOULD TURN THAT BOAT AROUND SO FAST AS SOON AS I SAW THOSE EXPLOSIONS. I DO KNOW THAT IT'S JUST A MOVIE BUT THOSE EXPLOSIONS WERE CRAZY
i'm not sure if any aware. start from 0.56 i can hear Kelapa (coconut),Kacang(peanut) Nasi Goreng(fried rice), semua pun ada (all available) this language somehow use in Malay Archipelago (ie Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei)
Movie is titled: "Krakatoa, East of Java." Though it's really west of Java--one of my favourite all time movies. Get the book "Krakatoa" by Winchester; great read, all about the 1883 eruption.
This is the second time I have watched this great movie, and it is still as awesome as the first time I saw it. However, there was another one made in black & white, possibly in the 1930s, that I saw many years before I saw this one the first time. It has a similar story except that they must land on the island where the nuns are taking the school children (or it may have been mission children) over a mountain to protect them from the Krakatoa outfall from memory. It also was a great movie. Thank you for posting.
Did you know, that KIKO the pearl diver, was married to Brian Keith,,1970-1997 with two nice kids😉🎭🎬 Diving Bell boy, David Leyton is one if not the last surviving member of the cast of THE GREAT ESCAPE 🎬💯👍🥇🙏😇
Thank you for this upload of such a magnificent classic. Kept me glued to my seat 😂 great actors some have gone to a better life. Thank you I'm enjoying the matinee.
Krakatoa East of Java 1968, A very nice movie, I watched it for the first time in the cinema while I was in the first year of intermediate school, in 1969, timeless movie,
The eruption was so big that the shockwave traveled across the entire planet. The force of the event so so spectacular that the orbit of the planet was minorly shifted for a time.
June 1629 was that fatal day.. 41 of the 341 never made it to shore. Drown off the coast of western Australia. (which is beautiful from Albany up to Broome Wa). Western Australia is 5x's larger than Texas.
I think it was rather well done with the exception of the corny music and a bit of over acting. It is historically correct in that there were some ships that rode the tidal wave when Krakatoa blew up.
another great volcano movie, also see Mount St Helan's with art carne, and then it happened with paul newman, daunte's peak with pierce branson, and that one in los angles with tommy lee jones.
Oh dear lord. What was the reason they made this? I have never cared so little for what happened to everyone. And could they have had the volcano blow up just A FEW MORE TIMES?
!0 minutes in. It looks like a good movie, but why would the crewman be riding the top of the diving bell while it was being hoisted and loaded? It was stupid to be loading it and passengers in that close quarters and at the same time. Accidents waiting to happen. This should be interesting. I enjoy picking out stupid scenarios that are just to keep the plot going. Osha wasn't around at that time, I guess.
On the meh scale...4½ meh out of 10 mehs being the best. The story had such potential. It fell flat in so many ways. Convicts story fell really, really flat. 2 × speed recommended in many parts that probably should have been edited out.
So ridiculous why would they sail through the island when they were already at sea. The balloon would have gone up not down due to the heated air Completely implausible
I am at 44:00 and since 37:10 I had patiently put up with a man's irritating hallucinations and scenes coupled with likewise irritating noisy music. Long unpleasant seven minutes. I almost quit watching.
Didn't much care for this movie. The drama scenes went on way to long and very over acted. I can now understand why i never herd of this old movie. The story line was good but very bad directing and editing.
The air goes up when it is hot. So the balloon can never go down into the vulcano. Instead it should go up above the vulcano. What we see here is complete nonsense !!!
This isn't sci fi. Krakatoa was a real volcano that exploded in spectacular fashion in the year 1883. Dirigibles, steam boats and diving bells all existed in the 1880's. I do have to agree that the movie sucks though. I like movies of this era but this one just wasn't great in terms of writing
Galatians 6:7-8 (KJV) Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that he shall also reap. Here is the Bible way to Heaven. Dear Jesus I know that I am a Sinner, I deserve to go to HELL, please forgive me of all my SIN and give me ETERNAL LIFE. I'm not TRUSTING in my WORKS, I'm not TRUSTING in my RELIGION. I'm only TRUSTING in my FAITH and BELIEF in you JESUS CHRIST. Thank you for SAVING ME. Amen: Grace through Faith by Salvation it's the only way. ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED! No matter what!
