THE GREAT ESCAPER - In Cinemas Now - A True Love Story Featurette

#TheGreatEscaper - In Cinemas Now
In the summer of 2014, Bernard Jordan (Michael Caine) made global headlines. He had staged a “great escape” from his care home to join fellow war veterans on a beach in Normandy, commemorating their fallen comrades at the D-Day Landings 70th anniversary.
It was a story that captured the imagination of the world as Bernie embodied the defiant, “can-do” spirit of a generation that was fast disappearing. But of course, it wasn’t the whole story. It was an inspirational but sanitised retelling of one man’s need to come to terms with the lasting trauma of war.
Bernie’s adventure, spanning a mere 48 hours, also marked the culmination of his 60-year marriage to Rene (Glenda Jackson) - THE GREAT ESCAPER celebrates their enduring love but always with an eye to the lessons we might learn from the Greatest Generation.

I really enjoyed this film yesterday (given it was out yesterday Friday) I had to admit I teared up being the "hard man" I am but really I'm a softie 10/10 one of the best films this year (me and my mum have got unlimited cards for our local cinema)

I would pay to watch Jackson and Caine open a paper bag. Can't wait to see this film.

[@pamelatillery2841]

Just watched it, amazing and sad 😢

[@jackel99]

Any movie that has Jackson or Caine in it will be a fun watch. But, to have both in one flick, and especially concerning the "Greatest Generation" is a delight I will not miss!!

[@ronnie3288]

[@TheStockportHatter1986]

I know you do I loved it

Moist eyes and chuckles throughout.
I'm sure Bafta will come a calling. (even posthumously)
