Ганга Дин
Art Direction
"Ганга Дин" можно назвать "Унесенными ветром" в жанре приключенческого боевика - в нем есть всего понемногу: юмор, саспенс, зрелищность, "экшн" и хорошая доля расизма, империализма и ксенофобии. Основанный на сюжете Бена Хехта и Чарлза МакАртура по замечательному стихотворению Редьярда Киплинга, этот захватывающий приключенческий фильм повествует об уничтожении бандой туземных повстанцев отдаленного британского поста в горах Индии. Туда отправляют трех ветеранов - сержантов Каттера, МакЧесни и Бэллэнтайна. Их сопровождает небольшой отряд солдат-индусов и носильщики воды, или бхисти, включая Ганга Дина, у которого в жизни только одна мечта - стать солдатом. Вскоре сержанты получают приказ - уничтожить секту убийц Тагов, которая ранее считалась мрачной легендой прошлого.
