Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

MartinHafer Flight Lieutenant Michael Quinn (Dirk Bogarde) has seen a lot of action in the RAF and is itching for something different. So he volunteers for duty with Army Intelligence and goes to school to learn the Japanese language. However, a problem develops when a pretty Japanese language instructor, Sabbi (Yôko Tani) arrives. She and Michael fall in love and marry. So why is this a problem? Well, he never asked for permission to marry through military channels--and might result in him being severely disciplined. So, they keep their marriage a secret and hope for the best. But there are two problems. First, there is an officer who is a total jerk and could LOVE to see Quinn in hot water. Second, something is wrong with Sabbi...something she hasn't told her husband. and then, there's a third problem which comes along a bit later. What's next? Well, see the film and find out for yourself.What I appreciate most about this film is that it is unique. There must have been a bazillion war movies but so many of them have a sameness about them...but not this one. Well acted, well made and very engaging...this one's worth your time.

SimonJack This movie is based on a novel by British author Richard Mason, who also wrote "The World of Suzie Wong." In "The Wind Cannot Read," Mason weaves a story that seems to be based on several of his personal experiences in WWII. He studied Japanese and served in the RAF in the Far East, where he interrogated Japanese prisoners. This movie is a rather unique war film. It's one of a small number of WWII movies about the war in and concerning the Far East, especially India. It covers the training of military personnel to speak, read and write Japanese. Is there another film that does that? And, it covers interrogation of Japanese prisoners – something rare in WWII films. These aspects give this film historical value. For that reason, and the very good acting by everyone in the film, I rate it eight stars.The plot and script of the movie are disjointed, and the film in three or four places jumps from one place and situation to another rather abruptly. The core of the movie is a love story that is more believable than most romances in war flicks. The location, encounter and time in the film lend well to the possibility of a meaningful romance. One military situation in the film stands out for its absurdity. That is toward the end when the three officers who are expert Japanese interpreters and interrogators run into the enemy. What were they doing traveling together in a war zone? A single ambush, land mine, air strafing or tossed grenade could wipe out all of the British Japanese linguists in the Far East at once. Under no circumstances would those three men be in a lead jeep driving miles ahead of a convoy. Under no circumstances would they be scouting to set up a new interrogation base in an area that wasn't already secured by their own forces. Under no circumstances would they set out without knowing where they were going and where the enemy was. Yet in this movie, they do all of those things and drive right into the enemy's hands. This was a combat-experienced Brigadier at the head of the group. In real combat, something like this would never have taken place. So, it begs several questions. Was this incident, as portrayed, true to the book? If so, was it meant as a black eye to the British for military incompetence at times? And, if it was not intended as such, why in the world did the filmmakers not change it? They could easily have written another short scenario for Bogarde's injury and then return to his love. But that this scene remains as it is in the film seems to be a jab at the British military for its incompetence at times. And, it shows the serious consequences from such incompetence. Surely, the killing or capture of three highly trained officers as Japanese interrogators would be a huge loss at the Far East war front.

Steven Rich This was the final picture shown at the famous New York City movie palace, the Roxy, the self-exclaimed "Cathedral of the Motion Picture." The Roxy opened in 1928 amid mid-Manhatten Roaring Twenties fanfare. By the mid-1950's, the theater was showing it's age through years of neglect and declining revenues, i.e. competition from television and general flight of patrons to the suburbs. It was during the late '50's to the late '80's that the large picture palaces were vanishing to the wrecker's ball, and the Roxy fell without a whimper from the public. After showing "The Wind Cannot Read," in the spring of 1960, the Roxy was closed and demolished in three months. A famous photo exists of silent movie actress Gloria Swanson in an elegant gown posing amid the Roxy's gloomy ruins; one of her silents opened the Roxy in 1928. A tragic end to a magnificent structure, only 32 years old at the time.

ButaNiShinju Dirk Bogarde in India circa 1943 training to fight the Japanese, falls in love with a self-exiled Japanese woman (his instructor at military language school).Bogarde can infuse any performance with interest and tension. Yoko Tani, the female lead, is not a great actress but hits the right tone. Those familiar with Japan and the Japanese will appreciate that care was taken in the film to make it authentic -- real Japanese actors speaking real and quite appropriate Japanese.Very well photographed with some great scenes of India. A diverting, although not brilliant, film.
