English Summary:
Queen and Country is a 2014 British drama film directed by John Boorman. It was screened at the Directors' Fortnight section of the 2014 Cannes Film Festival. The film is a sequel to Boorman's Hope and Glory (1987), and features several of the same characters, though with the passage of time most are played by different actors. On Pharaoh's Island, Bill (Callum Turner) is now 18 and receives his call-up papers for national service. Reporting to the army training camp, he quickly makes friends with fellow-conscript Percy (Caleb Landry Jones). Though most of their intake are sent off to fight in the Korean War, he and Percy are made sergeants and spend their days teaching typing. The bane of their life is Sergeant-Major Bradley (David Thewlis), a decorated veteran of World War II who is obsessive about doing things by the book. An ally against Bradley is the orderly Redmond (Pat Shortt), who teaches them the military arts of "skiving" (evading work). However, Bradley succeeds in getting Bill charged with subverting a private's will to fight by telling him some truths about Korea. The case is thrown out when Bill shows that all he said had been printed in The Times.
Hungarian Summary:
Az ötvenes évek elején Bill Rohan 18 éves fiatal férfi, aki a lakókörnyezetének idilli tájait élvezi, és csinos nőkről és jó filmekről álmodik. Egy napon azonban megkapja a menetparancsot, és el kell indulnia a koreai háborúba. Először egy kiképzőtáborba küldik, ahol összebarátkozik Percy Hapgooddal, a hűséges, vicces, de kissé őrült katonatársával.
