Single Tracks (2007)

Actors: Melissa Pace-Tanner (actress), An Dinh (editor), An Dinh (actor), An Dinh (director), An Dinh (writer), An Dinh (producer), Sina Amedson (actor), Paul Collins Johnson (actor), Lauren Brady (actress), Alexis Baigue (actor), Dominique Storni (actress), Elena Dinh (actress), Elena Dinh (writer), Cameron Rafati (composer), Jessie Ruffus (actress),

Plot: An estimated 2 Million couples struggle with these complex issues. They resolve them in very individual and sometimes unbelievable ways - divorces (both amicable and ugly), open marriages, staying together. Single Tracks explores An and Elena's path to work through the initial shock, granting audiences a rare glimpse into the lives of two ordinary people undergoing tremendous transformation. An and Elena play themselves and include documentary interviews with real couples sharing their stories to remind the audience that this is happening all around us. The filmmakers take great care to avoid melodrama and use the supporting characters to re-enact actual conversations they had with others about their relationship. While autobiographic in nature, they fictionalized the supporting characters in order to maintain a smooth narrative.

Plot: When Singapore surrendered to the Japanese in 1942 the Allied POWs, mostly British but including a few Americans, were incarcerated in Changi prison. This was a POW detention center like no other. There were no walls or barbed-wire fences for the simple reason that there was no place for the prisoners to escape to. Included among the prisoners is the American Cpl. King, a wheeler dealer who has managed to established a pretty good life for himself in the camp. While most of the prisoners are near starvation and have uniforms that are in tatters, King eats well and and has crisp clean clothes to wear every day. His nemesis is Lt. Robin Grey, the camp Provost who attempts to keep good order and discipline. He knows that King is breaking camp rules by bartering with the Japanese but can't quite get the evidence he needs to stop him. King soon forms a friendship with Lt. Peter Marlowe an upper class British officer who is fascinated with King's élan and no rules approach to life. As the story develops, it reveals the hypocrisy of the British class system and for King, the fact that his position in Changi's "society" is tenuous as best.

Quotes:

Lt. Robin Grey: Why do you think it is, Corporal, that you have so much and the rest of us so little? One day, Corporal, you're going to make a slip. All this wealth you've got isn't going to check against my list. And when you do; when that happens... I'll be ready. And you'll be in there... [points to the bamboo cage] in my cage. I'm not playing at being provost marshall, you know. And I've never yet heard of a run of luck that didn't run out. And yours will - depend on it - because you're like all criminals: you're greedy.::Cpl. King: Lieutenant, I'd like to point out to you that I don't have to put up with this crap from you. I'm not in your two-bit army, I'm in our two-bit army. If you're looking for something to live for, when we get out of this you come looking for me and I'll hand you your head.

Cpl. King: How's that chair feel?::Peter Marlowe: Fine.::Cpl. King: Cost me eighty bucks.::Peter Marlowe: Did it? Yes, well I'd never have guessed.::Cpl. King: You'da said more, huh?::Peter Marlowe: No, I don't think so. I don't think I'd have said anything really. I've never been a great 'chair price guesser'.

[King asks Marlowe to say something in Malay]::Peter Marlowe: What sort of thing?::Cpl. King: I don't care. Anything, I just wanna hear you.::[Marlowe says a sentence in Malay]::Cpl. King: Hey, that's pretty good. You hear that, Max? [to Marlowe] What's that mean?::Peter Marlowe: Well, it doesn't really have a literal translation. But, uh, roughly speaking, it means, "When do I have to kiss the - - on the ass?"::[all the other prisoners in the barracks turn and look]::Cpl. King: After the egg. Never before meals.

[Lt. Grey has come into King's hut while Marlowe is there]::Lt. Robin Grey: You're slumming aren't you, Marlowe?::Peter Marlowe: Don't be a snob, old man. Never make a good policeman if you're a snob. Everyone looks the same with their knickers down.

[Dr. Kennedy and Stevens are bandaging Marlowe's wound]::Stevens: What's the matter with you, Stevens?::Stevens: Oh, nothing.::Dr. Kennedy: You're a liar, Stevens. You shave your legs and you're a liar. But you care. You care; that's what saves you.::Stevens: Saves me from what, sir?::Dr. Kennedy: Yourself, Stevens, yourself.::Stevens: I thought you were gonna say from a fate worse than death, sir.::Dr. Kennedy: There's no such thing.

Cpl. King: [to Marlowe] You know, before this, everybody had it made but me. The closest I ever got was to read it out of magazines. I used to watch those real fancy dolls getting out of the big cars going to eat the big dinner. And they're always with pigs. You know, real pigs. Fat old guys; but they had it made.

[last lines]::Peter Marlowe: [speaking about King] It wouldn't have occurred to you would it, Grey, that you're only alive because of what he gave you?::Lt. Robin Grey: What are you talking about? I never took anything from him. He never gave me anything.::Peter Marlowe: Only hate, Grey. Only hate.

Cpl. King: [while preparing meal] If you don't want to eat it, you can sit and watch, it's a free prison!
