Title: XPress Mag WA - Win 1/10 DP's to The Great Escaper/Closes 5/3 Post by: oldfellow on Friday 01 March 2024, 09:07:50 pm https://xpressmag.com.au/win-the-great-escaper-movie-tickets/
Win! The Great Escaper Movie tickets 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 Landing 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. Thanks to Transmission Films, we are delighted to have ten double passes to give away to The Great Escaper opening nationally in cinemas on Thursday, March 7. To WIN, email us here at win@xpressmag.com.au with The Great Escaper in the subject line, drop your address and phone number in the copy, then tag the mate you will take in the Facebook post.
